Disappointed
Evening all.
First time tonight I have been disappointed to be a tigers fan, and not because of the play on the pitch. Tonight on the crumbie the arrogant abusive shouting from certain members of the tigers crowd towards Saracens as a team, but in particular their fans was too much.
Rugby appeals as we are generally tolerant and friendly towards our rivals. Having travelled from the south coast for the game the behaviour of this individual really did take the edge of the evening.
I hope to not be in the proximity of this individual next time Sarries come to visit.

Re: Disappointed
I was also disappointed as I missed most of the last 5 mins as after Sarries scored their 4th try, may Tigers fans in the Cat stand started leaving.
I thought there was a fire drill!

Fortunately, those amongst us who are truly obnoxious are in the great minority. But, alas, they will always be with us, at least until we can repair their damaged brains before birth.Talltiger wrote:Evening all.

I could agree with you...but then we'd both be wrong.

Re: Disappointed
sadly, there are a very few brain dead Tigers fans.The kick off being late on a Saturday evening after an England game allows plenty of time to get tanked up.

Re: Disappointed
Completely agree, the abuse that Stevens got, (generally not about his weight!) went too far, Stevens did show a sense of humour with the odd smile but there was no need for the abuse he got.
It also sounds like the same person who has an agenda towards the officials as well, every game.
Boo's towards Sarries when they came out...where has that come from??
Absolutely disgraceful and for me embarrassing as we promote the respect for both teams.
I do wish this bloke would put a sock in it! may well bring one next week for him.

"Saracens are a plastic club that play on a plastic pitch"
The 'gem' that popped out a top volume in a lull in play about halfway down the Crumbie terrace in front of me last night. It did cause some embarrassed looks around and about.
Well, that plastic club just taught our boys a lesson in our back garden, on grass.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Re: Disappointed
It was definately the same voice i heard and keep hearing at every home game.
Truely embarrasing to hear such abuse to the guys on the field.

Re: Disappointed
If it is truly abusive, report it to a steward, or text to:
88010, beginning the message with the word TIGERS
Say what the problem is, and whereabouts.

Re: Disappointed
Whitecaptiger, we are talking about the same individual who happened to be about 3 feet to my left.
I was embarrassed to be there with my 65 year old father in law, who happens to be a Sarries fan.

Re: Disappointed
Admittedly I chuckled at some chants of boring boring sarries.... Sadly Saracens quickly responded to that one with 4 tries!
Saracens are irritating but the better team won and I do hope this abusive behaviour is in the minority!

Re: Disappointed
Why do you not point him out to the stewards and have him removed?
