NOT95% of people on here don't have a clue what you're on about, WW!!
A bloke at work told me he has a photo of Ganson crying on the back of the bus on they way home from Wembley after we'd beat them 27-0. Unfortunately he's a Saints fan and won't let me borrow it to copy!mickw posted:

Well you, John, Andy and everyone else near us have a go at me enough for defending refereeing decisions when they go against Wigan! hahaFlash posted:
No you can't. I have never known a person who is truly impartial. We are all the sum total of our genes, upbringing and personal beliefs.
I thought you might say that... however, I am a Wigan fan first and foremost, so surely that over rides any affinity with refereeing?Flash posted:
Actually right there is a good example of what I mean. You believe you are being impartial, but you are actually being swayed by your affinity with the referees. I know of many people who believe they are impartial. Unfortunately it is a human impossibility.
Well I suppose I am trying to jump into the referees mind to try and think what he must have been thinking. Based on this I made the assumption that because he didn't penalise for dissent that the calls from the Warrington players were polite, if a little excitable.Flash posted:
Not neccessarily. It all depends, as I said earlier, on your personal belief system. To tkae the current example that we have been discussing. Had the positions at Warrington been reversed and it had been Wigan players surrounding the ref etc. but instead of changing his decision he had penalised Wigan for dissent, I can well imagine you supporting/justifying that decision in exactly the same way as you did the one on Sunday.
