So do I.

Rather than seek out a steward there used to be a number you could text last year about abusive and foul language at the ground. Can we have something like this back and let Cougars once again be a forward thinking club and blaze a trail towards maintaining rugby league as a family sport - probably unique these days and show brainless yobbos from whatever club that it is NOT acceptable to be racist, or abusive.

From where I was standing Danny Jones was also using the 'F' word on several occasions, which was clearly audible to everyone on the terraces (including my 4-year-old grandson).

Is this a truly 'family game' as everyone would like us to believe when such language is used by players who are supposed to set an example to the fans and supporters?

It's evident there are more people like myself who feel it's time to eliminate foul language. I note, the club has now extended the 'Family Deal' to the Dewsbury match. This is the ideal opportunity for the club to put in place some measures to achieve this objective.

Is the club taking note of this thread, if not, who do we contact to set the ball rolling ?

A response from the club would be appreciated.

I'll get back to you with the info.

Re: Foul language. : Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:54 pm  

Will anyone/everyone please tell me why they criticise the supporters when Danny Jones is a major-user of the 'F' word when he is on the pitch?

What do I say to my 4-year-old grandson when he says 'What does Fxxx mean grandad?'

Will and can the Club respond?

The same as you would if it was said in the street.

I am pretty we have all said things in the heat of the moment. If any of you really think a player is not going to swear at some point during a game. You really need to get out more.

Got to agree with that. Rugby league is a tough, physical, passionate sport and as someone who plays the game who also thinks of themself as eloquent and having a good command of the English language, there are occasions when swearing at team-mates is the only option.

Although I can see people's point of view about fans language on the terraces, saying about sending players off for swearing is ridiculous.

I think personally that swearing is less the problem and it's more fans aggressive behaviour which can sometimes encompass swearing and racism which cause issues. I feel that banter between opposing fans and giving the officials a bit of a hard time is all part of the 'family atmosphere' and theatre of a game but occasionally this spills over as certain idiots take it too far.

Thanks for the comments. That will be six less supporters at the next home game!
