Light the blue touch paper:- www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... -1-4812071 Can't remember him saying he was sickened by the treatment of some of his ex-colleagues at Leeds Rhinos by some of the Wakey fans last Monday. Oh dear.

The abuse was out of order but Wakey warmed up at the Railway end and attacked the Wheldon Road end in the first half so up until he scored his first try he was nowhere near the majority of Cas fans. I don't care what he says, his celebration was inflamatory and he knew exactly what he was doing. He needs to put his brain in gear before operating his mouth in future.

He incited the crowd - that's why he got the abuse that he did and if he's going to behave that way then he needs to man up and accept it. I guess plenty of fans will have seen some of the snide remarks he's tweeted implying things towards Cas as well. Sickened he may be, but he's not an innocent party in this.

"Man up" and Mathers in the same sentence? Doesn't work, happy to be rid of....

On twitter I have respectfully and non-abusively suggested instead of asking his "innocent" questions and refering and implying things about Cas, on behalf of other players, he would be better paid letting people make their own minds up.

He disagrees and thats fine by me.

If you choose to out your opinion and use your status and platform for your own free speech, sadly you can expect it back.
I might write a counter piece "Deano sickened by gobby players naivety" where I express my dismay at gob e's who know what snide point they are trying to imply but then when their 1:many ratio turns round to bite them on the and they get many:1 abuse back, it's not fair.

Like the guy, seems badly advised sometimes but it is his life, he has to live it his way. All that said, we do have some really unpleasent people sometimes who's opinions revolt me and I have a few miles on the clock, I just hope nobody went too far in the sun and beer.

Nonsense - he was getting abuse from the minute he set foot on the pitch, (remember booing his every touch?)

Yes his reaction wasn't as professional as what we have come to expect from Mathers, but hey, if you can't take it - don't dish it out!

I think the real concern for you guys is that he's scored 3 tries past you over the season and you're still paying half his wages - very shrewd!

Only concern I have got is that he doesn't play for Cas Tigers next year and by the looks of it my wish will come true when Wakey finally take over his contract.

It shows just how highly Cas actually rate him, enough to pay him to play against them

On topic though: do you expect anything else from him? He will moan about anything! He's really in the wrong profession.

I lost all respect for him on sunday.So glad he won't be wearing a Cas shirt again.Idiot!!

Can't see why people are getting wound up.

You didn't want him
He came to us
We like him (mostly)
We want him
You still don't
You give him grief as you still don't like him
He scores two tries in a win against you
He enjoys it
He takes an opportunity to moan about it to his "fans"
You still don't like it
You moan on your own forum to you "fans"

seems like a "dad he's pushing me" kind of arguement to me

I'd have been sickened by some of our fans using the c word towards him as it was unwarranted and an awful thing to hear. Richie Mathers has done nothing wrong as far as I can see.

Well Said

Where we were stood in the PS Mathers was being given the benefit of doubt until his second try which he celebrated in front of us (and zero Wakey fans) like a last minute GF winner....don't tell me that wasn't an exaggerated and deliberate act of provocation. The guy has some ability but absolutely no class.

Cause he was celebrating and I don't blame him the unfair abuse he took from some of you lot - you're yet another cycloptic fan I this case.

Jeez Hudson virtually makes love to his Cas badge on the rare occasions you beat us and we don't moan, and that bloke took your silver and was banned for 2 years if we're talking class!
