It would need some doing to beat the Stains Sprint on Friday.

Are these the same Wigan fans who were crying,whinging and moaning when Leeds players did something very similar when scoring at the end of a Challenge Cup tie a couple of years ago?

Yup!

Ever so slightly different given the proximity of the leeds players to the kids on the wall.

I know a number of families & old people who have never been back to that hole since that day.

he was going at a fair old pace and got knocked slightly of balance and ended up being spun round

This. He turned to avoid being put on his arris, then turned it into a bit of fun.

I was sitting with family in what passes for their main stand. With 10 minutes to go we were surrounded by scousers. With five minutes to go the stand was mostly empty, they really did pile out of the Trailer Park in a big hurry. How these muppets can ever criticise Wigan fans for leaving early is beyond me.

FIOS

It's nothing new. Back in 1997, I had the pleasure of attending Knowsley Road and watching Wigan canter to a 65-12 victory. The stadium was emptying rapidly by half-time. At the end of the season, Micron Video's annual highlights tape included footage taken outside the ground just after half-time - it showed Saints fans streaming away in droves.

HALF-TIME ... I ask you.

You're right, they've got some face to call us. But then they are scousers.

Got to say I thought it was very funny.

Directed straight at the cretins who were singing 'there's only 1 Sam Tomkins' after his error for the first try. Very cheeky and the best possible response!

Part of me dies every time a moronic sports fan goes mad after giving a player dogs abuse for 80 mins, then getting all morally indignant when they get it shoved back in their face. If you can't take it, don't give it!

The same thing goes for Hock's celebrations, although in saying that, throwing the ball at the fans isn't acceptable (as it wouldn't be acceptable if a fan threw something at a player.)

Re: The Tomkins Trott : Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:55 am  

As a Saints fan after watching it back I thought the trot was actually Sam trotting away from a more raw emotional in your face Hock like celebration.

Nowt wrong with either in the heat of battle - if you dish it out you have to take it.
