BenWL, I like that but you have missed a few other absolute requirements: 1. Tut, tut very loudly if anyone arrives later than 5 minutes before kick off, so making the supporter get to their feet, or have to re-arrange tartan blanket. 2. Insist on no breathing during kicks, unless this inhalation is...

Complete nonsense. It was not 1 or 2 fans leaving, it was thousands whilst Flood was kicking. It is terribly hypocritical to think we are wonderful fans, then to leave early so disturbing others who have also paid to watch. It is damn rude to the kicker, the other fans, and to the opposition. As for...

Many Tigers fans are a bunch of hypocrites. Don't make any noise during kicks, apart from ridiculous patronising shushing noises, but walk out early in their thousands disturbing Flood as he takes a kick, and shout cheat at the opposition in their thousands. Oh, but we are lovely and quiet during ki...

In your opinion Tiger Roars, and of course you are entitled to it. I happen to think you are myopic and wrong. Disagreements happen!! Mauger was the only back (apart from GM) who played with any class for us against Wasps, and the only one who made a decent break. He is a class player in my opinion,...

Spot on DW. No-one at a level of corporate responsibility ever said he was sacked because we didn't win anything. There was clearly something much more crucial than that, with discontent apparent at both playing and board level. The board made a mistake in hiring him, but at least they had the balls...

Entirely agree with you. However, they are entitled to their opinions. Even if we win 3 trophies some will be unhappy, I think I try and be positive in all aspects of life, whereas we are not all the same, thank heavens. 3 out of 3, what a fabulous start to the season. And with a coach who will hard...

No, I don't think you were quoted. I think "believe it when we see it" or words to that effect are pretty common and said by many in relation to this topic.

I have had beer spilt over me twice at rugby matches, both times at Harlequins' ground. The second time was a full tray of about 6 pints when a drunken idiot slipped over in the row behind. It is the closest I have been to violence at a rugby match! I have had drinks spilt on me by children too, but...

This thread is all so typical of the "children should be seen and not heard" attitude of the Brits. I love travelling on the continent where they love children, rather than tolerating them as long as they do not act like children. If a child is quiet abroad they wonder what is wrong with i...

I think it is a risk worth taking. Caucau is without a doubt one of the most exciting rugby players on the planet, on his day. If it doesn't work, so what. We are making money as a club and he will not be paid a fortune in real terms. I believe it is a calculated risk but one worth taking. His balan...

Are you bored with pedantry and personal petty feuds?

I do not come onto this site very often. I sometimes pop back and realise, very quickly, why I don't habitually contribute. This post is in itself boring, but also IMHO entirely necessary.

A dignified honest man

2 finals. Even if we lose the league any club's fans apart from Tigers' would consider that a pretty decent season. I would like to thank Marcello for the dignified way he has dealt with what is in my view unwarranted calls for him to be sacked, (sometimes for picking Hipkiss rather than another unt...
