They were not goading, they normally as a team applaud all 4 sides of the ground. They appreciate that some fans like the way they play.

They had to applaud someone to be fair because they had 0 support outside their offical team party

normally maybe but sunday they ignored three sides of the ground then made inappropriate gestures to fans sat in main stand as they walked off

  I don't think the Toulouse players would disrespect our fans,in fact during the first half just after they scored their first try Hepi was chatting with our supporters behind the sticks .Always nice to have players interact with supporters as long as it is done in the right manner.

We weren't official team party, we had made our own way there.

Like the way they play they are in the championship they are hardly Melbourne Storm . They did it yesterday to try and get a reaction and sadly for Fev they got one and will now probably get another fine .

imagine if Fev win at leigh next week away from home and decided to go round the stadium and did what Toulouse did I don’t think it will go down too well .

So are you saying that the TO players applauding the crowd was the cause for a Fev fan having a pop at the officials? Bit tenuous if you ask me.

[The Judge]

I thought the French side dominated the game from 18-0 onwards. They were much the better side. Yet their lack of discipline towards the end gave us the opportunity to gain a smash and grab win and for me the reaction of Ormy was enough to convince me he had scored. All in all I thought it was a decent game, although I sometimes don’t get all the hero worshipping of Chisholm.

Looks like club statement to come re: the incident after the game. 

I saw a scuffle outside the officials' changing room involving a linesman and a fan, and then the fan being escorted off the premises by a steward who was calling the fan "disgraceful". 

I've heard there was a racist comment directed towards one of the linesman. Appalling if true. 

and that sentence in 1 tells the exact problem with Britain today. Your appalled by an alledged racist remark but not by the scuffle outside the changing room. Must be me but id sooner be called any name under the sun rather than punched in the face

When did I say anything about that having something to do with the incident outside the changing room

From a business point of view how poor it is hosting Toronto and Toulouse at home. At least our following is positive away at the same venues.Good luck to SL Clubs welcoming them with an empty away terrace at home.Think us Leigh and Bradford in SL would boost their coffers but will hopefully happen next year touch wood.

Oh... did you mean that the Fev team will be the cause of the fine?  Sorry,...I thought you meant Fev as a club

I truly despair at the thoughts and beliefs of some of our supporters, never mind the actions of others. I hate to think how Messers Campbell and Longo must feel about them.

Like I said where did I refer to the incident with the ref ?

In that sentence I was referencing the incident where one of the players got a drink thrown on him .

I thought "the incident" was with the linesman ? I never mentioned the ref, there is more than one official. Have to wait for the official report i guess to see who did what to who.

Was it a  Fev player got something thrown at him ? By a TO player ? Or the other way round?

Correct.  Appalling behaviour from a section of adult fans who should know better, espec after the game when Toulouse players went round the ground - more thanking the crowd for their part in creating a great match atmosphere than "goading".  Not their fault the ref got key decisions so wrong.  Toulouse play excellent attacking rugby but otherwise no better than us.
