Not by me, anyway. I think it's sick to cheer when a player gets injured. I was cringing with embarrassment at our fans' reaction to Newton's concussion.

Nope. We don't do it then, either. We only turn up in numbers for Wire, Wigan and Leeds. And then we spend most of the time shouting 'forward' and hoping for some good biff.

I thought it was pretty amusing, almost slapstick the way he went down, and he wasn't seriously injured and was clapped once he'd received treatment. All credit to the lad though, had this been football he'd never have attempted to rejoin the defensive line.

I don't cheer players going down, and I do clap them if they are taken off the pitch, but all groups of fans have done this kind of thing so I don't see the point of playing the holier than thou card when someone does it to one of ours.

they might have been loud, but i bet the Barrow players were bored less of the constant drone of Barrow, Barrow, Barrow because thats all they sung!


WTF Should they have sung Saints,Saints, Saints

What rugby league fans aren't?

No scrap that, what human males aren't famous for doing that?

Challenge cup Quarter finals for Saint's are as regular as winter, that along with the fact most of them probably thought they would win anyway and decided to save there money.

it was a big occastion for you guys which is why you took so many, the same as it was for us when we took over 1,000 to Cas last year, for us playing super league teams in a competitive game are rare which is why we go to games like that in big numbers

let's be honest here...a lot of our speccies would have thought...oh it's only barrow we are playing...(we always seem to struggle against the lower teams for some reason)...so it probally was a toss up whether to pay a good few quid to go and watch saints or watch the rhino's and pies fighting it out on the box...that is probally one of the reasons for our low turnout.
well played to barrow because this game was like their wembley for them.

Yes pathetic behaviour ,all sts fans are angels?you should take off your your red and white tinted glasses.I shall have a look through past posts and hope to see your complaints against your own fans.

well i think we are all agreed that yes most fans do cheer or clap when an opposition player is apparently injured, however nobody wants it tobe aserious injury, NOBODY wants to see a bad injurry (unless they are a real numpty) however the thing that made me laugh during the injury was the Barrow fan in the stand , the one who got ejected, screaming , literaly screaming at Kyle to get up,, or the physio to get him off the fireld because he was "time wasting?" , he screamed that more than once , as the poor lad was obviously in agony right in front of him, shortly after that he was abusing the fans below him and was ejected

Okay, we couldnt get any complex chants going because of the number of people who it was their first away game, so yeah, we cheared, and yeah we sang "barrow barrow"
We had a good time, and no it is not patronising, its i getting behind the lads.
And If eastmonds injury was serius, ie on a strecher etc . then we would shut up and clap, but we still clapped his twisted ankle of the pitch.

Maybe i was being a little harsh, but theres getting behind the team, singing, and then theres cheering every single tackle you make in the first 20 minutes, it was as if you were shocked that your team were able to make a single tackle. It was your cup final (and thats no disrespect to Barrow), so i suppose it was expected.

It can be serious without needing a stretcher, that should be irrelevant. Its not the fact that fans cheer when a player goes down injured that does my head in, its when they know its a serious injury and they jump up and down shouting 'Get In', like a few Barrow fans did at the side of me.

well ive never seen any of our directors behave like one of yours did yesterday.oh,and ive never seen a saints fan run on the pitch during the match.we all have trouble makers granted,ours seem to be kids in the away end.but its a long time since ive seen the antics of yesterday at knowsley road.the antics of a few idiots,including a director but unfortunetly you will all be tarred with the same brush

A few years ago, a couple of Saints fans went onto the pitch at Wigan. Everyone has their idiots including us.

I have read this thread with a rye smile on my face.........See I have been to many Stains & Wigan derby's and your comments regarding Barrow fans is amusing to say the least. There is a debate going on about what constitutes a serious injury and whether it is appropriate to cheer when a player gets injured right ? Well I ask this, Was it appropriate for the vast majority of ~ 9000 Stains fans to cheer when Lee Mossop got knocked out on Good Friday and then continued to cheer when he tried to gain his feet, bearing in mind that ANY bang to the head is potentially life threatening ? Erm............No I reckon !

Whilst I dont want to appear as if I am condoning the behaviour of a few Barrow supporters I must say I have witnessed some appaling 'Chav like' behaviour from Stains fans for years, so to have a go at some over exhuberent Barrow fans is a little hipocritical to say the least.

Get over it. ALL clubs have the odd numpty and will probably continue to do so !

I witnessed the scenes of some sts fans fighting with stewards and basicly anyone else who wasnt one of them a few years ago in the grand final v leeds,did i think all sts fans are thugs ,no i didnt no one was tarred with any brush in my mind then again i didnt have any blinkers on.

Did you see any of our directors behaving like one of Barrows did yesterday,or is he above criticism.

You see when you supplement stains for Saints I kinda think youve got an axe to grind anyway.
Your hardly impartial are you,jog on.

Not at all and i didnt see it yesterday, if it occured i wouldnt condone it,theres scum bags follow all clubs and i think this moral high ground stand from a few sts fans is a bit pathetic.

Fair do's.

yeah, maybe i was ott, but yeah every team as idiots,
but most of us were okay and so were all of you that i saw,
we had a good day,
see you when we get a franchise

Thats enough said i think, good luck for the rest of the season.

Er when you get that hole of yours orted you might but not until then. Come on its not fit for SL at all.
Its Widnes, Fax then you unless Leigh get that box ticked this season?

Uncle Des is above any criticism, he is the only reason Barrow are where they are - his money!
Barrow fans will call this jealousy - you bet, wish we had a man who will pour his money in, salary cap anybody???
But what happens when Mr Moneybags leaves and he will one day, he is not even a RL fan he is a footy fan, Man U I believe???
Where were these Barrow fans about 4 years ago when we went up there and there was hardly anybody at the ground, yer they were bad but we stuck with our team back in 2003 and 2004.

So you haven`t had any money to spend ?

The Barrow chairman's reactions were disgracefull to say the least. Real mard ass it seems he is for some reason, he must have though this men stood a chance to win? Or maybe he was miffed the bar had shut for the 2nd half ? Very bad taste from the chair.
