Peter Roe is a sad waste of human oxygen. We was intimidated by the fev mob from midday a friend of mine was in tears because she felt so intimidated. No place for these yobs in our game.

We are Champions you know?



Even the unfortunate events of Sunday would do well to take the gloss of that day for most. It's only because it is still fresh in the memory. In a year or 2's time [imost[/i will simply look back at it as the day we became Champions.

i could have coached the team to promotion that year.

Sorry mate,somebody is on a Life Support Machine!!! I rest my case on that one....everyone i know feels sick...end of

Aye, and everyone on here and beyond has shown both sympathy and concern. Everyone I know however are still over the moon we actually won and don't want to let the cretins that tried to ruin the day, ruin it. I'm sure when Mr Singer does make a full recovery the last thing he will want is for people to constantly remind him it was the day he was attacked, but the day his team became champions. I'm sure he'll remember the other bad part of that day quite well forever.

Strange thing I know but I need your help.
I use Microsoft Word. When I type Peter Smith or Peter Jones or Peter anything, MSWord accepts it without question, however when I type Peter Roe MSWord underlines the word Peter in red and spell check only offers the word Penis as an alternative. Does anyone else have this problem?

No, sorry. I use OpenOffice.

Just had a reply from My Gration:

Hello

Thank you for this.

I will forward to my editor..balance is important and I am only sorry
that our sports team were not at the event..but that is another story.

I was not working at the weekend so I have only just come into this...I
will investigate

Best wishes Harry

What planet are you on? there was no fighting in the south stand
The police charged into the Fax fans and started dragging people out, but lets not let the truth get in the way eh.
This was a tragedy waiting to happen, the person who started the fire is no way blameless, he racketed the tension up a couple of notches, as did the fax fans goading the Fev fans on the pitch, the fev fans trying to get on the pitch added to it. The Fax fans battling amongst themselves, after all this why the hellll did the police let all the fans leave the stadium at the same time, in the same dark car park, with no police precence. There is plenty of blame to be thrown around, i just hope the lad pulls through

So you think the police charging in to drag fax fans out, the arsonist who tried to burn the stand down equates to only 1%, fair play to you

You tool, theres been a thread on this so you should have seen it with the amount of time you've spent on here...

[urlhttp://viewtopic.php?f=15&t=472697[/url

Only Rovers fans could half kick someone to death and then sit back and pollish their halos. I was sat in the north stand with my wife and you could quite clearly see the Police dragging Rovers Fans out of the south stand way before the fire even started.

It was also quite clear that before many of the Fax fans had even got onto the pitch, the Rovers fans were surging at the line of stewards and police. How you can blame others for your own diabolical behaviour is beyond me.

That Halo must be mighty heavy.

23-22. Now go dig some coal for the offseason.

I have never kicked or half kicked anyone to death,
The halo is yours, read the threads and the Halifax fans refusal to accept there fans part in all of this is unreal. The attempt to burn the stand down, the goading on the pitch, ow i forgot we called you wnkrs, the police charging in your stand dragging folk out. This was there for the world to see, you are far from blameless in a shocking day

23-22, thats one fact, Halifax RLFC are the Champions of the Co-Operative Championship 2010 that's another fact and finally 22-4 up and you screwed it up, thats another fact

Oh I'm sorry where my eyes lying to me and was everyone else who sat in the North stand watching your abysmal behaviour and commentating on how terrible it was wrong too. Did I imagine the idiot who abused my wife and I when we left the stadium too.

If I have no idea of the facts, please enlighten me on why the police had to enter the south stand and remove individuals.

You sir are a complete idiot, crawl back to your own board and play with the children.

I don't recall one Halifax fan being dragged out of the West Stand before the evacuation

There were atleast 2 Fev fans that had to go after we scored our 1st try as we all started chanting 'throw them out'.

As I mentioned on another thread. Why are people trying to work out who goaded who first? Christ on a bike, of the 100's of sports games i've been to there's rarely been a game where there wasn't goading or banter, if every Halifax fan came on to the pitch and one-by-one stuck the middle finger up at Fev, that's not a good enough reason to charge down to start a fight.

Just stick one back up at us. Have these people got no self-control. Nevermind that not ALL Halifax fans did do that (clearly some were) but none wanted a chuffing fight.

Out of all the photos I have here, all the ones of Fax fans are them smiling and waving at Fev fans etc (as i say, some still stuck the finger up, but not a constant enough stream to clearly be caught on camera). The one's of Fev fans are slightly different though.




