Oh yes, cos they had Wigan fans creaming themselves, whilst making a wad of money and bragging about their "crimes".

Get real.

Do try to make sense!

Do try to keep on topic.....

Bragging or not. That is irrelevant to my comment. The OP said no wonder he felt at home at saints as he was a slimy low life.

Which lead to me commenting that we were not the only club with players who have done less than creditable things.

I think it's you who needs to get real.

No it's you. How can you even try and defend him???

Where has he tried to defend him?

I was on topic until you came out with your rubbish, then edited to make it look slightly less daft but failed.

Let me explain, the OP said he was a low life, which is why he fitted in so well at Saints. The comment I made was that we aren't the only club that house dodgy characters i.e Feka and Hock. Not hard really is it?

Someone with a bit of sense at last!

It's the lazy old "there are others that have done bad stuff too" defence.

And it's pathetic.

So he didn't try to defend him. What he did looks like a pretty explicit acknowledgment that Long has done some dodgy things, he just pointed out that he's not the only one - glass houses etc.

Once again you miss the point. I am not condoning Long. Let me break this down to make it easy for you.

Long was called a low life.

The OP then said it was no wonder he fitted in well at Saints, suggesting we are the only place that has low lives.

I said in not so many words, we are not the only club that has low lives, and sighted Feka and Hock as an example. Surely not that hard is it?

And I will repeat myself, the situation is ENTIRELY different!

No it's not. I do not object to anyone slagging off Long, the man is an idiot. What my point was, it is incorrect to suggest that because he is a low life he fits in at Saints, when other clubs also have characters who are not whiter than white.

I'm not the only one making myself look silly.... The guy has admitted betting on the weak squad game, and backing himself to score with a drop goal... On field actions. At the time i was amazed you did not sack Glesson (you forgot him, or was it not convienient to mention him) and Long.... But saints made one the fall guy, the only reason being, was that he played in the game as far as i can see. But both were culpable. BTW i won't be resonding to anything you say... your not worth anymore of my time.... We can forget Basils behaviour and the allegations about KFC..... Go lie down..

8.99 on amazon, he cant get that much surely!!

We could have a sweep on how many he sells... But perhaps he tried to fix that too......

Not worth anymore of time- Translation I've ran out of ideas.

You are making yourself look silly, at no point have I defended either, Infact I think what they have done is a disgrace and Long even worse for glorying in it now. Funny you should mention Gleeson though seeing as most of you have welcomed him with open arms.

He'll probably get £2 for every book sold, that's all.

I think you are digging yourself a hole. Wigoon RLFC have a long list of unsavoury incidents and characters, we can drag them out of the cupboard if you like. The Pongia incident for starters.

You know how tight I am with my money though Brian

Ban this clown please.

And shame on you bringing the Pongia incident up

Im confused but im guessing that it is not a good story, cant be as bad as Longys betting debarcle...

Why are people having heart attacks over this? Has Longy ever professed to be an angel? (Mind you, he did try to be, at one point. Did you read about him going along to the 'God squad' meetings?) I think the book is very honest and that's what makes it a good read (plus there are some funny stories in there).

Everyone is sounding so up themselves it's ludicrous, especially from the fans of Wigan, home of Fat Fekka the bus driver assaulter and the banned druggie Hock. Ha! And stones are coming this way! What a joke.



PS: I don't know whether betting on scoring a drop goal at a certain point in the game - which didn't happen anyway - would be considered match fixing?

Well maybe people should think twice about their comments about Saints. If people can't take it, they shouldn't serve it up, especially when hypocrisy is involved, which clearly it is here (and not from Saints!).

PS: I assume the above incident was a bad one by your reaction though I have no knowledge of it at all, so my comment is a general one.
