Re: What annoys people????
It is a farce to see scenarios like this.
"JACK DEMPSEY says he will make an announcement within the next three to four weeks about whether he is going to make himself available for Scotland selection leading into next year’s World Cup or stick to trying to rekindle his international career with Australia.
The 28-year-old back-rower was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and has played in 14 full international matches for the Wallabies. However, a recent change in World Rugby’s international eligibility rules mean that a capped player can now switch allegiance to another country to which he/she has “a close and credible link via birthright”, so long as they undertake a three-year cooling off period. Dempsey has a Scottish grandfather and he has not played for Australia since their World Cup pool match victory over Georgia on 11th October 2019, meaning that he will become eligible to wear the thistle late next month should be choose to go that route.
This is not what the change of regulation was introduced to do. It was supposed to help redress an imbalance which sees poorer rugby nations continually lose playing talent to ‘super-hoover’ tier one sides. However, Scotland isn’t the only country prepared to take the view that the letter of the law trumps the spirit of the law when it comes to building as competitive a national team as possible, and head coach Gregor Townsend will not think twice about turning to Dempsey as he looks ahead at a killer 2023 World Cup pool which features world champions, South Africa, and World Rugby’s current number one ranked team, Ireland."

Backline bar. Despite a relatively small crowd last night the waiting times were ridiculous. It's all well and good having people pouring pints but if no-one is lifting money the queue doesn't move.

Of course, if things go the way they've been going, Scotland won't remain a tier 1 nation for too much longer!Jetstream wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 9:17 am It is a farce to see scenarios like this.

It’s pathetic. Think it’s the worst bar I’ve ever seen at a professional sporting event and I’ve been to a lot.jean valjean wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 11:08 am Backline bar.

There is one bar queue at Ravenhill that is always much shorter than the rest. I always join it and can't figure out why no-one else doesjustinr73 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 12:10 amIt’s pathetic.

Do try to stay on topic, good man. I find it very annoying when others stray off topic.
Not when I do it of course ....
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Isn't even halloween yet but I can't fail to notice the shops are displaying christmas stuff and the christmas ads are starting to appear on the tele. There should be a law banning this crap before December.
