Plenty of Salford fans were on their way home as I drove away with 10 minutes left

oh dear if that is all we have to worry about then I think we will cope. Go on the wakefield message board and tell them about your glorious chant and see what they say about it - idiot

Logic and real life tragedy will have no impact. They are from Salford after all.

And we were the team that got beat ... and they were the part timers that come out of nowhere for the big games.. and first to abuse the players and staff when we loose .. not 3/4 of the fans leaving 10 minuites before as there teams gets through to the semi-finals

This chant should never be used in our game, i recall saints fans singing it to Newton not too long ago.

Okay . . . . so leaving early is fine if you've lost . . . . but if you've won you can't . . . . but if you're Wigan you are allowed to do neither

Right!

After reading most Salford supporters posts in regards to the topic, it appears as though that type of mentality is normal for them. I don't whether that's the way they're brought up or whether it's filtered down from the terraces of Old Trafford but regardless of where it stems from, we don't need it in our game.

Before everyone starts taking the moral high ground on here, there were a large minority of Wigan fans wishing death on Whelan not too long ago.

to be honest the ppl i saw leaving 10 mins early was of the older generation no offence to them at all but i think they wanted to beat the crowds on the stairs an YOU was well tonk so why not ,,, oh an the YOUR NOT FAMOUS ANY MORE classic ,,,,,, CAUSE YOU LL NEVER BE FAMOUS

What a thousand fans sang "Die Die Whelan" directly to him?

This thread isn't about taking the moral high ground - I wanted to see people's perceptions of the chant. I found it really offensive and low - so wanted to asks people's perceptions also to see if it was just me overreacting.

But wasn't there a vast majority condemning those few idiotic posts?

That doesn't seem to be happening in this situation.

when me an mate was walking towards the turnstyle some bloke well in is 40 s shouting with a salford top on shouting to his m8 GET YOUR D@CK OUT enough said alex m8

Salford don't have a lot of fans

A decent Salford supporter pretty much sums it up:

FWIW the Salford team got a massive applause from Wigan fans as they went in the tunnel.

Perhaps there's more to it than just leaving.

last time we played salford at their ground they were singing the same nasty chant. two days later the wakefield /celtic game was called off because of the death of a rugby player during a game. I think that chant is completely in bad taste. Coley dedicated 7 years to salford, if that is not loyalty i dont know what is. I thought it was disgusting , his wife and daughter go to the game.

And when they scored their try, which was a brilliant piece of rugby.

As a neutral fan i think its shocking and action from the RFL should be taken. Cannot beleive some comments from the Salford fans. Half witted trash.

completely agree. The lad had suffered a breavement in his family last week as well. This is a family game, I can only imagine how enjoyable it must have been for Coley's family

Salfords attempts at justifying their actions is beyond belief.

Thats it I am disgusted, I will report you for that

it's no suprise. they are after all, from salford.

I think the phrase you're actually looking for is:

"Sorry that some of our lot caused offence. The majority of us are not like that, and disapprove of that sort of behaviour".

inbreds the lot of them. rough as bears backsides. two heads!!

I dont know why i take myself down to their level.



on a serious note I did find it offensive and a lot of people sat near us were commenting on it. At least Coley produced another solid respectable performance.
