of course smith believes there is a precedent....good lord.

the precedent being abuse overstepping a mark.

Quote: Tony Smith "If it's good fun then fair enough, but if it goes overboard there are rules and regulations'"


Quote: Tony Smith "
Rugby League will not tolerate racist,
sexist or homophobic abuse or
harassment of any type in the game from
players (young or old) or volunteers or
spectators involved in the game
.'"


its really not that hard a thing to grasp.

Not sure why it's so difficult to understand... I'll try yet again...

Being gay is not a bad thing.

Monaghan's behaviour was.

Saying that the way the RL dealt with abuse relating to Thomas is a precedent for Monaghan's case could lead people to believe that a comparison is being drawn between the subject matter.

Not sure why you have an issue with clarifying that the only reason Smith mentioned the Thomas case (if he did, if not then he should make it clear he did not) was to show that there is a disciplinary procedure.

Given the homophobia in certain sections of the game that was exposed in the Thomas case I would have expected all decent RL fans to be very sensitive to the need not to cause further offence. Clearly this is not a priority for you and others on this board.

I'm not going to waste anymore of my time on replying to you... you can plainly see that smith made no direct reference to the thomas case...

I could quote smith directly again... but what's the point... you're hell bent on getting someone to deny something that was quite obviously never said.

so no... this clearly isnt a priority to me and others on this board... and if its a priority for you in your life, then i think you should get some new ones.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg



Has anyone got any spare molehills? I'm collecting them in the hope of creating a large mountain out of them.

LOL no dig at you pal, I get your point. It's a storm in a tea cup but Monaghan will get ribbed mercilessly (as we would ensure if he played for Wigan/Saints/Anyone in SL) and nothing Smith will say will stop it or get it stopped by the RFL. All it's done is draw more attention to it.

It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg



Quote: Deano G "The problem with the article is the comment by the writer that Smith believes there is a precedent he can use to silence abusive fans.

I don't believe that Smith drew a comparison between the two, but the writer uses the word "precedent". A quick trip to an online dictionary gave this definition of that wordvery different. Given the problems the game has had relating to homophobia I doubt the RFL will be pleased to see this kind of story - it's obvious that all leading figures in the game should be very careful about what they say on the Thomas case and if they are misquoted or wrongly quoted or the article doesn't reflect their views, as I'm sure is the case here, they should set the record straight immediately.

I think it would be best for Smith, Warrington and the game if a clarificatory statement could be issued by the club/Smith making it clear that Smith did not compare the two situations and if he did refer to the Thomas case in the interview it was merely to point out that there is a disciplinary procedure for abusive chanting. Wire fans can stick their heads in the sand if they want. As I Wigan fan, if we were in the same situation I would want Madge and the club to clarify what was said right away.'"


Will Madge clarify Amos Roberts saying that the new shirt is "gay" ?
