I can't believe that with the economy the way it is, people would willingly waste perfectly good beer. That is as big a disgrace as anything IMO.I didn't see the referee get anything majorly wrong tbh and I really couldn't understand the frustrations of the Cas crowd. It sounded as though they were fit to riot there and then throughout the second half.

It seems most of the Yorkshire pit towns breeds people with a bit of a chip on their shoulder and go out spoiling for a fight for unjustifiable reasons. I blame Thatcher.

They were throwing it when they played us a few weeks ago as well @ £3 a bottle!!! I wish I could afford to throw it!!!

6 pages and nobody has hit the nail on the head yet.
The match officials were spot on with the decisions but it's still understandable in the heat of the moment how people can get frustrated.
It seems everytime Cas score on a TV game it goes to the Video ref, that looks at every angle frame by frame until they find one frame from one angle that looks dubious and the try is disallowed,while nearly all the Dragon's trys were awarded on the spot.
They had one try disallowed and you saw the reaction from Kevin Walters afterwards booting the chair in front of him, so even opposition coaches get frustrated when only one try gets chalked off.Add to that all the head high tackles and the Rangi Chase penalty,all of which the ref was right but the penalty against Rangi was harsh.The punishment did not fit the crime and i think the RFL should look at maybe changing the rules on that.

But none of that was the reason why, or a excuse for the bottle throwing!
This was the first game this season that Cas sold alcohol on the terraces,probably thinking Catalan don't bring any fans so there won't be any trouble,well they got it wrong ,alcohol and frustrated fans don't mix.
The solution is simple,if we want our sport to keep it's family image then stop selling alcohol on the terraces,SIMPLES!

.....and oh P.S to all the Wakey trolls ,get a loving life you sad sad lovers.

Saturday 6pm = plenty of ale drunk. Simple as that. I always notice a minor element of overly drunk fans at these Saturday kick offs. I've seen it with fellow Wigan fans at Saturday games and Opposition fans aswell. They are probably geniunely good fans normally but the ale turns some people.

When I heard that Castleford fans were fighting I had one thought running through my head.

Lesbians.


After that though I wondered about the Castford fans all fighting. Why didnt someone just separate the two of them?

Could have got that hard Aussie Greg Bird to do it. Oh hang on ..........

What does anyone expect from Cas fans. It's just their frustration at seeing their once promising season well and truly going down the toilet.

Yeah, blame the ref. Does that explain the other 5 recent defeats too? Cas have always had a thug element at the club, probably Airedale estate's finest doleites.

Yes thats correct because there are only Wakey fans commenting on this thread aren't there? Plus a fair few seem to be defending Cas.

But don't let facts get in the way of your little queenie fit!!!

Maybe Ian Henderson was spot on when he described the Castleford culture? Residents of a former mining town in West Yorkshire have rotten teeth, spend too much time drinking and need a bath, an international rugby player has said. In an interview Ian Henderson, a former Bradford Bulls player and New Zealand Warriors hooker, said Castleford was "the worst place" he had lived in. Mr Henderson said "moving there just kills you" and added people "drank themselves silly". In a "Room for Thought" question-and-answer article in Australia's Central Coast Express Advocate newspaper, Mr Henderson was asked for the worst place he had spent any time. He told the paper: "A place in England called Castleford, in Yorkshire, up north in the middle of the country. You've got no idea. "I think that and a town next to it called Pontefract. They rate in the 10 worst towns to live in in England, I've heard it rumoured. "It's dull, always grey, everyone just goes to the pub and drinks themselves silly, there's nothing for young people to do. It's really ugly. "(There are) Too many mush-ohs - 'mates' in Yorkshire - they've got rotten teeth, need a bath, run around drinking, big beer belly, just watch the footie. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/engl ... 688460.stm

Dear god. If that was a "minor" incident, I dread to think what would be a major incident in your eyes.

The fans who did it were a disgrace - no bones about. Are you seriously saying that players laughing after a win deserve that? Or a referee who got lots of decisions correct, which Cas fans were bloody moaning about, deserved to be bottled etc etc?

Come off it. Deluded.
