Awesome result! That game should have been on sky!

One Danny Tickle, there's only one Danny Tickle!

Good old Tess, still remember the drop goal he got for us against Leeds in the playoffs.

I was in work whilst recieving text updates, I thought my mate was having me on.

Loving all the whinging on the scouse board, they're going mad over O'Meley's smash on Roby which caused him to go off injured. Aparently 'The Ogre' led with his elbow.

One word:

Fozzard.

We started well but Saints took control in the first half on the back of a few dubious decisions from Phil Bentham. When Saints scored at the start of the second half to make it 6-26 I feared a real hammering.

We showed real character to turn it around and the atmosphere was amazing, especially when Tickle's drop went over (after a couple of misses from Longy).

As for Wigan, I can see you going all the way, the two weekends off for the cup will be a blessing in disguise. See you at our's next month for what should be a corker.

Matty, two wrongs don't make a right, and I don't want to see any player injured. As I posted on there, the match review commissioner will file a report and the match review panel will look at the game. If they see anything, the player involved, Mark O'Mealy? will have the incident viewed by the disciplinary and it will be taken from there.


But what is quite amusing is that the majority of posters on there who are doing the complaining never went to the game, nor have they seen the incident.

Cracking result for Hull, especially considering the start they got off to.

I don't think that was the point he was trying to make

You are right that O'meley should be punished if he did use the elbow but what's laughable are the Saints fans who for years have defended Fozzard when he's done exactly the same kind of thing.

You can't have it both ways IMO.

Have they? Fozzard is well known among Saints fans for leading with the elbow, and IMO deserves whatever he gets for it. But Roby isn't Fozzard. Roby has to my knowledge never been guilty of any dirty play either by the ref or just by the fans (of either team). He is a clean player who 99.9% of the time has a superb tackling technique which puts neither himself nor his opposition at any risk. Any fan happy that Roby is possibly seriously injured because of what Fozzard has done in the past is an idiot and not worthy of breathing space.

I didn't see many Saints fans booing Fozzard when he knocked Fielden cold out with his elbow a few seasons ago.

Fielden also has an excellent tackling technique like Roby but it didn't matter then did it.

Was impressed with Wakey last night, next week could be tricky following the England v France game, especially if our rep players back up.

It would be very surprising if Wigan didn't win the league now, Wire wont make up 4 points while they are chasing the cup as well, and Saints will have no chance of doing the same with 6 to make up.
Good to see 3 Lancashire (old lancashire) teams at the top though!

Correct. This was exactly the point I was trying to make!

Yeah! I Bet your loving the League table right Now!

Not saying that I'm happy to see him injured you scouse bint!! I'm saying that your one-eyed enough not to condemn a player of your own who performs in the same way every other week.

Which way is it?

Exactly.

No one is happy that Roby is injured and no one is saying what O'Meley was supposed 2 have done is ok. If found guilty he should be banned simple as really and I hope Roby isn't injured for to long.

The problem lies when SOME saints fans cheer when Fozzard makes a big run using the same tactics. Some Saints fans then can't scream blue murder when it happens against thier team.

Like I said there was zero sympathy or worry when it happened 2 Fielden a few seasons back.

Just seen Danny in Golborne Asda, had to say thanks for his efforts last night

As we know to our cost, finishing top isn't the be all and end all mate!

I take it you are not one of the majority of stains fans who cheered when Newton was stumbling about the other week? Get your own house in order before you start critisizing others

How about two words...

Fozzard

Nickle

You know, I was thinking Nickle when I typed it.

Well, you pea-brained Manc idiot, since you think it's payback for a clean, classy player like Roby to take the fall for a halfwit idiot like Fozzard then I can only assume you were happy to see Roby injured. There can be no other excuse for your ty reasoning.

It is a shame that Roby is injured, HOWEVER there have been dozens of "Roby style incidents" over the last decade that (on & off) Fozzard has been playing for Stains.
I remember Fozzard's excessive strapping used to batter his opponents on a regular basis to the point where some have to leave the field....Much to the delight of Stains fans.
Yes it is unfortunate for Roby had to leave the field (although not actually heard there is any serious damage been caused yet), but as the Stains club has not taken any action against their own player Fozzard (by making him change his attacking style) then by that fact it's "If you live by the sword, you die by the sword" / the payback I was referring to with Roby being unfortunate victim this time.

Maybe this will get through but I doubt it as I feel this one's as thick as a Wigan butty...!!

Having just read through some posts on the Hull board to see if there was any substance to any illegality to the charge by O'Meley I can see that you really are getting your knickers in a twist over this, would the 'painters' be in this weekend by any chance? (And from someone who didn't even go to the game either). On the Hull board they are saying Fozzard led with his arm all night (and got away with it, yet again). Quote ="Staffs FC"It wasn't illegal - right in front of me. Roby came flying in and met Ogre's shoulder the rest was history.'" viewtopic.php?f=34&t=458969 However I think this post sums you up perfectly: Quote ="carl_spackler"Spot on. Absolutely no hostile/negative reaction to it at the time, the only people who seem to think it was a leading arm are those who by their own admission haven't seen it.'"
