So how many "proper" fans have shopped these idiots then?

how many of them have the faintest idea who it was?

Small change in reality. Hardly a deterrent.

Should deduct enough points to drop you out of the play offs, that would be a harsher punishment. Might make these "fans" think twice next season.

Deduct points?

It was unsavoury and wrong, but nobody got hurt, nobody died, no property was destroyed and nobody has required trauma counselling as a result.

Cas have had their card marked and been punished as a result and I don't see the need in blowing it out of proportion.

I was stood watching from the side of the ground and could see loads of people in that area, but didn't have a clue who had done the throwing. You would have thought the stewards on the field would have had the best view.

I would understand that more if you were playing a high profile team where a lot would turn up just for a pint an craic....but I cant see why 'non proper' fans who turn up in numbers and cause chaos in a game like this......you'll be blaming us lot next

at our ground. Under our stewarding and groundcontrol. Are you asking the RFL to fine us for that as well?

But weren't Queens up for incidents at Doncaster?

So no-one who went that day - a smallish crowd with few away fans - has been able to identify a single guilty person? Even those stood next to them?

I find that hard to believe.

I was able to identify the teenage "fan" who kicked my wife on our visit to Cas and point them out to the stewards, so amazing that no-one else can.

So yes, lots of "fans"are complicit in this.
