Quote: Cronus "Still makes me laugh, Leeds fans all huffily precious and self-righteous about that McGuire injury and the subsequent reaction. If he hadn't illegally dragged Carmont down off the ball, he wouldn't have suffered the injury. He caused it, no-one else, and he caused it through an illegal act at a crucial moment one might deem cheating.
I won't say he deserved the injury but I'm certainly not going to feel much sympathy for someone who brings an injury on themselves in that manner. Make of that what you will but seriously, get the f*ck over it and stop whingeing.
I was there that night, sat right over the incident in question. The atmosphere was explosive, the stakes were high and it was as tense a game as I can remember. When Wigan made that break at the end not only did McGuire pull down Carmont illegally, Richards was tackled after he kicked on, also illegally. If Carmont had still been in support the result Richards could have passed inside for the match-winning try. Those events in that context - are you surprised some Wigan fans went a little mental?
As for McGuire in general, great player but he has a real grub side to his game that isn't often acknowledged but it showed on Friday. He's such a talented player he doesn't need it and it lets him down.'"
Wigan of course, commited no fouls and gave away no penalties in that match.
It would be funny if it wasn’t such a sick concept. Considering Wigans history with Mike Gregory as well, how anyone could look at what our games players do for our entertainment and be anything other than thankful to them I don’t know. As I say, it just seems a very sick concept.
