Where is Andy Craig? Would also prefer to see Mike Robert's start ahead of O'Hare, to me he hasn't shown us anything special yet.

Well, isn't it a treat to see a Glasgow line up that aproximates a full strength squad? It is a real joy to have big JP back in his boots. Unfortunatly i am unable to travel to Ulster tomorrow and as such shall be unable to view another away game. this brought me to thinking, wouldn't it be fabulous to be able to view our away games somwhere? In the Firhill bar perhaps or indeed anywhere one could slip a few cold ones down while cheering on our boys. I can't speak for the rest of the fans but i would gladly pay a fiver or so to watch an away game in a pub somwhere. Is this really such a far our suggestion? Surely there is a pub near Firhill who could do with the extra buisness and I am sure that our Warriors could use the extra revenue gained from our away games. How about it?
P.S. Good luck in Ulster lads GO ON THE WARRIORS!!

Check the forum (Social section) - the game's on Setanta and apparently the Lansdowne bar in Kelvinside will be showing it.

I also called the Lansdowne and they wont be showing the game. Is there another pub who are showing it? How can we find out? Can it be viewed on the internet somwhere? C'mon Warriors, give us some options!

Yep - called the Landsdowne to double check too. I think you're basically stuffed tv-wise in Scotland if the game's on a Saturday.

Just phoned Waxy O'Connor's in George Sq. The woman said they ARE showing rugby this afternoon and that it's on Setanta - she couldn't tell me what game it is but it's got to be ours as the Edinburgh game doesn't kick off till 7.30.

Finger's crossed!!
