God (sic) help us all from what exactly?

I think we should make Mckay manager and play Mackay as a striker on a regular basis.

Impolite??

I wonder how many posters/readers on here are at least one of the following: non-white/ethnic, Jewish/non Christian, female or non-straight?

As if you’re not any if these I can understand why you might think that MM’s or DW’s comments/texts/etc (private or public) might not seem like much…as you’ve probably never had the misfortune of experiencing any casual or hardcore discrimination.

Interesting that there doesn’t appear to be one post on this board remarking on Chelsea fans’ shameful behaviour in Paris the other night.

I wonder what the reaction of our fans would have been if we’d hired a black manager who been caught sending offensive texts about white players?[/quote]

To be fair Galactic, Griff has come in for some stick for being follicly challenged, admittedly that isn’t in the same league as the accusations against Malky, but some would get upset about it.

P.S. Hopefully Chelsea will weed out all those idiots from Paris and I also read today that the West Ham fans were up to their normal tricks again prior to the Spurs match.
I don’t think it will ever be totally eradicated, such is the ignorance of the human race, but in roads are certainly being made and hopefully it will continue to improve.[/quote]

Unfair to tag the entire human race as being ignorant in such matters. Unfortunately football does tend to attract the ignorant, or perhaps more accurately described, unashamedly blatant racist.

Both Swansea & Hull share with rugby clubs – Ospreys even play during the football season, yet their pitches looked pretty good on MOTD this weekend.[/quote]

We’ve had this debate before. The DW is built on marsh land next to a river. It has always had a problem after prolonged heavy rain. The water table rises and there’s nowhere for the pitch to drain. That seems to be the general concensus.[/quote]

I thought the pitch had been raised a few years ago to counter this problem.

Perhaps its just down to location, where the owners of the KC and Liberty stadiums bought a piece of land based on quality rather than price.[/quote]

I’ve not seen any evidence of the pitch being raised unless they raised the entire stadium with it.

As far as I can recall the land on which the stadium was built was given – as in no money was exchanged – to Whelan by Wigan Council.

Are we just talking out-field players or can goalkeepers but included?
Chris Kirkland and Joel Robles were both 6′ 5″ so they’ll take some beating.

I did it was a midfielder who goes by the name of Kim. Looked a class above, kept hold of the ball well, ok a few passes went astray, but for commitment, endeavor, will to get the ball moving forward, he was by far the best player on show out of the 20 odd who featured. :cheer:[/quote]Agreed the lad had a blinder,good all round display from him i thought.[/quote]

Well apart from having a hand in the first two goals conceded all I can say is he was busier than the rest but no better or worse.

Because they fancied having the game in Wigan on a Saturday. That’s why you played Friday.

Or rather that’s why Charlton played Friday. Not quite sure if Wigan knew there was a game going on.[/quote]

They being Sky of course.

Also interesting was the number of people I spoke to who though the game had been switch to Friday because it was being shown live on Sky completely oblivious to the fact that a rugby match was taking place at all.
