There is a win here for the taking and we have been so poor with ball in hand

Going for three sums up our team. Haven't a hope. Better to go for two match points than four, because we can't execute a 5 yard lineout maul

Just back from the U20s match to discover my UPC box failed and I don't have the recording of this. Did I miss anything goid or should I just be grateful that it has spared me? Score was 9-6 when I got in so I am guessing I haven't missed a classic?

Between the lineout being a shambles, us committing 5 players to each ruck, Bosses slow delivery and our back line sitting so deep, it is a minor miracle we got anything from that match.

I think the first 5 line outs didn't go to plan. What do they do in training all week?

Anyway, 2 points is 1 more than most people were expecting

Tis what supporters generally do.

Great result away to the Ospreys. Haven't had a win or draw there since 2009.
Well done boys!
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

This match summed up everything that is wrong with us all season,
Kick ever time we get possession
Run into our own man when kick chasing
Take an age to kick a ball back from our 22 but then bring it out of the22 and line out is called back
Jimmy kicks across the pitch to Kearney and its goes at best level,.Hey that worked well let's do it next play!!!
Countless knock one and dropped passes
The telegraphed inside pass from Jimmy
Boss
Boss not realising when had won one against head 5yards out and is looking at their next mber 8
Next scrum he kicks it out of the scrum. Penalty
4 man overlap and we forward pass
Then on their line we have numbers out wide but go blind and knock on
I could go on but it is so annoying and depressing to watch

well that is 2 Leinster/Ospreys matches this season with a grand total of zero tries. And it is not down to awesome defending but consistently dreadful attack from both sides.

The Pro 12 is not a beautiful spectacle

Hang on. Thats our best result in Swansea in 5 years. Did you renew your season ticket in 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013? If you take games against Ospreys as the gold standard...

Cheer up-
We got two points which is one more than a lot of us thought we'd get and it keeps us two points ahead of them, instead of being one point behind.
And we've increased our lead on Scarlets.

Steady on there Dave - There wasn't any sign of gold anywhere tonight.
That was not entertainment but it was tense drama.
I'll be renewing my season ticket (like many another I'm sure) but it doesn't mean I'm going to be deaf, dumb or blind.
The forum helps people let off a bit of steam instead of voting with their feet and not signing up for another year of MOC.
So which would you prefer?
