hi all you pies can i make just a small comment regarding your game against us last sunday,we had a great day out only sour note was when matt cook scored for us and big pat richards booted the ball of the ground into the crowd from behind the posts,unfortunatley it hit my grand daughter in her side and has now caused a massive sore,pat waved to her as to say sorry however with my son in law winning £250 in the half time kicking comp of whitch we shared it cost me £30 ov it to make her feel better and not forwarding a complaint to your club so no hard feelings hey,,,any way on a serious note lol well played sunday best side topped the league bye far, so good luck in your gf games and maybe us as outsiders can be there with yer,

thats nowt some fat owd boot put my cat in a wheelie bin

Hope she is feeling better.

At least she's got something she can tell her own grandchildren.

I saw this happen and saw the ball hit your grandaughter. Hope she is ok and that the £30 worked lol. Saw Pat kick the ball and I can honestly say that he didnt kick it deliberately into the crowd.

I'm amazed she's alive

Seriously, no intent in it, players should be careful with the fans obviously but sometimes either a lack of thought or bad luck can turn it sour for a fan.

Hope she's ok.

In years to come she may be able to say 'Pat Richards kicked the ball and hit me the year he won Man of Steel'

Long term it may be a good thing!

Once saw a kid on the Kop wall at Central Park get sent flying when smacked full in the face by a defender kicking the ball dead. It was about a 5 foot fall as well on the other side. Painful

Hiya mate, Wasnt i supping with you outside the crown pub after the game? Being the only wigan fans there you were all a great lot.. even when the carload of wigan fans went past shouting Wan@ers at the hull kr fans it was squeaky bum time as i thought i was gonna get filled in! Your boy was telling me he was shaking with nerves doing the ht kicking... he couldve fooled us!!

All the best to your team too mate

I bet if you contacted Pat via twitter he would apologise to you himself. Strikes me as that type of bloke.

Hope the wheelie bin was full of cat crap out of peoples gardens.

My dad once got smacked in the back of the head by the ball at CP during an academy match as he was putting my brother on the wall, the ball bounced back onto the pitch, and he didnt have a clue what happened.
