I'm sure you're right, but it has no relevance to this topic.

Yeh, fully agree, no one has mentioned the Moa incident at all have they? Oh... Wait.... there's already a 5 page thread on it, my mistake...
What on earth has that alleged incident got to do with a player who hasn't particular done anything to anyone being called what he was for 80 minutes?

| From my vantage point in the Boston stand it did seem to knock Foster psychologically. Job done?

| Whats the problem in calling him a w@nker? He's a nothing player who thinks he's the dogs knackers and celebrates when he kicks a penalty (did it in the grand final). Not really sure that questioning his sex life is a major problem. They could have gone a lot further which would happen at football and has happened at Wigan many times in the past.

I agree, why should opposition players be made to feel comfortable?
Now racially abusing a player is an entirely different matter and should not be tolerated.

It's not questioning his sex life, it's just abusing him. And was completely uncalled for, unlike other incidents of booing players. It really was an embarrassingly poor performance for him in the end though, he looked totally out of confidence. I'm fine with trying to undermine that, but just abusing him as a person, not a player, will hardly do that will it?
The fans going much further is one of the reasons I don't watch football (along with the product). Went to a Latics match with a friend a few years back, the home fans just spent the match picking out members of the visiting crowd and abusing them. So much fun  probably because there wasn't anything to watch on the field...

Suppose it doesn't work that way? Suppose it galvanises the crap out of the player in question, to the point where he is more determined than ever to punish you? Would it be a sensible policy then?
Didn't happen that way last night, I admit ... but let's not kid ourselves, Hull's heavy defeat was nothing to do with the efforts of the Brigantes.
I just find that whole mob mentality, which I associate far more with football crowds (and Wire), pathetic.

Pretty sure that's called homophobic abuse. I'd prefer it if we kept away from that, especially after Cas got fined 40k for it the other year. That's money that could be spent on player development or marketing.
re the Brigantes, singing the songs that people already know is obviously going to improve the atmosphere, which is what they were originally supposed to be about. It's not good singing a load of songs nobody knows and half the time can't make out, because they're not gonna catch on. Some cracking songs have been introduced, and we already have plenty good songs from before Brigantes were formed, so why not use them more often?
