      Mutty has mates?

      Fully agree with zeb though. Regular fights down King St nowadays and a stabbing only a week or so ago. Not worth the hassle anymore.

        Surely this thread should be in the non football section!

          Gents,

          You seem to think that I am condoning their behaviour. May I point you in the direction of my first paragraph underneath the video. However, as much as you would love it to be so, this incident will never become as big nationally as the two racism incidents. This is because of the global appeal of football. “3rd division loanee footballer in racist twitter attack by fan” will still make more newspaper headlines outside Wigan than “rugby league brothers in drunken tirade to barmaid.”

          Now, have your entertainment over it.

          Totally different as you well know.

          Mr Whelan’s comments to the press were the ramblings of an elderly man, who meant no harm, and genuinely thought he was saying the right things. Yes they were embarrassing, but said with no malice and he fell on his sword because of the public reaction.

          The other incident you’re referring to, is a single racist tweet by an anonymous internet troll – and not even a confirmed Wigan Athletic fan. Hardly newsworthy as 99% of people who frequent this message board didn’t even know about it, and you’re really clutching at straws by bringing this up.

          This Tomkins video however, features two of Wigan RL’s biggest names being deliberately threatening and abusive towards a young barmaid, her manager, and some elderly patrons on the pub.

          Totally and utterly different to the Whelan incident.

            He hasn’t actually done anything that breaks any of the rules we moderate the board by so hasn’t done anything to warrant a ban or exclusion.

            We certainly don’t want to run the board in the same way some rugby boards are run whereby anything negative said about the club results in a ban (we would have no posters if we did that) or that any rugby fan or fan of another club who dare question the club are banned.

            I think everyone would prefer it if he didn’t revert to his constant sh!t stirring competitions but he isn’t alone in that either.

            Great quote made by somebody who’s name escapes Me on maybe the old Cockney Latics site “WE HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO KILL US, THEY HATE US BECAUSE WE EXIST”

            A bit rich about shit stirring Egg when I see one of you mods has allowed the homophobe back on here. I wonder how long it will be before his shit stirring will start.

            Enjoy your summer folks..

              With fans from that era, yes spot on.

              Modern day fans have no reason to hate one anothercertainly from a Latics point of view other than to try and prove how big a fan they are to their mates.
