Yes, demonstrated by at least three rounds of homophobic chanting towards James Child from what sounded like the whole stand. Classy. And could be expensive.

Pretty clear they meant bent in the context of being biased rather than gay.

Dear oh dear, clutching at straws there. Those twisted knickers chafing dear? Hang on..... naughty Salford haven't been breaking caps, playing too many men, assaulting referees this year, let's fine them and deduct points for some non-existent homophobic chanting.

Even if true .......


What the hell has that got to do with me or my post ?

True, but Eddeh couldn't resist in the 79th minute - ' nobody can come come back from two score down with a minute to go...Not even the Saints!! '

I stopped listening to Phil Clarke a number of years ago when he argued something along the lines of tries pulled back for forward passes would have been scored anyway.

He's just another Sky shock jock with an underlying agenda to create unnecessary controversy.

I think his credibility went with the 'score predictor' that sky allowed him to introduce. What a load of B0ll0x that was.

Correct, his last scrap of credibility dissipated right then.

I realise it's not good for viewing figures if they say "stick a fork in Saints - they're done," but that was a bit of a stretch.

I think he yearns for his one piece of commentary that was memorable for the right reasons - and is always secretly wishing that Saints will give him another opportunity.

To me Phil Clark was a good rugby league player who should never been aloud near a TV station he gets money for nothing

I heard it three times, loud and clear, and it was the word "gay" not "bent" I heard.

Let's see what the match commissioner says.

I don't know where the persecution complex comes from. You did all of those you refer to, as well as start a fight in Huddersfield and invade the pitch at Hull KR, starting brawls with Rovers fans. If Salford have turned angelic, it's a very recent conversion.

Bit pot kettle black after all trouble wakey have had in the crowd in recent times

Like Bent doesn't gay have a couple of uses?? Happy or Gay??

Try a new TV your sound seems to be playing tricks either that or nip into Boots they sell
Otex eardrops. It was clearly bent barsteward

I was at the game funnily enough and it definitely wasn't "gay" so you're just making stuff up now.

I'm not sure booing constantly & screaming "Cheat, cheat, cheat" endlessly counts as crowd trouble though.

I suggest you re-watch the game again as the word "gay" was not used once. I was stood in the South Stand so I should know. I've also watched the game again on Sky+ since.

All those years of in-breeding finally taking their toll eh?

How did this turn into yet another logically fallacious pi$$ing contest about the characteristics of certain fans, as if we're all part of large, hive minded entities when we support our particular clubs?

Well played Salford by the way - your coach appears to have created an actual team - which really shows on the field; defence is always a sign of a group of players commitment to each other, and it was outstanding last night.

Only heard "the referee's a you-know-what", "CHEAT CHEAT" and "you're not fit to referee". All the old favourites when it comes to James Child.

Clarkey doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the box.

I must admit, I did pause and rewind, at a point when he gave Saints a dubious pen or scrum I thought I heard chants of "You gay bar/pub landlord/steward" on 55mins it was.

Phil Clarke is very clever, but he is not as clever as he thinks he is and always tries too hard to come across as cleverer than he is.

Maybe not the sharpest but he most definitely does come across as a tool.

To be fair, there wasn't much distracting on the pitch. One of the most boring games I've had to watch for a while. Compare and contrast with Leeds v Wigan tonight!

Maybe you want to try going to a game then ? aren't you just an armchair fan ?

That said I think you might be right I thought Saints were rag-tag at best
