It read:-

We have been to Toulouse twice now in the Championship and I have nothing but praise for the way the club go about their business. However I do have some issues about the conduct of the Limoux club, which I will be taking up with the RFL. All I can say at the moment is that the safety of the players and match officals is paramount, and needs addressing if we are to continue to invite the French to join our elite Cup Competition.

Interesting, anyone know what he means?

from what i been told the guy on the microphonne intoroducing the teams/interchanges was enticing the croud by slaggin the ref off during the game over the tannoy system

Think it was of the Limoux players and their fans upset about the result and on the pitch attempting to lynch our players and especially Warren Turley

French, fans, objects, propelling

nasty

I did hear something like that myself but wondered if thats what Allan meant, shocking if true.

Kick um out. They are no different than Queens if that is what happened.

I think it is probably a reference to a fan getting in the referees face after the game. Whatever the match presenter was saying would obviously have been in French and as I was not there acting as official interpreter I doubt 'although I could be wrong' that AR would have known what he actually was saying.

Lynching the players ? I doubt that too. They don't do that sort of thing in France they use guillotines don't they ?

So where were the Stewards then?

They don't bother with all that Health & safety nonsense in France!!!

Good God Dave............trying to get a free/paid holiday invite for next season

The club had it translated what the guy over the PA system was saying so they are aware of it and as AR has said looks like its being reported and probably the general behaviour of the French.

Its a pity they didnt show that sort of aggression when the Germans waltzed in, in 1939

I was talking to a player on sunday who said the players we belted with stones when they made there way in or out of the tunnel and constantly abused and targated when on the bench. Appartantly the area around the stadium has more caravan homes than brick ones.

it was 1940 clever 2@
Millions of French, young and old died showing "that sort of aggression"

LOL - and Nick Clegg was derided in the press last week for daring to state that the British had had a superiority complex over Europe post WW2.

Wasn't wrong was he??

The Limoux fans werent happy at all, certain words are the same in english as they are in french! The players made a quick exit down the tunnel at the end of the match, nothing was said or aimed at me by the fans and i had my leigh top on

As an aside to this, I didn't notice Warren's name on the refereeing appointments last weekend. I hope he's ok and was just being rested after his long break in France?

I'll say it because Allan can't - despite all their protests and threats, they were full of pi55 and wind and melted when the team came out of the dressing room to get back on the coach.

Don't know if he did the game though because he was complaining of being ill on his facebook page

I thought he was at the Easts game on Saturday if it was him he didn't look ill to me.

It was him Frank.

Thanks - but isn't it unusual to be appointed as a TJ (admittedly in SL) when you are reffing regularly?

No it isnt Alan, Rob Hicks is a regular TJ on televised games.

Well that`s handy we have a guillotine in Halifax , in fact I do believe we invented it too we`ll give it a sharpen for the next time they come to Town .
