Just back from a frustrating day at The Stoop. Our usual issues prevailed again, namely discipline and defence. It was as if nothing has changed. But that's another story.
My massive frustration is how the fans (and specifically the South Stand) are just descending into football-style boorish behaviour. Every decision the referee gave against us was harangued as if somehow we weren't guilty of anything (despite those of us with Ref Link hearing the ref repeatedly telling us not to do what we did). Clearly, they don't realise how many penalties we give away every week.
The crescendo was the ridiculous pantomime performance around the try that was overturned (incorrectly in my opinion) for Aled Brew's support running. Not sure if other stands were involved, but those around me seemingly wouldn't stop until the TMO was called upon. It was an ugly situation.
Some might say this is the fan's working for their team. I say it's a sad decline that is going to be difficult to reverse.
Add in booing, constant criticism of the referee (who I thought was fine) and abuse of the away fans and it's time to cough up more money to avoid the South Stand.
