We've had this discussion on several occasions and a conclusion has been drawn that fans from nearly every team frequently misspells his name along with Mcguire and Burrows so an amnesty has been called on such spellings.

More often than not, it's usually by the "could of", "should of" and "would of" brigade.

1230.gif “You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

| I agree the RFL should censure Tomkins for gesturing at the crowd and that the respect the referees get is just not good enough, Tomkins should not be grabbing the referee for example
The attitude of Wigan fans to this is typical of a "my club is more important than the game" a spreading disease (it was an attitude invented in Wigan after all), it is why attendances from neutrals at cup finals and anyone at internationals have fallen because there is no community to the game, there is more joy in others failure than in their own success
i will be at all of england's internationals this year, i didnt attend the non international farce where players wore england shirts earlier this year - i hope tomkins turns out to be the messiah that wigan fans believe him to be rather than a player playing in a position for his club to hide his defensive frailties and because he couldnt oust a NRL reject from his preferred position who looks good in a winning team and barely registers at the highest level

| Quote: Hoofer "Hanson
I long ago gave up on these forums, but your original post has tempted me out of retirement.
It's probably the most childish, bitter post I've ever seen on RL Fans, and that's going some.
Just what exactly do you hope to achieve by a boycott of England RL matches?
And I'm not defending Tomkins behaviour; it was nearly as immature as your reaction to it.
I was on the tube back to Baker Street after the game with a lot of very knowledgeable Leeds fans, and in discussion there wasn't mention of that incident; there was some (in my opinion) justified comment that Wigan got the "rub of the green" overall, but they showed an appreciation of perspective that you seem to lack.'"
Welcome back ... How was Gerry Rafferty ?

Damm, I wish I'd have thought about putting it like that ...

| Most teams take the P out of Tomkins.
(some) Leeds fans merely insert one.

| All valid points, Some sense on a ridiculous thread.
Following this childish train of thought I assume all non Leeds fans wanted to boycot England games for the actions of Lee SMith who stood on the advertising boardings pleasuring himself after Leeds won last years semi.
No, didn't think so.

| Absolutely pathetic reaction from some hypocritical Leeds fans. The incident seems to have wound them up but the Leeds players are hardly angels are they? I assume you are mostly adults but you need to grow up Leeds fans and stop crying about it. Are you offended by Sam Tomkins actions? Are you offended?
