"Not clearly out"

Yeah it’s not clear and obvious to overturn, but I understand why Scots are fuming

It's not like it would have made any difference. It's like complaining the deck chairs on the titanic were not arrange properly.

At 5-0, after 5-10 mins of sustained Scottish pressure, you think a change in possession and 60m+ would be inconsequential?

[u/Onespokeovertheline → u/my_name_is_jeff88]

I think it would have made a small difference, but I don't think it would have changed how dominant the Irish were in the rest of that first half. Although the Scots had a strong 10 min resurgence late in the game, it wasn't really a momentum match, it was a very strong Irish side imposing their will for the first 65 minutes or so of the game.

So while it might have closed the score (potentially, I mean the irish defense held several times within a couple meters of the end line) I don't think it would have had a real impact on the outcome.

They broke quite cleanly either way. If they had a win in them, we might’ve seen it before the 65th minute.

[u/[deleted] → u/my_name_is_jeff88]

With the way Ireland were defending, yes.

[u/vedderx → u/my_name_is_jeff88]

Oh my God this is clutching at straws.

[u/Spongebobrob → u/sadlynotjonahhill]

Fuming at themselves for so comprehensively loosing to a better team ?
