It's a difficult subject this as I can see both sides of it. I grew up following Saints in the 80's and was subjected to displays that would have made last nights effort look like Brazil had just took up playing RL. I feel priviliged to be following such a successful team and as much as I have tried not to take it for granted, you can't help but expect to be turning over the Bulls and be disappointed when you don't. ATEOTD though, 15/16 year old lads who don't know the history behind the club are going to be more disappointed than me because they DEMAND success. It's not the right way to be and if we took a Wiganesque fall from grace they may suddenly be cherisihing the position we are in now.

In saying all that though, I try to put things in perspective. If you ate at a reastuarant every week and it was magnificent 9 times on the bounce but the 10th time you went, your food was awful, would you not feel you had the right to say something because of what you had previously? I would. I'd go back and expect things to return to normal but sometimes even the best need a reality check. I know it's not a perfect analolgy because restaurants don't play 3 games in 8 days, do they?



On Newton, he deserves a rinsing every now and then. The song is distasteful and I would personally never sing it ([size=59these days, now I'm older[/size), but he can hardly expect a warm reception. He cost us a league championship and it will be a long time before people forget that.

Oh, and blinkers on or off, I'd take about 5 or 6 hookers in SL before him.

I didn't think people were booing the players, they were booing the referee. It happens everywhere, the fans clapped the players off at the end, or many did anyway.

What?! Don't talk absolute e.

Some people on here have seriously short memories and I honestly can't remember a comment, in over 10 years reading the various boards, that has wound me up as much as this one.

I thought they were booing the team in the first half to be honest especially when we made silly errors. I don't agree with the booing whatsoever, I just don't see what it achieves. On the flip side, I couldn't believe people were clapping the team off either after that.

Booing your own team and cheering when Solomona was taken off injured? Will you only be happy when someone is badly injured?
Moaning about Terry Newton and yet Pryce is allowed to play with a criminal conviction? Come on Saints, sort yourselves out!

Thats a pretty big brush your tarring us all with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Don't feed the troll mate.

arn't peoples memories short its not that long ago all rugby fans were together remembering leon walker who died on the pitch playing the game he loved,Grown men chanting that about newton need to be ashamed i just hope leons parents weren't watching that game and heard it...

You don't half talk a load of crap!!!!!!!
If the ref and his sideline cronies did their job the score at the end of the match would have been totally different.
Silverwood is not fit to walk on any R/L pitch. He should pack it in NOW!!!!!
As for the atmosphere there is no better atmosphere than at Knowsley Rd.

Please tell me you're taking the mick.

At times it's like being in a morgue at our home games.
And you cannot blame the officials for us being absolutely abysmal.

Let me stay.

=redIf anyone bites at this I will give you some time out

Ty

Too much beer for the little Ski last night then?

you have no idea, try having a saints fan reffin for us!!!!!!!! Ganson is purposley controvertial to wind up the wigan fans gansun is 500x worse my friend, he hates wigan, he hates hock and is disgracfull

Good.

Also, this is what I've been saying for 5 years after wigan games. Saints get a few penaltys against them and their suddenly the most penalized team in the league PLUS the penalty count was STILL in your favour ffs!

Bitter, much?

People like him are always good to laugh at though!

Yep, almost as funny as the mighty saints getting beaten by a dier bulls side at home and then been booed off by their own supporters

Does Easter ring any bells? Back to school tomorrow for you.

You were amusing at first, but you're just repetitive now. Must try harder darlin.

yes i am at school tommorrow, your point is?

We've already got one thread about booing with select quotes from the new Einstein of the board.

We don't need two.
