| Tbf it is hardly all Keighley fans, even if they do have some Premier league assholes which do seem to send us their occasional wishes as above.
But ultimately what has happened to them is fairly typical. Complete and utter ballsup, followed by on-the-hoof fag-packet swerve and reverse, accompanied by absolutely no worthwhile explanation, and a brazen bluff-it silence in the knowledge that it's tomorrow's chip papers, and they will surely get away with it, like they got away with everything in our case and in many previous cases involving others and other issues.
They have no shame, no sense of embarrassment, and feel absolutely no need whatsoever to account to the fans for their actions, however bizarre.
There'll be other lessons too, first that many talk a good game, but a much smaller proportion ever bother to actually do anything, even sign a petition. And finally that it'll just be a total waste of time, as it will achieve nothing, except to show the RFL that only a tiny proportion of RL fans are even bothered to sign up.
Only a court case would potentially achieve anything, but they all tend to fizzle out into damp squibs, so I'm afraid unless the Cougars put up the money to take the fight to court, they might as well move on in the time-honoured way their trolls regularly encourage us to do.

| Quote: Rarebreed "Unlikely that the majority of Bulls fans, would feel so vindictive towards the Cougars being relegated. To be honest the whole structure of the way the Bonus points have taken away the right of the teams is wrong IMO.Those teams who have won the most games to be below teams in the league simply because they have lost games by less than 12 points, thus not earning an extra bonus point because of it.
In Keighley's case it so happened they won 12 games which was the same as Whitehaven and Batley (after restoration of the 3 deducted points) but the 1 draw was the difference. It's a great shame that a team that suffered the loss of it's player coach for a month, courtesy of the judiciary panel at the RFL, at probably a critical time in the season is being placed in the near amateur ranks of a lower division. Let's hope they can survive it all? Like you I believe a petition will be a waste of time, as they unfortunately could not say that Batley would have replaced them as relegated, if the status had remained, ie that a point deduction hadn't been made in the first instance. Keighley would still be a point adrift due to the fact Batley had drawn a game which Keighley hadn't. Harsh isn't the word for the farcical situation the RFL have created for the whole game.'"
Haven won 13 games not 12,town and batley finished above us winning 12

| Bonus points in plenty of sports leads to teams finishing lower than other teams who have won less games. But everyone is playing to the same system and each club knows the rules at the start of the season... oh s . . .
Yes I agree with the petition but sue the RFL in court for massive compensation and go to sports aribitration.
I don't think much will be done in house, but legally they are in the wrong. Don't mention morality as they don't have morals or the game they run would be much better.
