According to him, the team bus are late arriving at Headingly because we didn't time our journey to perfection, unlike him, clarky and Jon Wells. Nothing to do with the weather or anything then!!!!

What a prick.

He said that we were late because of the weather.

Have you never said anything with tongue in cheek before?

WTF is it with people on here lately?

And then about 2 mins later said that we hadn't timed our journey to perfection as if to suggest we set off too late regardless of the weather.

All the time, but I'm not employed to present live TV shows.

I bet you wouldn't been so sanctimonious if he'd said it about Rovers or Leeds.

If they were late, they didn't time it to perection, he is right.

Team Bus held up in Leeds, Fire near the ground arrived at the ground at 7.15pm.

Live with it and move on, let other teams whinge about getting there late.

the team bus must have arrived empty - none of the players seemed to have turned up

Which Eddie said.

At least they delayed the kick off unlike last week

shouldnt of left hull at 4-30 on a friday night match,then divert to pick aspinwall up on the way,poor planning if you ask me,nowt to do with us losing tho were just not good enough and leeds were no better tbh just that they took there chances and we never.

If that's true wolfie not a very good sign for our club, really was looking forward to Gentle/Pearson taking the club forward, seem to be stagnating somewhat lately.

Take your tongue from out his ar*e boy , your not a dog are you !

I wondered at the game why we only warmed up for about 10 minutes, and even then it looked poor, things that usually come as second nature like the catch and pass drill and where to go when they start hitting pads went wrong tonight.

That's because Gentle is respected throughout the game

Yes, Eddie did mention the weather and the fire which delayed the team coach so get off his back on this one

on the subject of being late - doesn't the team sheets have to be handed in an hour before KO ? Failure to do so is usually a letter to Red Hall from the Match Commissioner with a fine or rollicking at a later date

I know this happened at a Championship game involving Toulouse and Fev (IIRC) when the away team decided to arrive half an hour before KO due to the very hot conditions etc in their playing kit and ready for the warm up ! The Match Commissioner complained to the RFL though I don't know if any further action was taken

If so then thats shambolic

it's worse than shambolic, it's totally unprofessional, even the fans that went would have planned to set off at around that time, if not earlier.

A professional sporting side with a wealthy backer should have stayed in a Hotel the night before and had a full day of mental/physical preparation, not got on an National Express calling at numerous destinations to L**ds!

Oh you do make me laugh at times

happy to entertain

OK, maybe you think a hotel was unnecessary, let me put it this way, if your lads were playing in Pudsey at 8pm, what time would you leave home if you also had to pick their mate up from Horsforth on the way?

has anybody considered the fact that the team coach may have been delayed from setting off due to external factors - not attempting to defend anybody just a thought

On paper and considering the impact that the loss of Sam & Ticks would have had - wasn't too disappointed - poor rewf decisions at times + lack of diection + some very poor kicks didn't help

How much time do you allow over and above the normal time. I left Birmingham yesterday for 3 hour journey back to Hull and it took me 6 hrs 10 mins. Sometimes things are just out of your own control, like our coach breaking down the other week. Hemmings is a 2@ by the way.
