^^^^^^^^^^^

? Why ?

The same arguments would get put forward whoever it would have been.
Unfortunately it was Leeds, unfortunately we have some numpties who were present at GT's first away game.

Aaaah that's where we we went wrong....
If we had history with GT any abuse would have been tolerated...
Just looking for that clause in the Respect policy but I can't find it.
People please realise this is not an anti Leeds campaign by Cas fans, you were just heard first on the Sky and we are waiting to see which way the RFL will go.
A satisfactory outcome for me would be to drop the fine and overturn what has happened at the tribunal swapping it for a stern public warning and some common sense and a more concerted drive to rid the numpties and educate people from schools up like is occuring now but more widespread and possibly more RFL involvement.

No, if a player with no reputation or history had received the 'fat ginger b*stard' chants before the game had kicked off, then it could possibly have been claimed that this was victimisation. If the Saints fans had started chanting that Ryan Bailey (a player with history there) was a n*gger, then that would obviously not be acceptable. What the Cas fans did would be akin to making racist chants to someone like Michael Worrincy before the game had kicked off.

When Dwain Chambers came Cas took him round the schools on a drug education push, is the same happening with GT at crusaders?

No, why would he? To educate children on the dangers of being a homosexual?

Yes, he could warn them to stay away from Michael Barrimores swimming pool!

Lol naughty !
Do feel Mr Thomas could generate a more positive response and enable kids in particular a better understanding of homosexuality in general if he was to follow in the footsteps of Mr Chambers if he was to spend half the time hes given the press in schools.

Hi to all and sorry to jump into the conversation, new member to the forum and after reading through most club sections figured this was a good place to start on here.

I have posted on the Leeds forum thread regarding a few points on this issue both last night and this morning as they seem a tad unhappy with us at present but they dont seem to want to talk to me (have a quick look - seem to be happy to dig but not to involve themselves in conversation) !

As i say hi to all and i hope to join with you in discussing and if able helping when / where possible

There always like that on the leeds board, not interested in any sort of conversation that doesnt involve saying they are the best rl team ever blah blah blah, hudds board is getting that way.

If you want to talk about rugby wakefield, quins and hull (fc) boards are better.

Had to respond on the Leeds board after reading one poster state anyone who sent a letter regarging there issue with James Graham to the League Express needed 'a good slap'
Wish i hadn't bothered in a way as i seem to have killed the thread or at least brought it to a halt.
Now ill find ive spoke too soon and expect a barrage of insults to follow later in the day lol !

It will be interesting to see how many letters there are in the League Express about a section of the Hull fans quite audibly singing 'Die Die Cookey F*cking Die' last night...

Not a bright thing to do is it ? It's not the first time a song of that nature about a player has been heard sadly. We'll have to see as to what, if anything, happens after that chant towards Cooke.
