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.

Still trying to jusity it on the Salford forum and their moderators suggest to take it ''with a pinch of salt''.

Oh well, if that's how they want to be perceived.

Let's hope we're never as influenced as the yobs from football as much as they are.

Very good point.


Chants like that have no place in our game at the best of times, but the above makes them all the more reprehensible.


Disgusting behaviour. They should be totally ashamed of themselves.

Just had a quick look at that thread on the Salford board and it beggers belief



Some people agree with the song and then others that don't back the people that do as harmless jokers!

Didnt hear it TBH, but i did hear them booing Paul Prescott everytime he had the ball thinking it was Coley





Set of tits the lot of them.

That would say it all about Salford, that would.

Can't you see them all coming out of the pubs on Wednesday night, cheesed off.

Scott: "I can't believe we lost when everyone said we were going to win easy. Let's go to Wigan on Friday. At least we'll win that one."

Wayne: "Good idea. Who are we playing."

Scott: "Wigan, you pratt. We can give Coley a load of grief."

Wayne: "Why?"

Scott: "Dunno. But everyone says we hate him."

Wayne: "Who is he?"

Scott: "Dunno. But he's supposed to be big."

Wayne: "He didn't look that big when he played for Chelsea."

i was puzzled when paul kept getting booed

I just had a chat with my other head but cannot understand the continued tirade from sensible Wigan fans.

Time to lock the threads (both sets) - re-iterating there is a lot of bitterness with Andy only due to his signing for Wigan in May 07 and from then on NOT playing with a Salford shirt on. We subsequently were relegated and paid the price and many fans still hold him totally responsible for our visits last year to Whitehaven, Batley etc etc.

On his day a very good prop - so lets put an end to the chiding. 1500 of us there last night and very, very, few of them were chanting.

Now if you dont mind I will just speak to my sister to see if she wants to go out tonight.

This is God's Honest truth.

Walking back to my car with my 9 year old & 2 x "Salford fans" behind me discussing who was left in the competition.

"Gateshead, St Helens erm erm erm I think Leeds will still be in it and Bradford I bet. Not sure about the others I think Hull are one."

At which point I turned round told them the 6 left and we had a half decent conversation until we reached His Car were there were 2 x other cars and 7/8 other lads waiting.

He said "Good luck" and his mates said "What the F*** you talking to them lot for the Wigan Scum?"

He said "Were only having a chat"

and the same lad replied back with "F*** em the wan***s!"

When we played them at Burnden Park in 88/89 ish in the CC semi they brough about 5000 Man U men with them and it was a disgrace!

Bravo

Yeah because Wigan is such a brilliant place...Just a shame such a great rugby team is being over shaddowed by Premiership football in the town your attendance last night proved that.

I suppose you were one of those lads in Jukesays earlier comment.

Both the football club and rugby club have played one cup game at home this year.
Latics cup attendance of 4,100.
Wigan cup attendance of 9,466.

Overshadowed is one word and it's only got one 'd'.

I credit myself with a bit more intelligence than that, I actually walked out of the ground having a very good conversation about the format of Super League and how the MM game impacts on the league with a 'Wigana'

Outside the West Stand after the game, a load of Salford lads singing "Stand up, if your car's smashed up".
Also, calling for us to get Saints in the next round, and get smashed. I can understand being upset at losing, but that kind of bitterness does them no credit whatsoever.
