and from the tv you should of known that the ulster fans stand under the camera and the commentator's which makes there noise come across louder then the clan stand.
yes ulster have great support, year after year but they werent making more noise as us yesterday.
as they say, everything on the tv isnt actually 100% fact

terrible behaviour.
just to add some other feedback, but watching the game on tv, all you could hear was the ulster supporters.
sad...

I must have been beside u s4p and heard the comments also. Not to be excused but thankfully these idiots very much in minority. Whether people like it or not if Connacht is to grow then we need people who are new to rugby to come regularly to games. If u tactfully point out to people that the refs decision was indeed correct then they tend to shut up for the rest of the game.

ya didnt like the paddy jackson comment, same person kept shouting, ''HIT HIM, HIT HIM, COME ON ITS ONLY JACKSON FFS, HIT HIM''.
They also kept saying, ''should of gone to specsavers ref should of gone to specsavers ref should of gone to specsavers ref should of gone to specsavers ref''. i gotta say, that was funny 4years ago when the refs got sponsored first. not anymore.

Hate to see that kind of stuff, it needs to be reported to the stewards who should act on it. people like this are no addition to the game and need to be weeded out early.

The headstone comment is bad. It doesn't make sense, it's not witty, and is just plain stupid and ignorant.
I'd love to know what the other comments were that made those people move

Disgraceful 'supporters' in the Clan last nigh was created by Front Row Lady
I just had to come on and have a rant and express my disgust at some connacht 'supporters' in the clan terrace at last night Ulster match. There were a couple of men (late 40's early 50's) standing behind us who thought it was great craic to shout and roar obscenities all evening long at the ref, touch judges and opposition, now I know things can get heated during a game and it's essential we have passion both on and off the pitch but their language and comments were uncalled for. It got so bad at one stage a lady who was there with her children moved and said she wouldn't return if this is what the clan terrace was going to be like. She made a good point by saying we are trying to teach our children respect for officials and opposing teams and then they have to listen to abuse like that. But, that wasn't the worst thing last night, some wally decided while Paddy Jackson was lining up to take a penalty (while the crowd were silent respecting the kicker) to shout out "kick it up towards the cemetery Paddy, there's a headstone there with your name on it"....now I'm not a fuddy duddy and I've actually been known to come out with some stupid one-lines at games myself but I and everyone around me thought it was an absolutely disgusting thing to say. I think it's fantastic to see the crowds growing week in week out but I sincerely hope the clan terrace is not going to become common place for this types of idiots.
