Scottish Fans Not Respecting The Kicker

[Deskdiary]

Irrespective of who the opposition is, you can hear a pin drop in Twickenham when there's a penalty kick or conversion.

Why doesn't Murrayfield have the same respect for the opposition?

Blimey, somebody else besides me is watching it!!

Does that happen anywhere else except Murrayfield DD?

[Peter Pedant]

because they are scots?

[shoota]

Scrappy game in difficult circumstances.
England need to remove a digit or five.

Ladybirder - I’m a season ticket holder at Saracens and it does happen there. Been to The Stoop countless times and it doesn’t happen there, it wasn’t happening at the Ireland/Wales game...I don’t recall it really happening anywhere else either. Even the Scottish commentator commented that it’s sad that it happens at Murrayfield.

[shoota]

Phew!

[ladybirder]

Seems like PP's correct.

[Deskdiary]

I meant to say it does NOT happen at Saracens.

[ichkeria]

In conditions like that, “not respecting the kicker” is irrelevant.
Well done England. The better team won.

[ichkeria]

You can’t really compare that with games against Saracens.
And I’m not sure Saracens just now are in any position to take any sort of moral high ground

[johnny.5]

it's not saracens it's their fans do not blame their fans

[ichkeria]

Sorry but the whole Saracens thing is a disgrace

[ichkeria]

It isn’t only Saracens fans who respect the kicker

[johnny.5]

yes from what I know about it , it is a disgrace and I won't be surprised if wasps get into more trouble over financial happenings but it is normally the fans which have to suffer be it Rugby Football Or Association

[ladybirder]

DD @ 18.37 - I thought that was what you meant to say.
I meant to say 'she' in my post before this, not 'he':-(

[Deskdiary]

It speaks volumes to me that Saracens chose to be relegated rather than open their books - something stinks, and as a lifelong fan I find it very sad...but that’s not the fault of the fans Ich.

[ToraToraTora]

a sad development, I have been to Murrayfield several times, the last time in 2008 and you could hear a pin drop when either kicker was working. At twickers I've been known to admonish anyone near me for not keeping schtum.

[douglas9401]

Respect the kicker while casting aspersions on a nation. Right you are.

[emmie]

i know i thought that was quite wrong of them...

[albaqwerty]

the banned football fans have got to go somewhere.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
Those who know whodunnit it should have a not-so-quiet word with them.

Rugby has a reputation of fairness and dignity and to see it tarnished is disgusting.

[aelmpvw]

yes, they should show respect but waiting for Farrell to take a kick is like waiting for ebdon to pot a ball ...
