I don't see how you can say Smith looks unfit. He looks like he's shed a couple of stone to me.

Tim Smith is unfit because he has major health issues. In 2005 when he had his stellar season he was very slim, not much bigger than a Sam T. Even then he was never fast but he was incredibly 'fast' between the ears.

It is tragic so see how his life/career have deteriorated.

Was in the East Stand on Sunday and noticed a load of our so called 'loyal fans' leaving with 20minutes left How can these people call themselves loyal fans? They are happy to stay till the end when Wigan are winning... Why not stay till the end? Regardless? For one, it was their first game of the season - Ok, we didn't play as well as we could have, but it annoys me to see these fans who call themselves 'loyal' and wear the '18' on the back of their shirts leave with a good 20 minutes to go? There's obviously no trust in the side also... with the score being at 12-6 aswell, clearly Wigan could have come back within those 20 minutes! Another thing which really did wind me up was when my friend shouted 'Call yourself Loyal Fans?' to a number of them leaving, and a man turned around and told him he'd be waiting for him when he left - Before hurling a s**t load of abuse back at him! These people aren't Wigan fans - A real fan is someone who follows the team through all the s**t...

YAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN

Another thing I wanted to talk about was people saying Smith is rubbish - Obviously it's going to be hard to fill Barretts boots but come on, the lads played one game at 6? You can hardly rely on his performance last season when he'd had no preseason training and came on from sub - What cracks me up is the fact that you will all be licking his booty in a few weeks when he plays awsome.

I sit in the east, i leave early due to work, If its a Friday night game and on sky I miss the last 10-15min, if it is not on sky the last 5. Does that me me not a loyal fan, as you stated? People leave early for a variety of reason, you don't know what these are.

Wiganstripel ... you obviously wasn't watching the same game ... We wasn't clueless - We knew what we were doing, but made too many errors - It had nothing to do with cluelessness - It was just easy mistakes, dropping the ball etc. Your not telling me that Wigan didn't stand a chance of winning that game - Had we not made as many mistakes we'd of won, simple as. It's nothing to do with cluelessness, more carelessness (and no, these aren't the same thing)

dont you mean you was watching a different game cause they was CLUELESS it was more than mistakes yes we would of won maybe by 6 points our self or maybe not smith ran out of ideas fast

Don't get me wrong I was as bitterly dissapointed with Wigan's performance and Mathers' lack of balls as the next man.

However, Wigan fans that boo the team, and especially those that booed Mathers on his return from the sin bin are feable.

It's these kind of deluded fans that thought after the Huddersfield game last year that the only reason we ain't winning the league is due to a 'lack of pride in the shirt'.

well i tell you what we would nt of won as many games last year if the fans never booed cause every time the fans booed last year wigan came out fighting

For god sake, why don't you take a second a read what i've said - IF YOU LEAVE EARLY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BEAT THE TRAFFIC, OR GET HOME EARLY, THEN FINE... THIS POST DOES NOT CONCERN YOU... I'M TALKING ABOUT FANS WHO LEAVE EARLY BECAUSE OF THE TEAMS POOR PERFORMANCE... HOW MANY F*****G TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY IT.
