If I have read this correctly, you are saying that RL is falling behind sports like football because we are not accepting player abuse as readily?

That's a fascinating opinion

some sense at last !

regarding 'abuse' - it comes in many forms some acceptable and some degrading and even illegal - it's a wide subject matter - one mans abuse is another mans egging-on or 'avin a laugh

The last premiership football game I went to was Chelsea Liverpool at Stamford Bridge

If you two are looking for that kind of atmosphere at RL games, I won't be joining you - it looks good on TV but when you get close to some of the animals on the terraces then you see a very different reality

can't be any worse than the football grounds in the 70s when anything seemed acceptable,before,during & after the match

let's hope RL never gets close to that scenario

They interviewed Joel about the incident. When asked how did you feel the morning after the event he replied

Ruuuuuuuffff!

we should all paws for thought and consider the rufff treatment he has had. It can't be nice losing your chum, then again he should have let sleeping dogs lie. I am sure he will help Warrington Winalot and the fair minded RL fans will slacken the leash on this occasion and give a dog a bone. It was harsh to be collared in the way he was but you can't teach an old dog new tricks, although he was doing his best.


ok I'll get my coat!

Please tell me this was a very sarcastic post...

great tail JB !

Barry McKenzie was told that in the 1970s and 1980s St Helens, Wigan and Warrington had a gang of trouble makers who tried to do at footy grounds what was going on at the soccer ones.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a bit more biffa going on in RL crowds...especially at internationals when the Poms get tonked by *insert another nations name here*

Back home the Bulldogs supporters are known for being a bit 'excitable'


I suppose now in superleague the only club that suffers with 'crowd trouble' is Harlequins...in as much as they dont have a crowd

???

I can understand you putting in the [ibold[/i part, but putting in the part after.....



You are Gareth Thomas, you have a sequel book coming out, and I claim my fiver!

p.s. He didn't deserve any insults, nor does anyone, James Graham included, he wouldnt be able to tell you what they were though as he didn't hear them, and if you find 'We Can See You Holding Hands' offensive then I also claim a fiver for 'Outing' you as Mary Whitehouses ghost!

It is fascinating. By that logic we should also be spitting at the players every time they get within 2 yards of the touchline and throwing missiles at them at every opportunity.

I'd best get sharpening my pennies for next season. Must keep up with the wendyball morons now.

This is the single, most ridiculous post on the internet.

Well done on making yourself look like an utter moron.

Just had to do a double take then!

It is totally different.
