Rugby Imploding……

To be honest the whole Latics/Warrior rivalry/hatred is very much a chicken & the egg situation
If you ask a latics fan its the Warriors supporters/club who started it & vice versa. Any evidence which contradicts whichever side of the fence you’re on is batted back with a “yeah but that was only coz of what we’ve had to put up with over the years”

Truth is that both sets of fans are capable of being complete prats – take the posters on that RL fans forum acusing those on here of being brain dead, immature morons & failing to see the irony within their own post!!!! Similarly the poster who says “I know they are not all like that so I don’t like to generalise but 90% of them are …”!!!
I also have to take issue with the Crewe Alex supporting Warrior who hates us due to the games against us over the years coz Latics were dirty & even kicked one of their players in the face once. He/She must be forgetting that when Efe Sodje kicked Lee McCulloch in the chest/neck that Sodje was playing for Crewe & McCulloch for Latics!! :doh:
Moans that they had to move games coz of Latics conveniently forget Latics moving games for RL (domestic & international) in the earlier days at the JJB

Likewise Latics retorts of being big, fat, smelly, trolls tends to get a bit monotonous after a while (although the song always brings a smirk to my face however childish it might be). And Latics fans who randomly verbally abuse Wariors fans in the street & no better than the prats who, when i started watching Latics in the late 80’s, felt obliged to come up to me on buses, in shops & in the street to ask me why I was going watching Latics “they’re $h!te. Football is a p00f’s game. Watch a real mons sport”
