Gloucester v Bristol
Watching, as a neutral, an entertaining first half but could someone's explain, if possible, why when after numerous penalties and warning that action will be taken next penalty is given and no action is taken. This seems to happen all the time no matter who Sir is. Do they forget what they have said or just bottle it?
Re: Gloucester v Bristol
I'm getting bored of the love for Cipriani though. They've found a pass that we see most weeks and lauded it. I can't be doing with that every week!

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Unsure what the wording was first time but the ref seemed to infer that the it was a specific warning first time and then a general team warning second time.
Bristol crumbled when down to 14 and are fading now as their pack looks exhausted after running the ball from stupid positions all first half.

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Thanks Sam missed first comment made Sir so maybe reading into it something that was not there this time
Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Blimey! I thought some Tigers fans would like how Bristol play! The amount of times I hear groans when we kick the ball from our 22, I thought the way Bristol play would be applauded by people on here.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:23 pm Unsure what the wording was first time but the ref seemed to infer that the it was a specific warning first time and then a general team warning second time.

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Yeah I'm not one of those that bemoan every kick from our halfbacks. Pragmatism in your own half is fine, experiment in the opponents.ellis9 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:29 pmBlimey!

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
The way Bristol play is to be applauded to a degree but unless they learn a more pragmatic approach from inside their own half it is going to be a very long season and they will back down into the Championship.
Their pack just isn’t good enough with no where near enough depth

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Absolutely agree.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Gloucester will finish top 6 but won't be in the play off final.
Bristol will be near the bottom but do have a shot at survival.

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
It's not the kicking per se. As you rightly say there are times when it's best to kick. It's the quality of the kicking which has often been aimless or straight to opposition runners combined with a lack of chase. Some of the box kicking is very poor also. That's what we bemoan.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:40 pmYeah I'm not one of those that bemoan every kick from our halfbacks.

Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
Re: Gloucester v Bristol
Not for some. The second the ball is kicked I hear people groaning before they've even seen where the ball ends up!voice of the crumbie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 10:43 pmIt's not the kicking per se.

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
The fawning over Cips is just boring. Made at least 4 mistakes in the first half and not a squeak from the commentators. He was better 2nd half and did what any good fly half would do and they started gushing. Austin being the worst - bore off.
As for running out of your 22 - there is a time and a place eg when you clearly see an opportunity from a turnover or as happened last week midway through the 2nd half when we realised that every time we gave the Falcons the ball they were dangerous in attack. BY (who was at best average last week) was then took off and we resorted to terrible kicking from hand in the last quarter. Morale of the story being kick well all is good - kick badly then best to mix it up to exit your 22.

Re: Gloucester v Bristol
On a side note, I thought Foley's officiating was very poor this evening. Some bizarre decisions tonight.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play
Re: Gloucester v Bristol
i thought Gloucester's defensive line/organisation was 1st class - a few lessons we could learn there .

It’s been like that for a while really.
