Great expectations leave Reds fans blue

There was a time, not so long ago when a victory, even a Thomond Park victory, over Welsh opposition would have been greeted by euphoria. The celebrations would have been even greater when that win kept Munster top of their qualifying group in the Heineken Cup and on course for a quarter-final place.

Yet there was very little jubilation among the Red faithful on Saturday; relief yes, that another bridge had been crossed, but a sense also of frustration. More was expected, more could certainly have been delivered; nevertheless, are we starting to become a bit precious? Depends on how you look at it.
