Been speaking to a few fans that went to yesterdays game, to which, they've outlined assistant coach Paul Anderson was abusing Leigh fans towards the end of the game. Therefore, if the likes of Jaimie carragher are suspended from their job for abusing paying fans then surely Deggsy should do something about Paul Anderson's actions ?

Should all the fans that abused players over the last few weeks be suspended from games too???

I bet theyd be thankful

Fans pay hard earned cash to watch the team - he is paid by the club to conduct himself as a 'professional' within a professional sporting establishment.

Professional sportsmen and women have a duty to act as role models - what he did towards those fans yesterday, I find it totally out of order abusing fans.

Don't be silly Roy, we fans pay to have an opinion, people like Anderson supposedly professional who are quite happy to wallow in the good stuff when the plaudits are flying around should also be man enough to accept criticism when things are not going to well - or in Leigh's case at the moment totally abysmal - no way should he be biting the hands that feed him by gesticulating with a two fingered salute in the direction of the Leigh faithful, total pratt.

They are also human beings with feelings - did you see Mark Noble at the weekend, you can't expect them to stand there and take it all the time without reacting

Funny. You seem to begin threads or post comments, designed to cause unrest, without any actual confirmed sources.
I for one will not comment further on this or your other threads until they are proved to be true.

So, judging by the replies here...

Its acceptable to hurl abuse to the players/coaches from that stands?

And when its done vice versa, its wrong??

If you you can't take, don't give it out

In a way it shows it's hurting

Hardly call a hand gesture abusing fans if you get prodded enough you will react don’t care who you are.

Has this accusation been confirmed

I wasn't there but judging by the number of fans who saw it and commented on it on both FB and Twitter, I think it's probably true.

So did anyone on here actually see it.

I have known Paul for the best part of 40 years. Although hot headed at times I do not think he would abuse fans like this

I didn't see him do it, to be honest my eyes where on Higham and fair play to him. Lot of frustration and embarrassment in that North Stand,no doubt the same on the field.

Emotions running high, given the circumstances. If he did do it,I'm sure we'll see an apology and move on.

All I've seen mentioned is him giving a v sign to fans that were giving him stick. Good job we've got some stirrers on here to make sure nothing stays in proportion!

I was at the game and I honestly did not.

Bloody hell , the same people bemoaning a lack of Leigh born players in the team now appear to be calling for the Leigh born coaches to be gone as well.

Do you really ? Yet you was not there to see anything that you feel was probably true ? Even if Paul Anderson did nothing of the sort ?

Yes I do. You just need to look on the 'Leigh Centurions RL Fans Forum' on FB to see the thread about it, so unless all those fans are lying, it's very likely to be true, or you think they've all made it up?

Yep, that's where I've seen people talking about it. Giving a v sign to the fans apparently. The OP comparing it with Jamie Carragher spitting at a fan from a moving car is absolutely ridiculous and just an attempted hatchet job on someone at the club.

No I'm not talking about the OP's post on here, it's on the FB group and was posted after the game on Sunday - it's still on there now if you go and have a look.

I don't care either way, I wasn't there and it wasn't aimed at me, but the fans who saw it don't seem to be too impressed. This is a forum and the OP has every right to post, I'm not sure what the problem is?

Put it this way, if he did do that (and on FB they claim he mouthed 'f*** *** at the same time) how do you feel about that? Is it OK or do you think he should be punished? I think that's what the OP on here was asking.

Where did I say that you were talking about the OP? I just backed up what you said about the Facebook forums and then gave a separate opinion on the OP, based on this and other posts. A muck stirrer sniffing blood.

In answer to your question, if it happened he should apologise and that should be the end of the matter, as for the OP’s comparison with carragher, if he’d given a v sign and told him to F off, he wouldn’t have been suspended by Sky.

Ah yes, sorry I've just been back and re-read your post and realised that I didn't read it properly the first time around.

If he did it, he's in the wrong. (I was there, but I missed it too!) I guess emotions were running pretty high everywhere (although not as obviously on the pitch!!) and it's an understandable, if not justifiable, response from PA. Hopefully, an apology would go a long way to diffusing this.

Mind you, his response was probably pretty inoffensive, compared with what was heading the way of the players and coaches!
