Quote St pete="St pete"I held nothing against Connolly, he went for the money, its his job and got to get what he can as its a short career.
Gaz Hock was treated like the saviour had returned when he'd returned from at two years drug ban, it was like the hero had returned.
He was still a great lad when he gouged somebody, pushed the ref, headbutted LMS and all the other poor behaviour he did on the field and off.
The crazy thing is, you lot 100% backed his shocking behaviour, especially the gouging but the second he wants more money, you lot think he's the devil.
He's a horrible horrible person and your better off without him, he brings the game down with his shocking behaviour.'"
What does that make all the saints fans who said they would sign him over the last few weeks whilst this has all been going on?
Or is it just wiganners who are hypocrites?
Not sure I remember many treating him like a hero through his drugs ban? Just debate as to whether we should or shouldn't stand by him as a club and given the Newton situation that followed I would suggest still it was the right thing to do.
I don't remember too many treating him like a hero for gouging either? Mainly condemnation for his stupidity and certainly not widespread acclaim for him.
I certainly remember criticism of him for the LMS incident from many fans (not all) but certainly not again widespread hero worship as you are trying to Mae out.
I see you didn't hold it against Connolly,but yet some saints fans booed 10/15 years later so surely given what seems like your criteria for judging fans then that means ALL saints fans did?
If you want to identify certain individual posters who may have treated him like a hero and backed him no matter what (some even now hence 40plus pages) then fair enough but don't try and come on with a sweeping generalisation to fit all Wigan fans to try and make out we're all brain dead.
End of the day saints fans hero worshipped longy so what does that make ALL saints fans given his past and current woes?
