Fair enough really. Beaumont acted like a tool and our lot behaved terribly as well.

No, cant argue about the outcome. Done and dusted now. We will move on and concentrate on what matters.

Offence committed, punishment meted out. Can't complain, although slightly puzzlingly, "Bradford Bulls" (no named individual) appear to have been found guilty of committing the identical offence, but apparently without a fine. We (DB) must have more money than the Bulls! www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/32 ... cidents-at

should have been a bigger fine, i could hear Beaumonts drunken bellowing sat here at home 50 miles away, courtesy of BCB.

Ah, I see you've got the law running slightly at odds to reality.

[meldrew mode]Being drunk nowadays is a mitigation and [inot[/i another offence with which you may be charged. If he'd been drunk enough, he could have got off with murdering someone - just a bit of banter innit, just one of the lads, know what I mean, hic...[/meldrew mode]

Here's my take on it. Rugby League is a family sport and is marketed as such. What Beaumont does not quite understand, clearly, through his vocabulary and behaviour. Is that young people and even children are brought to matches. His behaviour in close proximity, could be said as distressing and even frightening to some.

In his elevated position with the club, He has a responsibility to be more of a role model and be a shining example in representing his club and Rugby League in this country as a whole.

Sadly his rather inflated Ego prevented him from issuing an apology for his behaviour. People would think a great deal more of him had he done so.

I did not go to the match on that day (Working)) However the fact that the Leigh Fans, as I understand it, were on the whole Brilliant has some what saved his face.

I didn’t hear what was said nor am I trying to condone it, as I have no doubt he has quite rightly been found guilt and punished accordingly.

And although he may not have got down on bended knee and begged for complete forgiveness and claimed that he was provoked, but he did apologise a few days after the event.

He said: “I do not wish to be drawn on the situation as it is currently under investigation, other than to say I have never been treated in such a manner in my life, let alone during my time in Rugby League.
“I rose to the bait. I should be better than that and I apologise to anybody who witnessed that, as it is not my persona."

If anyone wants to read Derek's statement in full simply type "Mealey-mouthed" into Google and you'll be re-directed....

As it takes two to tango, could you kindly advise where I can find Bradford's apology?

I didn't realise you needed two people to let out a Foul mouthed tirade of abuse
