Your last post is so lol there is a massive diffrence between chanting homophobic remarks and calling the ref a ****** do you not think?

This will seal it you men will be out of sl at the end of next season enjoy chanting all your rubbish in nl

Rather than get fined £40,000 I think Castleford should be made to play the remainder of their home fixtures in pink and be renamed the Castleford Bears

I would have responded in a reasoned way, but its blatently obvious that you are rather pathetic

I don't know what is more scary - the fact that a section of the Castleford fanbase consider homophobic chants acceptable, or the number of Castleford fans who seem quick to mitigate the seriousness of what took place.

=#8000FFBecause it wasn't serious? 15 yobs who will probably be banned by the next home game compared to the thousands of people chanting homophobic stuff at Leon Pryce when everyone thought he was going to jail? Seriously it's a non-issue the RFL have gone too far with because it's what they do when it involves a "smaller" team and because Gareth "lets forget about it" Thomas has done nothing but bleat on about it non stop? In fact, I'd say the problem is with GT himself for carrying it on like he has, when he should have accepted the Tigers apology.

Anything that causes harrassment alarm or distress to any other human being is serious whether its 15 people doing it or 15,000

=#8040FFWell considering he keeps saying it didn't effect him in any way, shape or form must mean it isn't serious?

=#8000FFAh so he changed his story got it after the game he said he just laughed it off and it meant nothing, but if he wants to be like that and be in all honesty, petulant then fair play to him but that sort of attitude isn't needed in the game, and neither is that of the 15 fans who WILL be banned.

When did he say that it meant nothing and didnt bother him?

=#8000FFLike straight after the game/the day after then when all the papers/TV started asking it gradually snowballed into a bigger & bigger deal for him.

If Leon Pryce came out tomorrow and said the chanting Leeds & Wigan directed at him about what would happen to him in the showers deeply hurt and offended him, would the RFL also fine those 2 clubs for chanting homophobic remarks?

I remember when I was about 10 I fell off my little 50cc motocross bike whilst pulling some wheelies and trying to impress my mates

I ripped my arm almost down to the bone as it dragged me along the bitumen.

They came over going 'did it hurt?'


'Naaaah of course not' I replied


Like f*ck it didn't


I bawled my eyes out as soon as they left.


So just because someone says something doesnt hurt at the time it doesnt mean it didnt.

Is Gaslight normally this creepy?

=#8040FFExcuse me?

I find this deeply offensive and expect a fine of 40k to be given to you for this behaviour

You distress me every time you post,

Let's see – someone who posts in lilac all the time: something you want to tell us, Gassy dear? You do know that homophobia is often a cover for one's own sexual doubts, don't you?

I can confidently guarantee that no such offensive chanting has occurred at Belle Vue - we never chant anything!!

Speedy doesnt do a lot of thinking, and he certainly does not think at all when opening his mouth hth

Id say people looking to blame Thomas is the scariest aspect. It just shows how far, as a game, we still need to go

you do realise that saying people get raped in prison, and this is a bad thing, isnt homophobic dont you?

Let's be fair here - given the things I hear on the terraces and on TV week in week out at all matches, there isn't a single club that adheres to the RFL Respect Policy. The statement from the club seems to suggest that preventative actions were taken. I suppose it's still a great opportunity for the large number of Cas bashers around here to jump on the bandwagon though eh? Maybe we should adopt a stance of "Nobody likes us and we don't care".

True, but at least we, in the RFL, have shown this is going to be taken seriously, such as signing up to the Stonewall initiative and other club-led programmes. Completely different I know, but shouldn't we, as a sport which was ostracised for the best part of 100 years, be more tolerant to others?

wow that was a good one, when you on mastermind next then,

we should, and the RFL deserve congratulating for going out of their way to link up with Stonewall and the other programmes, before this became an issue. They have been very pro-active and we should be proud of that. They should also be congratulated on their strong stance over this issue.
