Quote me 'n' our kid="me 'n' our kid"We as supporters are not responsible for who the board do or don't sign.
Unfortunately it is a reflection on us as the supporters when they do or don't.'"
Why is it?
What Cockayne did had no more to do with me than if he was a colleague at work.

Some people seriously need to start seperating RL (rugby league) from RL (real life) otherwise there's going to be a serious shortage of rocking chairs in years to come.
Does anyone seriously believe that there would have been any real interest in either of these cases if FC and KR weren't involved?
Two drunks in a fight in the west Riding and "just another domestic" wouldn't have caught your eye, especially as HDM wouldn't have done a 4 page spread.
And why didn't they do a 4 page spread on the last poor lass that got beaten by her husband or the young kid on trolley in (insert any town) hospital?
Because they DON'T CARE!
All they care about is 'good copy'. An FC or KR player in the cakc is meat to their gravy. Ditto in other towns i shoudn't wonder
All that's happening now is that Rovers fans are over-reacting to the overly defensive FC fans who overreacted last week to the overly defensive Rovers fans!
Cause and effect!
FC's turn last week, Rovers this.
It's the same way the good banter works: I know full well that as soon as I wind someone up at work it will be only a matter of time before I cop some back because Rovers stuff up for me (Warrington, cheers lads)
Letters to HDM and the RFL, texts and emails to radio humberside, Holier than thou, you're thug's thuggier than our thug etcetera et bleeding cetera
Meanwhile, the world moves on and the rest of the rugby world smiles in amusement as our two clubs fans knock lumps off each other.
I always say good can come from bad and if nothing else it might make people think twice before they jump from their soapbox to their high horse.
Saying that, I won't be holding my breath
