Why on earth are some wigan fans desperate for Saints and other fans to accept rat boy.
I have no wish to see him injured (seriously) but saying we should not call him a rodent, runt , rat , cheat, snide gimp boy is just unrealistic.
These are perfectly pleasent comments.
Compare this to the vitriol thrown at say Judas Connelly over a pro longed period.
Or from Wiganers to Sean Long over a similar period. The whoops of Joy as Long was smashed in the face in 2005 for example.
All in all runt boy and rat boy are hardly harsh, just a more civil way of expressing dislike.
I see he did his reputation as a nice guy no harm on Saturday on national TV.
