Quote: No1 Saint "anyone who has watched rugby back in the dark days when Wigan dominated (through being the only FTP team) will understand your point. I grew up surrounded by arrogant Wigan fans (Ashton used to be dominated by Goons), this slipped somewhat over recent years but it's now back in force. It's what made me chuckle when some of the younger fans on here started to feel sorry for Wigan when they were struggling , I bet that wont happen again if/when Wigan slip.'"


This!

People around me felt sorry for them after the 75-0 game, especially as they had shipped 70 the week before.

I told them to not be stupid and that a foot should always be kept across their throat when they were down.

RL fans are fortunate that the internet was not so readily available (if at all) when Wigan were in their pomp, because they would have been a 1000 times more unbearable than they are now.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

What has that to do with something that didn't happen being posted about a game on Saturday (which was the original topic) by a fan who in one post claims to be neutral and in another claims to be a Saints fan.

lol maybe they will care what you think on cherry and white. I hope your being ironic too , I mean the king of detrailing threads having the audacity to moan about someone else lol. as for what did or didnt go on at the game , who's to say , you (biased Wiganer) say one thing, a neutral who may or may not be a Saints fan says another.

Let me please explain why I only questioned the post today. I was sat with my friend in the stand for 75 minutes of the game and never heard any of this so called chanting. I was actually sat just in front of one of the saints academy lads parents and we had a good conversation about certain player on both sides whilst watching the game.

With about five minutes to go we walked behind the posts to watch the last few minutes of the game from there, as we generally do, so my mate can get off the car park quickly. I still hadn't heard of this so called chanting.

So with this in mind I asked another couple of mated who were still in the stand at the end of the game, and guess what they hadn't heard anything either.

Then when I check his posts he appears to contradict himself as to who he supports, and quite a few of his posts are about fans "falling out" with each other.

"Rogues" in response to you questioning my team allegance, I will confirm that my preferred team ]was] St Helens and this was the case until 2008. Following cup finals (C.Cup and Grand Final) I lost my enjoyment of the game after witnessing too many idiots falling out with each other with both opponents fans and own fans - no doubt booze fuelled!
Since then I've followed grass roots rugby and the occasional U18s/U20s fixtures. OK - I do still always look out for Saints results first and I guess I'll always see Saints as my preferred team but I'm certainly no longer a supporter.
Hope this clears this up for you.

Now back to my main point, I completely disagree with you saying there was no ]"so called chanting" ]. This was clearly heard from the back of the stand after the Wigan winger scored the final try and the conversion. This was late on (78 mins) by memory so I'll give you the benefiit of the doubt that you had left.
Comments from others also back-up my post of the general attitude of some "fans" so please focus on my points rather than questioning any motives I may have.

Nice to hear of your keen interest in the Saints yet again, you do seem to be most interested and always willing to comment on a team YOU claim not to follow!!!!!!!!!!!!
