Wigan 1-0 Rochdale: Alternative match highlights

You’ve seen the official 2 minute match highlights package. But now, here’s the stuff they deemed too sexy for YouTube or even the Internet.

Warning: contains Grant Holt

David ‘Two Shots’ Perkins and Stephen ‘Not Neil’ Warnock each bursting through midfield with marauding 40 yard whippet runs. Who knew they were so quick?

Yanic Wildschut leaving Joe Rafferty for dead on the left wing, but also killing an unfortunate spectator in NS1 with his subsequent off-target piledriver.

A scrap of paper found in the referees’ office at half time: “penalties bad, red cards good”.

The biggest cheer of the whole afternoon from the Rochdale fans for a Wigan foul throw. As one spectator remarked, “I haven’t seen one of those in years!”

Grant Holt receiving some… erm… less than complimentary comments from certain sections of the home support:

A very hungry ES2 pointing out that Grant Holt had a 'pie in his pocket, pie in his pocket, he's got a pie in his pocket'. The biggest cheer of the whole afternoon from the Wigan fans - including the goal - for a Rochdale foul throw. As one spectator remarked, "I haven't seen one of those for at least 20 minutes!" An impromptu staging of the North West Corner Flagging Exhibition at the DW Stadium, 3.10pm. Starring Haris Vuckic and anyone else that just so happened to be hanging around the South Stand. Some strange men stealing the goalposts to be smelted down and sold to Cash4Goalposts.com for 50p. [caption id="attachment_541" align="aligncenter" width="624"] (c)PA[/caption]
