Somewhat squeaky bum time at the end but Guy Thompson- well done sir. Absolutely immense.

I have been watching the game with a time lapse, I thought George Fords behaviour was awful when taking the conversation, I've always believed that Tigers played the game in the spirit of the game, maybe we have sunk to the depths of Saracens, we are what we think we are in the spirit of rugby, a sad day for my club, down there with the cheating of Neil Back.

Well done lads!

- Guy Thompson has to be one of the first names on the team sheet each week.
- George Ford should be the permanent captain.
- Can we sign the Falcons 15?
- Ben White is developing into a very good SH.
- Toomua had a good game.
- Genge worries me (even though I love the fire, he really does cut it fine and it will/does cost us).

Well that has to be the easiest man of the match decision ever. Guy Thompson, best forward, best centre, both by a country mile, take a bow and go straight to club captain. :smt023

The rest of you - you were just making the numbers up, as usual.

Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

TBH I wouldn't want to see that again. like the commentary said, let's hope tigers don't regret it with 90 seconds to go....

Next time play the game timely, if you're good enough you'll succeed.

No, we have sunk to 10th in the table. Gentlemen in the championship, no thanks.

Uncomfortable though, admittedly.

When taking the conversion, GF waited for the whole 90 seconds before kicking, to waste time. Personally, I'm happy for us to do whatever means necessary to win. We need the points.

Given his overall season performance, that's no where near as important as the result itself.

I'l take a quiet ford game if we get the result we needed....oh you meant what did he DO - stood and waited till 87 seconds to kick.

Absolutely agree, just sums up Tigers negative, defeatist attitude. I hope a sanction is forthcoming. :smt009
