Think I'm gonna have to go for a hearing test. Only heard a bit of booing for Foster for his first few touches and not a clue what that other guy is on about on the other thread about racial abuse of Sam Moa?

It was embarrassing and totally unnecessary, I've been sat in S1 since we moved into the DW and I really wish the Brigantes would !@$£! off somewhere else !

It's unreserved seating, you can choose whether to sit near them or not.

I think his image and even social media presence has done him no good and that's why he got more attention than most other saints rejects.

Oh and he was a Wigan fan, wasn't he?

On his performance - I thought he had a shocker. The lad just has no bottle. His footballer image goes well with his lack of grit IMO.

I wondered why people were booing him - he isn't a great player like Long or Martyn or Tomkins, and hasn't done anything to Wigan such as Ryan Bailey or Mathers. Seems stupid we should spend any time on him. He's just an average player with an above average ego.

I think its the hair-cut that does it

A bit of booing is ok but calling him a w@nker no need for it, do we really want to go down the road of other clubs fans who don`t know anything else and everytime they are on sky they have to cut out the back ground noise????

Couldn't make it tonight but it sounds like the atmosphere had a nasty edge to it. Picking on Foster seems a bit harsh. I wouldn't say that any player deserved abuse, but it does seem less harsh in the case of a Long or Martyn. Poor Foster has enough problems, it's just kicking a dog when it's down.

Certainly came over as much more than booing on the TV. Sounded pretty hostile wherever the microphones are placed to be honest

Who do you think is behind all of it? It was obviously the 'brigantes' or 'wigan ultras' who started it off calling him a w****r.
Seriously they're a complete embarrassment to our club. Last year I thought they were really good especially at away games, this year they've really gone in the wrong direction.
