Sorry totally missed this post.
Good thinking that man.

| Just watched the footage on youtube and saw the stuff on tv yesterday.
Shameful scenes that you rarely even see at football games thesedays.
The RFL should do the decent thing and dock Widnes points NOW.

| I am still raging with what happened yesterday. But what exactly could Widnes as a club have done differently to prevent it happening? I thought the stewards were weak and not overly proactive and the police were quite slow in showing up. If the game was at Widnes, then Widnes as a club should be held 100% accountable. I respect that James rule (is it?) Is being proactive about wanting names and such. But I don't really know how punishing Widnes as a club will prevent it happening again?!

| All clubs have some sort of unruly following usually tanked up angry teenage hot-heads, of which my club has quite a few!
What was worrying here was the vast majority were grown men, late twenties through to forties. These lot need to arrested, put up before the magistrates and then named (with mugshot) and shamed in the local papers for all to see.
Lifetime bans need to be handed out and each one prosecuted at least.
I would then like all Rugby League clubs to issue a statement (via the RFL) to their own fans to show that similar behaviour will not be tolerated with similar punishments given.
Widnes will recover from this (as long as they have been seen to have done something). Banter aside I've always taken pride in following 'the family game', I need to feel re-assured that I can take my two lads to away games without fear both inside and outside the grounds. It's up to Widnes to make that possible.

| I really do feel today for all the true supporters of Widnes, because of a few idiots no sorry morons, their good name of themselves and their club is being dragged through the mud..although I am really annoyed mostly because my friend Sallie was injured by one of these people but also because the Tigers Players and fans we were no allowed to celebrate and it spoilt what had been an excellent day...the true fans you are a credit to your team and I hope you are not made to suffer because of these prats .....I sincerely hope the these people are named and shamed

Every club has its share of morons. Our morons are thicker morons than anybody else's morons.
Castleford played very well, took their opportunities and found out every chink in our armour.

This was not a league game, it was a Challenge Cup semi final.

A certain former international player and coach has tweeted that he recognised about 15 of the troublemakers but will do nothing to help Widnes Vikings.
Some sour grapes methinks.

Why would sour grapes extend to not naming people who have put RL in trouble?

It's true. He also played for yourselves but to clarify, he said he would do nothing to help the club, i.e. Widnes but if the Stadium (Select Security I assume) asked for help, he would.

That hardly narrows it down much.
I'm sure the majority can be identified via social media anyway.
