Chris Hill said Edwards was shouting something to rile up the fans, and you can see him in the background waving his arms up and down as if to say “come on you lot get stuck into them” (as in get up and get stuck into the Wire fans)

That’s why Hill was saying “oi, what are you f*****g doing that for? My parents and child are up there”

So it's not just me then that has his post removed everytime I challenge Bazza whilst the e the convict writes to antagonize stays for all to read. Proof if needed he's part of this site. I'll make a mental note of how long this lasts. 10-9-8........

Yet to see one Warrington fan condemn the actions of their fans and players, instead they’re listing excuses that are changing by the minute.

Edit for accuracy

The Warrington guardian have images, yet to see any chairs being thrown. Some beer being thrown both up and down, but all after the box started to be invaded.

I guess walking away was never an option...

No,it's not just you Srao.

I suppose this doesn't really count then.




Our excellent, impartial, diligent and hardworking moderators have had a bit of a conflab and decided that we’d like to have a go at cleaning up, and focusing discussion on the Virtual Terrace.

This forum is designed for people to discuss all aspects of rugby league in a friendly, non-partisan, open and educated manner, but we’ve noticed in recent weeks and months that a number of our regular posters are not fully embracing the ethos of the place.
What we don’t want to see (in no particular order) is; points scoring, sniping, trolling, one up-man-ship, bullying, or otherwise belligerent posting.

Over the next few hours, days, weeks and possibly months, our moderation team will be visiting more regularly and they now have carte-blanche to delete posts which they see as falling into the above categories. No reason will be given, and their decision is final. The Admins will not consider any support tickets relating to deleted posts from the VT and they will be closed without response.

If you find that you’ve had a post removed then it was probably considered to have fallen into one of these categories. If you regularly have posts deleted then you perhaps might want to think about your posting style and whether you are really here to discuss rugby league, or for some other reason.

Stay within the guidelines and you’ve nothing to worry about, we want a vibrant, friendly discussion from people of all viewpoints.

Happy posting.

Whoever is / was to blame there is one shocking oversight that I think everyone is not taking note of. That is the lack of security or policing of the game.

It seems a lifetime ago that when a situation like this erupted at a rugby league ground and let's take our head out of our butts because it's happened at every ground in the SL that a well drilled police squad would pile in and dissolve the trouble.

Clubs are playing Russian Roulette with security due to cost and the game is one minor incident away from a disaster because grounds are ok with a 5th rate work force doing the stewarding .

Both clubs need sanctions for tonight but all clubs need to learn lessons because I think it could have been a lot worse.

I love how this is some sort of excuse too. An idiot throws something so, in valiant defence of the poor children, lots of wire fans climbed into exec boxes to attack people.

Whatever the ref did, whatever may or may not have been thrown, wire fans were a disgrace and frankly often are. Last game of RL my wife will ever watch live was Wire vs Hudds because the Wire fans were so abhorrently behaved.

I watched it in the pub and quite frankly I don't give a what happened.
We will be in 1 final(maybe 2!)and catalans will not be in any!!

Are you sure?

Classy wire fans as always

That line gets put out whenever there's crowd trouble. You missed out the bit about the non-existant child needing stitches.

I'm positive baz. Fancy a bet?

You should be proud of yourself, It's a good job the majority of decent wire fans wouldn't agree with you.

hypocrite

In what way?

The so called decent fans who spend 'hundreds watching them' have just caused a load of bother. I've watched wire since 1985 but I've never been to catalans away cos I dont want to spend 2/3 days with a gang of p1ssed idiots. You proud of me now?

I was refering to the genuine well behaved fans unless you don't have any, which maybe is what your implying, and no I'm still not proud of you.

It's a pity that the ill feeling on and off the field that led to a Warrington fan riot is spilling over into rlfans forum.

The important thing now is for Warrington management to act responsibly, identify the hooligans, and then ban them for life.

This video in slow motion shows the fight in all its glory, taken by a journalist behind the sticks. Shows that Mcllorum tackle made initial contact with upper forearm of wire player and then bounced into his throat area. I would say its one of those tackles were the player is trying to get away with a cheap shot by making the initial contact as high as legally possible knowing the fore arm will then slide up into the face. On the subject of the wire player being tackled. He has been criticised by both chris chester and Justin Holbrook for his technique when running into the tackle. He angles the right side of his body into the tackle so he leads with his forearm and right shoulder. https://youtu.be/INJ65gDARi0

EVERY club has them, we all know it. Ours have just been caught on camera for a couple of minutes.

Still not fancy that bet baz?

You will be waiting a long time.

Always the victim

I would say it is much more serious than that.
If crimes were committed inside the stadium then it is only correct that the Police conduct a criminal investigation into the matter.
