That's because he saw the U23 side we fielded on a par with your team, so I can understand his disappointment.

He got that wrong then there seems to be a lot of debate for such a meaningless match I ended up going just to see what we played like now we have a proper coach and a look at the new signings we'll know more when we play Leeds as will you when you play Salford

Not giddy at all, merely posting what Radford said. Yes we are a Championship side but you have no idea where we will be next year. I hope your previous 9109 posts were rather more considered than this one and not just more trolling trying to make childish points

Out of interest, how many of the players in the last 20 came from our U19's?

Although the average age of the two teams were close, the experience was vastly in Rovers' favour. That raises two questions. Why are players with an average age of 22 so inexperienced compared with a team with an average of 23? Why did Radford believe that a team with so little experience and proven ability at that level believe they were on a par with our team?

LR was referring to the last 15 minutes (when Abdull and Lunt were bound to make a difference).

But it is a well known fact that the last quarter of any match is the time when the superior team presses forward with their advantage. We should know we suffered enough last year. Radford should not have been surprised either. If he fielded his weakest team in the crucial period of the game he got what he should have expected.

I really can't remember the content of my previous posts tbh, bit of a mixed bag I guess. On the subject of posting history it's good to see you back on here, it's been a while hasn't it. What brought you back?

But LR was hoping for a better performance in the last 15 minutes, so he didn't get what he expected.

Hope and expectation are not the same thing. You can live in hope without any expectation. Last season I travelled to our matches always hoping for a win but often without any expectation of a good result. Maybe that's what Radders did on Sunday.

It was a friendly. Bit to much over analysis I think.

Hardly trolling when he's on his own team's forum.

Need you ask Smiggs. The Dobbins came here to gloat about beating an academy side.

Trolling is to send or submit a provocative email or posting with the intention of provoking or inciting an angry response according to the Oxford Dictionary. The type of forum or subject is irrelevant The post obviously had that intent. You obviously did not know the correct meaning of the word. You can take my pointing out your ignorance as trolling if you wish.

When I need your advice on any subject then I will know I'm in trouble. Off you go and discuss Rovers matters on Rovers board.

[list[/list:uStop rising to it. He'll be declaring Graeme Horne a better return on investment than Gareth Ellis next. Oh wait, he already did.

It's a shame he doesn't practice what he preaches, because then he wouldn't be posting on here at all.

He doesn't reserve his trolling for us. Here's what he tried to goad Salford fans with at the end of 2015.

Awkward, that. Gone in 90 seconds and everything.

You may not have noticed but the topic is Friendly v Hull KR. You do not seem able to post on the topic only to offer personal insults in the way of all true trolls.

What a hypocrite. Remember that time you went on a Salford topic about their 6 potential signings to simply goad them about a result and state pity for them? Mind you, two days before your (as it turned out) historic visit to Wembley, you probably had a bit of SL swagger about you. All gone now obviously. Shame that.

Have the details for Rovers civic reception been announced yet?

For me it was just a "practice match" (never a friendly) and if we really wanted to win it we could have by putting a stronger team out. We know that and I think most Rovers fans know that. The team we had out you could see really tried but it was only ever going one way and if by some strange happening we had won, there would have been some strong comments from Rovers fans flying about. We will gauge our team against Salford and them against a full SL team in the middle 8's. It's a long season.

It was just that "practice". I think that it showed that your youth team as a whole is not up to a middle 8s standard team. I don't think anyone would expect them all to be at that level in their development and if they were they would likely be on loan at lower end SL, upper end Championship teams already.

We played what was in front of us, that's all we could do. The comments about over celebration and civic receptions are a bit boring, as they are trotted about by either side in these instances.

In the end we had a contested training session, in which both teams seem to have come through with a bit more match fitness and hopefully unscathed by injury.
