There were about 4 or 5 spotty chavs behind me, complained about everything including the ale they shouldn't have been supping.

One in particular never stopped talking once through the game, one of those who likes the sound of his own voice, in fact the only time he managed to shut up was for the minute's silence. Talk about clueless, after 25 mins he was going on about how Rau had managed to play so long until one of his more observant mates told him he came on a few minutes ago. The usual Clarke baiting before the game and before he came on and of course, a good round of boos at half time.

Honestly, Uzi's and a 100 round clip (although I doubt that's enough) should be allowed in to one match of your choice.

I couldn't get to the game yesterday but it does frustrate me so much when moons boo, it's beyond belief that our players go out to get beat. Just think, how are you feeling now about the defeat? Tripple it and add the pain of the lumps & bumps that go with playing added to the thought that your back out again in just over 48 hours time to be booo'd by a bunch of disrepectful mooks.
What a great advert they are to get players to want to play for us!!!!!!

I'm still a little unsure how we lost. Our completion was quite high considering the weather, I was hoping Monaghan would step up and dictate play/up the tempo to push us away, but we kept playing it tight. Maybe we were playing to a tight set of instructions, who knows?

My thoughts exactly. Just felt we lacked a play maker yesterday.

The only time we moved the ball quickly was when we scored late on. It wasn't the weather to do it, but we cut them up quite eassily when we did. We not only lack pace on foot, yesterday we lacked pace with the ball in our hands.

It seemed to go down hill when Bridge stupidly gave the penalty away when we had possession in a good position. I think they scored of the back of that as well to get them level.

Who would you apply that to on yesterday's performance?

Not under Smith, if he can he will remove them, as we have seen. Success is a journey Not a destination

Did make me wonder late on, why haven't we been throwing it around like that before? Its clear that when we NEED to play, we can score at will, how many last minute tries have we scored this year already? I think its Smiths tactics. Like he said, lets get the defence and structure right, then we'll start looking at getting a bit flashy. Overall, there wasn't a lot wrong yesterday, defence was much improved. I beleive TS is putting the right structures in place that will benefit us in the future, and in him, i have total faith.

I was at the match yesterday, and I couldn't understand what the booing was all about. We even got it at half time.
The forwards were mainly good, and were let down at the last by the backs. You make all that ground, only to be running back to defend through some stupidly pointless kick or dropped ball.
This is a team low on confidence and doesn't need you boo boys. One playmaker and kicker would have seen us run out easy winners.
Guy behind me was apoplectic and I was convinced he was going to have a heart attack at the end. His language was appalling, although we did laugh when he called John Clarke "a bag of w**k", whatever that is.
