Civil War at Quins. STAND your ground all. I like an
atmosphere. Place was very quiet at times yesterday.

I think there were a number of reasons why the South Stand was
particularly vocal, firstly the blocking run unfolded in a
straight line in front of us and we could clearly see the intent
and it came on the back of aouple of earlier breakdown
situations where Bath were clearly entering from the side but
invisible to the officials. Also there were two groups of Bath
supporters who got to their feet and started winding up the
Quins supporters nearby. Both groups were in their early 30s. As
far as I could make out it ended there.

is important here as he is running in support rather than
running to try and gain possession.

Ben Kay said on Twitter that he’s actually not sure either way
that he got it right or wrong on Twitter, had the Bath player
not constantly looked over his shoulder to make sure he was
blocking then there would have been no problem.
Law 9.3 A player must not intentionally prevent a player from
tackling or attempting to tackle an opposition player
Didn’t hear any abuse of fans and if there was it’s out of
order.

To avoid confusion, I'm all for noise. The start of the game was
as good as I can remember. Lasted up until we lost the lead.
Then it became boorish, abusive and pretty much totally
negative.

Where was the abuse and directed at whom?
Abuse clearly unacceptable.
Booing that decision at that time in the game when the Bath
player so blatantly checked over his shoulder and body checked
the chasing runner twice and took two further changes of
direction. Perfectly acceptable.
We sit in the West stand and could see it clearly in play.

So the TMO was the one influenced by the ill mannered boo-ing?

The hilarious and tremendously entertaining booing you mean.
It was great - and should be applauded.
The “rugby is better than football” made up morality is one of
the reasons it’s not expanding faster. Classist horse poop and
patently not true - especially since we are best remembered for
an episode of blatant cheating.

Yeah... sorry Cookie, think you've got the wrong viewing of this
one. Totally agree with not abusing opposing fans, if that
happened, but booing a really bad call is a) part of the
atmosphere of live team sport in most cases, b) common across
the globe, and c) something that actually gets people more
involved.
I remember how much we booed during That Set Of Scrums Against
Leicester With Wayne Barnes Reffing(tm) and yeah I'd defend
anyone's right to boo that. And that's from someone who usually
sees the referee's point of view and happily disagrees with
fellow fans on decisions.

It was the fans that made the TMO review the try. We walked away
with a LBP because of the boos from the fans. No wonder the team
applauded the fans that made the noise to get the TMO to review
the try.
Loved it when the stadium announcer asked the fans to “respect
the kicker” words like... wind and p’ss came to mind.
