I must admit I do have to chuckle about Leicester fans complaining about a ref favouring a side

All fans do it, some of just admit it more than others 

I know. Its just nice for us to get the rub for a change.

Harris Should have passed there

Camacho is having a stinker. Bryant to 12 to help Burns control the game, Tait to wing and Smith to 13 is needed.

Should just get logo Pearce Thacker and Kitto on now.

Oh Andy....bad miss!

Falcons playing ref far better than tigers

Good stuff boys

Tigers first up tacking has been truly awful, what's going on??

Not sure, it was like it last week too.

Better.

I don't think Andy is doing much conditioning work ha ha.

Another bought penalty, hate it from any 9

Dunno Sgt we've been absolutely shocking tonight.

Frustrating to hear Garner tell Falcons to stop appealing and stop the gamesmanship only to keep giving them the penalties for it. His decisions are woefully inconsistent as well. That Balmain call is a prime example.

I've no issue with that tbh, clever play

I'm sorry, but that's a completely different call from the first half.

It annoys the hell out me, it isn't in the spirit of the game.

Having said that, I think tigers should be complaining more to the ref

OOOh Vityal mistake by Leicester after some great work!

For a nine it's par for the course. Lawson the Falcons hooker should be ashamed of himself. His screaming at the ref doesn't belong in this sport.

Falcons still far the better team. Leicester showing signs of recovery now some of the younger, hungrier players are on.

If you weren't on the wrong side the scrum half wouldn't be able to it though Nathan. Nobody else to blame really.

That incident I don't mind so much, but let's be honest we all know he threw it there for a reason. The earlier one where he actually threw it forward so it hit Ayerza annoyed me.

Tigers coming right back in to this now...concerning

Tigers need to play for territory a lot more

Yes....knock on

Oh feking hellllllll

Tackle in the air?

Tackling the man in the air. Should have been a penalty and yellow card for the tackle on Croft.

Ah that's Harsh

He jumped straight into Powell!!!

Well what else would he do??

Three Falcons players right round the side. After disgraceful berating off the ref from the Falcons players. I hope the RFU take a look at that.

Coming around the side both 4 and 6

Not do it?

Oh baby.
Just got home and turned this on. Shocking score. Looked like Leicester was about to score. Is this the way the game has gone so far?

Ref is Poopie, for both sides. Apparently shouting at the ref wins you games

A 6'7 guy landing right on top of you...and you wouldn't have your arms out?

With a shoulder in the tackle position. No, no I wouldnt

Garner is a sub-optimal referee.
Newcastle will lose if they keep giving the ball back to Tigers. Playing not to lose is a recipe for failure against Leicester.

Dammit

Ah come on lads...we cant give this one away aswell!!!

Very much so, but Falcons deserve there lead

McGuigan on his way to Leicester next season???? That sounded like a done deal! Very unhappy

Commentators have a habit of making rumours sound true.

Well that ran down a bit of time

Arrgghhhh man!!!

We have no hope of beating quins at the moment

I can tigers taking this one
