I saw several incidents yesterday of Leeds fans acting like football fans in terms of the threats and abuse they were throwing out.
But that's not a condemnation of the Leeds club or the genuine Rhino fans. These camp-followers don't do Leeds any favours, however.
I wouldn't go that far but with 30,000 fans at the game, your gonna get a few idiots out of that many people.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
This Wigan fan must have been sniffing glue of some variety to have been making these wild allegations of suporting Saints even if it was against a presidents select IRA/Al Quaeda VIII.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I took a completely indifferent view to the whole thing.
CANT support a team from the dark side of the Pennines, but equally dont have it in me to EVER shout for the Skints.
Except possibly against Dire.........

I said it was an average game but it didnt matter as Leeds had won. The guy then said he was a Wigan fan and to be honest had been supporting Saints!!!!
Is this possible???
Leeds are annoying but vis-a-vis Saints they are a God send.
