The Bristol boys owe Carley and Kitt a few drinks after they dug them out of that one!

I pay hard earned money for this officiating. I'm an absolute mug.

Disagree, how many teams in the prem would kick the ball away from there? Regardless of the scoreline

Are you seriously telling me that Tigers were 19-0 up with 15 minutes left and lost?
That's an absolute disgrace.

They believed and we do not seem to. Whatever was done a Brumbies l it does not appear the dressing room believe it this year at least.

Same every single week. I'm rapidly falling out of rugby, genuinely

I don’t like to criticise our team/players but we lost a game where the opponents only scored their first points in the 69th minute and to kick possession away with 2ish minutes on the clock to opponents with a potent attack and a man advantage was just insanity. As I leave the stadium many Tigers fans saying the same thing.

where the :censored: is Ben Youngs?

If McKeller doesn't go scorched earth on the officials performance I will lose respect for him, they have given this game to Bristol

Let’s not forget Newcastle away. Same player. Same time. Same tactic.

And the refs are the refs. We as a team lost that game because we let 20+ points slide in the first half, we looked spent in the second and because whitely kicked the ball away.

You cannot lose if you have the ball. End of.

That's an absolute disgrace.
The subs were poor, but there were some bonkers decisions from the officials.

Carley is terrible. Annoyed me that he kept warning Bristol about backchat without ever actually doing a thing about it. What the touchie on the nearside was smoking, I don't know.

On a side note, Whiteley is absolute trash. Sorry, but he is.

I’m actually bored of blaming the officials for our results, at some point we have to look at ourselves.

We were 19-0 up with a few minutes to go and lost the game.

Replacement props are miles below the standard required, although our scrum has been poor all season.

All this talk of the top 4, we are nowhere near the standard required to win a semi, never mind a final.

It’s been a poor season. There will be no excuses for McKellar next season, needs to start delivering results for the best supported club in the prem

I think there's a fair few that would, time wasting for two minutes is very difficult nowadays because the refs will give a sealing off penalty at the first opportunity
