Pro14 Final Glasgow v Leinster 18.30 Sat 25th May

I'd say there were a considerable amount of soccer fans at that game, doing most of the booing.

You've never watched a game in Scotstoun then?
They're always at it.

What a class act Johnny giving the trophy to Seanie to lift. I had a feeling he'd do that.
Bookies had it right on 3 points but it was a bit close for comfort.
Not a bad end to the season though.

Ah they're not that bad though. That was worse than Welsh crowds

[tingman]

Boo boys didn't stick around for the presentation then

Yeah no kidding - expect no less.

Scotstoun crowd are shocking for it.

It seems to be acceptable in some places. Over here, the Irish teams generally cheer their own team rather than booing the opposition unless there's some sort of foul play or obviously bad decision (or any decision that doesn't go our way!). The English clubs' fans don't really get involved in the booing either. Any way, it makes it better when an away teams wins when the home fans are booing.

[Dave Cahill]

If you're booing you're losing.

So long may it continue.

It's contrary to the sportsmanship inherent to the values of rugby.

That was a hell of a tough game! Took everything we had - lots of defensive scrambling, a real opportunist's try and very, very good management of the clock and referee. Glasgow were very impressive in the first half and looked dangerous throughout, but we dominated territory in the second half; given the weather, that was the way to do it. Can't recall another Celtic League/Pro12/14 final when it rained so bloody heavily!

The players looked exhausted to me at the end of that. They absolutely played themselves to a standstill. I've a real feeling of relief that such a good season was rewarded with another pot. Those guys worked bloody hard for it.

[Twist]

Glasgow have a great team but their fans can absolutely f%~k off with their booing. Its crept into the national support too

Tough enough first half but we bossed the second half and won well. Offside does not appear to be an offence anymore and the scrum was largely a joke.

[Ruckedtobits]

Was worried for a few minutes that the decision to leave Jack Mc out of the 23 might come back to haunt us, it didn't. Excellent tactical and physical second-half with everyone constantly aware of where we wanted to play the game. The weather placed a very high premium on ball handling and possibly cost us a couple of clean break possibilities in the first half.

Overall thought we deserved our win, albeit with some ugly rugby in last quarter. Was amazed we didn't take points to go ahead by 11. Lots of top displays but Larmour, McGrath, Healy, Ryan and back-row were magnificent, IMO.

Very very pleased for Leo and everyone behind the scenes. Great Club performance and rewards for lots of the Pro14 team throughout the season.

[Jonny tight lips]

Jack McGrath is gonna be missed

[blockhead]

Phew!
Well done boys, I was concerned when we didn't take more points during their yellow card period. We should have killeed the game at that stage. But hey, we won our 6th Pro14 and our 11th pro title .
Seanie lifting the trophy was a nice touch, he is a Leinster Ledge after all.

Almost a perfect year.

Really toughed it out against highly motivated, skilled and aggressive opponents backed by a raucous crowd. A combination of us edging the battle of the packs and the poor conditions tipped the balance in our favour.

Great way to finish the season and well-deserved after the disappointment of last week.

[Blueberry]

Pack were exceptional, physically ahead from the first contact. Rain helped as it restricted Glasgow but never really felt we were going to lose it due to the physical dominance. Ryan and Healy bossed the contact area and VDF truly exceptional game, constantly off the line quickly and endlessly disruptive in the Glasgow passing channels. We did look tired at points (not surprising after two heavy games in the last two weeks) but kept it tight and used a lot of experience to grind out a very wet second half. Real day for the 1-8 but Henshaw worth a mention as he was defensively excellent. Kudos to Larmour too, mature display. Celtic Park fantastic stadium bar the boo boys.

An over-used phrase, but hard to avoid; end of an era.

Home reared boys who came through the system- ‘youths’ and academy to be great for us and help to make us great. They’ll be missed.

I believe Jack will go on to have other very good (maybe even ‘’great’) days with the Nordies. But I feel more rueful/ melancholic for Sean. I hope I’m wrong, but I think that it will be hard for him at LI. He was a special player- and while it ended more with a whimper than a bang for him this last couple of seasons, he is a vital part of our heritage and story.

Anyway- really satisfying performance last night. The drizzle was drenching and in the circumstances our tactics were far better suited. The Parkhead crowd were mad with Nigel- aren’t Glasgow fans always a bit like that, but we were too far away down the Leinster goal end to make any judgement on whether it was the usual moaning at illegal play been actually reffed- or if they had a point. I suspect the former...

Glasgow fans frustrated around us anyway, we physically were on top and managed the clock very well and Nigel copped it. He didn't have a great game but it didn't impact the outcome.
