Your kidding your self badly. While its not the most important game, nor something to obsess over, the derby certainly isn't just another 2 points to the vast majority - that's why the crowds are so high.

Its fantastic to win them, gutting to lose them - lets be honest.

Bring on Thursday - Rovers performance yesterday was outstanding - but form means nothing in a derby. May the best team win.

I'm pretty sure it takes a lot out of both teams as well so the following games can be negatively affected as well - particularly for the losing team.

According to man himself ogre is not back till harlequins

No splinters here. We should and I think we will win. All I am saying is if it's a narrow win then so be it.

Of course with you if we do lose it's all about Agar and not the players eh jake!!

It gets better. Fitz's ankle bandaged up.

I wouldn't have done if we'd been beating leeds and sat in 6th place bud but we were beating no one and sat at the bottom.

Think before you type

I know, sometimes I hate being right

Actually, I think it was about agar and HIS players tonight, don't you?

You used the same excuses for Rovers (injury hit/one half) that you dismiss when used for Hull. It's hypocrisy bud, but no ones surprised.

ha ha ha ha you only beat us by cheating at Craven park earlier in the season , thing is rovers have the ability and the confidence to beat anyone at the mo and yep 5 first team players out at the mo so FC bring it on were closin the gap on you and your cr@pping yourselves we will see on Thurs nite who is the best in the city of hull............WON'T WE

Aye he made some errors tonight with his bench. Should have been Burnett for Hall.

What about those players then, did Agar instruct them to miss 23 tackles and kick down the throat of the fullback, not to mention playing with energy and dropping balls.

Agar ultimately takes the blame but any fool can see the players were not to the races tonight, well not 2nd half anyway.

god it was only a couple of weeks ago u was getting smashed by teams dont think any one is crapping themselves either

Bring it on !

You're comparing apples with oranges bud. No hypocricy in what I'm saying. My point is that hull kr are have plenty of injury problem, yet are performing well. When we had injury problems we were (are) clueless. You need to look up the word hypocricy I think as it doesn't fit the context you're trying to make it fit

Hull remind me of a dog who looks like their owner. We are built in the image of the dull, uninteresting and laclustre agar. I doubt he's told them to miss tackles but he sure as hell hasn't got whatever message he has given them over effectively

Fitzgibbon needs to be told not to miss tackles?

No, he told them to miss 30 but they couldnt even follw that game plan properly

I wouldn't have thought so, but it's more the message about what they should be doing that doesn't seem to be getting through

Poor performances are generally either a case of poor preparation or a lack of motivation

Agreed but the message has got through enough times to leave us currently in 4th.

Like I told you a couple of weeks ago, where we are now means jack shiit. It's where we finish that counts so come back in a couple of months and we'll discuss league positions

Well I reckon we will be 5th or 6th and I will be happy with that for progression. The following season I would expect to be competing for the top of the table.

With pretty much the same group of players?

Points difference is always a good indicator of how good a team is to me and ours is miles from where I'd expect a side in 4th to be

With 2/3 additions and the team growing in stature and producing better performances/results. Of course the coach has to improve the team and this is where Agar is possibly found out.

Roll on thursday!!

I'll agree if the team get better and start producing better performances and results we'll be better





Also, can we agree that the pope is, indeed, a catholic and that bears shiit in the woods?
