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

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?

I wonder how many of the fans involved in the abuse were present when we were drubbed 80-0 at Saints!I'd have liked to have seen their reaction then.

I have no idea what King did on Saturday, nor do I know how he played.

What I do know is that never, ever in the history of sport has a professional team been motivated in a positive manner by abuse from their own fans.

As frustrating as it may be, people need to realise that booing makes it worse.

Did what he had to do.

quite funny this when thousands of you chant your not fit to wear the shirt to briers !! That bloke has given you his all for years and has given you all of the very few great moments you have had in the super league era.
and now he is the most hated man in warrington !

It wasn't chanted specifically at Briers.

spot on well said and much respect to kingy

I have put my hand up.

I have stated what I said and where I said it ( from my seat )

I have apologised.

but could anybody tell me what they think I said??

( i'm pretty sure Matt King couldn't understand what was being said just that it was directed at him)

It wasn't name calling, there where no swear words it was just anger at his performance. (which I duly note was not that bad)

I have no idea what happened at the side lines where I assume the more aggresive abuse came from.

I supported the team for 60 mins trying to get songs going.

stop listening to 2nd hand info my friend it was directed at the entire team

king has made a public apology, i was angry at the time but it takes a big set of *cough cough* to say what he did so i won't have anything else to say on this. He made a mistake and owned up and that proves his decency in my eyes.

Lets start getting behind the guys now because lets be honest i would struggle in my job if people were constantly criticising me.

We forget he is a young guy in a foreign country and than in itself is not an easy thing for some people.

I think this incident should be dropped by everyone now, all apologies are out lets just end it.

I think enough has been said on the subject now, apologies on both sides so end of..
