Are the Whinos that had a go at Graham for celebrating at the Whinos end now going to defend him for his actions?

(Great picture by the way)

Plenty of Leeds fans use the western terrace every game

And this "having a go", he just stood there arms open

What exactly was it that Graham did at the GF that was inciting the fans according to the Leeds lot?

Erm……Nothing

As I posted on a Wigan thread that got binned, Graham did it in the CC semi and the GF last year and I had no problem with either

He got a few verbals at the games and a few kids moaned about it on southstander, nothing like the level of knee jerking, exaggerating & blatant lying by the pies since Saturday

A Leeds lad scored a last minute match winner in a tight cup game against the top of the league team, he run about 5’ put on foot on the hoardings and opened his arms, he did not jump into the wigan fans, Buchanan did not scream in a kids face and no Leeds player tried to start a fight with any wigan fans. I’ve no doubt the celebrations would have been exactly the same if Leeds had scored at the other end in the same circumstances.

Like I said plenty of Leeds fans use the western terrace so why are the players not allowed to celebrate in front of them? Did you expect Graham to run 100 meters after scoring in the GF before he could start celebrating?

Did Offiah ever celebrate in front of opposition fans? I bet he was never called a w****r by wigan fans for doing it.

I totally agree with you, the mock outrage is ridiculous - but so was the Leeds fans' whenever Graham did it so I'm sure you can understand why some of the Wigan fans are moaning.

2 main differences for me.

1. The Graham score wasnt a particularmatch winner IIRC. He is entitled to celebrate and in the heat of the moment Leeds fans are also entitled to barrack him.

2. I dont recall the level of belated moaning and outright distortions we have seen from the Wigan fans coming from the Leeds forum.

My favourite comparison isnt the Offiah incident(s) but rather when Billy Wizz scored in the 1998 GF under the posts in front of the Leeds end. I dont recall the Wigan fans complaining about those celebrations.
