People looking for loopholes.......you'll have all the idiots suing the lsv for getting grass stains on their trainers next

At least we don't have 'that' problem at Widnes !

It is not "defunct". If it were, then what on earth was the point of "updating" a "defunct" Act?

All this is just ludicrous, all I asked was the pretty simple question WHICH SPECIFIC section in which Act or which Statutory Instrument APPLIES THE PROVISIONS TO RUGBY LEAGUE MATCHES".

If you know, just tell us, if you don't, just say. This coy fannying about is irritating.

It was posted on the Salford forum that Queens were suspended from the competition following some similar a few years back against Doncaster. Has the precedent already been set by the RFL?

No. Because Queens are a disgrace to RL who should've been banned from rugby league entirely years ago, along with plenty of their players, coaches and club officials.

Whilst Widnes have a problem with an element of their fans at the moment it's not the same situation.
If they don't deal with the problem and it happens again then they'd be at risk of being banned.

Widnes have previous though vs Wakefield (www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/ ... -1-5837644) and Warrington (www.express.co.uk/sport/rugbylea ... y-fighting).

This incident, perversely, has given me a new found sense of respect for the Widnes club itself. The rogues gallery scrolling across their website, coupled with strongly worded statements and video uploads, all illustrates a really professional approach to addressing a really crap situation which they find themselves in.

Having seen many of those youtube uploads, I thought the reaction of the Castleford fans to being goaded by the Widnes lot was, well, pityful really.

All they could come up was that tedious 'Yorkshire Yorkshire' chant. Pathetic.

Surely they could have come up with something witty to embarrass the Widnes fans instead of giving another airing to one of the worst and most boring chants we ever hear at a RL stadium.

Well yes I agree any admiration we may have felt for them not being goaded onto the pitch, has been evaporated by them failing to sing an originally penned song. Can we get some video footage of the perpetrators?

How about we just be glad they didn't wade on the pitch and have a mass brawl?

I would have preferred the Widnes "fans" to keep moving forward into the stand where the Cas fans were - now that would have been interesting.

Why did so many of them remove their shirts as they entered the playing area? It was like a mass body dysmorphia episode. They must have thought they looked like something out of Gladiator when the rest of the World saw pallid weaklings with pipe-cleaner arms or fat, hairy-ar5ed losers. The one on Page 3 (I kid you not!) of League Express is a belter. Looks like a balding Silverback!

Ah!! Here comes Mr. Gormless.

I know this is off topic, but any idea of when Queens went downhill? I remember them playing a BARLA Cup game against a London team before a League match at Chiswick in the mid-eighties, and they were fine then.
