Firstly, well done to Marchy and the lads. It's not easy playing against 14 for most of the match !

I've been a supporter of Rugby League for 50 years and like many, have had to tolerate ever growing foul and abusive language. In the bar at half time, I along with my mate, had to listen to the worst level of foul language I've heard for a long time in this area, all comeing from the Hunslet supporters. Not caring there were ladies and young children around them. Bearing in mind our club tried to make this game a 'family day' with the special offers. Is it time we made a stand against this behaviour and display a notice in the bar area barring this type of language ? After all we do make an announcment before the match that 'foul & abusive language' will not be tolerated.

Don't missunderstand me, I'm not 'Mr Innocent' I've used this language, usually with male colleagues at work and certainly not in the presence of women & children. A lot of the times we were stood in a GUTTER.

I want to start bringing my Grandson, but not to listen to this. How many parents think the same ?

I agree with the above, the language in the bar at half time was not acceptable I was about to say something but I think it would have just made it worse, also what are the rules regarding this on the pitch, I heard one Hunslet player who can also been seen and heard on Mickys excellent video shout at the top of his voice, you ******* lazy ****, if I had been the Referee I would have sent him off for foul and abusive language. On a lighter note well done to Marchy and the boys for battling out a victory, that was not easy for different reasons.






It is sometimes better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt !

Not all Hunslet fans. There are Keighley Fans who also were guilty of this.

Three fans who I have not seen before stood behind me and and there were 2 families with children.

One was very loud and swearing using the F word and calling the ref a ***ker which I would have to then try and edit out.

I asked him to stop and he did. However did ask me to film somewhere else !!!

I agree Micky, I heard someone "supporting" Keighley shout a comment about the colour of a persons skin and looking a peoples reactions and shouts of whoa whoa whoa so did they, I did not see who it was but I did hear it, but the comments above are about what we saw and heard and unfortunately they were Hunslet fans, but whoever says it in front of families its not acceptable,but what could and should be done, could the player heard quite clearly shouting the obscenities have been sent off ?.

We can happily put up something in the Bar Geoff ...TBH I never heard owt but if it happens again give us the nod behind the bar and we can have a steward there sharpish..

Got to agree with John n Mickey though that there was a few home 'supporters' who were well out of line as well yesterday , a few in front of the bar who spent the entire match berating and abusing the touch judge spring to mind ...maybe it was the warm weather and the atmosphere coming across from the antics on the field but it really wasnt a pleasant atmosphere at all yesterday

In my opinion it's something that's creeping back in the game now. Why I don't know.

It's an issue that needs addressing and I suppose is dealt with easier at the time rather that retrospectively. The odd word may slip out and I don't think any reasonable person would bemoan that, but if it's repeated it needs stamping out. If that's our own fans or away fans same rules apply.

I don't think we can just point the finger at Hunslet. Leigh weren't great last year, Workington have been guilty in recent seasons and I think one game last season there was some racial complaints but can't recall the team we were playing. As a club maybe it needs reinforcing and positive action taken against offenders.

I'm pleased I've hit on a problem that other people recognise. To attract families and future supporters, the club must be seen to be making positive steps to stamping out this type of language. I didn't mean to point the fingure at one club. It must be an issue with other clubs too. I also, heard the racial comment on Sunday. Disgusting.

We need to eradicate this problem before gets out of hand.

Must say I try my best not to swear down at Cougar Park and have told people in the past about it. However what can you expect when the music that is been played down at the club contains swearing. It has happened on more than one occasion this year?

Seems to me Captain_Cougar you are blaming the club for inciting this problem. Time we all looked at our selves and not excuses.

Where does it say I blame the club? Its up to each individual not to swear. Like ive said though it does not set a good example when music with swearing in it is been played.

I hate to say it and I dont condone swearing but maybe a little more boisterous behaviour may get more fans down at the club and before anyone jumps on me saying that im saying swearing and poor behaviour is ok I'm not. All im saying is that Cougars have had the same fans for year's and a lot still live in the Cougar mania days.

I for one if I went to my first Cougars match and all I saw all game was fans shouting at the ref all the tine I wouldn't return. Them lads with the drum on Sunday really brought an atmosphere to Cougar Park and I hope they still keep coming
