Castleford fans are rugby fans.

You are a rah rah troll.

The art of Rugby League Tactics According to Dally Messenger "Just use dummy runners":



Quote: dally messenger "im sort of neutral on this

RL is a tough sport so you expect players to take a bit of stick

there has been a fair amount of comment about racist comments at black players from opposing players so it seems that racist / homophobic stuff is out?

players were too scared of roberts to bag him, as garry jacks head found out at leichhardt oval one day when he baited roberts'"


So if you are neutral on this, you are sat on the fence, ergo, you arent decided wether homophobic chanting is ok or not. The fact you are even debating wether it is ok or not sums you up icon_lol.gif

Quote: Codarmysaint "There was no chanting aimed at him from rugby fans, just the castleford fans.

What a way to treat a bona fide legend of the 15 a side code, one who spoke so highly of the game'"


well a proper rugby player would take it out on the opposition rather than talk to the media about it

probably says hes soft imo

ian roberts never did this, but then again hes not a union player

Quote: Codarmysaint "Gabby Logan made a remark to Scott Quinell that rugby league fans might aim homophobic chants at him, after pointing out he never received any of that from all his years playing rugby. There was mass outrage on here. Fans were boycotting the BBC, effigies of her were burnt, even a blow up doll with the name Gabby Logan was hung from the humber bridge. Your average chip on shoulder rugby league fan was emailing the bbc at this absolute outrage, when in fact, she was right.'"

i expect RL players to be tougher tbh

it says a lot about how soft union is

hell learn that in league what you do on the field counts more than cheap talk in the media

this is a tough sport

It would be a shame if the positive publicity he has helped to generate for Crusaders just descended into weekly reports about how bad the homophobic chanting had been in horrible rugby league.

The Cas fans should be ashamed of themselves.

What are you an idiot as well?

One or two or even 20 isn't the whole crowd...nor the whole community that follows a sport.

Twit. As bad as the troll.

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????" I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4486.png

You know Saddened, for once I agree with you! I would be gutted if Wigan fans did it.

I'm starting to think you're actually Stephen Jones. He's also a poor Union troll with weak arguments and a tendency to reveal his anti-RL agenda too early in the piece. Oh, and is also a tw4t. I think you're Stephen Jones, you've realised Chris Irvine posts on here and you fancy your chances.

Did his wife know he was gay?

Be loyal be loud, be Cas, be proud - wherever in the world you are! Join Cas Tigers in Exile on Facebook:39169.jpg



I was at the game and when it happened it was brief, no more than 10 seconds, but very audable. It was a poor game with little atmosphere so easy to hear the chants.

It was only a group of about 20 lads but everyone else seemed to cringe. I heard people saying it was a pathetic chant.

Yes it happened, yes it was shameful and Im sorry it was cas. But that said, the reaction from the rest of us really heartened me. It was probably the same 20 who "demonstrated" on sunday icon_rolleyes.gif

I felt genuinely excited to see a rugby legend like Gareth Thomas down the lane. Its always nice to see someone you maybe only have ever seen on TV

Can't blame the majority of Cas fans for a small minority of idiots.

I await the almost inevitable "GT takes it up the ... " chant at Headingley from the small group of narrow minded individuals, when Crusaders come to town.

Thats the creative, intelligent one we got mate. I was embarrassed for em. Anyone with at least 10 friends will probably know someone who is gay! Get over it!

We have three small groups of idiots at Cas at the minute..
Those 20 I mentioned, the board and the ones who wear a shirt and pretend to be players!!!
