I was pretty ashamed the at the chant thought it was very sad and people need to grow up. Yes he left us in the but to sing that is pretty dire especially with the kids in the crowd. I thought his reaction of nodding his head in tune was quite amusing and even better we didn't bother giving him the abuse until we realised we were not good enough and let the game get away from us.

We need to look at how bad we are rather than spending time worrying about Coley, Robinson etc.

Shocking

I can't believe what I'm reading.

If you don't get banned for a post like that the Salford Mods shouls be ashamed of themselves. You are disgusting. I am reporting that post.

Its a shame because idiots like you reflect badly on your fellow supporters.

i actually dont wish a slow and painful death on him. i wouldnt wish death on anyone
when we (salford fans) sang die die coley, i dont actually think 1 single person wishes him to drop dead, its said tongue in cheek but its just hatred for the man

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 ing 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 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.

there probably is songs in bad taste, but NONE of them wishing anyone dead, or remotely similar.

You stated in a single post, wasn't even a song, just a statement.

I think you should mong off back to your own forum and complain there and stop stirring it.

this is her their forum mate, why don't you take your own advice.

Shows the backward mentality you have if you think thats a joke, still carry on showing us the level you are at.

look at the top muppet

What annoyed me even more as well was that people felt the need to sing Coley songs over and over for an extended period of time when we could have still been getting behind the team which we eventually did in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Coley is a tw@ but he gave as good as he got last night. I actually like it when players give a little bit back to the fans like that (in the same way that Palaeaasina was laughing and gave a bit of applause when people were singing "You're supposed to be in jail"icon_wink.gif. You need a few villain type characters and disliked players when you play against other teams that you can give a bit of abuse when you play them, although I think the song is slightly OTT and there are plenty of other ways you can take the pi$$ out of players in songs.

what is the funniest thing is the idiots singing about Coley shouldn`t waste their efforts on an oppositon player,



who are they there for?

i dont know what game you was at then because if you ask me the salford songs was going start to finish!!! the reason why people get ed off is when it was 16-6 wilshire does his normal kick off then as soon as it goes to 22-6 he tries then 10 metre kick and the question is why dint he do it earlier when we was still in the game... and if you look over the past couple of years how many super league players have been let off with jail terms eg pryce,reardon,feka and etc.... how many salford players get in that situation none so therefore the players deserve the stick that they get from the fans of rugby league!!

I agree with this post right up until the word game, from there on I think it's in very bad taste, yes we can show we don't like him but not by wishing him dead.

As soon as the Coley songs came out I knew the game was over for us. Our moment had passed and Wigan were on their way to cementing their spot in the semi's.

Whilst it appears some people are taking the aforementioned chant to serious, it like all chants, needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Coley gave just as much as he got last night and both parties provoked each other. I would have expected more from a "professional" sportsman.

Nobody there last night genuinely wants Andy Coley to die and it's unfortunate that his name fits into such a chant. You've got to look at it as a rap song, rappers dont intend to diss or offend people but if their name fits into a line it goes in.

Forget it and move on, to have 4 pages on the subject is boring and over the top. I'd rather look at the fact that we took superb numbers to the JJB (whoever said 1200 needs to go back to school) and made an absolute racket.
