Yesterday was cumulative - a chain of clearly inaccurate decisions and a steady ignoring of facets of the laws.

Salvi was blown up for one of the penalties they scored from for not releasing when he was the only Tiger over the ball and hadn't even been involved in the tackle!
We lost because we didn't take our chances but the ref 'lost' the crowd by the 30th minute: sad really because he'd been spot on to spot the obstruction to disallow their early 'try', but it all went downhill from there.

Tyzot,

Re: Booing the last kick.
That is fine so let's stop bigging ourselves up saying we are ALWAYS silent for the kicks. If we are going to boo when we believe it was a poor decision then really we have to making that claim.DickyP wrote:It's not exactly the first time it's happened is it?

Tyzot is spot on. Suggest you learn a few rules of the club and game.Tomvarndell wrote:Tyzot,

I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
Re: Booing the last kick.
Could get in a long, involved philosophical argument here but in short I don't think it conflicts. I didn't boo and didn't like the fact it happened, and merely commented on the fact that I understood why it did and that it wasn't exactly unique!. I generally think the game was played in the correct spirit, all the players giving their all - I merely commented on what I though was an incomplete performance by a ref I usually like.Granby wrote:Not sure how this approach equates with your footnoteDickyP wrote:It's not exactly the first time it's happened is it?

Re: Booing the last kick.
It would seems that the standards of some of the crowd are following the standards of the rugby Tigers are playing.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

The Telegraph have got it spot on. the fans let the club down on saturday.
I didn't like the decision as much as anyone else, but the behaviour of the "fans" during the last kick was appalling, I left embarressed to be a tigers fan

Remember the Cockers masks at the start of last season? I'd like to see "SHHH!" Cards on every seat at the next home game.

Re: Booing the last kick.
the man that wrote that sentence should be sacked for over indulging in hyperbole... what a ridiculous commentAbove all there is usually respectful silence for opposition kickers but some Leicester supporters let themselves down with behaviour that would have been frowned on at the nearby football ground.
Re: Booing the last kick.
The Booing of the last kick was both wrong & disgraceful, whatever beef the fans had with the ref and their frustration at Tigers performance., the booing was something that needs nipping in the bud. What saddened me was that the booing seemed to emanate from the Crumbie, a stand which I used to populate before I bought my season ticket. It was uncrumbie like and against all the traditions of fair play that as a Tigers fan of longstanding, I have been very proud of. STOP IT NOW!
Re: Booing the last kick.
I am a semi regular poster on the forum, I am 72 yrs old, been a supporter since school days starting in 1953. I have to hold up my hands and say that i was one of very many on the Crumbie that booed the ref on Saturday.
It is the first time in my life that I have ever been drawn to show my disapproval in that way, no bad language.
I am basically embarrassed to admit this, it is not the way I have been brought up, I am sorry but the ref got to me, we have suffered some bad decisions over the many years but Mr Garner just seemed to hand the game to Irish. Standing watching from the Crumbie my views were supported most strongly by our coachs on the touch line, some of the decisions, or more correctly the blind eyes of ref and touch judges appeared to me incredulous.
I know my actions were not correct, I think the booing was extenuated by the announcer's request to stop, but I knew of no other way at that moment in time how I could show my annoyance with Mr Garner and his assistants.
I hope this is the end of the matter and others who joined in will desist like me in future, i dont intend to repeat it for a second time in my life and my love of rugby and Tigers.
