Geoff sent you a PM

I'll get back to you with the info.

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!

That is pathetic.



Not everyone agrees with me so im going to deny the club money, good effort.

@666 I'm sorry you feel this way but come on, it seems we are trying find to problems now when really we should 110% behind the lads it was a good win on Sunday and I hope we can perform/improve like that against Swinton and the big one against Dewsbury and continue to give 110% for the remainder of the season. So lets forget about it and move on, I'm sure Danny wont use language like that all the time, its just on the pitch things get heated end of!

Different people are more or less offended by different things and you can't criticise someone if they feel it isn't the right environment for them or their kids or grandkids and trying to bang the drum of blind support is the wrong way to go. As I've said already, players swear in the moment and it's difficult to really do anything about that but choices of where abouts to stand to protect younger ears could be made perhaps. I've been going to Cougar Park for over 20 years and the only time I've heard anyone really swear was when the physio told me my knee was f***ed when I was 17.

Have you asked the other 5?

This post does seem to have provoked many different opinions. I accept Kenco that we need to focus our attention on the field and support the lads. The've had a difficult season and we should not be too critical of them & get behind them as I aways do.



It was not my original complaint to critisise players for swearing, that was instigated by another reply.



Being involved in sport as player or coach can bring it's frustration, as I know only too well.



My original point was the mindless use of the 'F' word in family area's regardless of the fact there were Women & Children in earshot. Remember the club has extended the 'Family Day Offer' to the Dewsbury game !



Also the racial comment from one supporter.

As background information, I've been supporting Keighley and the Cougars since 1962 when the 'F' word was never heard on the field. So why is it accepted now? OK, I might be taking an extreme stance, but why should 'young ears' ever be exposed to obsceneties?



If 'Guess Who' (I hope that I haven't misunderstood his comment) thinks that it is acceptable to shout obsceneties 'on the street' then I really do feel that he should be removed as a moderator of this forum.



Talk about a 'Family Game'! What type of 'Family' do you want to support the Cougars? Certainly not mine that have 'TRUE Family Values'.



In words that you all will understand, whatever your age, we will take your example and 'F OFf' to a better family environment.



Thanks for nothing after 51 years of loyal home and away support!
