If Claders game had something more than pace I'd love you'd 2 tell me what it was.'"
to be fair all good wingers need pace and he had it in bucket loads. Your arguments would suggest yiou think Offiah was a bad winger as his game was based around pace. He came inside and made little ground but relieved pressure like Calderwood and their defences weren't the best.......do you think Offiah was no good too?

| Calderwood hardly got any decent ball while he was at Wigan.
I think the best pass he ever got was the one off Bradford when he went the length of the field in the play off!

a minority of Wigan fans?
You think a minority of Wigan fans don't like KP for "not so obvious reasons"?
I don't mean to be thick but i thought as a Wigan player it wouldn't matter whether he was taking drugs or cheating. Never mind what you are suggesting.

I've read this a few times now and I'm still at a loss at what you're trying to get at.

That's certainly one way of looking at it.

Don't be including me in your "small minority"
To be quite honest whilst i imagine some folks views are perhaps tainted by racism, it is sorry to see a discussion about a controversial player be dragged down with this kind of talk.
TBH it stinks. Seems more a ploy by yourself in order to label people who disagree with you a possible racist.
Well done you have won your argument.

I've not included anyone specific so don't worry yourself.
So while you agree some people's views will be tainted by racism, we shouldn't be talking about it - even though you admit it happens? What the problem?
I won my argument when you wrote the rubbish you did about him being lazy and a shocking defender - there's plenty of facts out there that show that not to be the case.

Of course it happens, but you cant say that this is a major factor in they way Calderwood gets criticised by people. Of course we can discuss it on here, but surely this racism applies to every RL player of black origin?
If that is the case should we discuss racism EVERY time someone has an negative opinion about a non white players performance?
I don't rate him as a player and i think his attitude absolutely stinks. Fair enough his Stats are compatible to Pat Richard, but are you seriously comparing the two?

For a start I said it was a "small minority". I also didn't say we should discuss it everytime either. You seemed to have a problem with it being discuss at all.
Quote: tugglesf78 "I don't rate him as a player and i think his attitude absolutely stinks. Fair enough his Stats are compatible to Pat Richard, but are you seriously comparing the two?'"
And of course I've never seriously compared the two overall either. I did however compare their stats on the very areas you criticise Calderwood - being "lazy" and a "shocking defender", where Calderwood's stats are no worse and in some areas actually better than Pat. I take it you can now see the difference?
I take it you wouldn't criticise Pat as being "lazy" or a "shocking defender"? So why do it for Calderwood?

I don't think that's the case. I agree that if they were from Wigan they wouldn't get anywhere near the same amount of jip but I don't think skin colour comes into it. If you want to talk non-rugby reasons for fans not liking Karl Pryce I'd point to his brother first.
