Nope.

A 'brave' decision is where you take an unpopular view which favours the AWAY team in the last minute.

(I have no view as to whether the call was right, as I haven't seen it.)
Sometimes, it gets to the point where you wonder what kind of parallel or alternative reality that Brian MacNeice inhabits.

Maybe an Irish legend decides that brave is the closest he can get to being recorded live on TV criticising a fellow, maybe ex fellow, employee.

Just seen it, grounded short, against a boot and then went forward. No try in my opinion.

If we win we're in the CC. We'll be above Castres.
That part is simple.

If we win with a BP and a +31 point margin, we will overtake Cardiff, which could mean round of 16 in this cup, as long as Wasps get 0 points and Stade don't get 5 points.

So there's an incentive to win. Another European double header against and English/French team or Edinburgh

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Mike Adamson
Brian MacNeice TMO with the contentious injury time decision
It continues to confound me how on earth MacNeice still gets a gig with the video screens.
If MacNeice is not corrupt then he is the most incompetent man ever to have a job let alone TMO
In fairness to the TMO,  it was Adamson and the linesman  that missed the forward pass and Adamson himself that penalised the legitimate turnover. I don't think the TMO can come in on these decisions unless called in by the ref.  

Keep the faith

I’ve some restaurant recommendations albeit from the European Finals weekend, in 2017, courtesy of a then Lyon resident Montpellier fan.

Keep them handy Steve.Thumbs Up

Just seen it was Mike Adamson.

I think it would help if people remembered that no referee is perfect. No TMO is perfect, despite the huge technological advantages bestowed upon them. Still many of them manage to grasp an illogical decision despite the sunami of video evidence.

Much as there’s room to criticise referees, some degree of objectivity is called for. 

I’ve not seen the action nor have I much credence for Adamson’s accuracy and matchday presence. 

There are plenty of refs you could say the same thing. Without them, there is no game.

A referee, TMO, etc is perfectly capable of misinterpreting what’s in front of their eyes. IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE CORRUPT.

Unless you’ve proof, it’s probably best to keep those thoughts to yourself. 

Get a grip.Google 'metaphor'.
Quick clarification, apology and total exoneration for Townboy and Dic P. 

In no way does my rant/lecture apply to them. Their comments are perfectly fine. I’d read others that did mention corrupt etc and it was those that I was addressing.

As for us, we've not won a game of note against TOP opposition in almost 4 years since beating Leinster at home in a league game.

If we end within 20 points of them I'll be pleasantly surprised.  I don't usually post predictions but I can't see anything other than a dismal defeat.  We'd be better off with a COVID 28-0 again.
Nothing incorrect in what you say, except what is the point of being a fan, spending your money, travelling to the game unless you have a shred of optimism?
