I clapped them and most people round me did. It's called sportsmanship.

Yeah i know, But if you're being outplayed and they score a good try, then you have to take you're hat off to 'em. Personally i don't see anything wrong with applauding a good try from the opposition...

Agreed. They put in a tremendous performance tonight (especially considering their short turnaround when they beat Wire on Sunday). That's probably the best they have played for a good few years and unfortunately for them they had no support tonight (didnt actually see ANY of their fans). They deserved applause.

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

These days??? PMSL. Try the last 30 sunshine.
Your post just about sums up the Wire Glory Hunters! Rugby League didn't start 2 years ago when you won a cup love.

| Booooooo!
That was to the fans who can't show respect and appreciation to the other team for good play. I will applaud the opposition for a good play AND a good score, I won't cheer. It's something that I think the younger generation call "respect", apparently something they deserve but not from what I have read in this thread.

| Here we gk again we always have stupid threads like this- who cares what the other fans do as long as they aren't fighting, setting fires and raiding the pitch!! I didnt clap, didn't boo and stayed till the end but that doesn't make me any more of a fan than people who clapped, booed and left early, it's up to them what they wanna do when they go to the matches as long as it stays within the law.

How so? Wigan lost and many fans applauded the Dragons play. I say good sportmanship, respect what others have done and say "well done". Isn't this something that's done in Warrington?

| I didn't applaud their tries, I didn't boo the Wigan lads - I'd never ever boo them.
But I can understand people clapping the Cats tries, they put a bit of effort in.
IL said in the South Stand Bar after hearing our fans clap the Catalans players it brought tears to his eyes and he appreciated the muted booing from our fans...

| Show respect to Catalan for some good skill, possibly, but to boo our own and cheer Catalan was crazy. The "moral high ground" is utterly pointless.

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Mild applause wasn't embarrassing.
The drum banging and CAT-AL-ANS chanting was! That was too far.

| Some good replies here. I agree that the Catalans performance was very good and deserved applause at the end of the game when they had won, but I'd still question the applause of a mediocre try, applause that appeared to occur just because we were being beaten. I'd like to think all supporters in the ground applauded at the final whistle though, as has been said that's good sportsmanship.

I remember the 82 Kangaroos (one of the greatest sides I've ever witnessed) score full length tries for fun against GB. So much so the Aussies were roundly applauded for their brilliance on the day by the British crowd. It's not something that happens very often, probably wouldnt happen against a main rival.
