Not whatsoever condoning what may have gone on down at Cas. However, two seasons ago similar happened in Perpignan, when they actually beat us, yet felt hard done by from the ref. Nothing was mentioned of that at the time.

So a couple of chavs get Cas into bother...but when Wakefield fans threw stuff onto the pitch at Cas they got let off, when they chased the ref off the pitch they got let off. When Leeds fans littered the pitch in bottles, they got let off...Catalan players mocking Cas fans (which started the throwing according to people in the WRE) get let off, the Catalan player that threw a bottle back and hit a fan gets let off...but yeah typical RFL make an example out of Cas ala McGoldrick getting banned for something Fozzard gets away with every week

Or how about when Salford fans threw bottles and a FLAIR onto the pitch at the Jungle, narrowly missing the in goal judge and Richard Owen, nothing said about that either.

Its a shame as it has already happend with cas this season already. When briscoe went over at craven park against them a bottle was thrown onto the pitch. I no its a very small minority but i have seen it at lots of games, the funnniest 1 was seeing a kr fan throw a program at a linesman

So if there is a problem it is someone else who has caused it?

Since when has a referee been responsible for any player or spectator?

What would like them to do?

Wipe their backsides if they go to the loo?

Buy them a pint if they are thirsty?

Smooth the players furrowed brows when they drop the ball, miss a tackle, stand off side etc., etc..

No the answer is the people who caused the problem are people who limited intelligence who probably think society owes them everything and they owe society nothing.

And it's DEFINITELY not their fault no matter what happens.

It's about time they took PERSONAL responsibility for their actions and suffer the subsequent reactions.

I think in your haste to demonstrate your superior wit you have missed my point. Allow me to reiterate it.
People get annoyed for a reason. In this case it was because they felt the referee was not being as fair as he should be (i.e not going to the video ref for debatable tries, not being consistent with offsides, allowing a number of high tackles with no real sanction).
The referee's actions influence people. If he had been seen to be more consistent, people would not have been frustrated.

Again, before you jump in with a load of nonsense about how I am condoning the crowd reaction, I'm not. It was unacceptable. What I am saying is human beings react to events with emotion.
Event - rubbish ref
Emotion - anger
Result - aggression

PMSL

Were these the same fans who were shouting for non-existent offences all night? Also have you got any evidence that a Catalan player threw a bottle at a fan? Because that is a very serious allegation and I seriously doubt that it is true.

Talk about a dummy spit. Also have you got any evidence that a Catalan player threw a bottle at a fan?

Apart from the person it hit and many people in the WRE?

If the camera in that stand Sky put there was still rolling at the time that would have picked it up.

Dummy spit? so stating facts is now a dummy spit?

Yeah the fans shouldn't have thrown the bottles - but why should Cas suffer when plenty of other teams have got away with far worse?

so if someone gets away with murder the police should stop all murder investigations?

No but what's worse, a few bottles or a good 50+ bottles, bog roll and flair?

As I said in my edited post, that is not a credible source
