Or one will move further away when we win depends on if your glass is half full/empty I suppose

Ha!

I've got half a pint left so I am cheered knowing that our current plight seems to anger our worst fans so much. You'd think the Old Faithful Only In Fair Weather crowd would he happy that Radford is failing, but they aren't and that makes me feel a little bit better.

How do you get worst fans?
If they attend the games but choose to voice discontent on here how does that make them not as good as you or legends and icons.
Is your money worth twice as much?
It's pathetic comments like that that the glass half full IAKW apologists churn out that is wrong with our club.
I and many others want the best for our club but it pains me to see the shambles poorly coached side we appear to be but hey as long as we play in black and white and are called Hull fc you knock yourself out.

No, as I said, one will move closer to us if we don't win. It's a factual statement

Makes me feel better that the country is full of people that accept mediocrity. No wonder it's going down the pan

He's the type of guy that could go into a restaurant be presented with a turd on a plate and still be happy because at least he got served.
Not actually unlike attending hull games now

Probably one of the fans who were on their feet clapping and cheering when Talanoa scored his consolation try against Wigan.

Reaching the dizzy heights of 'mediocre' seems like a foolishly optimistic dream, as things stand.

Fwiw I don't except mediocrity but I do believe that Rome wasn't built in a day , 2006 Wigan were nearly relegated and restructured the full DNA of the club and are reaping the benefits and will do so for many more years and that's what we need to do and hopefully that's what Adam Pearson and Lee Radford aim to do . As a city we are a hotbed for rugby league and I'm sure I've read somewhere we have 3teams teams from hulls junior leagues taking part in national cup finals in which have just won one . I think we will see a much smaller squad for the next few season which will make a better path way to first team football for our young lads . Hopefully quality over quantity , we have chopped a lot of cap space already this season and imo I think we could see upto 10 of this seasons squad getting moved on !!

Wigan changed their coach and cheated to escape relegation and then replaced the coach that had saved them with a better one showing no sentiment.

And what is the point of quality players coming through if the coaching isn't there to further enhance their ability. Pointless really.

I don't know what your obsession with Radford is but he is not the messiah you're making him out to be. Our declining performances and crowds are proving this.

Do you want to share tonights lottery numbers?

And I thought I was the one with the time machine!

Ha ha ha Very good.

Obsession ? Really

Ah, but Pearson's attempt at being Romulus began 3 years ago when - after years of us being sold, I mean floated, down the river - he got rid of Remus, I mean Agar, and started his reign in earnest.

Under Gentle steady progress [iwas[/i made, the youth development, their integration into the club & first team, and blooding of these youngsters, the solidification of our defence (Radford?), 6th position twice and progression in the playoffs, the CC final. There were ups and downs in that net progress and Gentle was ultimately let down - in my opinion - by the fact that the mentality of the players to succeed wasn't solidified. Their inability to grasp what Gentle wanted in his complex game plans also caused confusion and frustration in the ranks, I think. Guess he expected an Aussie club culture in Hull. Our lot weren't ready for it nor up to it.

That said, we'd stagnated and Gentle had gone as far as he was going to and a change was inevitable. But to build on those foundations Pearson needed to improve on Gentle, the next coach had to take the baton and accelerate, not turn around and hurtle back to the starting line.

Instead Radford looks to have dropped it. And from such a height that the foundations that [iwere[/i painstakingly laid during those first two years look in danger of cracking.

Rome wasn't built in a day but the fire that nearly destroyed it didn't happen for another 800 years or so after those foundations were laid. Hull FC look like breaking all records with their two-year effort.

What people actually seem to forget is Gentle actually had a half back with a good kicking game . I'll judge our current coach starting from the beginning of next season

Whom Radford replaced with Rankin. His choice.

In his first season?We had Horne ,Seymour and Nicklas none of them had a good kicking game

I like how people said Holdsworth was a bag of crap last year in all but the odd game, and now, when it suits their purpose, he's the reason we finished 6th (though, as paintman says, we didn't have him the year before). Funny, that.

Gentle had an inconsistent half back with a half decent kicking game.

Why do you insist on judging him next season? Miller apart Rankin was Radford's choice.
Where do you get this eternal optimism regarding Radford?

Everyone apart from those wearing their black and white specs see that the team is not performing any where near it should be and I don't think this season or next will make any difference with Radford in charge.

Yes it is convenient for some.

Its only fair to judge Gentle in his first season if Radford supporters want to wait until he gets his own team.Gentle inherited Agars not so inspiring signings and managed 6th place.Radford has inherited an arguably better squad and we'll be lucky if we scrape into the top 8
