errrm................ Its a coherent argument based upon a broad understanding of offensive. Is the ref a winker? I would guess so as he's male (natural action), is jammer ginger (yes) is he fat, he's certainly a big chap. The difficulty with your argument is that homophobia is legislated against and generally abhorent to all, as were being Ginger is a naturally occurring phenomenon and not offensive per se, in fact it can be very attractive to some.

=#8000FFAnd to others it is a target for hate crimes, such as bullying and people getting forced out of their homes because of abuse etc. The chant, although light hearted (like we can see you holding hands

), but according to the RFL, are offensive, and the basis of the argument is did Leeds try and stop the chanting? No, so they are in the same boat as Cas (there is also a bullying law the RFL have, which covers both ginger and obese)

ITS SATURDAY NIGHT GO OUT AND GET DRUNK U FOOL(GASLIGHT)OR ARE U ALREADY DRUNK TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO ARGUE WITH U ABOUT A FOOLISH TOPIC

=#8000FFSounds like you're the drunk one

and not trying to argue, these are simple facts based on what has happened.

1) There were announcements to try and stop foul and abusive language.
2) The to55ers that cheered when Eastmond and Pryce got injured need a lesson teaching to them.
3) Grow a pair and get on with it.

well he should never of stuck two fingers up at us at the galpharm challenging cup semi he deserves it he dint get done for that and i would normally clap an injured player off but with pryce i dnt care he should b in jail

People get forced out of their houses for being ginger? In that case I unreservedly apologise!

Gaslight get a life FFS!!

What a toool.

For a change, I agree with all of that.

For once? Cheeky git!

Does this include the sign language given by jammer after saints scored the first try, disguising it by running his fingers through his hair, pot 7 kettle me thinks

The chants aimed at Jammer were not unexpected. He said himself in the press he was expecting it and it doesn't bother him. It probably fires him up even more. What is annoying however is that when Saints are on TV at a home match we get called by many clubs for chanting at the ref etc. Yet tonight once again and at the Wire match last week their respective fans are equally as bad.

Typical smalltown Cas fan with a chip on his shoulder.
I bet after Cas were fined he was sat with his ear to the TV speaker tonight because Leeds were on listening for the 1st sign of abusive chanting. At that point he started his stopwatch.
I agree the cheering of injured players is not on but it was not everyone who joined in. Indeed when Eastmond regained his feet there was a lot of applause from the southstand.

we need to start looking at our own fans too.

I had to leave the area early after the chants of golly and c**n aimed at the Leeds player in front of us, made me want to hit someone.

=#8000FFNot really, it was that clearly audible it was almost drowning out the commentary, no chip on my shoulder just wanting equality within the league, something I'm sure you can't comprehend.




=#8000FFThat is ridiculous

You should have reported them.

I threatened to do that at Knowsley Road when some halfwit, sawdust for brains was calling Meli racist names. He hasn't stood near me since! He knew damn well that if he opened his gob I'd make sure he got into the biggest trouble possible, the little piece of excrement that he was.

So can i take it you will be listening for abusive chanting at every game you watch either live or on TV in future and then starting a thread on the relevant forum with the RFL contact details?

=#8000FFIf it means equality for entire league then yes, making an example out of one team and then not bothering with it again is ridiculous and borderline corruption, in fact if no action is taken against Leeds and the Cas appeal is rejected the RFL leave themselves wide open to a lawsuit.

Quote ="Gaslight"=#8000FFAfter setting the precedent in midweek in regards to offensive & abusive chanting and controlling the crowd in regards to that matter, I am here to ask all Saints fans to email the rfl (enquiries@rfl.uk.com) and let them know your feelings on how all punishments should be equal as the Leeds club clearly failed to try and stop the chanting (aimed at James Graham & Richard Silverwood) so using this as the new bar the RFL have set for themselves, Leeds should be receiving a fine.'" oh dear you bin calling the mighty wire tanky for years, get over it you muppet

I heard no Homophobic chanting at Headingley tonight so how exactly would the RFL be not bothering with it again?

Would "You got bummed in the showers" not be classed as homophobic abuse? Also from Saints fans, of which i have been ashamed of today

Yes, as a Leeds fan, I was appalled by that. I dislike both players intensely, but that was well out of order.
