I've been sitting on my hands since Sunday but after reading posts from a variety of places, I need to join in.



Dr Koukash is an academic. As such, he should have the nouse to check his sources to establish the truth of what happened.



I watched him walk to the West Stand to placate his supporters and the view from where I was, was 'Respect'. So much so, that when he walked back to his place in the stands, we applauded him.



Reading what he said to the press left me astounded and all respect has been withdrawn.



Some people feel that all publicity is good publicity but I disagree. In this case, stating that 'we don't want this in 'our lovely game'', really angered me.



Surely bringing this situation to the national press helps to damage 'our lovely game'.



With respect to Dr Koukash, he has been in 'our lovely game' for less than five minutes and if he continues with his ill thought out soundbites, he will bring 'our lovely game' into disrepute.



This is the kind of publicity we really don't need.



My OH and I were considering buying season tickets for next year, alongside our Warrington tickets. We now have to think again

Glory hunting again are you



BTW get a life, there are lots more things in the world to be worried about that one mans mistaken outburst (which he has apologised for)

He admitted on the Monday even his mistake has since made an unreserved apology to the player in question ( Ben Westwood ) which we're told has been accepted. We had certain radio stations and news agencies still rehashing 2 day old soundbites as news. don't be too harsh on him . If your player has accepted the apology & moved on ..

Not if he has made national news with the accusations.



Haven't seen the apology, yet. Is there a link to it?

Well half your team is rumoured to be coming so I'm sure you and the misses will feel quite at home.

Sorry, our messages must have been posted almost simultaneously.



I hope he'll wait until he's in possession of the full facts next time.



I'm hoping for good things for Salford in future seasons. When I first started to go to matches on a regular basis,

Salford were always to be feared and that's how it should be.



Good luck for next season.

Me and the hubby







I wasn't being facetious. Season tickets have genuinely been under consideration in our house.

Thank you

Well, I hope you will reconsider.



There's another aspect to this story that no-one seems to be focusing on, certainly not the lynch mob on the Warrington forum: the story told to him by the numpty was then [iconfirmed by a steward[/i. So, we appear to have someone directly or indirectly employed by Warrington RLFC telling a bare faced lie to the chairman and owner of another SL club, leading to no small degree of embarrassment for that chairman. I would have thought this was worthy of some form of apology from Warrington, but, as far as I know, none has been forthcoming [inor has one been asked for[/i.



I think that's worth some respect, don't you?

Over an incident that's been blown out of all proportion and been apologised for? There's more important things to take into consideration, surely?



As for the incident itself, I hope those who lied to Koukash will be dealt with accordingly.

Free tickets for the remainder of the year would be adequate punishment I think.
