DO TIGERS FANS NEED A SONG?

The boring and less than inspiring chant of "tigers, tigers" has been ringing around Welford Road for donkey's years. I can't be the only one who finds it so, surely? Visiting Clermont and hearing their fans sing réal songs made me wonder. I have stolen the Irish RFU anthem which fits perf...

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

Totally agree. I think he's ;pretty much nailed down as head honcho . Worries me a little but let's get behind him.

Re: Tigers post Borthwick

The pay out for Borthwick would be substantial and even more if he takes Sinfield with him!!

Don't see how Burns still gets a start. He's been poor all season.

Re: Tigers v Bath (A) - 11th November 2022 - KO 19:45

We were so annoying but the whole of the commentary team were against us, calling out every time there was any coming together and Austin Healey should be ashamed of his bias against us. Little man with a massive chip on his shoulder against Tigers. The worst was the BT bloke. Anythin decent that B...

Re: Tigers v Bath (A) - 11th November 2022 - KO 19:45

Yet again we didn't manage the game. 2 minutes to go, in possession. Bath should never have seen that ball again. Just like Exeter, we kick it back to them. Just stupid. That'stwo losses wjich should have been wins. All the chat about refs and TMO's is nonsense. We gave the game away with poor game ...

Re: Clermont travel arrangements

Just booked Eurostar £88 rtn. Paris to Clermont around the £60 rtn. Hotel in the city booked £84 Double Room B&B. Watch out for your timings, we did the same, Eurostar only gave us 1 hour to cross Paris, train arrived 25 mins late into Gare de Nord, we missed our connection at Bercy station, it...

Re: Tigers v Exeter (Away) - 10th September 2022 - 3-00pm

Whilst I agree with all the comments about stats, tackles, carries, mètres made etc etc, the fact is we were leading with three minutes to go and with à free kick from the scrum. We should have been able to run down the clock from there. Game management cost us the game even though we deserved to lo...

Re: Toulon v Tigers - Challenge Cup Semi

There’s some positives in there for sure, but the alarming inconsistency at 9 and 10, from two of our most experienced operators is a worry. I mean, an off day yes, but (I think) at 14-21....we kick to the corner....and the ball goes dead. Take the 3 please !! The amount of kicks that went dead. Th...

Green, white and red shoots of recovery.

Re: Midweek Game - Wed 09 Sep Away to Wasps

the slower we play the worse we are, but our performance wasn't as bad as "Sirs", he was reffing a different game. This above all is very disappointing, Karl Dickson was one of the better refs. He has, I think, gone backwards! I feel all refs have gone backwards and I believe it's the TMO...

Re: Tigers vs Sale - 05 Sep 20

I may be blinkered but all I see are positives in the context that while Sale are a very good powerful team and title contender with a complete game (Their FH is wonderful to watch), we are only a few games into recovery from a 5 year Malaise . SB is building the game from ground up (Quite literall...

Re: Gloucester vs. Tigers - Sun 30 Aug 20 (1630)

Lavanini lost the ball in contact, which led to a Gloucester try but I’m not sure if it was a rip or a knock-on, conveniently there was never a replay to show it. But he really stepped up yesterday and played well for most if not all of the game, was very good in close quarters defence and also his...
