Err... He's a professional sportsman with a responsibility to be a role model. It's his job. He gets paid. If he didn't want the booing and thug related chants then maybe he shouldn't have done the things he's done in the past.



No professional sportsman should incite a crowd. What was he trying to achieve?

I think you're been a bit harsh to be honest mate. They were messing about a bit before kick off picking up that girl, and then tackling each other when they got the ball but apart from that they got behind the team.



I don't know them and they were a bit annoying, but as I said they weren't too bad, and weren't really harming anyone.

For the record, the stand you were in is mixed - not an 'away' end - so Cockayne was quite justifiably celebrating a win with his team-mates, in front of his own supporters. Chucking things at him was not a reasonable response.



Either way, it was a great atmosphere today and I'm not overly worried if there were a few idiots - every club has them.

Nobody has said it was a reasonable response. Two wrongs don't make a right.



But if you think he was celebrating like that to the home fans, you are either being naive or argumentative. The majority of the stand were away fans. He was goading.

Come of it how can you be so naive cockayne knew exactly what he was doing he wasnt just celebrating for your benefit he knew he would get a reaction off the fc fans, a bit of clapping towards his own fans would of been sufficient but no he had to take it one step further and celebrate like he had just won a cup knowing it would get a reaction.



Hes a idiot of the highest order and if he wasnt a pro rugby player he would probably be sat in jail by now.

i doubt a lot of the fans would shout abuse at him if they were on there own but thats ok isnt it that theres a few thousand and didnt you cheer on your own racist thug a couple of seasons ago before he was sent down pot and kettle

I cheered raynor on yeah but never defended him and lets face it raynor never behaved like cockayne does on the pitch and alot of people on twitter,facebook and on here seem to be applauding and defending cockaynes actions if he was a fc player i would be ashamed of him, its the same with any player who has been in trouble with the law they are bound to get abuse about it but they should of thought about these things befor comitting the crime they need to man up take it on the chin and be the bigger man and ignore it.

Classic Cockayne.

The same could probably be said of a significant majority of RL players. And footballers. And boxers.



The fact remains - you were mixed in with a large number of WTW fans (you know - the way it should be) and he celebrated a win with his team-mates and home supporters; you just happened to be there.



It's not all about you.

You realy are naive, a quick visit to cockaynes twitter account will prove he knew he would be winding up the fc fans.

Agreed

Great kick chase on him!

Then maybe you should learn to let go? You only get wound up if you let yourself get wound up.



Your collective rancour has only served to get him trending on Twitter - Hull FC fans have made Ben Cockayne into RL's Robbie Savage.
