I believe the incident being referred to happened in a Doncaster v Runcorn fixture at Tattersfield (but time does play tricks). IIRC it was really more a slap than an attack (not that it makes it any less wrong).

Their headline says it all IMO ... Fighting Leeds fans halt cup clash

The yellow card incidents were:

40min - Queens 12 - Persistant High Tackle (3rd offence)
54mins - Queens 15 - Dissent

Has anyone got the line outs for both teams? I have been unable to find them anywhere.

Thanks

there's alot of rubbish going around in this thread isn't there.

If queens do get thrown out of the competition like a lot of you are saying the surely doncaster should be too. the queens fans wasn't fighting themselves.

They're in both the rugby league papers from Monday. I'll dig one out in a while.

Are you talking from the point of view of actually witnessing the incidents? If you are, you must know that even before the fighting broke out, the behaviour of those from Queens was likely to lead to something like this. If you are not, how do you arrive at your conclusion?

Queens should be thrown out but even if the RFL don't take a stance that strong the next option would be to allow the result to stand (more than 60 minutes having been played).

If you really think this situation wasn't created by followers of Queens ARLFC, then either you weren't at the game or you are burying your head in the sand.

It was not fighting ! MORONS from Leeds attacked men (not one of them under 40 I may add) in front of them, this was an affray and should be treated as one.

who in their right mind would start a fight with odds of 30 to 1, "get real"

I heard a story once about a little bit of a scuffle at Tattersfield, Parky was on the pitch but still managed to sort out the trouble in the crowd and carry on playing. Don't know how true it is, but what happened to those days???

Sounds about right.

I can remember an incident vividly from the Tattersfield days. 2 blokes had had a few sherberts too many and started fighting amongst themselves, at half time. It was more handbags as they had had a few. Parky was not playing but was watching the match. He trotted across the pitch to resolve the situation, which he did and got a cheer for his troubles.

Was that the incident where Andy Timpson gave Cogger a real going over, both on the pitch and behind the stand a bit later ?

Queens are spreading the story around Leeds that they reacted to racist abuse directed at some of their staff. Drunken, cowardly thugs who are not man enough to admit the truth. Most people in Leeds know what Queens are.

Its called protecting yourself from mindless stupid idiots, people will not stand there and get assaulted.

And lets throw in the race card, my wife and three children who are of Ethnic origin, who follows the Dons and has followed them for a good few years and stands in the main fans area, and also my son playing in the Dons academy for three season has never experienced anything from our fans.
But when all else fails throw in the race card.

And i was at the ground to witness the beer fueled morons who seemed hell bent on causing trouble from the kick off.
