My agenda is to support Hull FC, that's all. It suits yours of course to call me happy clappy, but this week already I've posted in bad mood from Wakefield, said that our three bench props haven't been good, that we need to sort our internet ticketing or lack thereof. Happy Clappy would be exemplified by getting into double figures eulogising about aspects of the derby friendly performance, then getting smashed up by Warrington and suddenly reporting you're not going to comment on performances for the first few rounds. My posting style reflects my outrageously positive attitude to life and my enjoyment of many aspects of supporting Hull FC. If that irks you, add me to your foes.

I'm unsure quite what you bring to the party tbh. You're by definition a troll - a self-confessed Hull KR fan the majority of whose posts are on here. Negativity may be "subjective" but it's fair to say they're not positive or neutral. Trolling is fine. We welcome the likes of SirStan for example, who brings some acidity, humour and banter. RBA with his borderline-lunatic evangelism for the academy. Easty for his fairweather sojourns and instant hibernation when results are unkind. Sadly your brief history shows little grounds for optimism. Formulaic stirring about Radford for example when there are plenty of Hull FC fans who make the same points with far greater eloquence and relevance than you appear capable of. Neither wit nor insight nor fun, just a technique as tired as the "timely boost" and as stale as two week old smoke from Ryan Bailey's cigars. My advice would be to mix it up a bit. A little self-deprecation perhaps (Rovers fans are supremely awful at this, truly abysmal). Content that's not simply taking today's HDM article and being cranky about it (use the comments section there). Or maybe just taking a magic wand to your sack of impotent "jibes" and transforming them into something interesting, humourous, diverse, constructive or Rovers-related on the Rovers board. Ideally the latter, numbers are down, remember.

As for Radford and Pearson, I'd expect the chairman to have a say about friendlies. It's hardly been the perfect pre season but maybe between them they agree on the plan for 2016 and it's AP who's had the interview. I'm uncertain where the concrete evidence is that confirms otherwise.

Any update on your Micky Paea to Wigan rumour?

I don't have 'an argument for Radford's actions'. I'm not party to what goes on inside the club - who is fit and who isn't, or what it is we're trying to achieve in the friendlies. I'm no fan whatsoever of friendlies and Pearson's comments about having only one gets my vote, albeit I won't attend a derby friendly any time.

Your constant criticism about Radford is painfully boring. If we're struggling after 10 'real' games I'd hope Radford is shown the door. If we're doing well I'd hope you'd be on here congratulating the coach and the team.

How do you know Radford keeps making the same mistakes as last year, when we haven't played even played a competitive game yet. Let's judge him when we have played a couple games at least.

I'll reply on next years thread

Just a quick question. Why do you feel the need to insult people who have a different opinion to you?

He's mired himself that deep with his anti-Radford stance that he's now got no other alternative.
He does have to occasionally drop in the, 'I'd be really be happy to be proved wrong' just to cover his own poisonous @rse.

Its all this board is about

IF you had bothered to read the thread, the poster I referred to called me intellectually deficient, I was just repeating back exactly what they did..Obviously the mods weren't interested in telling the poster not to use insulting comments so I threw it back in exactly the same fashion using the same words..HTH

And if you bother to check I wasn't the one throwing the mud first, I repeated exactly what I was called...

So I have an opinion that doesn't match a large proportion of others on here..so what? Does that give another poster the right to start calling me mentally/intellectually defficient?
I gave my reasoning as to why Radford has got it wrong, and it is exactly the same pattern as last year so far..selection mistakes and not gauging what to do when..AND why.
But you and others are just happy to put other posters down for having an opinion, it seems he (radford) can't do anything wrong, it's why we are more worried about relegation than how close we can push the top 4! But if you're happy with scraping into the 8 fine, I'm not, and under Radford that isn't going to change anytime soon.

But crack on with your bile cos I aint going away. Yes I'm happy when we win, but that hasn't being the case very often in 2014 with some shocking shocking performances. I'm less happy because I know Radford isn't the man to bring us silverware..or even close to being a top 4-6 side, he hasn't the skillset to bring us on. He hasn't the man management skills and nor does he have even remotely enough experience to deal with the situations that left him scratching his head all of last season.
Just because we have an improving squad and some sensational youngsters coming through doesn't mean things will get better enough to warrant him staying, IMO it doesn't.
As for poisonous, that's just laughable, so an opinion different to yours makes it thus? Right

More's the pity.

If you read my post I offered another alternative - that you were a KR troll. Bearing in mind the fact that you criticise and undermine Hull FC constantly and never have anything positive to say about the club then the troll alternative is the stronger option.

Well, at least now we can see what you're talking out of.

Christ can you give a rest,let's see how we get on when the season starts and how the hell do you know Radford hasn't learnt from last seasons mistakes,people can learn and improve you know or does that pass you by.Yes,the friendlys could have been used to better affect but how has every other teams pre season gone? Maybe Radford isn't the man to take us forward and I called for his head last season but at the end,we was showing good form and realising what could happen,he has addressed the half back problem and we have options there for the 1st time in God knows how long.If we get a bad start then AP may act but a good start and who will be botherd

You called me not sufficiently intellectual enough, given the very basic concept that we are talking about you were trying to belittle me by suggesting I am not capable mentally of understanding/grasping basic concepts..from that you called me out as being a Rovers troll on the back of such.
I responded in kind and other posters seem not to have grasped your dig at me so I've set them straight as to who started the childish belittling/name calling..which was you.
You couldn't even support any arguement you had against what I said so resorted to your tactics (which is against the AUP) by suggesting posters are not intelletually advanced enough to understand stuff that a child could fathom..
so don't be making out you're the innocent party when you started calling people 'thick' in essence.

Seems that you call everyone a HKR troll who dares to repeat any criticism of Radford or the club.
My negative views of Radford remain the same but I said I would wait until we have seen the first six games of the new season before commenting further on him.
if others want to criticise Radford or some aspects of the club then that is what forums are all about.
you are just as boring as anyone on here with your constant replys to posts implying that they are a HKR troll.

Not at all - just those who come on and criticise but never give any credit. Even if you're not a troll you act like one. No difference really.

The key word is UNLESS. It implies an either/or situation. I'm over the moon that it's ed you off though.

Totally agree. It's why i never go.

Wigan lost to Leigh, Saints and Workington pre season. But the got past London Skolars

Well we'll see, I suppose. Petty sure you've been warned about over excited rants.

You're like the girl who cried wolf Bumpy.
Droning on about posters challenging your mental capacity (not me by the way) whilst you gratuitously slag off our head coach for having no [ibraincells[/i.
I'm sure you've mentioned his intellect on more than one occasion if I could be @rsed to trawl through for them so don't give us this little girl offended when you get some grief off others.

Leeds youngsters weren't pointless against Donny. Won 42-14. No mention of Michaels in the report or BTW come to that. Cookie played although I don't know whether the Donny team was "better or worse" than the one fielded against us , it looked similar with the addition of Cooke and our two. Looks ominous as far as Leeds is concerned.
