Tony, I do worry about your inability to address the glaring inconsistency in your posts. How on earth can you evaluate Radford as useless yet back him to get us in the 4 with a load of injuries, inadequate young players and mental frailty? It makes no sense. I'm not entirely sure why you think I don't support the club. This year I bought 4 passes, 2 of which I knew would barely be used but wanted to support the club as far as I could. 2 shirts. 3 training shirts. Hull FC Live. Some Christmas gifts. I've also been to about 6 away SL games, both cup ties. I'm pretty vocal when I'm at games, in a positive way. I post upbeat threads on here to the point of being labelled an apologist and accused of being on the club's payroll.

The reality is this. Others are equally, if not more, certain that our league position will not exceed that of last year, yet time and time and time again it's me you target. Why is that? Let me guess..

Equal praise







We have just had the best two years in 30 or so years and I'd say your posts are 90% negative

Well said Mrs. B. I think its fair to say that your supporters club is much bigger than Bumpy's.

So after admitting that he still wants Radford out and that he doesn't think he can take us any further is the Bumpster going to enlighten us with his choice of replacement once he's sacked the current coach?
Surely he's got someone in mind other than just his blind hatred for Radders?
For a poster who stated that Gentle would have won us a treble I'm rather interested in hearing his preferred nomination.
Go for it?

He seems to have forgotten Gentle's last match in charge against Huddersfield. People were walking out before half time.

To be fair most of us would prefer to forget that. A low ebb.

This isn't a penis measuring competition, everyone supports the club in their own way and have the freedom to do that. Posts like this just insight the anger that derails the board into the chaos we mods have to clear up, more and more regularly at the moment.

Seems to be endemic, there’s a chap “ presumably” on The Huddersfield forum who has called Adam Pearson a rat.

They seem rather upset by the whole Connor signing don't they!!

Just a touch, didn't complain much at the time though!

I think you'll find that they did.

I must have missed it then.

Huddersfield were in uproar regarding JC threatening legal battles, compensation awards, and even talk about buying him back off us lol. For once our management are no fools, unlike the past when we were predominantly second rate in the world of retention, acquisition, and finance.

Our team is run at all levels by a super chairman, steadfast successful coach, and a back room staff and structure with Andy Last & Gaz Ellis, we should all be happy.

Jools? Think it's a woman

Very high opinion of themselves, better than everyone else...laughed my head off when they said that our fans are glory fans and don't stick around for every game at magic like Huddersfield fans do.....sat through all 3 games and watched the majority of giants fans get up and leave before our game

didn't know about the legal stuff.

JC seems happy with us, the Huddersfield fans can get a minibus and begger off.

Huds fans don't need a minibus,a tandem with a sidecar will do.

if they need to transport a pork pie & a few cans!

Good win friday, leeds and catalan to cause upsets, and the table will be looking ok , with no one having any games in hand now

Agree Tinkerman, without underestimating Widnes who are desperate for any win, we should be too good at home, We have Wakey breathing down our necks, so apart from Saints who seem to be out of sight, all the top five/six could see a bit of the old leap frogging come Wembley and Old Trafford.

Radford was already in charge and indeed according to quite a few that was weeks before that game, did you forget that already?
Did you forget that Gentle took over a side from Agar that was garbage, did you forget that Gentle got us to a final with a massively injured squad and a bunch of kids with an academy/team that had been underfunded, did you forget that it was Gentle that was blooding youngsters left right and centre, yeah, thought so.

In Agar's last two seasons we finished 6th and 8th (W29 D1 L24 in regular season rounds). Under Gentle we finished 6th and 6th (W28 D4 L22). Hardly a massive improvement.

Gentle got us to a final but it was our worst ever performance in a Cup final.

Certainly wasn't underfunded, Pearson sort a lot of money when he took over, unfortunately Gentle/McRae wasted it on the likes of Miller, Mcdonnell by paying them way over the odds.

Gentle did ok, but his recruitment was appalling and he didn't really care about about youth, hence trying to get rid of Shaul and Lineham, luckily Radford stopped him.

As for blaming Radford for the Hudds play of defeat by saying he was in charge, that's a new low.

I'm not sure about that one.

Squad:

1. Jamie Shaul, 2. Bureta Faraimo, 3. Carlos Tuimavave, 6. Albert Kelly, 8. Scott Taylor, 9. Danny Houghton, 11. Dean Hadley, 12. Mark Minichiello, 14. Jake Connor, 15. Chris Green, 17. Danny Washbrook, 20. Brad Fash, 21. Sika Manu, 23. Mickey Paea, 24. Jack Logan, 27. Jack Downs, 28. Hakim Miloudi, 29. Masimbaashe Matongo, 35. Liam Harris.

Should be strong enough, so long as we don't go in complacent.
