I don't by any means condone what Sam did and I don't like things like that as its a Football reaction but its funny how these hang him out to dry comments alot of them Wire fans, How you easily forget/ignore the Myler & Mathers incident from the HJ last season a far more blatent gesture yet nothing was said, A fine at most in my opinion.

If by taunting fans and players you mean tearing them apart, running rings around them, then yes, you are correct.

And how does he conduct himself? He is no worse than Long or Briers. He is [ithat[/i type of player. It's while since we have had one so I guess you don't like it.

Every ow and again a player does something stupid like throws a ball at opposition fans (forgot who did that at the JJB as it was then) but these things happen.

Get off you high horse.

No I don't mean that.

As I've said, Tomkins is a great player but a horrible little runt.

So it's ok to be taunted by other people but when he gives it 'em back they can't take it and get all upset about it? Hey if you can't take it don't dish it out simple as that

Yeah Sam perhaps bends the rules a little and can be foolish at times with some of the things he does, today's action's for example. But he comes across to me at least as a genuinely nice lad, who's very polite and modest. He's being compared against Long and Goulding who are far from that off the field.

Can't help but hear his voice when I read this post

He possibly is a nice lad off the pitch but fans only see him on it and fuss why he's got a poor reputation and gets booed.

Why does he do these things? He don't need to as he's a very good player

I agree with this, his post match interviews have been very humble and the play acting / penalty milking seems to be leaving his game. Which, as a Saints fan, annoys me no end as I really, really want to hate him with Edwards/Farrellesque fervour.

He was a reet plonker today though, the reaction at the England game has clearly got to him.

Listen mate. Point to the posts where you said the same ablout Long, Pryce or even Tommy Martyn or shut the f*ck up.

Steady, Saints fans are fully aware that Long is an 'orrible little runt. Same for Pryce.

Not Tommy though, salt of the earth.
