One of those 2 got recognised on the way out and shoved to the ground, he shiiiiite his sen and his m8 legged it.

Look m8 dont assume you are talking to some prude hear, i have followed Leeds Utd and England all over europe, i even got tear gassed in sardinia in 1990 world cup v holland, not big, not clever im older now. I actually loved the atmosphere Friday full of passion from both sets, it was like the old days watching Rovers. What sed me and the other off was the throwing its fkg out of order at a RL game they dont do it in soccer any more. I tell you there was some tough old ex-players in that Rovers crowd that dont want but wouldnt shirk away from a tear up, them little shiiiites were goading us all night, have they been doing that all season?
Cas are the same, the other year we were in the wheldon rd end and they showered us with urine from pint pots, all the fans ran at them swinging punches as anyone who had been showered in ss would, true to form they legged it loads of our fans got banged up and we were branded thugs, we arnt. I got told of a York fan they do that to most fans. I went on the train with some mates friday we got into Halifax at 2pm had a right day found some cheap pubs, had a sit down curry everyone was friendly. That is why i now watch Rugby not football, i dont want to be involved in any trouble but il be damded if im gonna just stand there while some little scrout throws stuff at me.

That is a good post and I have noticed an element of the crowd geting nastier for some time.It has upset me twice to watch it as they do not seem to bother about very small children geting drawn into it.
Although the stewards thankfully did seem to have a bit of a stratagy about them this week ,it seemed too little too late in my opinion.
What is needed is for the group to be watched throughout the match and as soon as one of them throws something then march him out of the ground . If any of the others carry on throwing stuff do the same again eventually they would get the message and it splits them up a bit.
They have been chucking things for some time now and nothing has been done about it which I believe has led to an escalation at the last two matches where small children have been scared witless.Anyone who condones that must be out of their tiny minds. What is the point of having someone read the "respect "thing out at every match warning people about bad behaviour if no-one gets anything done to them.
This will escalate further now because it was not nipped in the bud earlier in the season unless measures are taken.It`s ok someone on this thread taking the Mick about a Fev`s lad being scared well it wasn`t just the one child either I saw 2 who could have been no more than 5/6 scared witless and I am glad my own grandchildren did not see it .
Maybe the usual "respect message" that gets trotted out every week has become routine to everyone maybe somebody differant needs to take the mic` before the next home match and tell everyone the club will not stand any more from the small bunch of idiots that are giving the club a bad name and a repeat of it will mean they will be barred from the ground and jolly well do it.

Its a fine line really m8, most of the games in the championship and 1 are dead for an atmosphere, that was banging Friday i loved it, your fans singing at us got us going and singing back. I find anywhere there is a covered terrace and a team starts getting success you will get a load of youths gathering in a spot and singing getting an atmosphere going. Nothing wrong with that, but then what starts happening is when opposing fans are in the same stand ( as happens a lot with rl fans changing ends) the gang of singers who are mostly teenagers get an "our stand " mentality. Cas have it now with the Wheldon end well whenever Rovers play there it is seen as a challenge to go in there and give them some. The problem at the Shay now is with only the one terrace every game you share the same stand. most games nothing will happen then you will play a game like Friday where the oppositions fans will give them some back and all helll breaks loose, then what happens is when you play these teams again more home scroats turn up because they will get a reaction and more away fans to give them some back.I dont know what the answer is but a start would be somehow stop them throwing because most men even with kids wont mind being sang at and abused really they will laugh it off, its just that throwing shiiiite that will tip them over the edge

Some stewards all the game among the fans in the 'hot spot' is the answer, but with our stadium management that would be too obvious and involve making a decision.
Won't happen sadly.

People confuse arrogance with confidence. We were confident at 18 nil up, not arrogant. Huge difference.

Must appologise then. With you being a " silver member" I hadn't realised that both words began with a"C".

Any chance this thread can be locked too as the OP has a go at the club, the players and the fans. We all know that threads like that are not allowed on a disscusion board about HXRLFC.

May i just add we were one minute from winning the match, im gonna stand up for boys here, cos i think they all want to win this year, Fev are a good side, and i think we will win. We lost a match in the last minute, prep wont have been good having had a one off like Toulouse, well be back though, we always are
The Alarm bell is wired up, but it aint ringing yet, it might be different if we dont win on Friday though, big big game..
Lets hang fire, and give them a chance.. If the end of the season doesn't prove fruitful, then we may have a point, we have a great team, remember.

Having re-read the OP im still trying to work out why this thread is still going and the other isnt even though there is more valid points on the other. Any way i took a minute to work through the post.




Last time i looked we were. The league table dosnt lie and all he is doing is stating what all opposition coaches acknowledge.



Thats sport.



Wasnt individuals it was just about all. I say let them get smashed unless it effects thier performace which on Fridays performance at the end it suggested that it did. They are employed by the club and if off field activities are affecting on field performances then it becomes a problem. I feel playing with 16 players was more of a contributing factor though.
But bagging the players on here should see this thread locked apparently.



Why were/are the above teams disliked you have to ask yourself. Its because they are succesful. Its a British thing so im not sure being disliked is such a bad thing.



Are our players playing with arrogance? Id say confidence but lets try to nip that in the bud straight away.



No one attempted a torpedo kick either.


About sums the original post up.

Its Taken 49 posts for someone to talk sence, but thank you greg florimos boots!!

The only slight dissagreement is your responce to "ClaireFAXFAN wrote: We seem to lack that killer instinct which enables us to put a team to bed, Whitehaven in the NRC semi's a few years ago, Widnes in the play-offs, Widnes in the NRC, Whitehaven in the play-offs and Featherstone last night."

Its ok saying that but think of all the late comebacks we've made againgst teams that should have put us to bed, Leigh and dewsbury away from last year immediately spring to mind. Its an 80 minute game and rather than attempting to "put a side to bed" once we get into position we should focus on maintaining the performance that has got us into this position in the 1st place and take each minute as it comes

i think this thread, the drinking one, blaming the ref, crying and calling each other names etc firstly undermines how well fev played, they won because they were better; and secondly shows how high emotions are running after such a tense game that we lost this time. Isn't that what sport is all about. Its strange, but the feeling of utter despair i felt friday night when lee scored in the last minute sits better with me than joyful apathy i felt when beating batley 72 0. I'd take the former over the latter 9 times out of 10.

Yeah I agree I think this thread has run its course
