The baiting of Jamie Foster : Fri Aug 03, 2012 9:43 pm  

Didn't it make you proud to be a Wiganer?

I'm not sure what was more disappointing - that it was going on at all, or that the game was so boring, people thought the mob-taunting of one individual was more interesting.

Really didn't read too much into it, just a bit of booing when he got the ball?

No big deal...

Not from where I was sitting.

All I heard was a fair bit of booing, and good on those that were booing, he's still a Saints player after all.

Historical revisionism in RL. Who'd have thought it?

At the end of the day, I'm sure he wasn't that bothered. But it still bugs me to hear Wiganers - even a small bunch of them - dispaying the sort of childish excesses I normally associate with Wire fans.

I thought only leeds speccies booed players

I did cringe a bit. He's done nothing bad as a rl player that warrants calling him a w**ker.

No, they're the only ones who boo players who are supposed to be on their side.

Its very different when you boo a player in a league game. Leeds fans booed a player playing for England.

You can all boo Sam all you like when hes playing for Wigan but if hes playing for England its not on.

I dont mind a bit of booing of Foster but if it was anything more like some are saying then not so fair enough ha.

It's a bit of pantomime fun. Anything that goes past that is taking it too far, but luckily I didn't hear anything bad, although I'm sure there were some people shouting abuse somewhere, it happens at every single game you've ever attended or are ever likely to attend.
