I'm all for Craig been hullfc positive but he does half come out with some rubbish. Last comment on humberside "what do people expect Agar to do while sat on his seat".

For starters Craig he could explain why we are so clueless in attack inside the opponents 10 and why appear to have no set moves that all the players are aware off. Additionally can you explain your thinkijg on why we have a wingers on the bench for 76 minutes and decide to utilise him when the game is lost.

Agar would be out his depth in a puddle, clueless.

I just can't understand their Agar bias. They were harping on the other day about how Hull normally do better against the top teams and raise their game, a texter then text the W/L % against the top 4, needless to say no one commented on the text.

I've come to the conclusion that Murdock is just another ass kisser to Agar. He is so pro Agar its cringeworthy at best.

He spouts about how good Agar is etc but then when asked why if he's so good we have gone backwards under his tenure he changes the subject and frankly he gets quite obnoxious on the subject.

Why did Radio Humberside go off so soon?

Got back to the car and the post game coverage had finished.

Maybe they are not allowed the Exclusive "Agar resigns" scoop??

Last week,Murdock said Agar's tactics are the same as NSW and Qld!!

Tonight, he stated Hulls problems, are due to our first choice halfback is injured,

but havent St Helens been missing Eastmond & Pryce all season?????

Think they did about 3 texts then cut off, didn't even get chance to hear agars excuses.

It's embarrassing how far he is up Agars ar$e, pressure is increasing and there didn't seem many who stayed behind to applaud either.

Murdoch is an idiot when it comes to Agar.

Maybe he hacked his phone?

The bloke is a dick.

I like Doc, just asked him a very direct question on Twitter but don't expect an answer.

He's replied, he said thanks for the offer but you can keep your own season pass

He said "no thanks I'm 100% straight and not interested in that sort of thing"

It's just one of life's little mysteries, in the same way that some people find 'Miranda' funny and others derive pleasure from listening to drum n' bass music. There's obviously just a certain type of person that is perversely impressed by pinheaded illiterate losers from the West Yorkshire area. There's nowt as queer as folk!





Shame Jimmy Rule is one of them mind.

Finish at 10 now apparently

So that basically fooks everyone off who has been at the game

Shame they dont. broadcast Agar's post match interview at 11pm,

Good bedtime listening!!!

It's ridicuous with them having AM, FM, DAB and online that their coverage finishes within about 15 minutes of the game finishing. Presuably their football coverage on a Saturday will wind up at 5.15? Yeah, right.

I can feel an email coming on.

See what time they finish next Friday night when City entertain blackpool.

I used to like murdock but he's becoming as embarrassing in his praise of all things Hull as phil clarke is with wigan

It is not just Doc, many people who have behind the scenes access and ex players all seem to see what he is doing and agree with the most of it.

Their tactics were bang on last night, something picked up by Mcrae and Morgan as well as the two idiots. How did you want them to beat Wigan, 5 drives and a kick and hope that Tom Briscoegot some interception tries? As was mentioned by the SKY team the only way to beat Wigan is play for repeat sets in their 30mtrs and build pressure, not trying to score off each play but to just keep moving them around from side to side and let their slide defence mix up.

The problem was that at times Hull dropped ball and took dumb options. I cannot for the life of me understand why that would be Agar's fault when he is sat in the stands?

Hull play a high tempo attacking game when they can but execution is poor.

Rich Agar shouldn't have to Coach basic skills to International players.

The question as to why they are playing so dumb at times can only lie with the players. Confidence? Unhappiness? Lack of interest?

I dont see how a guy from Cumbria giving his honest opinion having played the game at the highest level can be shot down by so many.

Typical black and white,can only see what he wants too.!

This is the problem, we try to play high tempo but as you say our execution is poor. Surely any coach can see this (we all can in the stands!) If you can see it, then do something about it, learn to adapt to what we can do well. But agar is not up to it.

And as for Murdock, i think he is a decent commentator, but he is becoming embarrassing with his defence for Agar.
Murdock said last night that the Wigan players have bought into Maguire's work ethic. The question needs to be asked why havent our lot bought into Agar's vision, if all the behind the scenes people value him so highly? I honestly dont think the players share the same confidence, they look unhappy and to be fair dont look to interested.

Change is needed BIG TIME

I'm not sure if your post is a genuine one or an amusing parody of the kind of sycophantic nonsense that Murdock comes out with. But, assuming it's genuine, perhaps you could answer a few questions:

Why, given that yourself and 90% of the people who use these boards can identify what [ineeds to be done[/i to beat Wigan, do you think that a man should keep his job purely for getting the theory right? Are you unable to acknowledge that the real skill in elite level sports coaching is often not in knowing what to do, but in how to get the players to [uactually do it[/u and do it consistently?
[i
'Rich Agar shouldn't have to Coach basic skills to International players'[/i - This is precisely the sort of stuff supporters of Cullen used to come out with if you recall? Tony Smith came in with a different approach (remember him falling out with Thackray because he wanted to change his catching technique) and look what happened.

[i'I dont see how a guy from Cumbria giving his honest opinion having played the game at the highest level can be shot down by so many.'[/i Because when you say things like 'FC play the same way as the origin teams' and base your opinions on everything but statistics and results then you leave yourself open to ridicule, regardless of what part of the country you hail from and what you used to do for a career. Are you unable to recognise that fact simply because you too are pro-Agar?

Finally, how can you possibly justify blaming the players when every single one of them has been signed or re-signed by the man in charge, and he has remained the one constant throughout a 4-year period of abject failure? I can only assume that it's the same sort of bias that allows you to come on here criticising Brian Noble's coaching abilities yet singing the praises of Iestyn Harris', despite the fact that a quick glance at their respective record sheets shows that what your saying couldn't be further from the truth?

Who signed these players? Who works with them every day? Whose [iresponsibility[/i is it to ensure that they are happy, confident, and able to implement his instructions? It's Agar's JOB to sort these things out and he has spectacularly failed to do so over a period of several years. If he isn't up to it then he should walk. Simples.

Oh - and while I'm at it, who is it who picks ludicrous benches and makes idiotic interchanges?

He wasn`t that Black and White jumping around in the West Stand supporting Rovers in 2007!
