Many of the comments in relation to the Owner, Coach and running of the club are not those of most Warriors supporters I know.
So you know some deluded Wigan fans as yourself?

It is a reference to another thread where a poster was accused of being a "cinema goer" meaning their support extended no further than turning up to games and enjoying the match. Not interested in how the club deals with anything else. Your comment above gives the impression you don't care about how the Sam situation has been handled, hence "A cinema goer then!".

It's just another BS comment aimed to split the fan base in to degrees of supporter, an internet phenomenon with no place in the real world. Keyboard warriors with inflated egos not realizing that their forum rants achieve nothing but annoy other users.
How dare someone go to the match and enjoy the game, i'll stop here because the next sentence would start being abusive about how pathetic they are.

P.S Learn from Josie's posts she is funny, knowledgeable and not judgmental, all this while being respected by everyone.

Well said Kaii, I too am a poor deluded supporter with no special insider knowledge, who just enjoys the game with my friends, and have been doing so since the 60's and will continue to do so. I don't know how myself or the club have survived without all the analytical experts on these forums.

Kaai you appear reasonably mature in age. Hence, you will know and be able to acknowledge that fans/people have tried to distinguish themselves from other fans since the club virtually began and it has nothing to do whatsoever with the internet. Some very easy ways in which people distinguish themselves and villify others is the stand they sit in at the DW or whether you stood or sat at CP, we have some fans now who villify non season ticket holders compared to season ticket holders.

Britain at least professes to not be a draconian state so by my reckoning that means anybody / everybody is free to hold / express their opinion provided it does not breach site rules particularly libel.

Ironically, Wane alluded post match that the criticism of the players in the media had been a motivating factor pre Huddersfield so perhaps challenging the players to 'man up' is far far better than telling them they are wonderful no matter what? The only time criticism is harmful is from within by the coaches towards the players, even then only when it happens week after week as in the Ian Millward era.

It is my experience that those who just supposedly go to matches for the 'craic' are the truly negative people sniping at balanced supporters offering positive and negative comments. It is no different to the tap room or the factory floor when a debate would ensure between drinking friends/working colleagues and Mr Craic would be in the background saying nothing, listening and then walk away later verbally backstabbing those people enjoying earnest debate with others. The Internet is no different to the Tap room or the Factory Floor. Most importantly UNLESS you breach some 'house rule' or worst a law of the land then it is a FREE WORLD!!!

CPW, I enjoy going to games as stated without analysing everything. I am neither a backstabber nor a negative person. Indeed if you ask anyone that knows me I am an outgoing honest person. To be classed as a sniping, negative backstabber just because we just enjoy the game and don't make copious notes so we can pontificate on the later I find offensive.

Did anybody mention you AlanF. To be honest the internet is at least more honest, I have no idea if you sit / or have sat in the tap room or stand / have stood on the shop floor listening to a debate and then criticise those that are debating sport behind their backs. If you think that analogy fits you that is your choice.

The only notes I make are mental ones both playing / watching sport I analyse what I participate in / watch. I was born that way and hence made an excellent player / sports captain.

As a spectator I watch and analyse. I do not say much during the game as that may disrupt others paid enjoyment. I personally never waste time going for a 'plastic' in every sense of the word pint or standing in front of a scummy / smelly urinal. Others do and that is their choice. It is a free world provided they do not obstruct my view too many times.

If somebody just watches an event oblivious or could not care less re the outcome. That is their CHOICE. If somebody want to drink plastic beer and pee their hard earned against the wall in a smelly urinal. That is their CHOICE. My CHOICE is to watch / analyse / understand & enjoy the game I attend. FREE WORLD provided you break no laws / house rules.
