Re: Booing the last kick.
I have never heard that much booing before a kick at ANY game in this division before let alone at the Tigers. For the first time ever I was ashamed to be a member of this Club but if this is the way we are going my days as a season ticket holder are numbered

Re: Booing the last kick.
I seem to be in the minority here as I am not upset by the booing during the final kick. Fans were frustrated so it's not surprising that it spilled over. Towards the end of the game there was actually a sense of atmosphere for once, a bit of "edge" to the normal crowd.
While I am not for turning the crowd into that of a football match I feel there is nothing wrong with this mild act of "rebellion". It shows people have some passion. Why should they stand in silence like they are in a school assembly?
I was stood near the Irish Bishop/Pope and there was banter flying around all afternoon with people having pictures taken with him pre match. Both sets of fans seemed to enjoy this interaction. Again it brought some atmosphere which is what the terraces are all about.

Re: Booing the last kick.
I was ashamed of some of our supporters behaviour! Taking our frustrations out on the opposition kicker is just not acceptable!
If winning isn't everything, why do they bother keeping score?
Re: Booing the last kick.
Well if my memory serves me right booing accompanied a penalty kick by Paddy Jackson in our home leg against Ulster at Welford Rd last season.Bundy wrote:I have never heard that much booing before a kick at ANY game in this division before let alone at the Tigers.

Re: Booing the last kick.
No excuses and there was booing throughout the kick not just before or after the kick. I have been to games where people have booed and slow-handclapped the ref for a decision but then silence for the kicker. Totally unacceptable. Bad losers springs to mind. Its alright respecting the kickers when your team has been winning for years but a true measure is how the fans react when times are bad. Last week I was not ashamed to be a Tigers fan but disappointed, this week I was disappointed with the result but ashamed to be associated with so called Tigers fans.
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

I do sometimes feel tigers fan can be to quiet but the silence at the kick has been a long tradition, and supporters need to be more self disciplined and used that frustration more towards egging on the team.
I doubt as a player that hearing boos even aimed at the ref or the opposition will motivate them.
That's what I hate about the shed is that they mix atmosphere with just being loud even in a negative way.

Being sanctimonious is not a quality that I aspire to.

Re: Booing the last kick.
The announcement over the PA system said it all: "Remember, guys: this is Tigers".
Is it just me or was this crossing of the line actually worse than the home defeat?

Re: Booing the last kick.
Sorry I don't know sign language, but frustrations will boil over as during the game there were numerous decisions that the officials got wrong..... 2 linouts weren't straight , 1 irish and 1 Tigers yet due to the officials positioning couldn't be spotted. 1 tigers attack was stopped due to forward pass yet the tv replay showed it going backwards and then also in the 1st half an irish penalty was reversed as there number 7 punched Jamie Gibson after referring to the tmo, yet no card to the no. 7 .isn't a punch a card offence ?L Smith wrote:Okay Dunks, I'll take you at face value but I will question your level of hearing!

Re: Booing the last kick.
Fair précis of some of the many officiating errors today. I appreciate that when you're passionate about something, it is difficult to show restraint but I want to make this clear: the reason that most people here are so upset is the booing during the kick. Oh, and someone in the Crumbie calling the ref a Berkshire hunt.dunks43 wrote:Sorry I don't know sign language, but frustrations will boil over as during the game there were numerous decisions that the officials got wrong..... 2 linouts weren't straight , 1 irish and 1 Tigers yet due to the officials positioning couldn't be spotted. 1 tigers attack was stopped due to forward pass yet the tv replay showed it going backwards and then also in the 1st half an irish penalty was reversed as there number 7 punched Jamie Gibson after referring to the tmo, yet no card to the no. 7 .isn't a punch a card offence ?L Smith wrote:Okay Dunks, I'll take you at face value but I will question your level of hearing!

Disgusting thing to say even if it is true it isn't something to point out to someone.

Re: Booing the last kick.
The booing was out of order and is something I hope will not be repeated at Welford Road.
However, it is up to us to inform these idiots that we don't tolerate this behaviour at our club.
Do not let them spoil our club!
