from the youtube video prob about 3 widnes shirts, rest had coats on or just no top on at all ! bet they have been to about 1 game this season between them

seems to be a good response from the club, sure they will find them and ban them

Well it wasn't Hull fans so you can keep your insidious remarks to yourself. Don't try points scoring off us just because your team couldn't against Leeds.

Just because they wasn't wearing Widnes shirts does not mean they weren't supporters. I and the people I attend Salford games with never have worn replica shirts, doesn't mean I'm not a regular supporter.

This thing about not wearing shirts so they can't be a Widnes fan is rubbish I haven't worn anything rugby related for about the last 15 years when I attend games home and away

Unfortunately a youtube video shows one Castleford fan climbing over the barrier after the mascot has had his head kicked and laying into one of the topless cretins. A steward and one of the Cas players then bundles him back over the hoarding into the stand out of the way. It's a shame but that's just one person out of perhaps 2500-3000 in the Castleford stand who responded to the goading which I think shows incredible restraint from the Cas fans.

Although that mascot (who had his head removed) did seem to slip, the very same person in the Liverpool shirt tries to knock over the other Castleford mascot...I wouldn't call this just a tap (watch at the 2 minute mark)...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... gAlef_3M5I

Fair enough, I haven't seen all the videos, it was just how it looked to me at the game watching from the side, it might be a completely different person altogether as the bloke I was watching was trying to get back to the stand and there were no players nearby.

He's got to be the dumbest piece of sh*t alive.

BRB, criminal record, life over.

I know what you mean, at the time I didn't think anyone had gone on the pitch from the Cas end....likewise I didn't realise that Liverpool idiot gave the other mascot a big shove from behind....that's the benefit of all this footage I guess.

What a sad indictment on our game.
Neanderthals carrying on like ADHD kids.
Maybe if Jenny Craig was the Ref it could have been sorted out and those fat s with no shirts could have been signed up before they caused trouble,

On a serious note, you wonder why this game struggles?
Its run by amateurs, supported in some cases by troublemakers and idiots.

From what I see on this forum there would only be a few grounds I would feel comfortable taking my Family too where I hope we would not either be barraged by full on foul language or have to fight if we did not accept it.

After watching some of the videos, the ginger-haired bloke in the red shirt, black jacket with a draw string bag is the one who should be seriously worried about a criminal record.
Although the chances are he already has one, I'm sure he hasn't just decided to behave like a violent thug just for a day.

To be honest you'd be suprised.

Some of these cats could be normal respectable people, who had too much to drink and got carried away with abit of gang mentality.

I think the shirt he's wearing is a Widnes away shirt, not a Liverpool one.

Yep...another football assumption

Sorry, not familiar with the Widnes away shirt and assumed it was a Liverpool one.

I was not however implying they are all football fans causing trouble before we get started on that route again, I merely thought it was a Liverpool shirt.

Smart move Frankie!!

Maybe best way to deal with this and diffuse the situation, is to have an amnesty and allow the trouble makers to own up come forward and get a fine to charity and some community work. Those that then don't ban them from RL For life.

Ha ha very funny

Sorry, entering the pitch was a criminal act criminal activity and a donation to charity cannot allow them to escape justice.

Inspector Clouseau has stated on a couple of occasions that someone punched a mascot in the head, he backs it up with a couple of still images. He is in fact clearly wrong, when viewed in real time the Widnes fan taps the mascot on his head, who then goes down like a felled tree. Let's not start telling porky pies. It was clearly an unsavoury incident, but the way some folk are carrying on you'd think we'd had World War Three.

I'll need to look again but it looked more than a "tap" when I watched the other day.

Edit - watched a different video and see what you mean. Maybe the other mascot got hit a bit harder. None of it defends what the knuckle draggers did though.

First I don't appreciate the "Clouseau" jibe, I have posted my views as to the images I have seen and you are free to disagree. Don't show yourself up.

The straight arm, clenched fist punch very clearly shown in the images is just what i said. To describe it as a "tap" is frankly silly and just discredits anything else you say. The only thing the punch didn't do is connect flush. Which I also already said.

Secondly the mascot didn't "go down like a felled tree". He steps to his right and then just overbalances backwards, basically sitting down on his arrse. He then gets up. Nobody is making any more of it than that. He doesn't roll around feigning injury or whatever. He just stands up and walks in pursuit of his head. You seem to be blaming him for being punched and accusing him of faking. I think you have issues if that's the case.

Who's been carrying on like we've had WW3? It was extremely unsavoury and I can imagine frightening for both Cas and Widnes fans. Just because no ones died shall we pretend it didn't happen?

The implications could be huge for RL.
The images were all over every single national newspaper, broadcast live on BBC, and were even on ITV news (never known them to broadcast anything about RL)

We struggle to attract sponsors as it is, I can't see the images of Sunday encouraging people to invest on the sport.
