I wouldn't for one moment let it spoil my day which is why I never suggested it would. |

All clubs have unpleasant posters to some degree (you only need to scan these boards to confirm that).
I wouldn't let it spoil your day though.

Yes you are probably right Rob. Just a small number of unpleasant posters doing their club no good. Pity some of the others don't make that point to them.

I thought I'd throw my sixpence in here, for what it's worth. I've been to a number of Amp-Cov games and the Cov fans have been great (regardless of the result) - knowledgeable, passionate and vocal, exactly what you want! We're always sure of a good atmosphere when Cov come to visit. A couple of disgruntled posters on their forum shouldn't detract from what is a great club.

Perhaps he was trying to shake his foot / leg loose from the person holding onto his leg trying to collapse the maul and in shaking it loose a stamp inadvertently occurred (1m 36-1m 40). I say "perhaps" as I am not convinced by that either but......

Yes I spotted the unnecessary "stamp" . .. common in the old days but not acceptable now, despite it not causing any injury, I hope there is a citing.

Just watched the Blues version https://youtu.be/EYxZndKQd5k as hadn’t seen yours. Jersey’s 1st was good but must’ve tired themselves out. Wonder if Jersey 4 will be in trouble for his unnecessary use of the foot 1m 41 on Blues 6.

I should add that I've thoroughly enjoyed mixing with Cov fans, particularly when they came over to Jersey en masse for final game of 18/19 season, their first back at this level. Even tho' they spanked us...
Meanwhile, I note that Bedford won try of the week for their opening effort by Pat Tapley last Saturday. Rightly so IMHO. If anyone's in doubt about the danger posed by Blues back three, and the risks inherent in kicking the ball to them so they have space to operate in, they should check it out...

I think you have nailed it perfectly. Well done. And my opinion of the overwhelming Coventry fans is one of total respect. They support their club hard. And I wish Ampthill had as many supporters. One day perhaps. |

'Number' of posters - or just one or two who post regularly? I think the overall viewpoint from Cov fans was that they were poor for much of the game against what was a limited but effective game plan from Ampthill. More frustration at their own team than critical of Ampthill. Some people, though, should perhaps leave it a day or two before posting their reactions...

Indeed. There seem to be a number posters there regularly intent on portraying themselves in a very poor light.

Attended the Amp v Cov match. Cracking game . Cov lineout and discipline in first half were really poor and punished by excellent Amp goalkicker. In second half Cov looked much better and dangerous, but the Ampthill work in defence was tremendous. Cov had 2 other clear chances to score tries that they messed up which would have been enough to win the match,but for the effort Ampthill showed they deserved their win. Found the club and ground very welcoming.

Don’t forget we have had a period of no forwards coach, which doesn’t help. Especially when you look at the pack - only 2 starters were there last year, a prop and flanker.
Onojaife is also important player for Blues stealing and disrupting lineouts off the opposition who was missing.

Most rolling maul tries come from penalty kicks to the corner . Maybe Bedford should look to cut down their penalty count in their half.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

As a Blues fan who seems to see his side regularly beaten by Ampthill I would say Paul Turner does a fantastic job with the players available to him.

The travelling fans at Ampthill were lovely from what I could see, there were loads of them, they were pretty vocal and took defeat in good part. But these will be the hard core of Covid fans and so probably big rugby fans in general.
