can't say i'm surprised by your reply...... so you think it was okay for those foul mouthed yobs to threaten me and my family.......I'm glad there are some decent people who go to games who realise their behaviour was unacceptable and especially the head steward who commended me and ejected the so called yob. It may be a generation thing or even upbringing that makes certain people accept behaviour that has no place in society.

generation? Every generation swears, people in every social class swear, wigan saints/wire will always supercharge the fans and the swearing gets a bit worse on the days but I think its an over reaction this thread. How long is it since we played at central park? The language and actions from fans was far worse there than it is at the DW and no one complained then.

I have condoned nothing, except non-violence. If they threatened you and your family there are better (non-violent (that the RFL Respect Policy condones)) ways to deal with it. You could have reported them to the stewards and had them ejected. Your self-satisfied tone suggests that at the very least you enjoyed hitting him.

To blame your reaction on your armed forces training is the height of disrespect too. In my experience armed forces personnel are calmer and less inclined to violent acts than their civillian counterparts.

You think smacking someone is acceptable? I've never said being abusive is acceptable but I do find violence much more offensive.and in front of his daughter. What an example to set.

I suppose when everything is rosy in the garden, we have to find something to get upset about, but please... this is getting out of hand.
