thanks for the advise !
Had to respond on the Leeds board after reading one poster state anyone who sent a letter regarging there issue with James Graham to the League Express needed 'a good slap'
Wish i hadn't bothered in a way as i seem to have killed the thread or at least brought it to a halt.
Now ill find ive spoke too soon and expect a barrage of insults to follow later in the day lol !

It will be interesting to see how many letters there are in the League Express about a section of the Hull fans quite audibly singing 'Die Die Cookey F*cking Die' last night...

Not a bright thing to do is it ? It's not the first time a song of that nature about a player has been heard sadly. We'll have to see as to what, if anything, happens after that chant towards Cooke.

That is pretty horriffic, I wonder what if anything will be done about it?

Dear Mr Solly
I am writing to complain about the abusive and expletive-littered chanting directed towards Hull FC player Paul Cooke during the above game.
Early in the game, Hull FC supporters could be clearly heard chanting; "Die, die, Cookie [Paul Cooke] f***ing die". This is in clear contradiction of the RFL's Respect policy which states that:
"RFL Respect Policy :Note - Clubs are responsible for the conduct of their players, parents/carers of players, coaches, officials,volunteers and spectators.
1 No person/s attending a match shall:
a. Use offensive or obscene language to any player, coach, referee, touch judge, official or other spectator;"

As the Complaince Manager with the RFL, I would urge you to investigate these abusive and offensive chants. I am beginning to re-consider attending further Super League games as I do not wish my young daughter to hear such offensive chanting. Likewise, I no longer feel confident watching Sky coverage of the Super League as, having watched a repeat of this game, the chanting is clearly audible on television.
Yours sincerely,

Time to see if the RFL will follow the precedent they have set.

As there was no homophobic abuse directed towards Paul Cooke, then I'm not sure how they could follow that precedent.

Not the first time this chant has been sung by the moronic element of their fans, ( but the first time its been heard via sky) and rightly condemned by the right minded fans on their board, but IMO its as bad as the chants, sung by the minority of Cas idiots, directed to Thomas.

Wonder if the RFL will dish out equal punishment ?

To Wakefield for not stemming the chanting??

This, and Matt King's Barber's' post on the first page, are probably two of the most idiotic posts I've ever read on this site. And that's saying something.

This one?



Oh I don't know: Thatcher is pretty low in my estimation, but I'm prepared to admit that Matt King's Barber is indeed less than three of her.

Study politics and economics and then feel free to debate Thatcher's impact on this country with me.
