Nursing a hangover today but on reflection the atmosphere was a bit more edgy in the stadium than usual. I think the Calcutta Cup is starting to bring in Scottish fans who don't really watch rugby.
There were some blokes behind me shouting "offside!" at everything no matter what was actually happening on the pitch. At least they should be shouting "off-feet!" at every ruck like the rest of us!!
The chanting was more football style at points too... idk maybe I'm being a gatekeepy snob griping about new fans in the crowd.
It's the later kickoff. Folk start drinking too early and are wankered by 5. And the offside crowd blatently don't watch anything other than the six nations. The Millenium Stadium has an alcohol free section, I think time for Murrayfield too
