All I can say is attitudes towards a Derby game must of changed a lot since I left hull. Sorry but the its just another 2pts does not wash with me! Let's be honest here when the fixtures are released which is the 1st game you look for???? Point made....

not the best smiley to use at the present moment mate.

Although we all always want to beat Rovers its not the be all and end all for some of us. If we want to be a consistent top 4 team, challenging for trophies, we should be more concerned about beating Leeds, Wigan, Saints etc., not worrying about what the Dobbins are doing.

Just because they obssess about us does not mean we have to obssess about them.

I reckon the large amount of those people who say "its just another game" probably don't live in Hull or ever have done.

Even though on paper the rewards are just the same the whole meaning of the game is different...hence why its the only fixture that can attract over 20,000 to the KC on a constant basis...hence why its the only fixture to recieve a five figure crowd for a friendley.

Losing is the unthinkabnle because you know where ever you go in Hull they will be talk of the game, no matter where you turn its everywhere...you go to work there is opposite fans winding you up, you go down the street they is opposite fans winding you up, you go to the pub they is opposite fans winding you up.

If people just see this as another game they are not only selling the occasion short to themselves but probably aint effected by the result in the long term!

After the first half of Rovers v Leeds, I'm thinking of not going. Talk about hitting some form at the right time. Their front row on that form will muller us if we're missing O'Meley and Moa.

Must admit I'm pretty happy that I'll be in San Francisco for the derby.

Just a bit , we do need one of them playing . I wonder whether to start lauaki something bit different might get the crowd going aswell

Rovers very impressive first half. Thought Mcguire's disallowed effort was a try, but 18-0 a fair reflection. Fearing the worst next week already.

Same here.

I'd like to know who Paul the octopus predicts as the winner.

Is omeley definetly out for the derby?

feck

Its a derby...form means nothing....bring 'em on

am i the only one having flashbacks here, could swear the same posts were made before good friday in april, and look what happened............................................................

Hope I am wrong but I can't really see us causing them to many problem on Thursday their front row was immense last night..

not bothered about the dobbins they only team FC fans shud care about is our own, cant see the game being anything like the one on sky last nite.
It will be a tight affair with plenty off niggle, maybe some biff and a narrow FC win.

COME ON U 'ULL

too rite, it promises to be another, er drab, affair

Thought Rovers were value for their win but in all honesty how poor was Leeds and how many gilt edged chances did they bomb Hall twice and Bailey all only had to fall over the line to score. Hopefully we wont be as wasteful

And how many forward passes did they throw and get pulled for ('FORWAAARD').
Plus knock ons and penalties a plenty. Rovers played well but like you say, Leeds where pap.

cmon lets be honest that was one of the worst leeds performances iv seen in a long time and the dobbins were made to look good..

We need a good start set the tempo a bit like rovers did against leeds , was thinking when was the last time we got the 1st try in a derby match

We need cusack, radford and dowes to tear them to shreds









Still, no excuses on Thursday. We're likely to have a near fully fit squad to choose from apart from ogre and long, whereas the dobbins have plenty of injuries and binned one of their half backs months ago

If agar can't get them up for this one he never will be able to

Yes they do ! Cant wait to se the Tongan Mafia !

EDIT

It's almost the same post every week, you keep tyring to set Agar up for a fall.

No, he sets himself up for the fall being inadequate. Which part of my post is incorrect? Are we not near full strength? Have rovers not got injury problems and only 1 half back? Is motivation not a key part of winning such games?

Think before you type
