as a neutral at batley it was very sad to hear leigh fans cheering when a batley player was injured, and although leigh scraped a win what was all the bad mouthing about at the end of the game, you let the rl family down yesterday, shame on you

was he injured???? as for bad mouthing i think the verdict on the ref was quite vocal from both sets of fans, also tempers were high due to the officials being clueless as how to deal with the scuffles.at half time when it went off AGAIN, the ref held everyone up then after 5 mins pointed to the tunnel. I love going to batley its 1 i look forward to never any probs between fans so it was a show of unity towards the officials, it is also great that fans of other clubs came to the game but you cannot get excited or angry when your team is not involved. we won a very tight game yes weren`t pretty but not many teams get much going up that bloomin hill so when your at your designated club next time AVE A LISTEN TO YOUR OWN FANS THEN POST ON HERE.

Well I must have missed that perhaps you would say at what point in the game ?

Re bad mouthing at the end ? The ref and one of his Touch Judges were boo,d off for abysmal displays.

Come to our next match and discuss it perhaps ?

I saw the four Huddersfield Giants fans from Sooper Dooper League and apologise to them if they got upset BUT in proper Rugby fans get behingd their teams and as this is 2009 unfortuantely it isn't like the old fartown days of yes sir no sir thank you sir so and sometime as is the nature of society some people get over excited such is life get used to it

I haven't got a clue what you are talking about!

My son and I were at the match and at no point did I hear anyone cheering when an injury occurred (I don't even know to which one you are referring!).

As for the end of the match the only jeering was at the officials who had made some strange decisions.

I think Boomer is just a trouble maker trying to create an issue where none exists.

The only person letting the RL family down is him or her.

are you sure you were at the game?? I dont recall any players getting injured

Officials were justfiably given stick at the end after a terrible display.

Only 'cheer' for anything resembling an injury was when their left winger took a big hit in the second half, but he was only winded and it was a perfectly legal tackle. If anything, the cheer was for the hit (especially as there was a decent chance they'd have scored had he broken the line) rather than any resultant knock.

Surely the only 'long injury' was to Donlan does the author not realise that we were the team playing in blue?
