Ulster - Scarlets

What's mcdowell getting criticised for?

Not allowing the try. apparently the TMO can't rule on decisions such as knock ons. I'm unaware of rules, but would surely you could give the knock on in response to the question, "is there any reason why I cannot award the try?"

HUmph proved tonite he will never make an international with his girly tackles...my god is he p$sh poor...great attacker sh1t defender.

that is technically true but they can have no complaints, there was a knock on. Ulster had a try disallowed against saracens 2005, where the video ref ruled on maggs being in touch before he passed to bowe which again is technically something he can't rule in but it was the right decision and Ulster had no complaints, which is just right

I think that they were possibly alluding to bias as he is from NI. But McDowell also made a big decision against Ireland as TMO a couple of years ago if I remember correctly?

TMO is usually Marshall Kilgore.

I'd like to know if iHumph has concussion to be honest I reckon he got pollaxed early on and he wasn't right after that - maybe why he ran away from tackles.

Danielli - I'm sorry the guy is done, international winger - not any more. I like the guy he's played his best stuff for us but he's nowhere near fit enough to displace Gilroy.

[29xThePain]

After tonight's performance, I'm wondering if Danielli is seriously considering retirement. I understand he's had recurring hamstring issues but surely the drop in pace could not be that bad, considering he'd be classed as an elite athlete (international)?

[Cornerfleg]

He just doesn't look happy and hungry - compared to Gilroy who looks liek a feckin Duracell Bunny after 80 minutes!

[Big-al]

Danielli was very, very slow looking.

Anyway, we probably deserved the win, although we fecked around in our own half until we lost it.


Screw the Welsh, they where laughing at Ireland when Phillips scored that illegal try. What comes around goes around!!!!

Sure it is his own call to consider his retirement, but it is up to the Ulster coaching team to realise that he should not be playing in an Ulster jersey.Plus can you explain your understanding of his hamstrings,and where did you get this information from,my understanding is that any player who has particular injury problems would be extrremely peeved by a poster pretending to have inside knowledge running off at the mouth speculating about said injury.

[tommya]

Was Simon McDowell a late replacement because he was not listed and the commentator did not mention him ??????
or is he just being blamed in the wrong

[29xThePain]

Sorry, my mistake. Has had injuries to shoulder and also has previous on knee injuries. I'm sure I read somewhere he injured his hamstrings though

Pretty sure they said McDowell on BBC Wales

[Pimpmac]

It was not McDowell it was Marshall KIlgore end of....

[tommya]

listed officials
Graham Knox (from the Peter Allan school of reffing).
Assts - John Carvill
B O'Keefe.
TMO Marshall Kilgore.
Assesor Brian Stirling.

so where they got Simon McDowell from who knows

[Jackie Brown]

BBC Wales are a bitter twisted bunch. Jonathon Davies is their lead boy for Fecksakes, no commentator is more one eyed than that little twirp.
