We all go out of our way to excuse or reason in favour of our own players misdamenours. Dodgy head high shots, questionable tackles etc. But I cant really understand how anyone could support/condone Masons actions during tonights game.

OK..

Owned What a crock of e

I have not seen this incident you keep going on about but it isn't the one getting replays on Sky which ought to tell you something.



So Mason doing what he did to Fielden was part of a game plan?

Are you for real?

With a different ref your "game plan" i.e. professional fouls and stamping would not have worked. You must love it when Bentham is the ref.

Can your team win a game legitimately?

I dont think anyone is. He will get a ban and deserve it but it is being overplayed a bit compared to Baileys knee or Abletts head hunting it was not in the league of either of those.

However if he gets a ban for standing on a player then Tompkins should get one for standing on Fa alogos hand. Check it out at 15mins 37 on the clock just before Tompkins gives away his penalty. he had no need to step out with his foot towards fa alogos back hand other than to foul him.


I look forward to Wigan fans supporting his ban for dangerous, dirty, niggly play

read my posts again,nowhere have i condoned/supported what mason did,i was merely pointing out that huddersfield didnt come to cheat and that wigan players have been as guilty as anyone has at bending the rules,resorting to foul play that could result in serious injury and that most wigan fans usually condone it, the irony is that when its against wigan they all cry foul but yet its ok for one of theirs to do it.

Your talking out your so a high tackle and milking a penalty is the same as lining a players leg and stamping on it?

i think you should cut down on the sour grapes,you might get a bad head in the morning.
are you really trying to tell me that wigan have never used foul play/professional fouls/holding the defenders arm/leg in order to gain an advantage?

no but attacking a player throat high with an elbow is surely? however a penalty is gained it's still trying to gain an advantage is it not?

IT IS NOT THE SAME AS STANDING ON A PLAYERS LEG

Well you get 10 / 10 for anatomy correctly identifying that the leg and neck are different parts of the body. However you get 0 /10 for Logic as the previous poster was pointing out that different players at different times use different ways of gaining an advantage either legally or illegally. WIGAN bend / break the rules as much as anyone.

How can you even try and justify what he did?

You lot are dumb just go back to your dire crowds giving tickets away you do know there is 3 games where the north stand is closed catalan, crusaders and quins congrats you just made it 4

I can honestly say I have never seen a Wigan side adopt stamping as a winding up tactic but you seem to think that is what Mason was attempting to do did and that is legitimate.

Since when was stamping a legitimate part of winding anyone up? We all know players milk penalties and try for a sly dig etc. There is world of difference between that and stamping yet we have Hudds fans on here bracketing what Mason did with gamesmanship.

You will be telling me eye gouging is all part of the game next.

Dave

Fielden should be banned for blunting a players studs and throwing some p*** poor punches in retaliation !!

And tomkins will be cited for stamping

Dirty dirty wigan

And O Loughlin hitting a smaller player in the neck when he is kicking the ball is alright.

Yes it was gamesmanship and he deserves a ban as O' loughlin should have done when he tried to decapitate Robinson.

the difference is we are not all as sanctimonious about it as you are.
