“My son recently was in a glassing incident. Because it was a plastic glass he came away with a broken nose and bruising. If it had been a proper glass who knows what would've happened. All pubs should be using plastic glasses pemanently.”

“Now,had they banned drinking when they banned smoking none of this would have happened. I've never heard it reported that someone kicked the living daylights out of someone after having had 10 CIGS,but I have heard after someone smelled the barmaids apron. Ban it!”

“Sarah, no one has been glassed or bottled at City match. but it happens frequently in the city centre. So, using that as the basis for a decision, the town centre should use palstic and the pubs around the KC should continue with glasses.”

“Tim, this article is about using plastic glasses because of supporters. How many people have been glassed or hit by a bottle at football? None. The description of what happened that day was an exaggeration verging on a downright lie. I just hope the landlady was misquoted otherwise she doesn't deserve the custom of any city fans. No bottles or glaases were raining down in the pub. People were stood watching the Stoke v Tottenham game. As uusual the place slipped up, let the West Ham fans escape from surveillance and then try and put the whole thing back on football fans.
What has all your rubbish about snipers etc to do with this?
Though, given the amount of RL players who have been done for glassing and bottling people going back many years, naming no names but they were crooks, then they should insist on plastic glasses and bottles whereever RL players drink.”

“Any sport has 'supporters' who are violent. Both my son and I support Hull City and have had no problems and seen no problems. The police idea is sound but, in my opinion, unnecessary since it is a minority who cause the problem and the police are paid enough to sort it out.”

“So Sarah....how many glassings have there been at Hull City games over the years ?”

“This isn't about the police dictating, it's about trying to stop people being glassed. Beer doesn't taste as good out of a plastic beaker, but rather that then somebody losing their sight, or worse, from the minority who seem to insist on spoiling things for everyone else.”

HULL FC star Gareth Raynor has been spared jail after he admitted a racist assault on a nightclub doorman.

The 30-year-old winger pleaded guilty to the attack on doorman Sallah Jeng in December last year and was handed a suspended prison sentence.

Preston Crown Court heard Raynor launched a flying rugby tackle at the doorman and hurled racial abuse at Mr Jeng as he tried to usher him out of a Blackpool lap-dancing club, where he had been with a stag party.

Raynor, who helped his team to victory in Sunday's Challenge Cup semi-final, was described as a role model and spared jail after references from Hull FC and the Rugby Football League were handed to the judge.

In a statement on the club's website, he said: ¿I am deeply embarrassed at this situation. I wish to apologise for the embarrassment this situation will have caused the club.”

“Fact is Dave, Hull that Footie has a much worse reputation than RL. The supporters are more likely to cause damage. The players like to get one another sent off. Your stadia are full of snipers. They must be, the number of times I've seen grown athletes hit the grass. Managers and players have to be reminded how to conduct themselves and a so-called Respect campaign has to be begun by the FA. Finally clubs are in trouble for racial chanting. Sorry mate give me RL any day.”

“As far as rugby league goes, Tim, they want to use palstic glasses where the players drink given the number of incidents involving glasses and bottles with thugby league players.”
