St Helens Star... : Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:07 pm  

...great article about the cup game ,bemoaning the fact we seem to have their number in games that matter. The columnist was griping about the accidental head contact off Gelling for Charnley's try & laughably suggesting that our line speed must have meant we were offside at ptb ,obviously something he never notices with mighty Saints. He also seemed to have a problem with why we managed to get so many quick play the balls .

I’m not sure how they can tell offside from the tv coverage, they hardly showed the defensive line. Come to that they missed quite a bit of the attack as well.

I think to expect to win a game, you have to be better than the other team and then at least a little bit more to account for the ref being human. Some decisions will go against you, sometimes it will be frustrating and unfair. To be a winner, you have to be far enough ahead that that doesn’t make a difference.

According to redvee saints just have to be a 6/10 to win most games and a 7/10 against you means you have to be a 10/10.

We still await their congratulations on our perfect performance, then.

What a team/set of supporters. Their sense of entitlement beggars belief.

When Wigan swept all before them in the late 80's until the mid 90's, half their fan base left 15 mins early (win, lose or draw), and the other half just chanted "Wigan, Wigan, Wigan, Wigan......". A sad group, but pretty inoffensive, on the whole.
Compare them, to the plastic scousers. Insufferable when they win. Bitter as #### when they lose. And as for their chairman.... Words fail me.
