It's his own fault, every time someone does hurl abuse at him, he fetches it back.

HAHAHAHAHA..... Brilliant.... agreeing that I need to get out more....

Says you... with your average of 17 posts per day since you joined compared to my 0.9 posts per day.

Get a grip son !!!

Can't believe that my twist on a quote was ripped into above some of the pathetic 'pedigree chum' type 'jokes' that are flying around.

he will love watching the porn on bbc 2... one man and his dog

Drabble in a thong....

I hear Wolfie is to be supplied with one of these







In crimson and blue of course

Surely you mean Primrose ?

Think these are 3 fans who wont be joining in with the abuse

I believe this little smasher has bought a season ticket down at the Howliwell Jones Stadium to try to catch Joels attention.

Reel it in...

Maybe they should... perhaps they should fine all clubs who fail to curb fans who are involved in abusive chanting.



Well you are 100% ill informed. The law prohibits any form of discrimination based upon sexual orientation. This is not defined by homosexuality or any other form of sexual preference. I think you will find the act of bestiality is illegal in the UK, and the act of homosexuality is legal in consenting adults but verbal abuse of anyone of those sexual preferences is legal, just as it is with somebody who is a heterosexual. The tiny minority of Castleford fans who taunted Gareth Thomas were not doing anything illegal, just something socially unacceptable.



I'm intrigued by your knowledge of events on the day in question. What did the Cas fans chant? There are no recorded notes on what was actually chanted from either Gareth Thomas, the RFL or the match commissioner. The only thing I have heard was that the chant was 'we can see you holding hands', which doesn't seem 'crass' but instead rather tongue in cheek and perhaps indicative of the 'creative best' of the Neanderthals that made the chants. I personally have no idea what was chanted and neither it seems does anyone who was involved in the punishing of the Castleford club. Indeed, one could hypothesise that the Castleford club were made an example of in a nice publicity coup for the RFL. It is strange that the massive reduction in punishment for Castleford upon appeal seems to have flown beneath the radar and barely given a mention in the press.



I agree he is an idiot for committing an illegal act. That is not the fans' problem. It is also none of any fan's concern about any player's sexual orientation. It simply doesn't matter. But the RFL punishing Castleford in any way sends the message that any abusive chanting should result in punishments for the hosting club. Although obviously the RFL have widely ignored other incidences of abuse at RL games since the Castleford ruling, you don't go through a game on Sky without hearing 'the referee's a ' do you?

I'll make it clear that I don't condone Cas fans chanting at Gareth Thomas, I also don't condone the RFL punishing clubs for publicity reasons or them acting hypocritically. I also don't condone what Monaghan did, but frankly, it's not important. Monaghan will get stick for it just as James Graham will get stick for having ginger hair, it's all in the sledging and banter of sport, and that's one of the many reasons sport is great. I was being tongue in cheek with my original post, it's amusing to see how many people on here react to it as if the Thomas situation and the inevitable Monaghan situation are in any way different - because they're not.

Pictures to lighten the mood please.....

If you insist...

Good to see Joel will take it in good heart. Some pictures very amusing. I'm amazed you know where to look for them though. Enjoy your taking. I'd be doing the same, just as most fans when they play teams who have players that have assault, racial and PHD charges on their record.

Thread of the year.

I do agree it is worrying a fair few of you know too many sites to get these pictures from! Makes me think Joel will be in good company!!!

So how much do you think the RFL will dare to fine any club where the fans are singing that well known song that made...

1 in the Australian Singles Chart
1 in the Radio Luxemburg Sheet Music Chart
9 in the UK Singles chart
1 in the US Billboard Magazine?

I think the words start something like "How much is that doggie in the window" and there's a repetitive bit that goes something like "woof woof"?

lol, I thought you meant, who let the dogs out.

And they call it puppy love....

A lot of us have more things in common with Joel Monohan than we think in terms of animal abuse. In the colder months, a lot of rugby league fans will be taking in flask of tea to keep themselves warm during half time. One of the ingredients of tea is milk and we all know how milk is produced. A poor Cow gets its udder fondled, just so we can squeeze out some white stuff that’ll go in our cereals, milkshakes and more. If I was an animal activist, this would be animal abuse in my eyes because a cow can’t speak up for itself whenever it wants its udder violated. Whilst I’m assuming that a majority (if not none) of rugby league fans don’t engage in milking a cow, but if you’re drinking milk then you’re supporting this kind of activity.

Perhaps the most ironic thing you’ll see all season on the terraces is someone eating a hot dog whilst engaging in a song about Joel’s activity’s with a dog at the same time. Hot dogs come with Sausage’s that were once part of a living animal. Pigs for example spend a lifetime of misery on some damp farm, just so there can become food for us all. I’m not a vegetarian so I can’t hold much of a moral ground on this one, but who’s to decide which one is worse?

Joel Monohan only made one very silly mistake that he’s unlikely to ever repeat again. However they’ll be people on the terraces that’ll keep on encouraging animal cruelty by drinking milk and eating hot dogs amongst other things. Joel is very ashamed of what he’s done and unfortunately he’s going to get crowds of bullies who are going to exploit that. Short minded and hypocritical bullies that are in a way much worse than him in a sense that Joel has stopped what he did. But these bullies will carry on eating their way through any animal that gets served to them on a plate.

In life you make mistakes and it’s up to you to learn from them. I don’t condone what Joel Monohan did, but I don’t condone the way how many of us eat meat as well.

Keep on trucking Damo

well that wins obscure post of the year (and we are only in January!). Still trying to figure out how you equate carnivore diet and beastiality but I guess you have found a link! As a vegetarian I can say I don't condone either!

Animal abuse is animal abuse in my eyes.

It comes in many forms, but I guess because a majority do one thing, it’s more acceptable than something that not many people do.

Any habits we should know about Damo, you've already admitted eating meat so..........

The point is, people don’t like it when a mirror gets put up in front of them. So they come up with statements like above in an attempt to divert the attention elsewhere. Confronting one person is a lot easier than to confront a group of people. Either way carry this thread on as it was because I was only giving you all something to think about.

Good job I haven't posted my leek obsession on the board yet......
