One I used to use when TJ-ing whenever any one shouted "you want that flag shoving up your ariss" I used to reply "It won't go I've not got rid of last week's yet"

I once ran the line at Siddal in a BARLA cup game and got the usuual "you know what you can do with your flag touch judge". I spun round saying "stick it right up your f***ing ar*e", only to find Maurice Oldroyd looking suitably shocked. I hope it wasn't him that shouted it.

In one of Harris' first game back in league he queried Ganson's (I think) decision to which he replied "what's up Iestyn, have you not been watching the game for the last three years?"

I remember a TV game (must have been CC cos was on BBC) Bradford v somebody and Robbie Paul was questioning a lot of decisions from referee Steve Presley. Obviously exasperated Presley says " Robbie do you know what referee's signals mean?" Paul "Yes sir" Presley "In that case you don't need to keep asking me what every decision is for!"

Josh charnley is a Gypsy last year at the widnes game

Later on he posted a picture of a caravan on his twitter claiming it was "His new pad"

Not really a comeback - but when playing away at Dudley Hill as a raw teenager, I got up to play the ball and their gnarled overweight prop at marker slyly bashedt ball out of my hands. Ref gave them a scrum. He just touched me on the head - "hard lines cock".

One from the old Boulevard days.

A banana was thrown onto the pitch at Martin Offiah, but he proceeded to pick it up and took a bite. Dont think he every got another bad word said about him after that.

Couple of years ago, wire were playing wigan they were beating us and as they were walking back towards the fletch, we started chanting you fat at terry o connor, who looked up at us, looked at his stomach and started pointing at neil cowie who was alongside him. Cowie looked suitably upset.


Same insult again, only this time to bobbie goulding when he was at huddersfield in 99, i think, he turned around to us at one point and did a big geseture with his hand marking out this mythical fat stomach.


He then proceeded to destroy us

he also got quite a few renditions of 'taxi for goulding' that day as per the alleged incident he was involved in.

3 or 4 years ago, Widnes v Wigan in the Cup. Ganson running across the front of the Wigan fans as he warmed up getting all kinds of abuse, You Scouse B'tard, Ganson is a w***** etc.

On his way back across the front of the stand, he started skipping, smiling and blowing exaggerated kisses (with hands) to the Wigan fans. Got a big laugh and applause.

Another Ganson classic in a Carnegie 9's night at Orrell a few years back. When jogging back to halfway after observing a touchline conversion, the mostly Wigan fans shouted "Go on!", in the same manner you do when a player makes a break. Ganse broke into a full on sprint with goose steps Very funny.

Leeds v wire a few seasons ago. Ganson is giving penalty after penalty (all justified) against wire. After yet another penalty Ganson called lee briers for a word, all of which is in ear shot of the refs mic it being a Sky game.

Briers gets the first line in with "Stevo is calling you pedantic right now"

Ganson, to his eternal credit retorts "if you want to see pedantic, keep talking and carrying of walking to the changing rooms"

Robin Whitfield used to blow kisses and elaborately bow in front of a baying South Stand before reffing Leeds games.

Good read this thread.

I see the attitudes from supporters has changed over the years.

Tales of Wally Lewis and referees flipping the bird to the crowd are fondly remembered.

Strange that the response to the Sam Tomkins "V" against Leeds was met with a somewhat different attitude.

Sign of the times perhaps? Are we all ultra sensitive nowadays?

Maybe we are but give it 10-20 years and I think people will look back at it differently and laugh about the events
