"I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count"

[quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote]

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015!

"The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth."

Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club

You just said just because I used an analogy doesn't make it right and are making your own point with an analogy.

If I went to Galloways every Saturday for a pie barm and then all of a sudden they stopped concetrating on making pies, got all political and started preaching about political struggles then I'd go to Greenalghs.


Yip
Because your analogy wasn't a correct comparison to your stance with Wigan

Your analogy was that you would let someone else wear an anti homophobic badge and whilst you support anti homophobia without wearing a badge.

Your stance currently with Wigan though is that you won't support anyone who wears the badge i.e. Wigan and/or the players & not that you won't let them get on with it because they feel the need to and you yourself won't wear the badge, which im sure everyone would be fine with, you want them to stop wearing the badge.
So your analogy was incorrect.

What makes you say "stopped concentrating on making pies" ? You do realise they're not mutually exclusive?
You can do both

Anyway, you've answered my question, you just want people to get on with things and any issues they have not interfere with anything you do/buy etc?
I could go on but I won't

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

If Galloways had a sticker on their window that said we support LGBT would you stop going there?

With regards to taking knee, are you saying Wigan's BAME players are preaching about political struggles? It isn't political, its their lives, their upbringing, their experiences.


Not your arguement

The players can wear whatever they want in their own time, whilst wearing ths cherry and white hoops I don't want anyone using ths club as a platform to promote what I believe a political issue no matter how relevant it is whether its supporting a politcal party, striking workers, the NHS, leave or remain, a rise in minimum wage, justice for someone wrongly imprisoned, or campaigning against the removal of the Marus Bridge roundabout.

What's political about the NHS???

Good job you've boycotted the club then. The Emergency Services game against Catalans when the players take the knee would really get your blood boiling.

You know very well that the NHS can be viewed as a political issue with regards the privatisation and funding issues coupled with low pay for certain staff and too many managers etc. That's what I mean by it being a political issue.

F*** me!! In that case everything is political because it can be brought up in parliament.

If we're sponsored by WWL NHS Trust next season and have their branding on the shirt will you stop going?

How about the league being sponsored by a gambling company. That leads to addiction, crime, homelessness etc etc. People are always campaigning for their MP to bring in tighter controls on gambling.

Think I might stop watching rugby until the sport is no longer sponsored by a gambling firm and I won't support any player that may have ever played a game of poker.

Ok, far too many piling in to fend off each reply.

Hypothetical question, George Floyd doesn't die last year, do Wigan Warriors kneel before every game this season?
