I'm sure the people that did it spent the entire 80 minutes politely applauding everything the Saints players did well.

The fans that love to dish out constant abuse are the ones that cannot take it when opposition players give a bit back, they are the ones that need to grow up.

Typical Scouser .... lots to say .... nothing worth listening to!

He was sat at the top in the middle

Absolute idiots of the highest order...who would waste beer on James Graham?

,

and once more



re: the beer incident. What did the Saints players expect to happen celebrating in the way they did in front of the Wigan fans. Celebrate with your teammates and your own fans by all means, but to celebrate like that is goading at the end of the day and they should've expected a reaction. The poster earlier who said that all clubs has an idiot element is fully justified and unless spectators are subject to some sort of psychological testing and only the ones who can be trusted are let in the ground, then players need to show some respect to fans.

ps the n00b(s) who held on to the flag before the game just make themselves look like idiots and end up ruining the effect the flag is supposed to create. If any of them had done the same with the massive flag that goes round the Kop, there'd be murder

The 2 issues are separate!

Wellens went down in my estimation for celebrating in that way.

BUT

He could have spat at my kids and it wouldn't have warranted that type of behaviour from some of our fans.
Lets not try and find excuses where there are none!

lets cut to the chase who the hell kept hold of that bloody flag to long. Can we get cctv coverage of that stand this must be stamped out now

What worried me most was when he finally let go, the force that the flag was pulled away he nearly went flying down the steps. It wont be long before any accident happens or the flag gets ripped and it wont be going up in the South Stand anymore. Thats my main problem, it will be spoilt by one person needing to grow up.

Have you got nothing better to do than moan about a flag being pulled on? Jesus you really need a long hard look at yourself Coventry. Im not accepting this behaviour in any way shape of form as me and two lads told the lad to let go but what I am saying is rather than maoning about it on here tell the club and let them look at the CCTV cameras and deal with it like that.

Its pathetic reporting it to the club, hopefully if a few people pass a comment on here which has been done, and you have also had a word, then hopefully word will get around and the childish pulling the flag will stop before something bad happens.

Anyway Ive washed my hands of this subject, I'm off to find a mirror

I noticed a couple of people holding onto the flag from over in the East stand but really, who cares?

Well, the Leeds players set the precedent and got away with it, so the scouse sheep had to follow.Perhaps the RFL should send an advisary to all teams " In the event of a victory over Wigan please feel free to approach the Wigan fans and abuse/threaten/provoke them in any form you feel appropriate. But, if you are at home, consider that your club may miss it's biggest pay-day of the year in the future."

Wellens did nothing wrong.

Its just barrell scraping from the wigan fans to justify their knuckle dragging fans.

I prefer it when the fans used to leave at half time rather than throwing missiles onto the pitch

has the wigan walk changed to the wigan sulk?

joking on one side, there does appear to be alot of people on here justifying the bad behaviour!

Missile ? a plastic bottle empty and two plastic beer cups nothing hit Graham it was right in front of us .

A witness?

Contact the club and point out who threw the stuff.

Wigan WIMPY warriors fans. Get a life. There was plenty of abuse hurled at opposing players and fans at the Old Central park. It's part of the game and what supporters do. One says he's moved his seat, that's tackling them lad, you get stuck in to your seat and give the naughty boys what for.


Jimmy is right. Some of the abuse at CP in the 60,s/70s was of a racist nature..and yes, as a kis i joined in , before i learned it was unaceptable. Standing by the wall on the duggy side were many kids (todays back of the south type), and every coloured opposition winger was given the same treatment...ie Bl*ck barsteward (apologies to mods if that not acceptable, but im telling it like it was).............so weve come a long way since those days thankfully.

the second bit re moving seats, i also agree with , as ive stated on here in the past. If everyone had that attitude , the hooligans would win...........its like Chamberlain turning a blind eye to Hitler........sometimes you need to face the problem head on.

Yet Wigan had the great Billy Boston and then Green Vigo on the wings. Unbelievable.