Truth? You lot can't handle the truth.

The fev fans reacted the way they did becuase of the pathetic tannoy system, nobody head that there was a fire and thought it was a pitch invasion. The Halifax fans reacted the way they did because of the reaction of the Fev fans. Can people please stop merging a few incidents into one massive riot. It could quite easily be much worse if the Police and Stewards weren't there to stop the Fev fans from getting onto the pitch.

I only saw one piece of violence the entire day and that was the assault on David. I spent four hours in pubs around the ground with Fev fans and there was nothing but good banter. Thats what I will choose to remember.

Strange, one minute your post says



Then when you are proven wrong you change it to



Did it take you 3 hours to think this up, why not just post again, why try and mislead by completely changing your post.

You're a strange little boy.

I dont think anyone has ever said fax fans were all angels, i was on the pitch with everyone else, im sorry we didnt have a guitar and couldnt muster up Come by Yar or All you need is love

They wouldnt let me in with one.
The general point people are making is that nobody deserves to be assaulted for supporting a team, some people that were drunk and disorderly were ejected from different stands supporting different clubs, someone misplaced a tab end, the Police, Fire and Ambulence services dealt with incidents, all of which happen in normal daily life somewhere in our country, people like Peter Roe should choose their words and tone more carefully in what is a highly sensitive issue when someone is lying stricken in Hospital. Journalists and Editors generally want to sell papers, lets not let facts get in the way of a good story now.

Peter who...?

What a load of utter garbage.
So YOU KNOW the fire was deliberate do you? Not some cig end thrown near some cardboard that was seen on fire maybe by accident? (yer okay they should not have been smoking in a no smoking stadium but loads were doing it at Wembley at half time this year and I have smelt smoke in lots of other 'no smoking' stadiums in the toilets) Lets see what the stadium or police/fire services say when they have done their investigations shall we? I don't know exactly what happened but why would somebody do it deliberateley we were only 12-4 down at the time?
The Fev fans DID run towards the Fax fans as soon as we went onto the pitch and it was after that that a few of our fans started a bit of 'goading' which was chanting Halifax and stuff in the Fev fans direction, hardly reason to threaten us with violence like they did.
My mate noticed that the Fev stand had lots of stewards in front of it not long after the game had kicked off, notice none were in front of our stand in the first half only after we got moved to the other end??? At the end of the game some Fev fans made a point of flashing V signs and other stuff at us over in the corner of your stand on their way out and being very aggressive, good job there was a policewoman there and steward to prevent them getting any nearer.
Letting fans out at the same time??? You may not have noticed but most Fev fans had left when we were celebrating our win (who would blame them I don't) okay some stayed early on to applaud their team but ALL had gone after 10 minutes or so, we stayed for about 15 to 20 minutes as you do when you have WON!
So it was a surprise to me when we got back to the DHL car park that a few Fev coaches were still there and even more of a surprise that some had Fev fans hanging around outside their coaches and BELIEVE me they had one thing in mind, to threaten the Fax fans, it was very intimidating and I have been to some football away games so I have seen this before and it was just like that. I was told by a Fev fan to put my flag away as there were some Fev fans that would have a go if I didn't - FACT.
You saying why did the police let us all out together and not have police in the coach park proves to me that you have doubts about your own fans, I agree there should have been police there but normally RL fans get along and have no problem, like last year against Barrow this is not football!
Nah SOME Fev fans did not take losing very well and sadly one of our fans has suffered as a result.

That just about sums it up for me the stewards were not just in front of the Fev stand either they were in it. It kicked off in the Fev stand before the fire as there were tannoy calls asking for Fev supporters to cooperate and get off the yellow sections the police moved in then.The Fev stand soon emptied after thematch as there was hardly anybody in the stand to watch their own team collect their medals. Well for that matter even the players couldn`t be bothered to collect them either only 4 or 5 came up to begin with the other few were brought from the dressing room in various states of undress eg no boots, no socks and boots no shirt. The others I don`t think came up at all.
I have every sympathy with Fev fans we lost last year too but we never had the problem with the Barrow fans we shook hands with many and told them they deserved the win. I was disgusted with what hapened on Sunday and to try to excuse the intimidation of Fax fans all day and the beating up of a nice lad( who has a job where he saves lives)by blameing the lack of policing is just sick.
