Quote: Upanunder "bollox, Flower knew where his forearm was heading long before he looked away, and by "long" I mean fractions of a second.
Still, he didn't hurt nobody so what's the problem, I mean if O'loughlen can get away with what he did then Flower deserves an apology for the red really.
Does it seem like there's been more red cards for Wigan this season than usual....I dunno'"


Meh, as stated, I'll agree with Tony Smith and you can keep looking for Red Hall conspiracies and boo hoo-ing about nasty evil Wigan.

Seen it quite a few times now and still can't see a great deal in it. Patton was fine, and to his credit didn't make theatricals out of it. You see things just as bad most weeks. Luke Walsh's upending the other week was much more dangerous IMO. For me it was a forearm meant for the chest, from I tired frustrated player, and he will get what is deemed to be deserved. The usual piranhas, and mole-hill mountain makes are always looking for any excuse to say the word thug, ad nauseam. So let um!

It was not a great one and deserves 2-3 easily

never a fan of attacks on the kicker as he is a very vulnerable position. Mind you i hate any form of attack on prone or vulnerable players.

It has to be said that the Powell KO was a bad one IMO. Totally clumsy of Currie to put his knees in that area and the outcome of a full on knee smash to the temple must be worse than an elbow to the jaw.

I know the lad is crocked and will miss a good few games by the sound of it but this needs citing IMO.

Same goes for any player that does it (Sam T.....)

Must be said though that before the brain fart, Flower was in true beast mode. Making silly yards and scattering defenders left right and chelsea

Will be missed

What....the conspiracy is for Red Hall to ensure Wigan get more red cards than usual ??

I don't think Flower's challenge was anything like as bad as O'loughlens, and that is still playing, if Flower gets more than one or two games I think he's been unlucky.

Tony Smith can't say F'all, Flowers sending off didn't hinder Wire or injure Patten but they still lost, so what would be the point in bitching about the challenge........s'right, no point at all, so shaddap about Tony Smith

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

No you suggested there's a conspiracy to give Wigan lenient treatment at disciplinary hearings, and then admitted you know 'f'all' about Wigan's disciplinary record so maybe it's you who should 'shaddap'.

PS you reckon Flower deliberately attacked the player with a forearm/elbow to the neck but will be unlucky to get more than a game ban? Maybe if you didn't type such nonsense people would understand what you meant, yeah?

I bet Shaun Wane thinks BF is not guilty and i'm sure he will be at Red Hall this week with Flower to let them know he didn't mean it, and he also has an exemplary disciplinary record and has never attacked a players head......
1 game ban and back for the semi.

Well, Tony Smith didn't think it was a Red Card, so we can always use that as part of the defence.

I miss the good old days when Wire and Saints fans would come on here and try and troll us..

These days the amount of lower class dingles, lobby's and mouth breathing Cas fans is a sad reflection of things

Been charged with a Grade C offence - guidelines = 2/3 game ban if found guilty.

Unfortunately (for some fans of opposing clubs) burning at the stake is not on the recommended list of guilty punishments.
