'Kingston out' - enraged Harlequins fans take to Twitter to demand resignation of DOR
By Online Editors
After being humiliated at home by Premiership bottom dwellers London Irish, Harlequins fans have taken to social media to vent their outrage at their teams poor performance.
London Irish, who stand on the brink of being relegated, bagged a 35 - 5 bonus point victory away from home, a result that has raised the ire of Harlequins fans online, many of whom want to see Director of Rugby John Kingston stand down.
London Irish have won all three Premiership matches all season, and two of those wins have been the double over Harlequins.
Quins now sit ninth in the table, with seven wins and thirteen losses to their name. Even Chris Robshaw felt the need to apologise, given the nature of the loss:
The Harlquins Twitter account tweeted that Kingston was quoted giving the following reaction to the loss: "We never got going, Irish played well and we were lethargic from the start and didn't get anything going and it just got worse. We've slipped into another substandard performance and I'm first to say, it's not acceptable."
The tweet alone received just shy of one hundred replies and will not have made for pleasant reading for Kingston. The following Tweets give a flavour of the mood among fans.
Even Andy Goode, who was in Hong Kong at the Sevens, questioned what exactly is going on at Harlequins. "What’s going on at that club?! Big questions to be asked, is it coaches, players or the culture? Tough times at the Stoop serious answers needed!"
Troubled times at Harlequins indeed.

Starts to be overdone and oversold this systematic SA narrative…which nevertheless has the merit in this case to recognise blatant refereeing mistakes in their favor
Go to commentsWhat a sad way to end a glittering career. Somebody should tell him to delete his social media accounts and face the consequences of what he's done. Then he should slip away quietly into obscurity. This isn't likely to happen, something tells me he'll be back in The Sun / Daily Mail sooner rather than later.
