I'm sure, I'll take your word for it.

Thinking of a number is unhinged? More or less so than raking one out over our latest signing?

That he could - which just supports what fans have always said. Players can have a drink, enjoy themselves (within the law), as long as they are performing on the pitch.

Ritchie Barnett Snr and Jason Smith did this - Tansey and others didnt

They needed an empty KFC bucket for the collection for the bus driver. Nowt wrong in that.

Thinking of a number may be considered unhinged in the backwater you grew up in but around here it's considered normal behaviour. Have you never heard of Johnny Ball?

So, if the KFC rumour has been rubbished but people want to discuss the wider issue of professionalism. Has anybody actually got proof that we are not a professional club?

Soooooooooooooo...............

We disagree..... and..... we agree



I think that seems to be a good point from which to move on.

I always get a little misty eyed when he's mentioned. What I wouldn't give to see him step out of the line and knock his opposing centre into the middle of next week just one more time.

Because it wouldnt have alot to do with the subject I was bringing up?

I get the feeling Hull FC can do no wrong in your eyes, they do alot of things very well - but this was one thing that in my opinion I thought we could improve on as it may reap rewards on the field.

They could have used Longy's Burger King bag.

Exactly - what he did off the pitch didnt affect him on it, apart from at the end.

I think he had a big impact on Yeaman - as 95 times out of 100, Yeaman times them well too

Or even as unhinged as suggesting somebody masturbates over a signing?

I've heard Longy leads the set piece drills with a rolly hanging out of the corner of his gob.

They couldnt. Longy had done a similar thing to what you do at cinema - hole in the bottom of the popcorn box, insert penis, get the girl to grab some popcorn!

Only thing was, Lauaki didnt enjoy it!!

So, no then?

Didn't you see? According to IceCreamPro Gleeson makes Mal Meninga look like Greame Hallas. It was embarrassing at times. I'd say that I was using the term 'masturbating' metaphorically, but I'm not sure that's the case.

We're ever so earnest today, aren't we? I have never suggested we aren't a professional club, I was lampooning those who were. Recognising that ought to have been quite easy.

You seem to pay that much attention to our ex professional friend (as do others) I'm wondering if you would actually like to join him.

All the evidence was there though

Such a discussion would be worthwhile I agree, but your opening arguments appear to have been shot down in flames so perhaps there isn't the basis for that discussion that there seemed to be?

oh ooh - I wondered how long it would take before I was "outed" as someone who can't see any wrong in the club. I'm just someone who can't find it in me to pick holes for the sake of it with practically every post I make about the club.

Certainly they've got their problems and they don't get everything right on or off the field and, no, they don't have the best coach in the league but does it have to be every thread? Does the top half of your cup have a crack in it?

You're so quick to jump to his defence, I'm wondering if you already have.

I didn't even mention you in my initial post. You came up with (what you thought) was an amusing anecdote. I took that to mean you specifically don't have no proof. Was I wrong?

Fantastic reply, no really.

You're not that simple, are you?

I said something silly about the situation to lampoon those who suggest that we're 'like a pub team'. Why would that require a response asking whether or not I had proof of something I quite obviously didn't believe was the case? Do [iyou[/i have any proof? Well, do you?
