I think we should go well further than this. Let's ban singing, no wait let's go full snooker and ban anything that registers over a gentle whisper.
Anyway back OT...
I can actually sympathise somewhat with the Saints fans on this one. For me it comes down to having a bit of respect. Everyone hates us, Saints or Leeds, but in reality, it's those three sides who prop up every other club in SL.
Hull KR and plenty of the historically "smaller" sides, seem to go OTT when they beat the bigger sides. They spend longer, giving it to the away teams fans, than they do actually congratulating their own team.
They then yap on about it for far too long too. How many Wakey fans went to town last year because they beat us on an off day? We won the LLS and GF, they got relegated - yet they still talk about beating us, like it actually mattered. Hull KR did the same this time last year, what happened in the SL semi final? Didn't the Cas players once all gather around in front of the away end after winning a league game at the DW?
I've seen plenty of other celebrations from sides like they've just won a final, when in reality, they've one one game. Grinds my gears.
Of course fans of smaller clubs are going to celebrate and enjoy the moment.
Carrying on the way some of the Saints fans were is totally unacceptable and inexcusable.
It’s not isolated to Saints though, it is just another example of thankfully a small minority of fans that exist within most clubs who bring embarrassment on their clubs and the game.
