Sorry but was I the only one who noticed 99% of the trouble before, during and after was caused by Fev fans.

Not according to him I assure you, he always says he was sacked, wether that was the true postition or not I don`t know.

well, he isn't renowned for his intelligence is he?

What a good idea, ask a guy who is bitter towards a club who sacked him and is a fan of the other club.
A very unbiased view that one - NOT.

BBC in Leeds is poor for stuff like that, why ask him, what the h*ll has it got to do with him anyway???

Just watched the link. What an absolute Roe has made of the whole day. No sympathy whatsoever towards the injured party, but he's obviously the one with the deepest wounds that haven't healed with time.
Are you Mark Aston in disguise ? JOKE, sick man more like.

We must be able to dig out an email for Roe, I'm sending an email to the link posted on here anyway. Roe has a chip on his shoulder that could feed the third world.

Just sent my email in.

I remember years back at Elland Rd when he was playing for Hunslet and he started on Mick O'Byrne and Mick leathered him, they both got sent off & while they were going down the tunnel, Roe asked our man for his teeth back that were embedded in Mick's forehead, so he gave them him back with interest. I always think of that story when I see him or hear him droning on the radio.

arnt sound bites brilliant!

"Fax fans approach a stand were fev fans were, thats when fevs fans spilled on to the pitch! and were the real trouble started, then police dogs got involved!"

WTF

how do u spill on to a pitch! To my thinking u leave ya standing poistion, run down the stand, jump on to the pitch and try and charge at the fax fans! not saying fax fans were not goading coz iam sure they were, but nothing differant to what goes on in the stands! and as for the police dogs they came on to the pitch some ten minutes later.

A very poor sound bit which was not reflective of what actually happpend!

bit of a storm in a tea cup if u ask me!

Mr roe a poor sound bite

I can only assume that in these days of cutbacks at the BBC that Roe comes cheap.

Desperate to keep himself in the limelight.

Shame the Beeb can't employ someone who knows what he's talking about though.

I was furious about the comments made by Peter Roe this coverage was on one of our 'innocent fans' fighting for his life after two operations need for his head injury. I have contacted The BBC also this morning to complain about the biased and incorrect comments made. This is totally unacceptable! The Fax fans behaved impeccably during the evacuation of the East Stand whilst coverage on TV shows the Featherstone fans trying to get on to the pitch!! A group of us were in Spoons having a drink and a laugh until it was mobbed by Featherstone fans shouting abuse and intimidating us the police were called then to control them we left the pub and was abused and intimidated in the street the last pub we called in just down from the Halliwell Jones stadium was mainly Fax fans but was once again mobbed by Fev fans out for trouble I was very upset and feared for our saftey one guy actually came over and said to me "get out now cos its gonna kick off" that was easier said than done as we were by now backed into the back of the pub. We don't want this sort of behaviour in our wonderful game and the RFL need to act on these clubs!! Maybe Featherstone should play their games behind locked gates next season!!1

I still love the fact that if you're being goaded you NEED to run on the pitch on have a fight. Like it's clearly just second nature and no one has any self control.

Last match I was at where the 'goaded' excuse was used was Away at Luton where because we goaded them from afar, 500 of them HAD to run onto the pitch and throw coins at us for 15 minutes. Peter Roe and some Fev fans must also see them in the right aswell....

I have had a response from James Deighton, which I will respond to shortly: -

"Many thanks for your message and the kind comments too.

Regarding what Peter said, which part of it do you feel was inaccurate. I too saw a MINORITY of Fax fans appearing to goad Fev fans when they came onto the pitch and several Rovers supporters trying to breach the police corden as a result. However as i'm sure you were much closer to the action i'm happy to be corrected and i can speak to Peter if needs be.

As i'm sure you're aware there's a small collection of morons following every single rugby league club and it's incredibly sad that right minded fans like yourself are tainted with that particular brush.

Our thoughts are with Mr Singer and his family and hopefully those responsible can be punished for what they have done.

It was a strange strange day for a number of reasons and to cap it all off we saw a supporter assault a woman in the car park as we were leaving which wasn't great. Thankfully the police weren't far away and intervened!

I have to say the initial shot in the Look North piece of fans on the field accompanied with the script "tensions were running high" is more than a little misleading and would lead someone to think they had come onto the field to riot rather than as part of the evacuation!

Let me know what you think
Cheers JD"
