Exercise4less at Wigan...

[Kris]

Sunday People reported blood all over the walls etc - bit of a mess by all accounts

[Old Frightful]

They're tough in Hull. Didn't flinch at the photo of Wane?

Didn't even notice him.

 

Thought it was related to an unconnected story in Cincinatti.

[Exiled Wiganer]

Would this be an apt time for the "it's not fair" picture?

It would be shoehorning it in but it is so funny it deserves being re posted at every opportunity.

Hahahaha. I do enjoy your posts!

[Just Browny]

In other Wigan-based news, they've dropped the 'Warriors' tag and replaced it with 'Whitewashers'.

What do you mean by that? Which news story did you have in mind?

[super major]

Club probe, police probe.

Strangeways will be a doddle

[Hullfan]

Bateman smashed mossop all over no biggiieeee

[RidingPie]

Wasn't Leeds responses to the Hardacre incidents similar. I.e. Let's get all the facts together then act (or not as the case more or less was). Wigan under Lenegan have generally handled things quite well. Using terms like whitewash etc is a bit premature, let's give it a week so all the people involved can have their say etc, or are we all presumed guilty now in trial by Twitter?

[Exiled Wiganer]

There are as many whitewashers at Wigan as drug testers at Warrington. Lol!

[JohnM]

The price of fame.

[bobbruce]

Wane speaks. Warning:NSFW

So Wane say three or four players didn't train I'm going to say Mossop,Bateman,Sarginson Charnley and possibly S Tomkins.

I take it by that you're offended mate, apologies if so.

Pretty much agree, although a week may not be long enough.

 

These things take time and shouldn't be conducted in public, for all people's desire to know what went on.... If the police are investigating then it could be a significant period of time before Wigan are in a position to make public statements apart from the most general. 

 

No doubt there are decisions about who plays on Friday night to be made.

I guess Shaun knows if there were three, or four players who didn't train.

That was a WKRP joke, wasn't it? Or have I missed something?

[sweaty craiq]

If the local drums are correct and they keep a lid on this one then I want these guys should I ever end up in court

[terrywebbisgod]

You've missed something.

[Kenilworth Tiger]

Quite so, though I doubt it will.

It's put my mind at rest that's for sure.

I'd heard a terrible rumour that these lads had criticised a referee. Now that would have warranted posts about respect, role models and questions of the ethos running through the club. Thankfully it was just a massive scrap that needed police intervention, time to move on and stop slurring the great Wigan name

[Dave T]

I know some Wigan fans have declared nothing to see here, but thats not what an investigation means.

It simply means no comment yet.

Hope none of the nastier rumours are true and it was something which can be dealt with internally with little fuss.

[RidingPie]

I certainly didn't say that, and I'm not sure who did. Most of us seem to be saying something similar to, let's let the investigation take its course and not try people by rumours on social media.

We know there's been an incident but let's be honest originally Twitter couldn't make up its mind whether the fight happened at the gym or at the racecourse (perhaps it happened at both perhaps it didn't). What's important is to make sure we know the facts before acting. Generally the club under Lenegan has acted with a decent amount of integrity.

EW certainly played it down, referring to it as 'not terribly exciting', then John M commented, suggesting people shouldn't be discussing it.

 

I agreed with your last post, I think it is a sensible approach certainly around things where the police are involved. 

 

Twitter may be dismissed by people, but in the absence of great RL journos, it is often all we have for hearing news - this is how we found out about an incident, and despite Twitter being mocked, hey, it was true there WAS an incident.

 

That said, the comments do appear to range from "two lads giving each other Chinese burns" to "player glassed and needing 50+ stitches". I generally go with the approach that the truth will be at the lower end of the sensational claims!

Ah that explains it I put John M on ignore a while ago. I really should take him off it again.

You'll have to remind me of where I did that.

Just clicked onto this posting as I thought it was about the pies linking up with an exercise chain.

So i'll just wait and see what comes out in the wash.
