New posters are not welcome now?

Not every new poster is a reincarnation.

jampot has been a round a while, just doesn't post regulalry

Indeed, some are just lying dormant waiting until the time is right for a rallying call or a put down for us who aren't deemed positive enough

Who's paranoid? They're not interested in "getting" me

its a pretty simple question really.and why the agar out mob turn it into some political debate amazes me! but then most of them have had 3 years practice,and maybe a couple more when sharp was here.its a sad reflection on so called fans that a question like this is even asked.....do i want my team to win on friday......YES!!

Maybe a better question would be:

Do you want us to win superleague?

And follow it up with:

What needs to change at the club in order for us to do it?

Or maybe they just don't post a great deal but enjoy reading the boards!

The poll doesn't demonstrate a lack of understanding of "deeper issues" at all in my opinion. There are no "deeper issues" and it's not really that complicated. The poll I assume targets those who would prefer to regularly lose games in order to "show them up" - very few I believe. As I see it ...

1. Some fans want the coach replaced now (one or two of those would prefer the team to lose to facilitate this but most in this category still support the team on the field).

2. Some fans recognise the improvements made last year over previous years and are prepared to see over a number of games whether or not further improvement can be made. If it can't then it's likely the coach has already reached the limit of his ability by finishing 6th last year and losing a CC final in a previous season and it would be good for the club to look elsewhere to make the next step.

3. One or two fans (if that) think they've seen enough already to think the coach is the man to bring glory.

That's the spectrum of opinion and it isn't any more complicated than that. Fans in category 1 are not some mega race of "deep thinkers" they just don't rate the coach and want rid. Fans in category 2 can easily see beyond their nose they just have a different take. The Wakefield debacle saw a good few move from 2 to 1 and more will follow if it's repeated.

What appears to be the latest rumble is fans arguing amongst themselves about their various "rights" to hold differing views and act according to their views. It seems at this stage that it is the Agar out protestors that are the most narked about being shouted down on game day. Some think this is the club's fault for allowing this situation to occur - not really true as people are entirely responsible for their own actions whatever those actions might be. I also read about a certain 'snobbery' of fans who had the audacity to make their views known to the vociferous protestors either at games or fans' forums. This isn't 'snobbery' it's simply a result of the fact that in a body of sports club supporters the majority will not want a negative undercurrent undermining the club/team. That might just apply to game day while the team is playing out on the pitch, or could be as a result of ficticious unfounded rumour-mongering or alike on here. That's not snobbery it's just natural fan behaviour..

Results will dictate the outcome - not deep forward thinkers or Agar protagonists amongst the 18th man. Home form is paramount and the Wakefield shambles has to be a one off. A decent cup run and good home form from here on in will keep everyone interested. Further inconsistency will see pressure mount but at the end of the day results will count above all else. If we get a good draw in the CC and progress the fans will reappear, an early exit will add to the misery. It's a real shame that the coach isn't striving for a contract extension into 2012 as I firmly believe he should be as that would have sharpened things up further. A 2 year extension last year was a dumb move and has not helped at all.

Time will tell.

I am eighty years old, supported H.F.C.over seventy years so I have seen the good times and the bad,.... so just hang in there Iam sure the good times will be back shortly

some of us dont use the forum much as a poster because of the likes of you !!!
any new poster comes on and you bully them, belittle them , and try to rally everyone else to do the same with your silly childish use of your little smileys and such like...

Like Jampot said some of us have lives away from their internet connection , you should try it one day ....rather than your dour sour daily wailing ..

are you sure your a Hull FC fan, because you seem to enjoy belittling fellow fans a little too much for my liking

sorry to the m oderators but someone had to say it

you do get the irony of what you've just posted, right?

feeling the need to speak out against someone clearly bullying a new poster is not bullying itself standee, it is merely pointing out that !!!

this forum is for all FC fans , not just those with critisism .....
sorry if that offends you or anyone else

I don't think you can really accuse anyone of "bullying" in fairness, I agree new posters get a bit of a rough ride, and in a lot of instances it's deserved because the "new" postersb are the same old tired stagers that have either been banned or discredited in some way.

as I said, jampot isn't a new poster anyway

we also have to factor in the fact that what people will write on here and what they'd actually say to someone is very different, likewise people really shouldn't take this place too seriously.

Agree with that wholeheartedly however many including yourself at times fall into that very bracket!
anyway at 67 years old i have much more important things to worry about like "where do i live again" and why do my knees sound like rice crispies in the morning...
no offence meant , not even to Jake the peg, i just hate bullying which made me a bobbie in the first place and then too many years afterwards...

Pointless thread in my opinion, why would you want your team to lose?

Indeed, it's almost an "are you a TRUE fan" and a bit of bear baiting.

is that like bare arsse boxing?

I had you down as more of a former professional of some sort, or maybe a purveyor of frozen dessert items.

YES YES AND YES AGAIN i am not going on Friday night in the hope that Cas turn us over .Is Agar over in above his head?did he place to much of a gamble on Longy ? who knows but I do know that I am not going with the hope of Cas winning .If I wanted Cas to win I would sit with them and wear a Cas shirt

Enjoy reading the tripe on here?

Yeah, cheers for that. I'll take your views on board

Bullying

Busted

i always want my team to win simple as that
