[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]:



No doubt this will probably end up locked because those within the brigantees group wont be able to respond to general discussion but felt this needed raising.....

When I watch videos like this I cant help but think this is all going to end in nothing but trouble im afraid, and going to drag the good name of Wigan RLFC and rugby league through the mud!

I know most of the brigantees arguments on here usually end up being black and white depending whether those posting are in or out of the brigantees clique, but im actually not generally one of the brigantees bashers- I think there's certain things they've done which are very good such as the flags and improvements in atmosphere etc. however the element within the group which seem to think they are some sort of european football firm need to be stopped.

Im all for pre-match atmosphere and singing and banter with the opposition, but walking though an away teams town centre blocking the road with a silly banner, with scarves round their face, and singing about the town being s**t , and 'we'll do what we want'' etc. is just asking for trouble. At the very best its intimidating to any general members of the public and is not something I want our great club to be associated with - at worst, its got potential to start a mini riot/ mass brawl! They only need to run into a similar group from the opposition, or a few fans or general public who take exception and it will all kick off.

If afraid if this is repeated at warrington we'll end up seeing a town centre kick off because their idiots will respond badly to this.

Lets go, raise the atmosphere, sing in the ground, have a few beers and a good laugh from the oppostion but we need to remember this isnt football, and cut all this ultra's cr@p before it ends up doing some damage!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg

Did anyone ever find the mysterious Whittle and did he still have that flag?
