I can understand Kings frustrations getting the better of him and not condoning what he did but I can understand the reason.

Anyway well done to him for being big enough to apologise, also a pat on the back too for gzus for owning up and apologising I think on Sunday everybody was very disappointed and frustrations got the better of some people. Lets put all this behind us now and move on for everyones sake.

Now one person has been pressured into apologizing for a non violent, clean 'banter', will everyone be forced to do so. How about an apology for booing?

Credit to King, however a certain fans actions has been blown out of proportion here and there are far worse actions/people from that game on here.

Let's draw a line under this.

If you are so sure, why not name and shame him. As from my view on here and not going, Gzus seems to be getting a raw deal. He said himself he was not drinking as he was driving. The facts and opinion are getting interwined.

Took some balls to do what he did.

The fan or Matt King?

King

I always thought the problem was that Matt King hasnt got a game he is pathetic for us Get rid!

fair play to the fella

He understood he did wrong and apologized to him, i take my hat of to him

We do have a right though if we are spending a decent whack each week to expect the player to try their best and run their blood to water.

They did V's Leeds and got new abuse at all, they didn't at London and got abuse for it.

The only people that can halt the fans reactions are the players by being seen to be busting a nut on the pitch.

on that point, for(and i'm not starting any king bashing here so please don't miscontrue it as that) with every player you can say "wow, that was great" or they've done something that really amazes you or impresses you, be it a great pass to set someone away(briers) shuddering tackles or thundering runs,(see some of johnners DH running v leeds) something that catches your eye. At least once.

Even going back to mike pechey in 98 and that run where he knocked edwards on his arris. He was crap for the rest of the season but that sticks out in your mind.

i've not had one of those moments from king, yet.

I was quite close to where all the abuse was given and I was ashamed being a Warrington fan. Some of the people giving the abuse were obviously leathered and if it does that to you then....

Good on you Matt for apologising. I'm sure though that not many would not have reacted in some way. We now need to come together as a club, players, staff and supporters. We win together, and we lose together.

Come again?





dont reme,ber this winning thing

=redWAHOO - you need to untick "Disable BBCode in this post"

Fair play to King.

Always comes across as a likeable bloke and it's not his fault he's on (reputed) silly money - but with a fat pay packet comes fat responsibility and I don't think anyone would argue he's underperformed. He was made to look a monkey by Gidley at KR but having said that, he's not the first nor will he be the last.

Hope he comes good as it would be a shame to see his career grind to a halt in SL. Can't help but think he's just an over hyped big lad though, no class in his game from what I've seen.

Anyway, good on you Matt and I hope the Wire fans get behind you at the weekend.

I think you should drop him for sunday

If the abuse was as bad as what people are making out should this "fan" be banned from the ground for a period of time? I know there has been a full appology on both parties but King will get into trouble with the club yet the person who caused it wil get away scott free.

Well done to Matt King, It takes a lot to admit he was wrong even though he is on a good wedge, so well done again.
I have seen him at the ground after he was injured by Mathers last year and he was polite with my family, he seemed to be a nice guy.

Well done matt king,

he shouldnt of been verbally abused in the first place,
then he would have no need to apolagise.............

sorry havnt we been in before with our so called fans,
with rocket rodwell....

Quite frankly he can make all the hand gestures he wants if he starts to perform to the level he is allegedly capable of.

I would have no problem in personally telling Matt King that he should do the job he is being well paid to do. He needs reminding that he is in a priveliged position as are the rest of the squad.

It's not unreasonable to equate a player's wages with expectation of performance.

King was not the worst player on the field on Saturday, he didn't drop the ball, miss tackles galore, give penalties or kick like a crab. He did make at least one good run.

But he is reputedly on fantastic money - and his performances haven't backed that up. I assume as we are paying him good money, he was a good player in Australia. He hasn't been a good player for us - yet.

same gesture brown give warrington fans at challange cup match at widnes a few years ago, dont recall his apology

Go on Matt - show 'em.
Get man of the match on Sunday.

You know what? No matter how much I despair at how he is stealing money with his poor performances I would like nothing better than for that to happen. It would also signal that Tony Smith is moving the whole team forward.

he is a very guy . down too earth

good on you matt, met you a couple times with my grandkids and you were ( still are top bloke, oh and grandaughter is smitten so ur wife better watch out can't win against a five year old). you shouldn't have been subject to that sort of abuse, we were in that section and understood your reaction wasnt aimed at the majority of fans, all we need now is for the coaching staff, players , and yes the fans to stick together as a family unit and try and get our yes our season back on track. we all have a part to play and for the moment maybe that biggest part is down to the fans. I know which atmosphere will get the most out of the players,

Is any action going to be taken against the hooligan who was shouting abuse?
