Quote ="Psychedelic Casual"This is off the Wire forum:
I find it incredible the amount of anti-Wire BS being spoken of on here when there was another set of fans, and an ex-player of both clubs, who were all involved.
No “Catalans fans are a disgrace” “Catalans fans are thugs” “rugby league players are a disgrace” “rugby league players are thugs”... no, it’s just “Wire fans are a disgrace” “Wire fans are thugs”.
I messaged my mate who was there within minutes of the incident and he replied with “they were throwing missiles into our away section”. Now, the natural reaction to that would be one of a few things:
1. Go and tell the stewards (happened to Cas fans at Catalans on another occasion and the stewards said they couldn’t do anything about it)
2. Leave
3. React
Humans are a fighting species. Fighting happens a lot, in all walks of life. Some people will always stand up for weaker people than themselves by fighting in retribution, many people will only take so much before they lose their cool and fight, some people even enjoy fighting...
There were Wire fans who did just leave as well.
But this thread tells me all I need to know about a lot of posters on this site: too bitter to consider it might not have been just Wire fans at fault in all this. Or just WUMs, of course.'"
If I were you I’d just stop, you’ve shown yourself to be an idiot over this issue. Blaming James Child for the thuggery on display from Warrington fans who clearly couldn’t handle their ale was well out of order and here you are continuing to defend the scum who tried to climb into the hospitality area to brawl with Catalans fans. Whether you like it or not all the videos show Wire fans to be at fault, while the Catalans fans were merely trying to defend themselves from the animals coming at them.
Even if the Catalans fans did play a part when was it acceptable to behave like that? Warrington are a club known for having fans who look for trouble and isn’t it funny how no other clubs fans have ever felt the need to behave in the same manner. Warrington have a massive problem within their fan base and it needs eradicating quickly because once again your club has let the sport down.
