Fuckin Steve Walsh sure knows how to stamp his persona on a game.
shame it ruins it for the rest of us. Aussie tit

Too true. Contest over but Scotland are making a decent show of themselves
and the game is still good to watch. I think it would have been a cracker
had Murray not gone for what was an incredibly harsh judgement from Welsh,
errr Walsh sorry. If it was a slap it would have been over emphasised had it
been described as 'handbags'.

Ref's spoiled it I'm afraid.

Nah, he should've walked for kicking out. Harsh but fair.....


Why not 10 mins for the both of em. Walsh with his "by the laws of the
game" crap screwed the game if not the result. What the Welsh guys
should be worried about is how well the Scottish scrum stood up after
the sending off. Scotland were very unlikely ever to have won the game
but I now hope that the loss doesn't send them back into their shells
it's great to see them playing this way.

Since when is a double footed, studs bared, stamp in the face NOT a
sending off? If it had happened to an English player, the executioner
would even now be sharpening his axe. I hope the guy gets ten weeks.

Scotland will draw some comfort from this, because they played very
well when they were down, and took the game to Wales whenever they had
an opportunity. At least they didn't suffer an absolute hammering like
last year. My few pints of Scottish blood are very proud - the boys
done good.
Did you actually see it?

Well, yes I did, did you?

Would hardly call a guy lying on the ground
lashing out with his feet a stamp.

Semantics! It doesn't matter what the relative positions are, it was a
stamping action, it just happened to be upwards rather than downwards.
The classical definition of a stamp includes the notion of a downward
movement, but only the most challenged would exclude an upward motion
in some circumstances. But for you, I'll call it a kick.

If Gough had been lying there in
the scrum and Murray had jumped on his head then that is a stamp.
Murray didn't even look where his feet were he just lashed out after
been hit from behind after a very late tackle even walsh called it a
kick. Wasnt much of one anyway it hardly drew blood after all and
Gough didn't exactly look dazed by it did he.

It wasn't VERY late, it was late, but no later than many other tackles
in the match, all of which went unpunished.
