| Quote ="Dave T"The precedent is that the RFL have fined a club for their fans making offensive chants. In the GT case it was homophobic chants, but that doesn't mean that is all the RFL will fine clubs for, or that Smith is comparing this to homophobic chants at all. I'm baffled as to how you have come to that conclusion yourself.
Have you really written to the RFL?
FWIW, I can't see that there would be too many offensive chants, as the majority I have seen and heard so far are humorous rather than offensive.'"
But it is not a precedent.
The cases are not comparable. If Monaghan were black and he was being subjected to racial abuse then the Thomas case might well be a precedent since it also concerns discriminatory abuse.
The only relevance Thomas case can have to Monaghan is to show that the RL has taken action under its procedures against abuse. The circumstances are very different, it simply isn't a precedent.

It hasn't taken a nasty turn at all you utter dullard.... I hinted that maybe due to your interest in this topic you could well be a homosexual.
What's wrong with that?

Nothing. Unless he sees homosexuality as a bad thing and is offended. In which case he is a hypocrite

I'm offended by irrelevant references to sexual orientation (especially when put in the way they were). Why should whether or not I'm gay be an issue?

Strange how this panned out.... He goes activley looking for this subject matter on other forums... And then he thinks things have turned nasty when gently quizzed on his own sexuality...
Deano - it's not an issue if you're gay or not... So kindly stop making it into one.

So only gay people take an interest in these issues? Is that what your saying? Or are you saying I'm over sensitive so I must be gay? Why bring my sexuality into this at all?

I didn't. You did. And it wasn't a gentle quizzing, though even that would have been offensive.

Its possible to be offended by something like that without seeing homosexuality as wrong you know.
He could be offended because he sees it as offensive to use something like that as deragatory. Obviously noone from Wire has the intelligence to understand this.
It's like if someone calls you a "girl" you may be offended but its not because you think that girls are wrong is it?
