Ajax Treesdown Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Looks like Tigers will be appointing someone else!!! Meyer Best Wishes to HM.
Sparky Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 What a game today , how Tigers won that ill never know . Bath were awesome to watch but so naive at the death
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Was a fantastic game. Hard to pick between watching that and Villa! I made the right choice, I think, but had to hop between the two haha. I was willing Hougaard on from the edge of my seat as he broke at the death, fantastic fun. Would like to see Meyer stay, though. He's a bit of a refreshing change of character at Welford Road.

Finnegan Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 i wasnt , i had a fiver on Tigers to win by 1-5 points Haha. What was the payout?
Sparky Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Haha. What was the payout? £32.50 Had a fiver on Croft 1st try at 25/1 which was decent odds , just a shame he got the 3rd and 4th !!
Hullfox Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Bath's try in the second half was top drawer stuff but what a determined come back.
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Aye was just saying that with Sparky. Quality score. Makes me miss watching Jaco at Welford Road. Why Japan, WHY!?
Uncle Albert Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Tigers were really poor first half. Worst I have seen for a while. During the first half did anyone else see the fact come up where it said Tigers have conceded 41 penalties for handling in the ruck this season. That's mental. Hipkiss had a good game today and links with Mauger really well now. Don't know why Flood was rested to be honest and we missed him today.

Hipkiss had a good game today and links with Mauger really well now. Don't know why Flood was rested to be honest and we missed him today. Think it's down to the international agreement. All of the elite England players have to rested for 1 or 2 games over the winter break. (Or something like that). I still think this is one of the problems which continues to make Rugby an amateur game. So much that football could learn from, yet they carry on with Premiership games whilst internationals are on, whilst also making teams rest players during international breaks.

Flood's mistakes helped cost Tigers a win at Harlequins last week. The rest may do him some good, especially with a tricky European game at Ospreys looming.
Finchy Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Seru Rabeni changed the game Thought they showed great character today to keep on going. I thought we were out of it when Bath got the amazing try, but Tigers have done things like this so many times in the past, I don't know why i'm surprised. Tigers sticky thread?
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Tigers sticky thread? There's been any number of rugby threads floating around and they never really get enough interest.
Finchy Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 There's been any number of rugby threads floating around and they never really get enough interest. Fair enough, shame really, it's a great sport and we have a club to be proud of in this city
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 Fair enough, shame really, it's a great sport and we have a club to be proud of in this city Agreed. It's probably partly my gloating in every thread that turns people off. But there's a strange amount of disdain from City fans towards the Tigers and a lot of people who actively dislike the egg chasing on here.

I love going to watch the Rugby, its a different type of buzz. I think you are far more relaxed aswell because there is no trouble at Rugby games and fans can be trusted to sit with each other. I went to the Millennium last year to watch Tigers v Wasps and Bath v Scarletts and if you bought a ticket you got to stay there for the whole day and watch both matches, so all four set's of fans were together. That could never happen at the football. Going Twickenham with Tigers fans is brilliant aswell when we went in May we left at 9 from the Woody's in Rothley and we were drinking all travelling down there and back. It's just alot more relaxing than football. But it Rugby just doesnt give me the same buzz as Football.

If England rugby or Tigers lose then im pissed off , If City or England football lose then im devestated . Saying that i watched both rugby matches today rather than the 2 FA Cup ties

Yea im am upset when Tiger's lose and really upset when they lose in semi's and Finals but if City lose then I am mortified for abit. Just when im at Welford Road it wont give me the same buzz of feeling as when im in the Walkers.
Finnegan Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Hmm. I'm a mixed bag. International rugby comes first and foremost, a bad six nations = a bad year for Finners. But I probably put City before Wales football and Scarlets rugby if I'm honest; maybe not as an active decision but simply what bothers me more. I get far more joy out of international rugby, too. A good rugby game is the most exciting sporting event, in my opinion. Though admitedly, a bad football game is usually more watchable than a bad rugby game.
The Blur Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Sorry to be naive about the rugby I follow Tigers quite a bit but can someone explain why Meyer's job is insecure? Tigers not being at the top of the table or something?

Not sure about naive, perhaps blind or lazy have you tried reading the first post of this thread and the link in there
