Mccall calls Ulster supporters hostile.

Post by mutley60 »

It's hard to watch what the Saracens plays said after the game, but shocked at McCalls reaction.

No idea what your point is, he was a true gent, and very respectful about Ulster.

Id have him back in a heartbeat

Stop looking to be offended by saracens.

That video shows them in a pretty good light, burger stands as a good egg.

McCall looked emotionally wrecked and gave good answers.

Nothing to see here.. Hostile's hardly a dirty word, and that's exactly what was planned tbh..

The Davis Cup Quarter final has a hostile atmosphere on BBC. I'm loving it

I actually take McCalls comment as a compliment to the Ulster supporters… his team has played many games in front of bigger crowds not least the 80,000 plus two weeks ago and for McCall to say his players will never have experienced anything as hostile as 18,000 at Ravenhill is a back handed compliment to the fans.

I bet McCall wished he had that support every week.

ps.. should allow for the 2,500 travelling Sarries fans.. presumably 2,200 of them sold their tickets in bars before the match because they weren't at that feck game.

I have a real dislike for Ashton but in his interviews he's been really complimentary about the Ravenhill atmosphere.

The fans were very passionate last night and in many cases that boiled over into bad sportsmanship due entirely to frustration and a sense of injustice.
Mark McCall is a gentleman and let us not forget an Ulsterman.

Great, that's what Ravenhill should be week in week out, Hostile and intimidating, and knowing Mark McCall his statement would have been a complement.....

Thought Farrell took the prematch banter very well although he seemed somewhat bemused by the intensity of the atmos a full hour before ko.:lol:

Vunipola's behaviour at the end was an absolute disgrace, far worse than anything Ashton has done.
Shame that a few head cases saw the need to throw stuff at him. Hope they can be id-ed. No excuse for that.

Other than his cheap shot on Paddy in the 6N. I don't know why people have it in for Farrell. Ashton yes, but Farrell seems OK to me.
