Widnes will go nowhere though Salford at least have a chance with Koukash.

There's many who laughed at us (I expect a lot of Salford fans) during the Cullen years about our false dawns, always next year to win a trophy etc.

Salford aren't a laughing stock, they just don't get pity and sympathy any more as they have got other clubs on alert as a threat so everyone else is more keen to see them fail.

Spot on.

I agree with this. Always hate it when I see fans reporting things that players do. It's often people who've spent the entire game abusing the opposition as well. These things work both ways.

I agree just look at all the silly media fuss King Eric got when he simply demonstrated his karate skills to the Crystal Palace supporters a few year back.

Anyone remember a few years before that when we played at Thrum Hall and a player launched into the crowd to batter someone who questioned his wife's easy virtue?

Ian Gormley. He'd just been sin-binned for, as they say in The A-Team, "a crime he did not commit" (holding down when, clearly, we could see the Halifax player was clinging on to him to milk a penalty). The crowd were giving him verbals so he went to have a chat with them. The locals scattered like a Big Issue seller had just parachuted into their midst. Tommy Grainey (assistant coach) jumped in to get him off the terraces before he blobbed someone.

That was it, I seem to remember a bottle had been thrown first though

I remember Gormley jumping over the wall it was like moses parting the red sea. The gobby fax fans absolutely shat themselves and ran for their lives.

I remember that too. I've never seen a crowd disperse so quickly. I spoke to him the week after and he just grinned and said the red mist had come down.

Trust you to know a trouble causer

Bet the Doc would have been able to stop him though.

This bottle incident has reared it's head again in the newspaper today.

Someone might've been telling porkies at some point. The whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion I think.
