Toulon Post Match

[Big Dai]

Dai My eighteen year old fly half just exploded at the telly!

Better that than your fly.

He wishes, after all that Remy

What Remy...................never touched a drop............Honest!

[G.K]

Really?

REMY TIME..............Well played lads!

Knackered! Totally :censored: stressed out! I've helped Dan Tom and Marcos by shoving the settee round the room!

BRILLIANT!

It's a terrible outburst, from someone who has just been schooled in the scrum, and is probably needing to vent. .

Schooled?? Castrito had his bottom spanked, as did the (once) mighty Heyman.

Spoiled great memories for me, Castro is much diminished by his outburst.

Fantastic performance!

Well done all involved enjoy a couple of cold ones this evening you deserve it.

Just got home and read the posts. What a game, we took it to Toulon and beat them at their own game. I think we were all up for it tonight and this I think is the turning point of our season. There was commitment from 1-15, the crowd was noisy and what a result.

Tigers are back!

[quote="LE18"]Why did so many Toulon players just leave the pitch after the final whistle instead of doing the usual sporting tunnel, clapping the oppsition off the field etc, well done to the half dozen or so who showed courtesy to their opponents.

Why Oh Why did the Toulon players avoid the "Tunnel of Flags" as they entered the pitch by diving through the gaps.
This is neither respectful or sporting and I feel sorry for the young flag marshals whose big day will be spoilt.
Fortunately I believe ALL Tigers went through the Tunnel of Flags.
Money does not buy Sportsmanship.

I have to say that, having read this thread and then the Daily Mail article, aside from the fruity language and RC it really wasn't that bad.

He obviously has some gripes, no doubt made worse by just having lost a match against a team he would have loved to beat, but reading down the article there was a lot of love for Tigers.

More from Castro. Shame.

For those of us who do not remember the sequence of events, IIRC, he didn't like sharing the starting spot with Cole and became vocal on the subject. Toulon approached him, offered a contract and Castro essentially burnt his bridges at Leicester and publicly stated that he was leaving. However, Toulon had not actually signed anything yet to get him released, realised that they wouldn't have to, appeared to go cool on the deal, and left Castro to pick up the tab for his contract at Tigers. Castro then had no choice but to dip into his own pockets so he could go to Toulon, where he still wouldn't be first choice but at least he would be paid more..

Bit of a dirty trick (or good financial management) from Toulon, but poor judgement on Castro's part which left him looking foolish. Looks like more of the same last night.

A great shame about Castro - maybe he will live to regret the forum his did this in. I would have had no problems if he wanted to tell RC to his face in private what he thought but to do it in these terms, in public, is wrong and the authorities will look at this I am sure. If RC had done the same (or has he not not very long ago?) he would be up in front of the beak and the same should apply to Martin.

I am just as concerned about the "rumours" regarding what Armitage said to some of our fans. Those fans and people around them need them to come forward and tell Tigers staff what happened. We have children standing at the front of the terrace and they need to see the game played in the right way by all players from whatever club they come from.

Back to the game - BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!!!!

[Soggypitch]

Yes a truly Tigerish performance! All the forwards with the exception of Crane (IMO) were excellent. Williams and YBY likewise, the remainder of the backs did a good defensive job, but we are still lacking a cutting edge which I think will come as the confidence in the team increases.

Well played, shame about Castro, wrong time, wrong place etc....!!

I blame it on too much foreign food!!

Castro disgraced himself. I've lost virtually all of the respect I used to have for him now. After the warm welcome he got when his name was read out too.

He's completely in the wrong too. It seemed his gripes were always:

1. Annoyed he wasn't playing. (Cole was the better player in the end. That's life)
2. Annoyed he wasn't allowed to leave for free (he was under contract. Why should he be allowed to? It would have left us light on tightheads and without the funds to sign one ourselves)

Frankly I hope he doesn't get banned though. Simply as Ayerza man shamed him last night and I'd like to see more of the same, and his presence on the team sheet would be the team talk done.

[floridaboy]

Gossip on twitter that Castro might have stepped over the mark, invading a press conference and swearing at Cockers.

Yes he stated that RC was not a nice gentleman and he never wants to talk to him again !!!!!!!

[floridaboy]

According to some people in the Crumbie Delon Armitage called some fans f#cking inbred c###'s. That should get him a suspension surely, aswell as his brother for a punch on Cole. Classless outfit really. Although that's to be expected when you're club is only built on money.

I'm afraid that did happen and I was told there was a post match discussion between French, Tigers and RFU types in the offices ! Lets see what happens eh !
