We are keeping it tight, due to the weather conditions. Better for us than the 'playing with abandon' style in recent weeks.

Pretty happy with that half, and with the Scarlets pack starting to look tired it could be a good 2nd half for us.

Scarlets try ruled out for a knock on after a blocked Jackson kick, try from Stockdale and Ulster lead 13-6 at HT

Well if Marius Matrea reffed the game properly then there would not be any issues. Saying that, Ulster are playing the conditions better, but Ulster have not stopped cheating in the scrum and breakdowns.

Cheers marty, hope you guys see it through thumbsup

Looks like Leinster are going great guns as well.

Nothing really. Just the Scarlets fans booing because he didn't award some fictional Ulster infringement angel

We were in their 22 and getting closer to their Try-line. Think that made them a bit edgy.

Scarlets are the ones coming in from the side and driving well beyond the ruck trying to open spaces to break through

It was for a glaringly obvious forward pass.

Matrea is a renowned homer. He's reffing the game fairly well, with no controversial decisions so far.

When was this?

Are the Ulster fans booing again? Shocked

Scarlets

by marty2086 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:35 pm

And chanting during a kick, which is pretty classless

by eirebilly Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:36 pm

Don't care who it is booing, don't like it at all and has no place in rugby.

Maybe... theres probably more of them there than Scarlets fans

Matrea calls 'one stop' way too quickly.

It doesnt really matter he never penalises anyone who he then tells to use the ball and doesnt

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:46 pm

Marshall

by marty2086 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:47 pm

More dodgy decisions for Ulster, Best holding onto the ball that was 3 feet away Rolling Eyes

Mitre is a 'leveller' that penalty was nonsense

by toml Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:01 pm

absolutely farcical

by marty2086 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:02 pm

Not accidental? picard

Exactly. Double standards.

by LordDowlais Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:03 pm

Tough call there for Ulster. Although I think Trimble is lucky for his trailing arm.

by toml Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:03 pm

he will probably level the numbers here

by toml Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:04 pm

hahahahaha

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:04 pm

It looks a fair tackle. This is getting stupid.

by LordDowlais Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:05 pm

Matria is losing the plot here.

Two pathetic decisions on the bounce.

by Pete330v2 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:06 pm

Utter BS by the officials. Try saving tackle every time. Scarlets get handed 7 points for nothing.
Another yellow to Scarlets now for nothing. However we don't get 7 points awarded. Farcical doesn't even go there.

My issue with both tackles is that its over the shoulder which while high isnt dangerous so its just getting stupid

by toml Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:06 pm

lets be honest those two tackles were the same, only Ulster lost an extra 5 points. Mitrea has had a few herbs at half time

by offload Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:07 pm

I'm a neutral watching this. The game has become a farce if that is called a penalty try. Absolutely absurd.

Same for Jake Ball - ridiculous..

by eirebilly Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:07 pm

Are ye lads witnessing this new tackle law here?

No we're witnessing it being messed

Looked knocked-on to me...

Scarlets have been impeding the Ulster 9 all night. Ref just watches

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:25 pm

Well, a one point loss.

Congrats, Scarlets clap

by Pete330v2 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:25 pm

Better performance from Ulster but absolutely robbed by that penalty try. Not good enough by Mitrea, brainless decision

by Cyril Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:26 pm

Well done Scarlets! Deserved win.

by marty2086 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:27 pm

With this change is that situation exactly why it wont work? If you stay low and head down no one can tackle you

Can you ever just lose in a gracious manner? Shocked

by LordDowlais Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:28 pm

Mitrea had a mare. But Scarlets were the better side in the second half. The fact Uslter failed to score a single point in the second half, or really threaten the Scarlets try line is not down to the ref.

It was a tail of two halfs, Ulster played the weather better in the first half, Scarlets played it better in the 2nd. Also who was saying Mitrea was the most improved ref this year on my referee thread ?

by eirebilly Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:30 pm

Well done Scarlet's clap

This is not good for Ulster, this really leaves them in a difficult position. I honestly cannot see them finishing in the Top 4 from here.

by True Raven Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:31 pm

Does any TMO have a backbone and disagree with the ref. All they do is just agree with the ref no matter how stupid the decision is i.e. Tonight twice, Ospreys vs Edinburgh

Only when you're so one-eyed in your comments. Nothing personal.

Ulster fans in 'ref lost it for us' shocker
