[General Melchett]

On a side note B*th asking me to spend £80 to stand in open terrace or £70 to sit in the corner of an exposed temporary stand with awful view and accompanying gusting whiff of chemical toilets is outrageous. I'd love to have gone but cannot justify those prices. Suppose it's one way to ensure travelling support is kept to a minimum at the wreck.

That feeling of dissatisfaction can only increase when the penny drops that you're also helping fund Messi's £1m salary. Imagine thinking about that whilst inhaling the chemical toilet smell and then witnessing him nail a worldy of a cross field kick as Bath run in their first try. That's a highly effective deterrent to keep the away support to a minimum.

Hopefully our first win of the season, it has to come at some point.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Great start

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Smith isn't a fullback, shock

 

[Jimbo]

That was a quality tackle, Freeman is so well rounded.

 

[TommiG88]

This is Quins to lose currently. Too many mistakes from Saints with Quins controlling the field position

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

This is Quins to lose currently. Too many mistakes from Saints with Quins controlling the field position

We manage to lose games like this quite consistently.

We'll find a way

 

[TRF_Olyy]

McIntyre taking Fasogbon to the cleaners at scrumtime

 

[TommiG88]

Saints are infuriating me. Giving constant reasons to get on wrong side of the ref

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'll take a 6pt lead at half time


Gloucester are fun to watch but they're so erratic - can break a defence down with their spontaneity but half the time it looks like all the players are singing from completely different hymn sheets

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Austin just absolutely loves calling penalties every 3 seconds doesn't he

 

[Which Tyler]

Does he regather that?

 

[Jimbo]

Does he regather that?

Yes but on the floor probably a pen by letter of the law.

 

[Which Tyler]

Hugely forward (Marcus to WEvans) way back in Quins half

 

[TRF_Olyy]

5pts secured, huge considering we were 13(?) players down

Disappointing to let Gloucester get 2 BPs but oh well, the win is more important than worrying about that

Reed's track back tackle on Atkinson's 80m intercept was crazy

 

[BPM]

Quins gonna Quin (shrug). 2pts isn't the worst return I guess.

 

[The Seeker]

Final - Sale 31 Gloucester 27

 

[West Country Wail]

5pts secured, huge considering we were 13(?) players down

Disappointing to let Gloucester get 2 BPs but oh well, the win is more important than worrying about that

Reed's track back tackle on Atkinson's 80m intercept was crazy

And the the follow up. Unbelievable
