You've been around long enough to know that we all have pond life at our clubs, can't help but feel sorry for him.

Wonder how Adam Watenes wife and kids feel , or what about Leon Walkers familly.

..or me because my Grandad died, or Elvis's family because he died once you know?
Get a loving grip.
It was a joke.

Most people don't find it amusing, they find it offensive.

I still can't believe the amount of people trying to justify and play down chants/comments like that.

One or two agreeing with the chants - vast majority not happy with the chants.
Get things in perspective - Coley did, he found it funny.

Who is justifying it?
It was a chant at a sporting event ffs. Hardly something to get worked up about. I bet you write to "points of view" as well...

Look.... as I said before... nobody really wishes him dead. There are songs from many clubs in our game that aren't always in good taste... songs about getting a gun and shooting opposition fans... I'm sure nobody wants to do that either. It's simply a way of showing him how bad the fans feel about the conduct in which he left the club. In 2007 we needed performances... especially from our big players and ones we considered to be loyal to the supporters and the chairman. We all knew Coley was leaving... but he was a disgrace that year. He wanted to leave when he agree to sign for Wigan.... he was asked to honour his contract in our hour of need... he wasn't allowed to leave so he chose to play in a way that could have destroyed our club. He performed twice... against Wigan. It was the most obvious showing of a lack of professionalism I have ever seen. He was running the ball in with no effort... carrying the ball loosely in a way he never had before and showing no remorse when he was losing ball on the first tackle.

Perhaps people should come along to the game against Huddersfield and see what sort of reception Hodgson and Korkidas get... players who left with dignity... who wore the shirt for the fans and made the effort to keep us in Super league that year.

I'm not trying to justify the singing of these songs... just trying to explain why the Salford fans feel so hurt by what he did.

I find Wigan offensive, so go and report that.
Get off your sanctimonious high horse and get a life.

So my formal complaint goes nowhere does it?

There are PLENTY of ways to give opposition players flack without having to wish them dead (joke or no joke).

Defending it shows you guys up. Well done to the supporters who are embarassed and critical of the chant - shame not enough of you take that stance.

im sure wigan fans have got songs of bad taste when they play against saints or whatever.

i am now officially part of the fine fellow element!!

BUT I WAS JOKING AND SO WERE THE REST OF SALFORDS FANS WERE LAST NIGHT, ITS MORE JUST TO VENT OUR ANGER AT ONE PERSON, AND HE WAS NO BETTER HIM SELF INCITING (SP?) THE CROWD

Seems a sizeable number of Salford fans need to get a life - it's a rugby club, a rugby team and a bloke moving between two different teams.
