come on the way you was talking he'd done wigan over, he left early the rest is has nothing to do with his wigan contract while he was you and his reputation of being a model player, circumstances change and you can choose to change your mind, is it because he chose Wire than Wigan
what he has commented on is a complete disrespect to your club, using drugs, drink driving, drinking and causing a public nuisance, that's before you even mention your management
wonder how many of your fans have the same thought the he is a bellend?'"

There was another incident that I won't go into here but the police were involved. Far from a 'model' anything. |

You may be able to find something online if you're interested. It involved Frankie and Benny's In Wigan (allegedly!  )
As for the Australian incident he was fined for it and was alleged to have assaulted the door staff so hardly a nothing incident unless you want to apply your own standards to suit your agenda.
Incidentally the 'disgusting' Tomkins incident has some, shall we say, uncanny parallels with a certain incident that took place at Frankie and Benny's.
No one is saying that things at Wigan are rosy at the moment... I even agree with some of the things he has to say. The point being made is more a 'people in glass houses' type than anything else. He's hardly been a paragon of virtue either in terms of his off field behaviour or in the way he's put himself before the club. Both things he's ranting about in this interview. Hypocritical, no? |

Oh, and on the 'drugs one'; if you think that drug taking is confined to the young men of Wigan may I politely suggest you are very naive. That said I'm pretty sure you're aware it's rife at every club and in every city and town, yours included. The only variable is who is stupid enough to get caught.

I’m less worried about the Wigan-born players in our squad than the non-Wigan born collective..
There’s more to come here I think.

Spot on. Bars/Clubs these days in the gents the queues for the cubicles are longer than the ones for the urinals (unheard of back in the 90's/early 00's)....you cant tell me they are all busting for a turd.
I've been to the last four Ladies Day at Aintree and it's absolutely rife, I was shocked a few years ago. Openly doing beak, no hiding in corners...gangs of lads, suited and booted, 2pm in the afternoon just tooting up off their finger & thumbs in front of their mates every few minutes as if they were swigging a drink of beer. |

From that article
"Adrian Morley, the other Great Britain international in Australia, is also in hot water after being put on report for a high tackle on the former Leeds stand-off Ben Walker in Sydney Roosters' victory over South Sydney at the weekend. "I'm a tall bloke," Morley said in mitigation"
Moz, what a legend |

I have high regard for Carney as a presenter, though anyone is better than Wiggy. And I had very high regard for him as a player, though I think he's demonstrating Short Memory Syndrome here.
Skiving, malingering ... call it what you will, but the way he left us in that final year was nothing short of disgraceful. He talks about players showing disrespect to the Wigan fans and club. He ought to know.

Hypocrisy aside, is Carney correct, have players shown a disrespect to the club?
