Not that I am condoning what happened here.
But how do you know it was aimed at Lauaki?
Was he stood on his own when it was thrown?
Who are you his mother?
As stated previously this sort of thing should not happen at a Rugby match or any match for that matter.
Let`s hope the idiot gets banned for life.
But I am getting a bit sick of all this protection over this one bloke.

No, one Leeds 'fan' in the incident you quote didn't behave well and indeed was ejected from the stadium. There were several Leeds fans who also did not behave well close to the East Stand and indeed I saw one missile fly from the North Stand to the East Stand but saw several thrown the other way.

The issue here is about the Hull club now taking charge of the situation and stop allowing these 'fans' from gathering close to the North Stand on purpose. The genuine Hull FC fans need to put pressure on it's own club to not allow this situation to escalate. I don't think putting a bigger gap between the fans is the way to go either, simply move them to the South Stand and just eliminate the problem.

As has been stated by another poster, while some Leeds fans did rise to the problem, you didn't find the most vocal of our support sitting in the corner of the North Stand as close to the East Stand as possible did you! When you come to Headingley, do the same vocal supporters stand close to the Western Terrace on purpose! In fact, at any other ground in SL do you find the same thing happening... NO! The Hull club need to put there house in order for the majority of their fans and the away fans visiting the KC.

loads of hull fans say they think its a disgrace and want it sorted.
well get together, harass the club to stop it and do the same in the local rag.
the fans moan about it, the club obviously aren't bothered about it so maybe every club should boycott the KC until its sorted. hit them in the pocket where it hurts.

to me its gone on so long the club, and genuine fans, don't care what goes on. if they did they would do something about it

No fan was ejected IIRC, not that i saw anyway one of the "big lad brigade" fell over taking out a few other people in his party and the security stepped in thinking they were fighting. When this was explained they let them be.

Although i agree which ever numpty lobbed that pint should be seriously reprimanded.

Hull FC and thugish supporters. Been the same for the 25 years I've watched RL.

Same old, same old.

too right, them pints were not cheap!!!!

Chunkyhugo - what sort of brain dead response is that. The original poster makes some very valid points and idiots like you start spouting off.

Let us know how far it went mate.

but he's not wrong is he? it's everytime we go there. how far does it have to go before the hull club get off there s and do something?
an injury?
a serious injury?
a death?

its not hard to identify them IF they really wanted to

blunt and to the point, the days at the boulevard were probably worse, the fact the KC is all seater i would have thought would help but it obviously hasnt

Why??

It just gives them more stuff to break and lob!!

common sense dictates easier to control the crowd if trouble in a certain area.

was the stewarding sufficent on saturday?

Stewards IMO did a great job and the club have one thing to be proud of, they did not go in heavy handed and contained the problem quickly. They did this by walking the idiots gathered close to the corner back as far as was possible. When the game ended they shepherded them down the vomitory and then legged it back down the pitch access tunnel in the corner and out the back (I think) to make sure they did not goad the Leeds fans leaving the ground.

As soon as I saw how close the Leeds fans were to that corner I said it would cause problems. We have been to the KC on a number of occasions and usually end up sitting at that end, simply because we enter the ground at that end of the stand. We are subjected to quite a bit of abuse which I can handle but it doesn't normally escalate. On this occasion my 7 year old nephew was with us for his first game at the KC, and thankfully we chose to sit at the other end of the stand, otherwise it may have put him off for life.

It needs sorting and it's been going on for years. Why on earth they can't make that section a family stand or something like that is beyond me.

If there were Leeds fans who responded I can understand why but don't necessarily condone it. On a side note, I hope whoever threw his beer at Lauaki does get banned. We don't need that kind of behaviour in our game.

I don't think so!

They did nothing about the bloke who threw the pint at Luaki. Then, they failed to kick of the fat bald guy at the bottom of the stand who they'd repeatedly warned to behave throughout the game.

Quite. And I agree with the family stand solution.

The Hull club will not doing anything about it, I know!!

When we played Hull at headingley at the end of the 2007 season I was attacked coming out of the ground and received a broken jaw in 2 places, I've now 2 metal plates in my mouth holding it all together!!

We wrote to both clubs and the rfl, heard nothing back from Hull or the rfl. Leeds on the other hand were great with GH ringing my dad everyweek over a month to see how I was getting on and if there was anything as a club they could do!!

The Hull club is a disgrace, they have problem with their fans at the KC and at away games! Every club as their problem fans, but most clubs try to do something to stop things happening! Hull just dont seem to care!

Rant over!!

Andy

What was he actually doing though other than having a good time like the rest of us?!?!

We see him in the Southstand, OK he does have a bit too much to drink but he seems a happy drunk who just likes to get the crowd going...

People would be moaning if he was a violent drunk which he isn't!

Like people have already mentioned who ever chucked the pint over Lauaki needs banning for life, as does the Hull 'Fans' who were chucking beer & coins at the Leeds Supporters.

Other than the incidents in the Ground, not a peep of Trouble all day in and around Hull!

Nah then.

He needs his bloody head examining. Fancy throwing good ale away like that. Criminal waste of beer, criminal behaviour.

Thanking you kindly.

As you were.

Entering a sporting venue drunk is a criminal offence. Also, persistant standing is against the ground regulations. He broke two and should have been ejected from the ground.

So should have the 100 guys at the back of the stand then!

There was the odd Leeds fan reacting to the hull yobs but the common factor is the hull fans. I have mates who are bulls, cas and saints fans and all hate going to hull as they all experienced trouble, and working in the area I do the hull game at home is always the worst for trouble in headingley

I agree which is why I said the stewarding wasn't up to scratch, if they aren't warned they don't know!

How would you describe yours the ginger hobbits and co's behaviour at Huddersfield?
You were all very "merry" and consistently standing up to say the least amd were monitored very closely by the "tango army" all banter though if you do it!
