Re: Castleford fans criticised
Would not be surprised. When watching his first game (streamed on the net) there were quite a lot of homophobic jokes being made about him on the chat feature - not needed in our game.cpwigan wrote:Homophobic abuse re Gareth Thomas
It always disgusts me when you get fans abusing players for having different coloured skin/sexual preference etc.
Had to laugh at his response though - some one called him gay and he felt like turning around and saying "i f***ing know".

Yeah i was and a lot of it got deleted right away thanks to the good work of the mods. I tend to turn the chat off coz its seems to make my stream jumpy.gpartin wrote:Were you watcing on Stusports?Leyther Pie wrote:Would not be surprised.

Good. I'm a mod on there and although I wasn't there for this game we usually stop things like that pretty quickly. There's no link between the chat and the quality of the stream at all on Justin they're on separate servers although I sometimes turn mine off if its quiet because it can be a bit distracting. If you have problems with the stream being jumpy he also streams on Freedocast and it tends to be a bit better for those who have problems with quality on Justin.Leyther Pie wrote:Yeah i was and a lot of it got deleted right away thanks to the good work of the mods.

Re: Castleford fans criticised
Tell you what though if any of those cowards have the guts to go up to GT and called him derogartory stuff to his face then fair play but my bet is they'd rather shout it from the stands like the little snotbags they are.
I always think way too much is made out of racism and all the other ism's and phobics's there are but when its baltent abuse like that it really gets up my nose
we had a equality and diversity talk at work (i work for the NHS your lucky if you can say pass the black pen without being disciplined) and i found myself exploding half way through everyone having to "class" themselves and saying "are we all not just people??!, in my eyes there are two types of person in the world, people who are nice, and people who are d'[]heads, why dont we reclassify everyone as mauve and then no-ones different?!?"
i wasn't invited to one of those talks again lol

I did once hear in the East stand V Huddersfield a bloke behind me shout "Crabtree you've got hair like a girl, but I wouldn't tell you to your face 'cause your a big Bu***r"
Which I found both honest and amusing.
