at least your guys had recent success, you want to try being a Wire fan watching pap for 20 years

Well I was clapping on Monday, and hooting with laughter too .

Though, if I'd paid hundreds of pounds to go over to France and had seen my team look as unfit and just downright disinterested as your lot did at times during the match I'd have been ranting big style.

For me, players should get support when they deserve it, if they are trying their damndest but it isn't coming off then thats's fine I support them, but to cheer them on when they look less interested than the hot dog seller is pretty idiotic.

The original poster mentioned dislike at the negative singing. Its interesting how quickly this turned into an attack at people who sing how great we are and clap meaninglessly.... surely there is a whole spectrum inbetween?? You might not like what you are seeing, and many people sit head in hands or arms folded or whatever, no need to clap and cheer. But I still get the point as to why there is a need to sing such negative songs at them either - we still have a role to play in motivating them?

Just an observation that this started as a "why sing negative songs/abuse" and turned into a "why happy clap".... whereas the majority probably think neither are the most appropriate.....there is a vast range of options in the middle?!

It seems wigan fans cant go to a game without having a drink i lost count the number of times during a game i had to stand up.

I agree.....dont boo and sing derogatory songs.

We just need to take a banner directing the team to this part of the website

is that it get a grip lad they need telling what do you want them sing to a team with no heart ,passion , pride you want get your head out the sand

Yeah ok mate, how do you expect them to wanna play to a set of fickle pathetic fans, and thats what wigan fans are fickle, eg, they played a gruelling game against saints on thursday night, played the best team in super league and if we had a decent stand off we would of takin our chances and won, we then fly over to france hard trip, the first 20 minutes wigan 14-4 up no one said a dickie bird, no one on that field could do no wrong, then tiredness kicks in and we didnt touch the ball (no ball no trys) usual wigan fans booing.

so what do we do Noble out, and get who

iv'e learned over the years that if the person next to you wants to rant and rave just let him or her get on with it. that person may be the biggest supporter in the world or the worst ,all people behave differently but if you start to shout them down especially after drink it could become personal between them and you. thats what was happening on monday, wigan fans arguing with each other.

Or worse, Wigan fans fighting each other like at Leeds...

They're professionals, they are used to the stick. It's all apart of their jobs. I'm pretty sure they don't go home and cry, and if they was so bothered they should perform better.

Maybe it will work ?????

Take last season, the home drubbing against Huddersfield, the south and east stands at the JJB joined in with a "your not fit to wear the shirt" which the players took personally, infact i remember them the week after going of the pitch without clapping the speccies as they usually do. They seemed to have a kick up the backside after this point and started to move in the right direction.

Its the same in any job, if your bad at it, or your not performing you should expect to get told. Unfortunatly being a pro RL player who have plenty of people who are willing to do so.

Half the Wigan fans have simple given up and accepted that we are no longer good enough, these are the ones who were singing "greatest club in the world" when we have just conceeded 36 unanswered points on monday night.

The other half are NOT willing to accept it, and this is when the Wigan fans started to clash after the game on Monday, i heard several slanging matches between fans, and one that almost boiled over into someone physical.
