| Absolute muppets.
I questioned the scarves over faces thing after the Saints game and was told it was just for one photo and only a couple of lads doing it.
Also I'm pretty sure most of the Brigantes 'leaders' are there - Jimmy Birts, Odem, etc? Apologies if I'm wrong though.

[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 These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the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]: |

Are they the three adults in this group who look like they should know better? One guy looks around 50 yet seems to want to go to the rugby with a load of ale'd up teenaged children making muppets of themselves!! As one of the poster remarked above, what makes grown men want to hang around with kids is seriously worrying yet slightly amusing at the same time!?!
Guess its the kudos of fact that because of their age they become an unchallenged leader in the group, which they probably struggle to achieve with people in their own age group, because they are invariably viewed as losers by their own peers!
Sure the ugly ginger kid at the end is also the lad that caused all the trouble with cas fans at Murryfield magic and then came on here protesting his innocence, claiming he wasnt an idiot, and just a genuine fan....this would seem to suggest otherwise!!

| i'm sorry but that was very sad! now if i witness that when wigan visit warrington it will give me something to laugh about for years to come!
i've seen people stating the scarf over the face thing was done because it can be cold at times! please how stupid do you think people are? the police will begin to take a serious interest in this childish gang mentality if it continues, very silly behaviour!

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| I have seen wire and saints fans walking from the train station to the ground singing! That is all that went on. No violence. Nobody having too much to drink. No trouble.
We walked through the centre of the town to the pub singing and went for a drink. Then went to the ground, when we got their we were singing. Let lads be lads. It is just a bit of singing in the street. We got off the train and were followed by many younger lads attaching themselves to the group, we don't mind. We were just singing, nobody got hurt, no trouble!
I saw many other things on that day which nobody has mentioned, lads blind drunk with red faces also seen in riversiders shirts occasionally, nobody ever mentions them!
That is all the group has to say on the issue really.... I can't be doing with another RL fans 18page thread so I will leave it there.

The kids from the McDonalds video are from Standish High, think this lot are a little to old to be at school.

That's just an urban myth. Only if copyright infringement has occurred - i.e. the person who didn't own the copyright puts it on YT. But I'm sure you knew that already. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Its not the singing...its the singing about the town being full of s**t, covering faces, and walking down the road with banners blocking the place off etc that I think most fans would object to as being intimidating/ offensive and inciting trouble. OK so a large proportion of fans will sing these songs on the ground, but singing them in the middle of the town, where there are people and families with kids who may just be out shopping, going about their general business, acting this way is wrong IMO. Further its only a matter of time before similar mindless morons from the opposing team start responding to this, we end up with a stand off, a few to many drinks and it all boils over.
Why not just walk to the ground (on the pavement), sing when you're at the stadium, and have a good time like the majority of fans, rather than acting like children and looking for trouble.
Also to compare this to the riversiders lads, who at all matches just go for a laugh, a crack, and a few drinks, and never cause any trouble is a joke. No one ever mentions them as they dont cause trouble, or even get close to it! Ok so many of them get blind drunk...so what! So they had red faces? How the hell is this comparable?!!!!....hardly walking through saints town centre, with scarfs over their faces, blocking roads and shouting offensive chants like some EDL march is it?!
How you can fail to see this as threatening, offensive, and inciting trouble is beyond me?! Your about one level down from the chavs in mcdonalds last week. Grow the hell up, watch the rugby like an adult, and then you might find that adults actually want to be friends with you, rather than having friends, as it seems by your videos, who are moronic teenagers!

| Ps. Yes I have also seen groups of teenagers from st helens and wire walk through wigan like this. The last occasion after the wire game when 30-50 of them were singing and shouting abuse on the canal towpath at the families and normal fans who were just crossing the bridge to go home- people who may be elderly, or have children.
...I thought the same of them as I do when watching your videos...childish morons!

You look like the pied piper of pre-pubescent p155 head plonkers.
That is absolutely cringe worthy.

Was it necessary to block the main road out of the bus station though? Could you not have walked on the pavement like every other person with a shred of intelligence?
