Don't try and turn this into a childish 'our place is better than yours' thread. It's been done umpteen times.



The article is an Oz view of Hull (KR). One read by a fair few people.

If you must have a childish 'better than' thread then argue that Hull is better than Sydney.

childish? try looking at the person who posted the link in the first place

people are quite capable of reading articles without immature people trying to gain a few laughs at the expense of others

Even a signing like Willie Mason couldn't save Huddersfield from being utterly invisible and pointless.

Yes it is an incredibly accurate piece.
Oh wait when was Micheal Dobson been our captain?
Maybe not so accurate then just like the rest of it.

All this does is show the reporter as unprofessional and ignorant.

"Nothing too dramatic has happened at Craven Park, except for when strong winds blew the giant Red Robin mascot off the stadium a few years back."

Promotion? How about the Cooke saga?

"... Hull KR's beloved captain and former Canberra Raiders goalkicker Michael Dobson..."

Dobbo's captain now?

I suggest she does some research before writing an article such as this.

Right on cue

Seems like the Hull Daily Mail has its knickers in a twist over this story but its readers don't appear to be so opposed looking at the bulk of the comments.

At the risk of showing my ignorance of Ocker colloquialisms, wtf are "cheap doonas"?

Yes you are childish and typically miss the point. Your silly anti Huddersfield comment was just plain stupid..

What is 'funny' about this article is the lazy and myopic view of the journalist. She was happy to use the usual cliches and stereotypes.So , yes I was trying to gain a few laughs at the expense of the Lucy Carne



But you keep kneejerking - its all you are good for.

A inexpensive duvet.

Appears to be some variety of Duvet native to Australia.

nice backtracking

you posted this link for one reason only, to take the p!ss out of the city of hull and to try and get reactions from others, you're well known for doing the same with wakefield

i doubt you were trying to get a few laughs out of the reporter, your just trying to save face!

Take it as its written, its a decent bit of banter

You are pathetic. But keep digging. You missed the point and you haven't got the b*lls to face up. Now you are resorting to making up the 'motivation ' of a poster. Careful now your paranoia is showing.


All the journalist missed out was flat hats and whippets and it could have been Stephen Jones at the Sunday Times.

But you cling to your defensive delusions - you seem to need them

what a rubbish piece.
Shows how up their own anus the Aussies are.
Having spent a period over the winter in Aus, give me northern England anyday.. it rains less here: honestly

As ridiculous as it is, I thought it pushed a few comedy buttons. Notheing that the majority of people from hull would quite happily take the rise out of themselves.





The day anyone starts taking "The Hull Daily Mail" comments section seriously is the day to take a cricket bat to your means of internet access.

What are doonas exactly?

Kebabs at a guess.

Sorry, just noticed Sheldon's earlier reply about it actually been a name for a cheap duvet.

I thought she'd spelt Donnas wrong too before I read Sheldon and Kosh's replies!

Selling cheap Donnas?! What sort of disgraceful, shady racket do you think is being run at CP Market!

Well, given that the author of that piece evidently thinks people from Hull speak with a Scottish accent ("Beg Woolie"icon_wink.gif, applying the same logic, I read 'doonas' as being 'downers'. Drugs, basically.

Is this what classes as wit is Aus? Wow, no wonder all their comedians are crap. As well researched as the tory slash and burn policy and probably about as popular.

Maybe someone should tell them you can buy a book on 'ull phrases such as 'er ner it's the perpe' When the head of the catholic church is about to catcth them causing mischief.

They must give away journalism qualifications in Aus the moment they step off the convict boat.

FFS.......I know HKA are the biggest club in the world and apparently NASA expect that when they discover life on another planet the life forms there will all be HKA fans too....but do we need another f()cking Willie Mason based thread

Hell yeah, think how much it'll pi$$ Smokey off.
