Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

To myself, the comments made by Cockayne are the opinions of a man who, like an increasing number of residents of our fair isle, have been seized upon by the right wing politicians and fed rhetoric about how our once great nation is under threat from an islamist/fundamentalist ideal. He certainly isn't the 1st person to believe it. He is obviously a bit dim, but is it really cause for such a grave outpouring wishing ill upon his person? The phrases and beliefs he stated are uttered on a daily basis by many, many people in various places, yet the police don't go chasing after them all.
As for the question of being a role model, i wouldn't have thought that Cockayne would be the obvious choice among the younger element of the Rovers support. To me it's part of a parent's responsibility to establish a boundary if they take their children to watch sport on a regular basis to ensure if their children are inspired by a player such as Cockayne, it should only be for on-pitch endeavours. Although let's face it, there's a distinct possibility that some parents may share the same views as Cockayne does.
As poorly informed and slightly ignorant his opinion may be, i think to take away his livelihood is stretching it a bit too far.

As far as the police are concerned, text messages are not the same as social networks are they ?....nor is the comment in question that Cockyane allegedly made an undertone is it ?'"
Unfortunately I have had my number for a considerable number of years and have an extensive address book .... and regret that sometimes I receive messages from contacts who obviously press the "send to all" button - it does not mean that I agree with the content .....
You make an interesting point on whether the Police treat text messages the same as social media - and intend to check the point when at work tomorrow
