Does it depend on which side of the GR pitch he's throwing in from? 🤞😊 |

Oh chance would be a fine thing! I am unsure of their actual purpose, for what they contribute you could have two school boys running along the line and holding the flag up where the Referee says the line out should take place from as the assistants usually get that wrong too.

Well said both. Obviously easy answer Kimbo. He's only 21 still learning, and is used to the slope 😉 He will be spot on for the return games. The restart off side is so annoying. After all there is a white line for the 22 and half way to help, but spotting it in open play seems easier. Surely one of sir's assistants should stand at the appropriate line and do what his title suggests.

Rejoice in the fact that ‘not straight’ was pinged. On Saturday, on four occasions Pirates were 5 yard in front of the kicker at a restart which the referee saw and decided it was fine. |

Oh, our lineout was poor-to-shart for much of the game - no argument. I was referring to the fact that your man was pinged at least twice in good field positions for 'not straight'. |

According to T R P Coventry lost the same number of line outs 4 as Bedford. Just in the interests of fairness.

We should actually be able to field a fly half for the first time this season too which will help. |

The added time came from Bedford's infringing in the last ten minutes while under the cosh on the line. Sir can't stop the game while he's playing constant penalties and dishing out cards.
Not a criticism BTW.

Pleased with the improvement in the Blues yesterday and will take an away point at Cov any day, they are a good side. Can’t see where the excessive extra time came from, considering there were no injuries. However, really enjoyed the day at Cov as always, superb beer selection in the Broomfield Tavern. Ealing on Friday next, so another good measure of improvement to see, hopefully.

Crazy match at Vallis Way and certainly not one for the purists. In the first half Jersey were truly woeful - picking a pack with essentially 5 specialist loose forwards still requires them to lock out the scrum on their own ball and get the ball down the channel and out. The pack couldn't do it in the first half and a succession of scrum penalties and the unedifying sight of a Jersey pack pushed off their own ball as if their boots were fitted with roller skates rather than studs was a sorry sight. If the Jersey loose head hadn't been subbed he was surely going to be sent to the naughty step but imo he is the best loose head in the club and the problem is probably locking the scum behind him. The Ealing tight head won the man of the match award but honestly he is no more than a decent player and would imo struggle against Sam Lockwood. 33 Nil at half time - it could have been more and Ealing didn't have to get out of second gear to achieve it. Second half Jersey scored SIX TRIES and if the game had run another handful of minutes looked like scoring every time the backs got the ball in their hands - a losing bonus point after that first half so well done to the coaches and players but for goodness sake learn a few lessons before we play Donny & Falcons. Late in the second half Jersey were awarded a free kick in the attacking quarter of the pitch and despite calls to tap and go from the crowd, coaches and outside backs someone asked the referee for a scrum - the subsequent scrum pen to Ealing was the natural consequence. Ealing have some cracking players but six tries conceded in 40 mins says it all as to where their problem lies. Delighted to see an old St Ouens lad score the opening try and have an all round quality match. Brilliant hospitality as always at Ealing - I hope they have a great season and give Falcons a real contest.

Thanks for the kind words about the hospitality Stalwart. I agree with you’re summary of the game. I thought Donny could possibly sneak it when it got back to 31-25 but then Pirates took a territorial grip of the game in the last quarter. I think Donny are in a rebuilding phase at the moment and are integrating a lot of new faces into the team and club. This has not been made easy by a long injury list. I think we will have our highs and lows this season but that’s just what happens when you have a changeover in playing personnel. Despite the result I felt there was progress today compared to the home game v Pirates last season. Finally I must say what great supporters Pirates have. You always bring good numbers and vocally back you’re team. Those that follow the Pirates away from home deserve all the credit in the world, the definition of proper rugby supporters. I think Pirates will finish in the top 4 this season, you’ve got a very good squad and coaching team. Good luck v Newcastle next week. |

Cracking game at Castle Park which was in the balance just after half time when Donny came right back into the game. Pirates regrouped, brought on some fresh legs and finished strongly to bag the 5 points.
Castle Park is a great venue and the people there are amongst the friendliest and most helpful in all our away trips. Good luck to them for the rest of the season - they look a pretty good side and will take a few scalps I reckon.
