If you look at the Pat Richards kick there is no way the laser was from the South Stand as he has is back to the South stand and the green laser is all over his face.

Therefore surely there were two pens involved?

Was one of them on the 'grassy knoll' ?

The stewards need sacking. If they knew who it was they should have handed him over to the police.

If this isn't nipped in the bud it could escalate. Imagine a few fans using them at the grand final and affecting the outcome of the game? Imagine if a player gets his eye damaged?

I cannot believe the lad in the South stand did it as well. Why put off your own player? The fact he was let back in is ridiculous. Lifetime ban for me.

As far as I know, he was let back in because they got the wrong person, he had an electronic cigarette which lights up and they thought it was a laser which it wasn't. I know for a fact that a St Helens fan in the North was ejected and handed over to police during the second half.

Ok fair enough then.

Seem to remember something similar happening in the Cup game at Fev earlier in the season? Definitely not welcome.

T!t

not at the game but on tv the green light looked as though it was pointing touch line to touch line ,,,,,,,,,so that one wouldnt have come from either north or south

As I said earlier, IT WAS IN THE SOUTH. The lad was stood a few rows behind me I even seen the pen when he had hold of it then the stewards took him and spoke to him then let him back in

If that was the case then there were 2, because there was 100% a lad in a grey hoody in the north who was shining the green one that was aimed at Sam when he was returning a kick and Pat while he was converting Tommy's try.

That was the electronic cigarette - Not a laser pointer.

I really dont understand the mentality of the idiots that do stuff like this, its pathetic.

MattyB, you brought back memories of a cracking holiday. I must apologise as that may have been me and my younger brother and sister in Gran Canaria in '99 (harmless fun at the time).

Anyway, more to the point about away fans and our stewards.

Why are they not all over the away fans like we are treated elsewhere?
Widnes, they were filming us with a camcorder.
Langtree Park, and Halliwell Jones have bouncers rather than stewards. Very intimidating at times..

Laser pens have gone up in quality. I know for a fact for a mere 7 quid, you can buy a green laser pen which will cover 2 pitches and still be strong. They were selling them at golborne parkside at the weekend, the kids were having a great time with them. The very same pens would have no trouble reaching their beam from north to south stand.

There was definitely one in the North, shined on Pats face as he took his kick for the first try. I was sat at the North Stand side of the East stand (IYSWIM). NO WAY that came from the South Stand

From where we sit in the south you could clearly see someone in the north stand with a grey jumper on and when we were on they're 20 minite line he shone what I can only think was a more expensive laser pen as it clearly reflected green back onto his jumper. Hence being able to be pointed out to stewards. I actually missed MM sending off due to laughing at the stewrds in the South looking at the man in the North through Binoculars wigth about 10 people round them with long lense cameras taking pics of the man in the North!!! I KID YOU NOT

By all accounts Jean-Michael had enjoyed his first taste of superleague.

He's selling flame throwers this Friday, £12.99 each, £1.99 extra for petrol.

Must resist! Must resiist! Must resist!

Sooooooooo Tempted!
(Check your texts!)

No, not them !!!!!!

Lasers are dirt cheap abroad. I bought one in Bali last year for about £7 and it will throw a beam many hundreds of meters, yeah you read that right, and produce a dot the size of your little finger nail on the target. Even visible in broad daylight. At night its awesome. Its green as well. I wouldn't dream of using it at a match or owt like that though, just for making my dogs chase the dot, great exercise for 'em, but this type of laser is deffo available.

THE HOOF

Are they legal? Or is it just illegal to shine them at someone or in the sky?

Well they are produced to point at things in lectures and things like that. Not sure about the powerful ones, don't know what practical applications they would have in civilian life but I can't see any reason why they would be outlawed unless they are ones that could produce a dangerous amount of heat.

In a large auditorium 1000 plus, then the little red ones are hard to pick up well, I have a green one for when I speak in the big venues, got it from Ebay, use the red one elsewhere. Using one at Rugby etc is simply bonkers and deserves prosecution.
