Without wanting to take any sides here, I’m baffled as to why someone who lives in the middle east due to work but gets to see all the games live on a PC is less entitled to an opinion on Latics than someone who lives locally due to work & pays to watch them in the ground
Either way, both are watching the game & IMO perfectly entitled to an opinion
I’ll leave the personal insults from both sides out of it
how do u know he watches every game live? and also, there is a massive difference to watching a game on tele and actually being there. and also his opinions are on the whole idiotic

Of course there is! It’s like me watching Barca on telly and then going and telling a Barca fan who goes to the game the rights and wrongs with his team. I wouldn’t dream of it.
I’ll be very interested to see if he is as bothered next season, after we have gone down. For a start, he won’t be able to watch ‘every game on his PC’, will he?
My opinion goes for anybody, including local folk, who watch on telly, rather than go to a game, and then spout off on here. Actually, more so local folk. At the end of the day MIGHTY_AFF is abroad working, and so DOES have more of an excuse. I accept that.
But even so, I can’t accept the continual slating and moaning, from a distance.
We might not have a club to moan about, or support, within the next few years.
I can understand where you’re coming from & I know that watching it on telly is not the same as watching it on a TV/computer screen
BUT
at the end of the day they are a wigan athletic fan & I assume that before they moved to the middle east for work that they did used to go to games. As such if they are watching the same 90 minutes of football that you are then (IMO) they are just as entitled to say what they think is right & wrong about the team. They are after all watching the same game of football at the end of the day & can see the same things as you
Maybe I’m a bit touchy coz I fall into the bracket of a local fan who can’t doesn’t go to anywhere near as many games as he used to. IMO it doesn’t make me any less entitled to have an opinion
