For someone who portrays herself as a mature woman you can be very child like and petulant at times I really don't get it.
It's a discussion forum not a slag people off or deride them forum.
But I see more and more from reading this forum that you aren't that reasoned a person at times and seem to hold grudges.
Shame really.
Why let seb get under your skin and you didn't reply to him today you simply plagiarized him for your own kicks.
I'm not really bothered by continuing this discussion with you as in the scheme of things your comments on here mean nothing to me.
So crack on and fill yourself of your own self importance.
I'm sure this will provoke a response from you or your disciples the best hull fans in the world ever.

Just calling out a double standard. Like saying this isn't a slag people off forum but labelling me self-important, petulant, unreasonable, meaningless and grudge-bearing in a single post. Good work. Not saying your wrong BTW.

You're right, it's not all down to the coach but powell is a good coach which he proved last season when taking a team of bottom dwellers to a 2nd place finish and a wembley final. A successful side is a mix of many things but a good coach is pivotal in this.

| We don't offer enough in attack to challenge this poor wigan side. 11 tries in 4 games says it all. 3 less than the next lowest scorers (warrington unbelievably enough) and at least 5 less than the rest of SL.

Seen as you seem pretty obsessed with me at the moment ill give you my feelings.
Last few years FC have been rubbish, mine and a large number of fans optmism had dwindled and tbh hit rock bottom last season. You know how much i critised but tbh didnt lay the blame all at Radfords door - i very rarely critised him as he was dealt a bad hand after what Gentle and Mcrae had done to the club. I was prepared to give him a chance.
This year we have two new half backs that were supposed to revolutionise the club, earlier than every pre season, better consistency, talk from the club of much improved performances with no more hammerings. On this basis im prepared to give teh club my full support, ive bought both home and away shirts, one for the mrs, one each for teh kids - £230 outlay.
We play Hudds - thats more like it, the team played for eighty mins and played for each other. Finally we seem to getting it right. Room for optimism. Next game I take my family to the Warrington match. Not a bad performance but i felt that Warrington won at a canter and never got out of first gear but still a galant defeat (as usual). Salford - oh dear - back to the same old same old, lazy defence cant be d to get up for the so called 'lesser' teams attitude that has plagud us for years. Are we any different to previous years i start wondering? Leeds game, tbh i though we looked poor from the off saying to my brother that Leeds have a much better intensity. Leeds mess it all up with continual knock ons and forwards giving us nearly all the ball yet we go in only 12-0 up. The second half starts and they score immedately. What follows is absolutely disgusting. Nothing has changed in any way. Were as appauling as ever, possibly worse than ever and thats it my already very fragile confidence in the club is shattered AGAIN and i start going the offensive in voicing my opposition as to the appauling attitude and lack of ability the team, coach and club have. Radford hasnt got a clue as was seen by his after match talk to Sky.
And thats where i am, Radford has had his chances and is clearly not the man for the job - he has to go and now, Tbh id like Pearson to sell the club to a rugby man as his continual poor decisions are ruining the club as much as Radfords coaching. I know that wont be easy as FC is a poisoned chalice but possibly only so because of continual poor decisions on coaching. Bring a top notch coach in, turn performances around and nobody is bothered about the owners though. Until this happens im abstaining from being a supporter. Ill always be a fan but the club gets no more of money whilst it continues to be appaulingly run from top to bottom. Slate me all you want, i dont give a flying one, thats where i am and i suspect there are a hell of a lot feeling exactly the same

This pretty much sums up my feelings as well, if I'm brutally honest though we are where I expected us to be after the first 5 fixtures with only 2 points on the board but I expected us to lose at hudds but beat Salford and I was happy with that because I know our first 5 fixtures were tough but and its a big but it's the manner of some of the defeats that have me feeling like I did last season, that radford isn't the man to lead us forward. It's only taken us 2 games into the season to fall back into the same old team we were last year, despite having two decent half backs we still struggle to turn pressure into points which in turn leads to us losing close games and after strong defensive displays against hudds and wire we've reverted back to lazy tackling,coughing up possession,giving to many pens away and generally been dumb with ball in hand. I really hoped we would see some steady improvement this season after generally recruiting quite well and I was willing to give radford a chance but I'm sorry to say we haven't improved at all and radford has taken this club backwards, I didn't want radford to be appointed in the first place and if I had the choice he would be gone now but if we don't get a win or two in the next three games then surely Pearson has to consider radfords position.
As a supporter I will continue to attend games no matter what because that's the way I am I carnt bare to sit at home if hull are playing I just enjoy attending matches, I don't always enjoy the rugby lol.
A lot of people are suggesting we are fickle because we won't give radford a chance but it's not about that it's about wanting the best for the club and some people need to realise that not everyone is of the same opinion about radford and it doesn't make us any less of a supporter because we arn't behind him.

