Threads about the Brigantes always seem to end up with pages and pages and end up going off on a tangent, usually about greatly exaggerated consequences of what they do.

There's no reason for people to be outraged by what they saw in the video, it was hardly going to cause a riot. A bit of perspective is needed for people going OTT.

Walking with the banner down the road in front of traffic is daft. It will probably needlessly annoy some people. Having said that if I was going to choose some people to annoy it wouldn't be ones that were encased in metal.

Some of the chants were out of order. Using chants with that sort of language around the town centre (I believe that's where they were) shows a lack of respect. Not everyone around cares about the game or wants to hear that sort of language or their children to hear that sort of language. I'm not one for being offended by any sort of language but some people are, it seems it's generally considered inappropriate, it's unnecessary.

As for walking round with scarves over their faces, they aren't harming anyone, they just look like idiots.

They don't appear to like the people on this forum much (to put it nicely), a lot of people on here don't seem to like them.

Not many people seem interested in finding a middle ground to make things better. Some people just want to criticise them for everything and were against the idea from the start and will continue to be that way. Likewise a few of the Brigantes that have posted on here and their board seem to be stubborn and have no interest in listening to genuine opinions people put forward and turn any slight dissent, no matter how small the matter might be or how it's put forward, into an 'us' vs 'them' 'you're either with us or against us' argument.

Talk of silent protest or banners is just ridiculous. Get a grip, you're rugby fans singing songs at games and generally doing some very good things and making a good atmosphere. You're bound to feel hard done by if you put a lot of effort into what you do only to be criticised in the process but it's hardly political.

It just seems a little ridiculous that there's such contempt going both ways.

Two words

"Grow up"

The more I see of the Brigantes the more I think it's all about them and nothing about Wigan RL.

You couldn't be more wrong.

After alot of ridiculous comments on this thread and even worse on Redvee it takes a Saints fan to put a sensible perspective on things. Thanks for posting. I should watch out though because sensible comments are not the norm on rlfans!

New avatar perhaps

You must have spent ages drawing that.

Where is that from?

yeah, cos I have nothing better to do.........

Saints toilets?

Bogs at Bolton train station, classy lot the 'Ultras'

Corprophilia

If those pictures are taken from saints ground, then on our next away game, an 'I' could fit nicely in between the 'W' and 'R' and the
'L' at the end could be changed to an E.
