I'm reliably informed that was a sledgehammer approach to witnessing some rather unsavoury jokes at the expense of people of another race and colour which were disappointingly allowed to remain unchallenged for a while. It served to highlight hypocrisy.

I'm guessing it's not dissimilar in approach to supporting a picture of Phil Clarke and mocking his neck injury on the Wigan board in order to highlight hypocrisy.

Yes?

Yes it was. A very similar situation.

But similarly highlights your hypocrisy in criticising Leeds fans for their attitude to Clarke in that when you were offended by 'a joke' that you found offensive you went much much further in your attempts to offend to prove your point.

How can you criticise the Leeds fans mocking of Clarke for finding his 'joke' offensive, when your attitude to a 'joke' you found offensive resulted in you making the Holocaust joke you made?

Indeed, I did assume all along your recent contributions were more to with an obsession with some AP character rather than any issue even remotely significant. Thanks for the clarification.

That really is a pathetic attempt

but it is only an RL forum, ill let you slink away with a little dignity.

Though if you are ever man enough to answer the question I would genuinly be interested to hear it.

Bottler.

That would be a shame....

It's a damn shame the 'TV Gods' can't strike Phil down with flu for this weekend for been such a cr4p presenter

Very sensible.

His jumping up and down in anticipation of seeing Wigan play could ruin the turf.

Aye, it smells of 'missed opportunity'

Bottling pie eater.

Talks the talk but won't man up on pitch side.

I hope I bump into him pre-match.

I just hope the Rugby Gods don't tell me to do evil things.

I suspect the pie's prodigal son will be doing the link from the BBC studios, rather than risk showing his face anywhere near Headingley.

I'm curious.....this Tuggles thing.....is it an oblique reference to your own particular little peccadillo?

Type "f78" and you will see my place of work

Tuggles is a daft Nickname, an extention Tug Wilson.

You do realise that he works for SKY; so is unlikely to be spending much time in the BBC studios during the match? Do you make mistakes like that deliberately to get a reaction?

To be honest as stupid as Clarke's comments were; it would be even stupider for him to go pitch side before the match. There will be enough tension in the stands pre-match and all it would do is wind the Leeds fans up - and if they were to react by throwing things or (heaven forbid) something worse, then it will be the club that pays the penalty. Cas were fined for chanting homophobic insults at a player - I dread to think how the RFL would react if a club's fans targeted one of the games paymaster's employees and actually caused him physical injury.

My God this board has gone to the wall, the hate and fury against Phil Clarke is borderline neurotic, its a game of Rugby League FFS.

Luckily once again I have come to save the day, I'm here till after the GF so sit back, relax and remember no small animals or children have been harmed by by Mr Clarke, at least not that I know of anyway.

Wow, you're clocking up some air-miles.

You ain't wrong, luckily I can afford it.

This time the wife and kids are with me which makes the whole thing a bit of a nightmare as the kids like the UK, friends and stuff.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

As long as the club launch an immediate enquiry into the incident and issue a lifetime ban for any perpetrator from the stadium then the RFL would take no further action if the recent precedent set at the KC Stadium is followed.

Not that I would encourage or expect any such incident to occur in the first place.

You have a huge dong.

What happened at Hull? Goal posts go walkies?
