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.

So are songs of "die die Lindsey (Maurice) acceptable, if "die die cooke" isn't?

Based on your contribution to this thread so far i would be suprised if you had mastered the 2 times table.

an interesting point this, which has been alluded to before

It would seem from the wording of the cas fines that the home club is responsible for the behaviour and chanting of the crowd but that becomes more difficult if it is the away fans who are causing problems

you could end up with a situation hypothetically where next Wakefield could organise a few rent-a-thugs, ply them with beer and get them to behave in an unacceptable manner and cost cas £20k in suspended fines and damage their franchise bid

is this fair? who is ultimately responsible for the behaviour of away fans?

or even better, dress them in cas shirts and plant them in the crowd, would struggle to identify them then

Why?

Honours degree [imagna cum laude[/i do you? Not that I'm into an academic dick-comparing competition – arguments from authority only work if there's an actual authority. And you aren't.

why what?

why would they do this?

I did say hypothetically and I think the RFL have started down a path which they need to follow up to eliminate all abusive chanting but,...

it was suggested, and probably correctly, that wakefield should be punished for not stemming the abusive chanting of a group of Hull fans.

the final franchise place is broadly accepted as a run off between wakefield and cas or some forced merger

in some people's view damaging cas's franchise bid would in some way enhance wakefields

Why is carrying out your responsibility to steward and police your ground more difficult when it comes to away fans?

Oh Ok
yes that is their responsibilty but identifying them and taking action could prove more difficult.

Cas have done well in identifying 3 fans after the event but if they were away fans or new fans how would they do this?

For away fans it would probably require immediate physical intervention and eviction from the ground and I'm not convinced the stewards we get at RL are capable or trained enough to do this. Maybe the point is they should be and need to be.
