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 |

With you 100% on that Rogues.... Could not stand the booing... Pathetic. some people need to "man-up". I'm glad i never played in the same team as some of the whingeing gutless buggers sat around me. |

I for one was proud that we clapped les cats,I clapped because I saw a team that came to win and played as a team.wish I could say the same about our own team.(didn't agree with the booing though.would never boo my own team.

I agree they played well, and you are correct in that dureau played very well, it's not that I think they didn't I just don't agree with the home fans applauding them. It's just my opinion of course and it's no more correct than yours, don't think it makes me one eyed mind, in the same way as your opinion doesn't make you less of a fan. I'd like to think that not applauding the other team is not the same as being a sore loser, I didn't boo Wigan either! |

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

I clapped them because they were entertaining and playing some great attacking rugby and I also clapped Wigan when they scored and did some good things aswell (although very rare). The real problem is so called "fans" booing the team and leaving with 15 minutes remaining.

Home fans clapping the Dragons?
The word 'patronising' springs to mind.

Sounds like they deserved a round of applause and it sounded like our lot deserved the boos too. If i had gone, i would have done both. Sounds like we served up utter dross...

That Catalans performance was probably the best I've seen against us since we have been at the DW/JJB. They ripped us apart and only for a clumsy forward pass in the first half it would have been worse.

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

It wasn't a round of applause at the end of the match - that's normal for me, except when we play St.Helens and Warrington! |

I assumed the applauding was a sign of dissent from the Wigan faithful.
That said, I neither clapped or booed.

That just about sums up the bitterness thesedays you get from Wigan fans towards the mighty Wire. |

Only a pleb would come on here to gloat after their own team have been pumped on the same evening.
But then again, this is you we are talking about. |
