| Quote: Fat Boy "You throw out a veiled accusation that Leeds fans partake in homophobic chanting, suggest that there is evidence that substantiates your claim then, when challenged to produce said evidence instantly dismiss it.
Whatever respectability you had as a reasoned and creditable poster is no more.
I originally gave you the benefit of the doubt but you failed and now will be treated with the contempt you deserve.
Small town boy with huge shoulder chip – by the way do you see much of the McCloud chap?'"
I'd already said that I was prepared to leave it, I know we all have idiot fans. I'm not the one jumping on the band wagon wanting to tar all fans with the same brush, it's you lot that do that. Thanks to Tigersalltheway for giving you the info needed to back up my claim. Is this now the point where we all harp on for ever and a day about Leeds fans being all the same, you want chucking out of the league, every time i go to Leeds i get raped and mugged, you're just a city full of inbreeds, you're the scum of rugby league or do we now admit we all have idiot fans?

| It seems to be true to Castleford form that rather than owning the problem, and trying to see it through to its solution, once again the fault of bad behaviour towards opposition at a Castleford game is blamed on someone else.
The issue at hand isnt what is clearly a very small amount of people singing a stupid song at Sean Long a minimum of 2 and a bit years ago, it is the opposition coach having stones thrown at it whilst leaving Castlefords ground along with the myriad of other crowd behavioural issues Castleford have had.
If you want to pretend that a song about Sean Long 2 years ago in any way mitigates what happens at Cas, thats fine, most people will dismiss you as an idiot.
My only surprise is that they havent blamed Gareth Thomas yet.

| Ouch . The Sean Long song . Would that be the 'traveller , traveller , traveller' one , or ' the wheels on your house go round and round' one ? Never heard anyone else but Leeds fans give him that kind of abuse ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) . He gets it everywhere he goes . Heard it loads of times on the telly . It is 'terrace banter' nothing more , nothing less .

| I think the difference is the quantity of people in the crowd chanting, the intention of the crowd and whether the it is obvious that the person the chants are being directed at will take offence to it.
No club is a saint. Every club has it's fair share, it's possibly just the ratios that make the difference.

| Quote: Andy R "Before tarring us all with the same brush, which I believe you're criticising others for doing have a read of the first couple of pages of this thread. Myself and othersdefend the majority of Cas fans and accept that all clubs have an idiotic element.'"
Apologies mate, I did read your post and never ever do I treat all people the same as anyone else, let alone group fans like this. Any "tarring" I have done on here was either sarcastic and ironic (aimed at those who call all Cas fans bad), or totally unintentional (it's so easy to word things incorrectly and get pulled up later).

I know what you mean about the ratios but I don't see any difference between a section of the Castleford support directing a homophobic chant at Gareth Thomas and most of the Leeds southstand directing a chant at (say) Sean Edwards insinuating that he enjoys anal sex - a common enough chant over the years with its homophobic overtures, and directed at whoever was the play maker of the team we were playing that week.
Where Cas got shafted by the RFL was that it was directed at a high profile recent international RU convert who was also had a high international media profile regarding his sexual preference (see the coverage of his "outing" from America on Youtube) and it was televised/recorded, they were made an example of but they are not the only club who have been guilty of such things in the past.