| Oh dear, the great Hull not nearly as good as the fans think....again, a wigan 'A' team that was there for the taking but Hull could not even beat that! You should never have merged with Gateshead, is this your 15 year aniversary? What happened to the last 100 years? Oh yeah you gave it away, not your own ground, you play on a premiership football ground! Oh dear, Hull Kingston Rovers must be laughing!

| We've won 20% of our games so far, over the 23 games that would give us 4 and a bit wins! Total bollox of course, it's just statistics. We'll come good, whether we'll make the 8 is anyones guess. I said before the season i expected 9th / 10th place.

Warrington never got out of first gear and won at a canter? what game did you watch? be critical all you want you pay your money and you have your opinion but be real . I have yet to see you post anything remotely positive even when we win.Your not the only one who has bought shirts ect I bought four passes eight shirts and go to every game home and away including friendlies because i am a fan and whether they play good or bad thats my choice ,if you feel its not worth spending you cash then simple dont.But dont come on here talking garbage to justify your hatred Radford and Pearson.Take away the second half last week and i would defy anyone who say the players have not put a lot of effort in.Yes Radfords interview after last weeks game was not the best and after that performance what could he say?The only thing he could have said to please you was "I am off".Am i happy were we are No I would love to see us at the top .You have a dig at Pryce and Sneyd ? Pryce for me has looked really good and Sneyd a part from his shocking kicking game last night will get better.I know you probably want what we all want a side what can compete with the best but do you really think all this constant negativity is doing the club any good ..Rant over

| Maybe we just need to bring someone in alongside radford, maybe an attack coach or someone in the tim sheens mould at salford. Whatever, we need to do something and do it fast. 13 tries in 5 games is very worrying and we seem to be getting worse rather than better

They need to do more than express an interest, they need to be immediately available I.e. unemployed because no team will release its coach mid-season.

All this talk of bringing a top class coach in is pie in the sky. All the established decent coaches are tied up to clubs. Expressing an interest is a world away from someone leaving a club to come here. There've been vacancies before at this club and as far we know (with some confidence though) that no one "decent", the kind of name people are clammering for, has applied. If any of these names had applied we wouldn't have ended up with failed NRL coaches or assistants elsewhere or cheaper rookies. Some folk seem to think that just mentioning Hull FC would be enough to have a host of Wayne Bennetts knocking on the door. We are a name in RL but no more so than Wakefield or Fev' or Leigh. The Hull FC brand doesn't have the value or appeal a lot of posters think it does. And stumping up big cash doesn't necessarily buy anything more than a coaching mercenary.
And some of the blame has to lay with us fans. Why would someone leave themselves open to some of the vitriolic bile that's written on these forums ? Criticism does come with the territory of a head coach but some posters need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Customers expecting a return on their investment, how very dare they, we should keep paying £25 a game to watch players whom, in some cases, don't care. As much as I hate to say it, oh to have Horne/Manu and Tickle back, at least they tried. Radford needs to go, otherwise we'll be away at Dewsbury before we know it!

Some folk seem to think that just mentioning Hull FC would be enough to have a host of Wayne Bennetts knocking on the door. We are a name in RL but no more so than Wakefield or Fev' or Leigh. The Hull FC brand doesn't have the value or appeal a lot of posters think it does. And stumping up big cash doesn't necessarily buy anything more than a coaching mercenary.
And some of the blame has to lay with us fans. Why would someone leave themselves open to some of the vitriolic bile that's written on these forums ? Criticism does come with the territory of a head coach but some posters need to take a long hard look at themselves.'"
Your post had some credibility up until you blamed the fans on this forum for deterring would be coaches. What utter codswallop that is. Do you really think this forum even registers on the consciousness of those involved in the game, really?
Wayne Bennett was going to take the job but then read this forum and changed his mind yeah I can see that happening.
All would be coaches would be interested in is salary paid, contract, squad investment/recruitment and club infrastructure. Not what's being said on here by a minority.
But just incase you're right I better go stare in the mirror right now as yes I'm ashamed to say I have questioned Radfords coaching ability.
I'm not suggesting a top class Nrl coach would come here neither is anyone else but look at the make up of SL coaches all have been assistants in their own right and have either come through the successful structures at clubs or proven on merit they've been good enough to step up, neither unfortunately Radford can claim.
If a promising assistant or decent first team coach did express an interest in this club then contracts in sport as we have learnt aren't worth the paper they're written in at times.
