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

Every major decision was correct.
Maybe the Cas fans should learn the rules.
The only debatable one was the video ref cas try which by the letter of the law should have been disallowed. Soo you were one up there.

Because it should have started a long time ago, so making an example out of Cas is only not fair, but could land the RFL in hot water because Sky Sports News has footage of Salford throwing stuff onto the pitch, and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody has pictures too, so if Cas get a fine/points deduction etc, Cas could just gather up this evidence, ask the RFL why Salford weren't fined, and if the RFL again ignore it, they could end up in court.

Pelo was a double movement, and all the high tackles missed all add up to field position and less ball in hand for Catalan so you can't say all major decisions were correct.

all the RFL have to do is bring out a zero tolerance policy and implement it and from that point on just be consistent.

What? People that were actually there?

Or are we just supposed to ha de ha laugh at your anti-Cas fans comedy post? Hmmmmm. Ho ho ho.

No, I'm just going to take with a pinch of salt the opinions of what was largely a group of fans who had clearly been heard to be making drunken, inaccurate remarks all night and who were throwing bottles onto the pitch. Apart from the fact that nobody has backed 'Gaslight' up, that his information was second-hand and the fact that all the posters on the Cas board are saying that the bottle was thrown by a steward. If a Catalans player had thrown a bottle into the crowd, he would have been banned for life. You can't just go round making accusations like that.

a catalans player didn't throw a bottle it is just gaslight spouting tosh for a change, a bottle was thrown back into the crowd but it was a by a steward (equally as shocking) apparently the steward was sacked on the spot

So because I've heard from more then 1 person it was a player it's tosh?

I've also heard a steward threw one and it hit/just missed (depends who you ask) a fan, he was sacked and Wright said nothing else can be done because there's no CCTV.

and where are all these people you've heard it from? your the only cas fan who is saying this and all it looks like to everyone else is you just trying to make an excuse up to keep the spotlight away from some of our idiotic and pathetic fans

Good on Cas for acting so quickly and sacking him on the spot then, hopefully if they manage to identify the people responsible for this they react in the same way and ban them from games.

I think people are going very over the top saying to dock the club points/play a game without a crowd - neither of them are going to stop the idiots doing it in the future.
