Quote ="Rotherham Fev Fan"Incidently 007, not surprisingly I was called a Fat Ginger B'stard by several cas fans on your last visit to Post Office Road. Not that it bothers me and I certainly didn't make any formal complaints to Castleford RLFC.
Just in your opinion, what's the difference between calling someone a "fat ginger b'stard" and a black b'stard??
Genuine question and not aimed at any points scoring excercise.
How do the two compare in your mind???
PS I am in fact - Big, Fat and I have ginger hair!!!'"
In my eyes both wrong,one is said to hurt on a personal level(as in a school bully,which is what those "people" who called you are) the other is used as a discriminatory statement to a persons colour /creed/origin,one is not a criminal offence,the other one is,and no moral high ground with me,if it's wrong,it's wrong,but you can't say that there has been no incident and then say that the club have to be seen to be proactive regarding the incident,btw,I'm 6'1 large and not ginger.
FWIW If I wanted to take the moral high ground I could have quite easily mentioned an incident which involved,allegedly,Featherstone "supporters"2 years ago,I didn't so for you to bring up past indiscretions in its own way is points scoring,Castleford were rightly punished for what happened,it's over,this is the now,and if any CTRLFC "supporters" are found to have been involved in any of the incidents last week,then if it warrants a life ban,then ban them,no grey area.
