Fair play.

I know Stejay and was pretty gutted hearing him open up about summat shit.

But you opted to keep it up there for all to read? 
 

There was an accusation in a mental health thread about opening up to the crowd on here and then one of those pretending to be a listening ear uses the information against them later. A despicable act, I’d say.

Now, here you are, reading about a man’s worries for his addict son and using it against him.

Sir, you’re a cunt.

This is why people worry about opening up. I 100% agree. Twattish behaviour. 

[Steejay]

Thanks, chaps, for the retorts.

 Yep, I thought twice about the post but I guess that most of us, whatever our age, wouldn’t want to hear that they would come and push our fans around.

Them and Blackpool have a proper grudge against us and always provoke trouble.

PNE and even t’Rovers, have the banter without any agro.

Anyway, I’m fine, ta.

COYW!

Haigh on the other hand is quite decent.

Like any town in England, Wigan has it’s shitholes for sure, but lets not kid ourselves BL is like Alderley Edge.

 

They aren't exactly the same though, I reckon Bolton is a wealthier town than Wigan.

If the 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester were arranged in wealth I reckon Stockport would be top and Wigan nearer the bottom than Bolton.

Wigan Athletic keep attracting plenty money to their boardroom though, paying Wyke a whopping 10k a week compared to Bolton's top striker Doyle on 4k a week. And i reckon when Evatt said he didn't want McLean he meant he couldn't afford him.

 

[TrickyTrotter]

Aunty Sharon on't official site asking us all to play nice tomorrow.  Expecting 20k.

I’d say it’s a bit simpler in that he simply isn’t as good as Dapo.

I dunno which is the wealthiest borough out of the 2,& not really arsed,but Wigan is definitely the wealthier football club at the moment.

I live on the outskirts of Wigan borough & i’m fortunate that the part that  i live in is pleasant enough with very few properties and lots of open spaces, no drug culture, no gang culture , low crime rates etc.

Aspull,Haigh,Worthington, Standish, Appley Bridge etc,are all decent enough areas in the borough - just like Harwood,Turton,Bradshaw, Egerton etc are considered amongst the nicer areas of Bolton. Neither town is perfect, both have rough areas and problems,but i’ve lived in both & i know where i’d rather live.

Anyway - so long as the scruffy cunts aren’t singing “ Bolton get battered, everywhere they go” at the full time whistle, we know we’ll have done our job.

Let's not kid ourselves, the lad from Londonderry is plenty good enough for our league, but carries/attracts too many problems. 

[Duck Egg]

I actually quite admired McLean's stance on the poppy.  It took balls to stand up to it and why would a Derry boy from a fiercely republican family, want to wear one anyway?

He doesn't help himself though with his general demeanour and twattishness on the park.

Evatt dismissed the link with him before he'd even signed for Wigan, so I'm inclined to believe his version that it was bullshit from McLeans agent trying to get Wigan to up their offer.

Perhaps because folk from the Republic also fought against Nazi tyranny. 

As did folk from all over the world.

The poppy is nothing more than a symbol of remembrance to all those whose sacrifice allowed the free and open society we now have. 

If they hadn't, and the jackboot had conquered Britain, then his emerald Isle would have gone in fairly short order too.

It isn't political, but he's choosing to make it so. That's what angers people.

Dapo and Amaechi were probably pencilled in to be first choice wide players, even if we were interested i'm not sure if his wages would fit as a back up player

TBF, I thought it was to remember any british servicemen who died in conflict

which would include during the troubles

and according to wiki

The wearing of poppies in Northern Ireland is controversial. It is seen by many as a political symbol and a symbol of Britishness, representing support for the British Army. The poppy has long been the preserve of the unionist/loyalist community.

They did but Ireland was largely neutral during the war, the Taioseach (sp?) even sending a telegram of condolence to Germany on the death of Hitler.

The poppy is a mark of remembrance for the deaths of British soldiers.  Hardly surprising that groups totally opposed to the presence of British soldiers, wouldn't want to be associated with it.  McLean could have just worn it and not made a fuss, and after the death threats he received afterwards, I'm sure there were days when he wished he had, but his stance, whether you agree with it or not, took courage.

Neutral? sending message of condolences on hitlers death … FFS it’s no wonder you’re  a duck egg.

I always thought the poppy was a symbol of rememerance for ALL soldiers in all conflicts? 
I stand to be corrected though.
