They didn't con anyone MM had just been told as captain to calm him and his players down, the very next tackle he clearly hits peacock with a high shot, he deserved everything he got.
the game was niggly all the way through, from both sides, wigan just took it a bit further by turning it into foul play, which nearly cost them the game, these getting under the skin tactics will work sometimes but not all.
Some wigan fans could do with learning how to be graceful in victory as well as defeat.'"
Yeah, problem with that though is the thread title. We (well me at least) are only responding *in this thread* to that, and the associated putting-down of a great performance by Wigan. If we'd started a thread entitled 'ha, ha, rubbish Leeds lose' or whatever, you'd have a point about grace in victory. On the other hand, with Bailey in your team, few people will find it easy to be graceful when they beat you. |

You can keep going on about Bailey but he's no where near as bad as other fans make out, he actually rarely does many things that can be considered 'thuggish' he tends to just run in trying to act the hard man, as I say a pantomime villain, the only 'thuggish' behaviour on saturday (which is the game in question) was from wigan, again, I think that was part of their game plan and it worked...just. |

Good, i'm glad you agree that comparing a player kicking out to morons taking players out off the ball, taking players out after they've passed the ball, attacking the legs of players as third man in, head high tackles, elbows in faces on the ground and the other ****house tactics employed by Wane and Co is just laughable.

Exactly. Leeds fans are hardly in a position to lecture anyone about graceful behaviour. "Dirty Wigan" and "Corruption alive and well" are two threads that sprung up the moment they lost.  |

You would have a point if I had started any of those threads, but I didn't. For the record what some Leeds fans post and start threads on is embarrassing. Although the thread title of this one is pretty much spot on for how Wigan played on Saturday, it paid off, it got them the win, but even as a wigan fan you must be able to see that the game plan was obviously to rub Leeds up the wrong way and play 'dirty'. so the thread title is hardly being ungracious.

Your posts rarely make sense, or actually contribute to the discussion, smileys or not.

Whatever makes the defeat easier to swallow. Obviously this thread and the other were created solely to soften the blow of losing a game you never contemplated losing. It must be because wigan cheated or the refs are corrupt. |

| Quote: Him "It was only on the Super Zoom replays that it was clear it was a knock on. Initially Moon catches the ball and the ball is pushed against the Wigan player. That isn't a knock-on since Moon still has control of the ball. It's after that where the ball comes out of Moon's grasp and then hits the Wigan player (hits his hand IIRC) that it's a knock-on, the ball flies up into the air a little and then Moon catches it on his way down and grounds it.
A knock on, but certainly wasn't clear to start with. And I believe it's only recently that the VR has been able to use the Super Zoom capability, in previous years that would probably have been given even with the Video Ref reviewing it.'"
The correct call was made by the VR, end of story.
How ever dirty Wigan were and how ever much Leeds fans feel hard done by, it was a try.
Game over |

I'm not sure I've seen or heard any Leeds fan complain about the no try. So close for us but the ball does hit Manfredi on the nose so correct call. |

To be honest I very rarely get upset at losing these days, I've more things to worry about, especially when its a mid season game which will likely not effect who wins the title in any way shape or form.
I do enjoy discussing games and reading other people's take on what happened on the field. If you actually read what I have written I've said the best side won, I never said they cheated and I have never ever thought or written that i think anyone, including the refs, are corrupt, I'm not that childish. |
