Beat ourselves in the 1st half. All that dropped ball and having to defend set after set.
I'm not saying we ever would have beat Wigan today but I lost count of how many times the commentary team said " that should've been a penalty" - it started on tackle 1!!!

Shame as we have lost the momentum we had built over the last month or so.

Why were people more excited about the Charnley tackle than the Evalds break from his own in goal area?? No one mentioned the holding down that followed.

The Wigan love-in by the Sky team is sickening, I wonder if it will still turn my stomach when they are doing it about us......................I can only dream.
Same old Salford.

A great many of the culprits are on my sig below.

Good post, Red John, but

I doubt football allegiances have anything to do with it. Some people just see themselves/their club as victims regardless. I know a few people who don't even follow football who've acted like that about Salford. I think it's an inevitable part of being down the bottom for years on end. Supporters of all "smaller" clubs start to think that way across all sports. To continue the United analogy, look at the amount of people who've claimed they never get a decision at OT. It's a siege mentality that comes from supporting an unsuccessful club.

Then again, it's also a rugby league supporter trait to think that every official is turd and out to get you. Have a gander at the RL Meltdown account on Twitter...

Some great posting and some real perspective.

On a positive note I have seen larger numbers of Salford supporters having a pre/après match beer in new West Didsbury (Monton) which is a good thing. I don't know how this visibility has been reflected in your gates, but, there is certainly a little bit of a buzz going on as far as I can make out.

A strong finish this year rather than the season petering out would be good for your club and good for the league we need more strong teams for a better comp

I mentioned Untied because I think this was where it changed from being something the more deluded fans did into something that was almost club policy. It seems Alex Ferguson rarely saw United lose a game fairly, but only because of dark forces behind the scenes. Apologists would try to explain it with the anodyne "Fergie's mind games", when the real explanation - the one they never used - was "Ferguson's being a dick again". It makes me wonder if this was a tipping point and why we seem to see the conspiracies more often nowadays.

It happens across football (Arsene Wenger - "I did not see the incident"icon_wink.gif and sport (often "Salford only won because we were sh*t"icon_wink.gif. It's a modern day symptom of professional sport and the analysis, scrutiny and pressure people are under, not a symptom of supporting a particular club.
