The way they expectantly roared 'Forward!' like two Saints speccys made me laugh. You would have thought that when even the Saints players didn't appeal they would have got the hint but not these two clots.

As a Wigan supporter I love these two guys. They are so biased its hilarious. They must be really bitter when we win, it just makes the victory so much sweeter

What a sad barsteward.

How can stevo claim a knock on when it hit Deacons head....hes the so called expert.

the ref did as well!

even the most cherry and white tinted speccy wearing wiganer can surely not think that this is true, it was blatantly forward, just look to maguires reaction after it and the sly grin that followed (this made me laugh).

It was a forward pass,after the try the sky coverage showed Maguire and Wane and Maguire can be clearly seen to say forward with a grin on his face

Read it in the papers, as Slaphead is fond of saying (when it's not Wigan).

People clearly havent seen the game against saints where meli equalised of a forward pass at cardiff. As I said on the VT swings and roundabouts.

This was while you were being TOLD on SKY what Hemmings and Stevenson thinks they said, you mean ?

You shouldn't let the 'mass media' think for you.

Just watch again the clip after the try,Maguire says " forward " to Shaun Wane,Wane replies " do you think so ? ",Maguire says "yeah " then nods with a huge grin on his face.The mass media didnt need to tell us what we thought,it was plain for almost everyone to see.

Anyway enough on that,it was a cracking game with some talented young English players on both sides,i think we can all agree on that point

Stevo is bang on, you cannot playthe ball with your head whether it be accidental or intentional. decision knock on, scrum.

See section 10 of the 'rules of the game'

well done Silverwood

Surely the ball hit him in the face. Is that really classed as playing the ball with your head?

He didnt play the ball...so he was incorrect..the ball hit him.

I saw that. Definite chicken wing.

charnleys 1st try was forward... but nowhere near as forward as meli's try at millenium magic

stevo says if he gives this it's a disgrace . what a bleedin clown this guy is

The pass was as forward as Katie Price on her 8th botle of blue WKD.

but What you have now is Eddie and Clarke in a petty battle.

Clarke is pro Wigan and now has his own catch phrase "D'you Know Eddie Wigan are the best team in the competition at...etc etc" and Eddie loves it when he is proved completetly wrong

one example was the "D'you know Eddie Wigan are the best team in the league at scoring from drop outs" When Wigan lost possession on the first or second Tackle and Saints raced up field you could imagine Eddie was flicking the V's at Clarkey while trying to contain himself but gleefully proving clarke wrong with "they wont score from this drop out.."

as a Wire fan its funny, but to be fair i'm not that fussed on any of them. Stevo in particular is a complete joke. The Hull derby commentary team of Bill Arthur, Barrie Mac and Terry O were much better.

and special mention to Brian Carney who is the best of the lot of em.

Behave! watch the replay, hell put it on mute so you can't hear the two tarts going on about how far forward it was, something i could have spotted for myself, christ, stevie wonder could have seen how forward it was. But watch it again, and watch Mcguire, not listen to eddie and stevo, your own coach admitted it, so maybe you should stop pretending like the whole world is against you by claiming it was forward and just be glad you got away with it.

mass majority of us know it was
im just glad we got that decision seems the first weve had go for us in a while

It looked forward from the West stand, and the replay confirmed it. Mistakes happen and the game continues but the commentators are still harping on 15 minutes later. If anything gives the game a bad name it is two so called experts running down one incident again and again. Nothing will change a decision by the officials and certainly not two over opinionated camera hoggers.Replace them with players recently retired Carney, Wells, or bring back C Warren and play to the positives of the game not constantly bleat about officials

true mate, and i'm not trying to tar you all with the bias brush, but to try and say it wasn't is unreal.

as for your second comment..... no comment!

Come on though, if it had happened in our game, you wouldn't be complaining about them moaning about it would you? They are entitled to say what they want as they have the mic's, i'm not saying i agree with them all of the time because i don't, but if you don't like it that much then send sky or boots'n'all an email.

Watch the vid' and look where the players feet are in relation to the lines on the pitch when the ball is passed.
