Anything bad.....Charlie to blame!

Quote: J.T "It's good to know that Hull fans are holding up the moral integrity of Rugby League. It must have been very time consuming giving Sean long grief when he played for you given his dubious past. In fact I'm surprised Hull fans ever have time to support their team given the number of dubious characters we have knocking around in Super League.'"

Well done for completely missing my point. For some reason people are thinking that me giving a reason for the abuse is me giving an excuse for it.
The publicity that the Cockayne case got in Hull, and the lack of any actual justice that was given to his victim, means he will always be the centre of attention for Hull fans. It would be the same in any other area. Pryce got plenty after his misdemeanour's.

Quote: J.T "For what it is worth I am no fan of Cockayne and would have preferred him not to have come to our club but then as I have already said our club and the sport long crossed what I would see as the moral line regarding player behaviour so that's what we have to live with. '"

Well at least someone has finally said it. I was disgusted the other year when we tried to sign Stuart Reardon and glad it fell through. A signing attempted on the same day we launched a campaign again domestic violence. Only our old board, eh!

Quote: J.T "Why should any player have to put up with the sort of grief Cockayne got yesterday and not then be able to celebrate and give a bit back when the tables are turned?'"

Because it's his job to show respect and tolerance as part of being a professional sportsman?

Quote: J.T "I mean if we are taking the moral high ground then most Hull fans should have been removed from the ground before kick off given their foul and abusive chanting towards Ganson as he warmed up, it is a family game after all...'"

You're probably right, and again I don't condone this (something that people seem to misinterpret me as condoning for some reason even though I keep making this perfectly clear), although to say "most" is a bit OTT.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people that take banter too far. I think most of the chanting towards Ganson was more "pantomime" than anything, but again their were the idiots that took it too far. You didn't see him coming over to give the Hull fans loads after the game, did you?

Players have more responsibility, MUCH more responsibility, than fans (it's US that pays to see THEM at the end of the day). It shouldn't be tolerated by either, but the spotlight will always shine more on the players than the fans as they're the ones that get paid and their the ones that have the most influence. And before someone misinterprets what I've said AGAIN, I AREN'T CONDONING EITHER!
