The 'mighty Quin' seems to always coincide with us losing our own ball! It's more of a curse than a rally cry.

Mighty Quins seems to be played when the crowd are actually chanting, timing just seems wrong

The surname thing is badly timed would work if they waited till most people are in the stands yesterday they were empty.

Definitely agree on the timing of the mighty Quin. It always used to be done as the line out or scrum was being set so you got through a bit of it before Quins could knock it on but yesterday it was done after the line out had been thrown and we knocked on straight away

I suspect the same person who decided to call the subs “ Game changers”

It was Paul G’s idea to call the subs “Game changers” so are you calling him a numpty SiB?

Was it really?
Yep it’s a stupid term don’t like it at all don’t care who came up with the term, there’s nothing wrong with subs

And where’s the proof who came up with the name please?

Does it matter? Gustard says he doesn’t give a stuff what people think of it - so can’t imagine it changing.

Sorry I’m just asking for clarification if Gustard came up with the name.

And to say does it matter, you may have a point, maybe it won’t make any difference
That being said talking about a game, or a refs decision won’t chnge it either, so do we only discuss topics that can be changed now on this forum?

Yes - quoted in several news articles with quotes from PG.

Not fussed about 'Game Changer' thought it was a bit naff at first, but it doesn't bother me.
Not announcing Surnames, isn't working.

Blimey

No I mean, pretty clearly, that while I also think it is utterly ludicrous, it seems to originate with Gustard since he’s been so definite in the media that anyone who doesn’t like it can take a running jump.
