Re: Tigers v Exeter (A) - Premiership - Saturday 23rd December 2023 - KO 3-00pm

Well, glad I did not shell out my cash for a ticket and fuel to go to Exeter. What a load of utter dross. For me our so called ‘stars’ (Weiser and Steward excepted) need to take a long hard look at themselves, they were awful. We are going backwards, no grunt going forward, no penetration, basic han...

Re: Tigers v Stade Francais (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 17th December 2023 - KO:5-30pm

If that second ball got on to the pitch from a Stade ball boy they should be booted out of the competition for blatant cheating. With all the cameras these days it should be easy to determine.

Re: Atmosphere during games

No we do not music blasting out or people telling us when to cheer, like they have at Quins and Newcastle. I agree the game has too many stoppages, scrum resets, endless TMO intervention and what have you. They are what needs addressing, not anything else.

Re: Tigers v Quins (H) - Premiership - Saturday 11th November 2023 KO: 15:05

Very disappointed with the performance yesterday. Our defence was porous, ball handling errors abounded, line out still a lottery, and under powered at the breakdown. That was a pretty average Quinns performance, but we made them look good. I do not think we exited cleanly once from a kick off havin...

Re: Play Off Semi-final - Sale - 14th May 2023 - KO 3-00pm

After a valiant 64 minutes a combination of poor skill execution and bad judgement gifted this game to Sale.

I hope Sale beat the Saracens, but sadly I cannot see it happening.

Re: 6 Nations 2023

So, all you have to do is run at the opposition leading with your head and hey presto the opponents all get sent off. Utter garbage. As for the itv pundits only Sir Clive had anything sensible to say, all the others were waffling on about duty of care and other cobblers. Jaco Peiper has form for dod...

Re: Tigers v Saints (H) - Saturday 28th January 2023 - KO 14:00

Well just back from the match, another disappointing outing. We were clueless most of the time and aside from Potter’s breakthrough tries we did not really create very much. There were errors all over the place (knock ons and yet again a faltering line out) and utterly aimless kicking, - we really d...

Re: Tigers v Ospreys (H) - Friday 20th January 2023 - KO 20:00

Another game we should have won but contrived to loose it. Too many missed opportunities and sloppy play. That said some fine performances too, Freddy Steward, Tommy Reffel, and Harry Simmonds, take a bow!

Re: Tigers v Clermont (A) - Friday 13th January 2023 - KO 20-00

Have been critical for last two weeks, but credit where credit due, that was so much better tonight. Yes, we were far from perfect defensively, but on attack we showed ambition and took our chances very well. Hopefully a win at home next Friday will instil some self confidence and set us up for the ...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Saturday 07th January 2023 - KO 14:00

Well, the second walloping in a row, except this time it was bottom of the league Newcastle. This season is essentially done now. Can only imagine the stuffing we will get next week at Clermont. I feel for Wiggy, he never asked for the job now, and he has been dropped in it rather like Murphy was af...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Friday 30th December 2022 - KO:19:45

Well that’s the wheels well and truly off the wagon. We will see what Wiggy is made of now. Unlucky with the injuries, but some of the decision making and tactics were lamentable. Not sure how Borthwick and Sinfield had the nerve to show up there tonight having dropped us in the soft and brown. I ca...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre World Cup)

What ever your personal feelings may be that was never an option. Borthwick was contracted to stay until the end of this season so staying was always an option. You honestly think that the correct thing to do was keep him at the club at any cost once Tigers were contacted by the RFU about him being...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre World Cup)

I am in awe of what Steve Borthwick (alongside our CEO) has done at Tigers and hold him in the highest regard for turning us around. The last 18 months have been the return of the great times to be a Tigers fan. It's been wonderful. We knew he'd either fail at Tigers or, most likely, leave during t...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre World Cup)

Do not give a flying fig about England or the clots in blazers that run the R F U. Extremely disappointed with Borthwick and cannot bring myself to forgive him for walking out and leaving us in the lurch. He might have led us to a title last season, but that does not give him a free pass to shaft us...
