At the train station on the way home there was a load of Bog Brusher on one side of the platform and a load of loiners on the other. Both were goading each other - both were as bad as each other.

As with all other sports there is always a minority who spoil it for others and I am sorry that this happened to you and yours. On the other hand my party walked off debating the game with some great wigan Guys, so its not all bad.

I'm fed up of these type of fans, but what irritates me just as much is the obligatory thread on here that somehow makes us partly responsible, and having to defend ourselves for the behaviour of a moron. The responsibility lies with them, they'd be morons whether they had a Leeds shirt on or not. It's embarrassing to be seen wearing the same shirt as them but it's a problem with the individual, not the clubs fans as a whole. These threads achieve nothing I'm afraid.

I saw such an incident and thought it was a disgrace ....

I am going to write and complain the following people in this order :

- The lead singer of Echo & The Bunnymen

- Former 'How' presenter Fred Dineage

- The Chairman of Cowdenbeath FC (or failing that the Chairman of Oxford Utd FC )

- Derek Batey

- God

Etc. Etc. Etc.

If I do not receive a satisfactory reply from any of them or if the government does not impose Marshal Law from Noon this Friday in an attempt to catch such perpetrators, my spouse / offspring / hamster / cattle / other domestic animals / fence post / cheese grater collection (*Delete as applicable) will never attend a game of Rugby League in our lives (* Any future lives we have through reincarnation or regression hypnosis)

And given the number of police around, why did you not make an effort to report this 'behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace' to the nearest constable ?

To be fair I saw more trouble at the carnival....

Plenty of wannabe rude bwoys around.

Kind of answers the question in the title of the thread doesn't it?

Does baffle me when people come on here (Leeds fan included too) after their team has lost and start a thread questioning the behaviour of a set of fans when we all know it's a minority of idiots that probably no nothing about RL apart from 'my team is great, your team is rubbish' that cause the trouble, especially at the Finals that attract a lot of 1 game a season 'supporters'. Not condoning it, it's dead wrong but not sure what its aim is on these forums and also unfortunately some people can't handle alcohol and sport (some don't even need the alcohol part) and they'd still be an idiot regardless of what team they 'supported' or wherever they came from along the M62. Decent RL fans are still able to mingle with one another better than most other sport, especially football.

Of course we are not all like that,and you know we are not

I remember in the challenge cup at Headingley when we scored the one and only try, me and a lad who posts on here was walking down the ginnel at the back of the ground, when a lad with other wigan fans came out of nowhere and smacked him and ran away down the alleyway.

What about people on the bus yesterday shouting obscenities and spitting out of the coach windows and then showing there bare ar5se cheek to half of west yorkshire?


From experience, if you don't even reply to anyone, and completely ignore it. "trying to debate" with some mindless idiots is pointless. People blame society and the beer etc, but I'm sure it's not changed that much over the years.

What a great day yesterday

It's part and parcel of watching RL. As we were walking out we passed a few coaches bound for Pieland and several Bog Brushers were showing their disdain of us Leeds fans.

I blew them kisses which, for some unknown reason, seemed to aggravate them further.

Bless.

On the road out past the gas club, i decided, in my slightly inhebriated yet very happy demeanour to skip up the road whilst clapping each coach one by one and waving. I can only think this wasnt appreciated by the passengers as much as it was by the fans walking with me.

Im such a scamp!

Surely I can't be the only RL fan to have noticed you ALWAYS get these kind of moans and whinges off Wigan fans whenever they lose a big game?

You certainly don't get them when they win.

Toy-throwing at it's very worst.

I think the least Mr Hetherington could do is offer you some Challenge Cup Final tickets as a gesture of goodwill.

Although I can appareciate your disgust at what happened to youy i do think the real context should be that knobs don't need a sporting event to confirm the size of their collective gene pool.They display this in any town in UK on many weekend evenings.In this case they merely were more decoratively dressed.
Have a walk around your hometown any Saturday night and it will be there to see for a start.
Like others have mentioned we can all supply a list of poor behaviour from 'other fans'...mine starts with oops some wigan fans at wembley in '94 who at a brave range of all of 10 yards verbally abused a family in an age range of about 8-65+ for "being a bunch of F66666ing %% wasting ya 6666in pension turning up for a ars3333ing" etc etc....all it proved was that if it sounds like a KN**,acts like a KN** then it was indeed..........OR do I mention the LEEDS fan at a Wigan pub who didn't like the way I wore the LEEDS COLOURS....NOW HE was indeed a NORBERT CRANIUM.....
I then had a chat with normal wigan fans......in both cases.....
