Was reading an article earlier which stated that Grudge favoured a reduction in the number of teams in Super League to 10. I bet he's regretting that statement now.

May aswell be out of SL the way he's running his club, they should be playing championship sides at least the fans would be getting entertained rather then the team getting hammered & not competing.

Haha! ......Give me a break, my black and white gypsy cousins! .......We are terrible right now and have recruited poorly, whereas you have recruited excellently .......Motu Tony is without a doubt your best recruitment and asset by far .......And yes, I am scraping the bottom of the barrel, but that is all I have right now regarding the banter between us! ......Haha!

We are seriously looking at Rovers being relegated, I know that that would give you all a tremendous buzz in the short term, but that would also end the one true derby in rugby league and that feeling of walking into work to face your other work colleagues who are either black and white or red and white after your club has defeated the other .......I'm sure you are loving our present situation, but if we fall your life will be so much worse regarding the banter we have ........And, with that in mind, you sold your history to become the Sharks .......Haha!

And, giddyupoldfella ......I thought you loved me?

Not according to the RFL and the history books it isn't sonny!
Suggest you shut up shop before you embaress yourself further

Ha!

You're right, it is hilarious. However, it can easily turn on its head. It would be a shame to lose the derby games, but if Rovers weren't in SL we could once again have the pick of the crop in and around Hull again, which would only be a good thing for the club. I suppose it depends whether Hull FC have the desire to be a dominant force in Hull, or a dominant force in SL. I know which one I'd rather have, and if that was the case, I wouldn't miss rovers one iota.

This is what gets me with some of the peg sellers at the caravan site, they seem to think that the rivalry is the be all and end all of rugby league. Maybe they should focus on winning some competitions rather than just a couple of individual games. Of course to win competitions you've gotta beat teams like OLDHAM. While I'm at it I might as well throw in: 50-0.

Wouldn't revers be hit harder more losing the derby than we would? We survived when they were scraping around the lower reaches of the 1st and 2nd divisions a few years ago and we'll get on fine again if they go down. No tears from me, well maybe through laughing so much like this weekend

I do love Geoff Tipps, but you're not the real one.

I don't recall it being too much of a ball ache for us when rovers weren't in superleague in the early to mid noughties, I seem to remember we were quite successful

so would a Rovers relegation mean anything to our merged academy?

hopefully we have a get out clause, wouldnt want our youngsters being dragged down to championship standard lol



:

When you stand back and analyse the game its a strange one indeed and hard to understand how Rovers could lose it really. Although they did have one Sub they didn't use at all even when they needed fresh legs but as for Oldham they only had 17 fit men to pick from beforehand anyway. Chisholme was injured in just about the first tackle and they had Grimshaw a half back and Gee a hooker in the centres. In fact they had three more hookers in their line up too. It must have been really hard work losing that game.

IF Rovers were to be relegated, would we be the closet geographically to Catalans? Now that what be a good Magic weekend derby! We could even play them 4 times a year?

Suppose it depends who's promoted, could see any new boys getting catalans for magic though and us being put against Leeds. Reckon they'd see it as drawing the most neutrals who'll stick around to watch it.

I'm not the real one? .....Really? .......Have you seen my upturned nose?

Is that you in the middle of your picture, Giddyupoldfella? ........I think I recognise you from a few nights out on the ale, white stuff and whatever suited our fancy! .......Oh well, I'm forever blowing bubbles! ........Not literally of course ......Haha!

Yes, rivalry is the be all and end all of rugby league and all sport for that matter .......Rivalry is what every fan looks forward too ......If you disagree, then what you are saying is that the fixture of Hull FC v Hull KR is just the same as the fixture of Hull FC v Wakefield ......We all want to win silverware, but this is never guaranteed ......What is guaranteed is the fixture of rivalry .......When your lot was chanting "20 nil up and you f**ked it up" would that have felt as good as it did if you were 20 nil down and came back to win if you were playing someone like Salford say? ......I think not! .....Why not? ......Because you were playing your rivals, numbnuts!

I would love it if the Dobbins were to get demoted. They've been a nasty irritant from day one and their bullish, classless attitude has permeated from the top downwards.
What goes around comes around and if we were to lose that particular distraction, we could get back to concentrating on competing with the big boys.

Ha!

Giddyupoldfella .....Have you seen the mentality of your gypsy brothers? ......Haha! .......They shouted "Radford out" and turned upon their fellow gypsies who ever backed Radford .......They turned upon them and said they were only backing Radford because he was an old school friend .......But yet now that things seem to be going good for your Sharks, they are suddenly silent and the "Radford out" brigade is now no more! ........They even turned on Danny Houghton who is arguably the best Hooker in Super League and should be England's first choice Hooker! ......Your adopted gypsy family is so fickle, Giddyup!

.......................Oldham.

It seems that this Geoff fella is taking a heck of a lot of time out of his life to try to antagonise a few people that he doesn't even know on a message board.

Personally I think he is either a burglar of a vampire cos have you noticed that these posts appear in the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping and might not reply to his idiocy right away?

He could just let it go and get on with eating his hedgehogs... Oldham...

We just think you are petty and pathetic Geoff get over yourself.

Both myself and Jake the Peg had a great laugh at his expense on KR site

I could be wrong, but I think I've worked out who you are. There's only one person I know that refers to us as Gypsy's.

I've left you a private message.
