No time for happy clappers and i can never understand anyone that leaves early when the game is in the balance.

what an original and insightul topic

EXACTLY! - The game was only 12-6, and fans leaving with twenty mintues left CLEARLY shows no faith in the side.... 6 points in it, 20 minutes left, surely, you have to agree that that is a sign of no faith in Wigan? There's no way you can disagree with that... especially you 'Charlie Seeling', you sound like an intelligent bloke, surely you can understand where I'm coming from there...

But I wanted to leave early so I left early. Is there a problem with this? I never intended to stay to the end, so it wouldn't matter if they'd been winning (or losing) by fifty. I don't see how or why people should be criticised for exercising their freedom of choice. Its not like a crime. Why let it irritate you?
For what its worth, the people who stay till the end don't irritate me.

To be honest, it's a nothing thread. Some go early, some don't. It's the same across the game. They're all still fans. It's the ones who sit in their armchairs at home rather than going in the first place who aren't genuine fans - and there are plenty of those, many of whom openly admit it, who regularly post on the boards of other clubs.

Right, your not even talking about the same thing - If you leave regardless of them winning or loosing then you clearly have nothing to do with this debate - If you'd read into what we are talking about, we're discussing why people leave & boo based on the teams performance - You leave regardless of this performance, therefore, it doesen't concern you - Hence the reason i didn't reply to your first post, because it was totally irrelevant - If you leave regardless, then that's your decision, maybe you want to beat traffic? I don't know - But what I'm stressing, is why people boo and leave based on Wigan playing bad, nothing else.

What annoys me is seeing at least 2 so called proffesional rugby league players who look as though their pr season has consisted of eating pies.The two i mean are riddel & smith,both might turn out to have outstanding seasons(i hope) but at moment both look unfit and carrying a fair bit off weight.

Don't get me wrong I was as bitterly dissapointed with Wigan's performance and Mathers' lack of balls as the next man.

However, Wigan fans that boo the team, and especially those that booed Mathers on his return from the sin bin are feable.

It's these kind of deluded fans that thought after the Huddersfield game last year that the only reason we ain't winning the league is due to a 'lack of pride in the shirt'.

The way he was puffing and trying to get out to the wing for a breather every 5 mins.

Come on, he wasn't alone in that.

However, I wouldn't argue that he didn't do much. He tried, but nothing came off for him, and all it usually amounted to was costing us possession (often on the 3rd tackle).
