Last time I checked, I am entitled to an opinion...as you are.

You do, but, stating that that people who don't think Gustard is
right for the club are demented idiots frankly is a slur, you
are say that anyone who thinks the is by definition ' unable to
think or act clearly' who are you to judge others mental health
or ability to think!?

TBH, the minute we lose, I expect to see a post from Bampotbill
putting the boot in. I generally try not to react, but I think
Twickersman’s post was a sign of frustration at the typical
reactionary posts we see every time the result doesn’t go our
way.
If you choose to take that personally when it’s not even in
reaction to one of your posts, that’s more your problem than his
...

Ah the old 'i can post anything I like and if you take offense
it's your problem' defence.
I can post that way on here no problems, bet quite a few of you
aren't going to like it though.............

Not exactly. It wasn’t my post you took offence to.
It wasn’t ‘off topic’ though considering that the thread was
started by Bampotbill who has a particular penchant for
negativity.

I will criticise when it is justified. For example Care
deliberately running across to obstruct when there was cover ..
marler(who may yet get cited) no arm smash .. these are
unnecessary fouls which going right back to Ace Tiatia are
seemingly entrained in our game plan

Look, those words, are, as mentioned, borne out of frustration
by fans of the club like you constantly being negative. My
opinion is that Gustard is doing an okay job and that the squad
will take 4 or 5 years to turn into something special. Look at
Sarries (Okay the cheated), Exter, Manchester United with Alex
Ferguson, we need to get behind the guy and support him.
If you take offense, I am sorry. I Should have worded it
better....so I take those words back...instead...I would rather
say 'Overractionary bleating of the supporters who seem to not
have the best interest of the club at heart. They would rather
see another cycle of change to come in before this one is even
beginning to motor'.

One of the problems seems to be that many of these mindless
penalties are being given away by players who are in our
leadership group - for example Care deciding to blatantly block
a player when all he had to do was run alongside and bundle him
into touch if and when he managed to catch the ball in the air
and captain Dombrandt ludicrously taking out a player which was
always going to result in at least a yellow card.
It's utterly brainless week after week and it's not giving us a
hard edge - it's giving the opposition a massive advantage.

Yep. When the pressure comes on numerous players will always
make some pathetic choices and ruin it for everyone, and it's
odd that it seems to always be the more senior players.

I think that the Evans yellow card/penalty try was just
one-of-those-things. Not sure it was overly brainless. I am
not even sure that he did it on purpose.
But, clearly a penalty. But, it was a bit of a shame that we
got the double punishment.
I do think though that the Care penalty was possibly a bit
harsh. A different ref on a different day may have seen it
differently.
The reason I think it was harsh was that in my view, the ball
was actually in touch. The Munster player was trying to stay in
the field of play and get the ball. Therefore, they were always
going to come into contact.
What we did wrong though is that we didn't take advantage of the
situation when they had a yellow card.
