He broke the line a couple of times last Friday.

Long to leave #hullfc for return to #StHelens so I hear. I think its utter rubbish. I'll ask him shortly when I call to do his weekly colum
14 minutes ago

James: Is it true Sean?

Sean: Yes it is actually. But i haven't told Agar & Rule yet so if you don't mind hanging fire with that story until i get the all clear that would be great

James: OK. no problem. you can count on me

see daily mail tomorrow

2 year extension agreed

Can you blame him,coming from a winning club to this shambles?

for accuracy and all that

So Longy has moved back to Wigan, 140 mile round trip for training / games, crazy, thats comitment to the cause for you, like i said weeks ago on here, he was unhappy here and wanted out, we should do all we can to offload him asap.

i get the distinct impression that lng isnt training everyday..i could be wrong but thats one hell of a commute 4-5 times a week.......






unless jimmy has given him a fuel card at the fans expense of course

[url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/sport/HULL-FC-m-going-Long-dismisses-Saints-return-talk/article-3360642-detail/article.htmlApparently it's all out fault![/url

External factors are putting pressure on players, poor lambs.

Reading the article Long doesn't actually say that, it's more Smailes' comment.

two words

MAN UP

Wish he would just fook off now...

Massive wages and brings nothing to Hull Fc!!

I can hear the usual suspects getting their pro-Long tambourines out as we speak.

You would think that Longy would want to coach the likes of Lee Williams, Danny Nicko... but i know for a fact he aint putting his time in with the young guns..

Maybe i am making Long a scapegoat but what excatly is he bringing to this club...

I'm going nowhere states the headline, just looking for the quote where he actually says that

As soon as he expressed the desire to move back to Wigan the club should have come to some mutual agreement to terminate his contract, its obvious his heart was never in it, he not attending every training session, what effect does that have on the rest of the squad?.

The full quote...



I don't read that as a whinge or a failure to 'man up', more an admission that he cares about the flak coming from the fans. Would you rather he stated a complete disinterest in what we think? He also states that despite what's going on they need to stay focused. Not sure how that can be considered in any way controversial.

Ill pay him his taxi fare if he does.. Fancy a swap 4 a crocked Dobbo

I'd rather he was concerned that we lost, not that the fact we lost puts pressure on Agar.

It's an article in the HDM. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the questioning focussed on Agar and Long's feelings about that rather than the general performance issues.

More concerning in that piece are the comments about us 'not being far off' and 'nothing major needs changing'.

you are possibly right on the first point

you are bang on with the second

The key part of the article is Long saying he has had no contact from Saints....YET. So he's hardly likely to say he's be interested in going back before they have even called.
