Ho hum... and the Wakey fans cheering when Fitzhenry got injured? No I thought not.

this is the problem you see, i was at the match and spoke to a couple of you lads on the walk away from the ground and they didnt see much wrong with it, but i am guessing you didnt even go to the match.

Not that it really matters but yes Ive played RL I have played against Constable St. and Endyke in the under 19s and BOCM and NDLB open age
from your area now what does that prove? nothing eh.

Fair tackle course it was



And finally we come to the crunch. You must be one of the decent fans what didnt cheer then. Didnt hurt either to admit it was wrong I bet

What exactly did you think was 'dirty' about the tackle?

Are you having a laugh it was a fair tackle it was just unfortunate that Drew couldn't carry on. Well done scotty on a truly great hit

Guess again cock, and if its a guessing game guess how long I had to queue up for a pee at half time in that luxury portaloo.

And as for those 2 Wakey fans you spoke to they were probably queueing up to get in at your wonderfully organised ground and would have missed the start anyway.

Personally I along with the Wakey following thought it was late. That was not the real issue I said in my 1st post that imho it was intentionally late.
I dont condone it but learn to live with it, as it happens all too often in the game. Unfortunatly it was us this time it might be your player next week cr&p happens. But what I could not accept was the attitude of the majority of your fans what cheered when he was obviously hurt. From my point of view it would appear that your fans are not of a sporting nature.

well thats suprises me because someone who had played the game would not be using words like criminal & thug to describe a hit like that.

just out of interest what do you think was wrong with the hit.

Majority? So, assuming the Wakey estimate of your support was right (800

), that was the mighty roar of at least 4100 Rovers supporters.
Weird, as I was in the East Stand and it sounded like 20 or 30 to me.
Oh, and the hit was legal by the way.

As a hit nothing just late and deliberate. thats my opinion fwiw. Read my last post for the real issue.

Was definetly not the majority cheering Drew being injured.

As for the tackle being late we will see if it is referred to the disciplinary panel this week, for what it's worth IMO it was a legal.

It was referred and the verdict was that the tackle was not late. Fancy that.

Stratching my head here. How is a tackle deemed late when the player still has the ball?

Ah well, he was late offloading it you see.

Personally I couldnt give a stuff how many Wakey fans went to the game I am only interested in Wakeys' home support.

According to the papers the attendance was 9000+ so if we did take 800 as you have said that would leave around 8300 KR fans so where have the other half of the fans' gone? now thats weird

And as for only 20 or 30 bearing in mind your maths' seem a bit iffy them 30 made a hell of a lot of noise. As for the hit being legal its water under the bridge now.

yeah was posted at the same time. fair point, your goin to say one thing im goin to say the other. thats sport and rose (red & white in my case) tinted glasses.

Only those who understand the game.

My maths can indeed be slightly iffy on occasion. It is however good enough for me to know that anything over 50% (that's a half by the way) constitutes a majority.

Ever consider that the cheering was because it was a great hit on your key play maker? It happens at every game, buts fans are never cheering a player being injured. Maybe if the game was stopped and Drew carried off he could have got an applause, but the game continued and he stayed out on the field for at least a minute after the hit.

Quote ="chissitt"Drew was deliberately and criminally taken out by that thug whose name I will not mention. Although you dont condone this sort of thing it does happen in the game and you have to accept it. But what I found absolutely disgusting was the way the KR fans cheered loudly when Drew who was clearly in distress had to be helped off the field. You fans ought to be proud of yourselfs. And fwiw I am sure that if that had happened at the KC he would have gone off to a round of applause not abuse. Different mentality obviously '" And i'm sure the RFL disciplinary will do their job and ban this player for the deliberate and criminal attack www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... php?id=794

It might alarm you to know that other fans are allowed opinions, they do really. Thats not the real issue here though is it. Its about the non sporting gestures of so called R/L fans of yours. And as I have said earlier the proper rugby supporters' from across the city would have graciously applauded him off. But then as I have already said thats the different mentality of the 2 sets of fans.

Clearly. Reminiscent of the time the Castleford fans goaded you by remaining on the terraces that time. Shame on them!

Well it was the same set of fans who clapped Ryan Bailey off against leeds. To be honest I'd be surprised if any fans clap an opposition player off unless he's on a stretcher. Loads of players go off after a big hit with an ironic cheer and return later, so stop trying to make an issue out of nothing.

Having read your posts on this thread, it's quite clear you're just bitter because you were beaten.
