By contrast, there has been a steady stream of posts on your forum from people who like to pretend the last four years didn't happen, and that Agar is really a splendid coach. He had infinitely more to work with at Hull than he'll ever have at Wakey, and he achieved absolutely nothing. Unless you count setting us back several years as an achievement.

I actually went on your board just after he was appointed to express solidarity with your fans for the fact that, after all you endured last season, the owners still saw fit to land you with Agar as a head coach. I wasn't gloating, or laughing at anyone - quite the reverse - yet from the reactions of some posters, you'd have thought I'd just told them I'd humped their grannies.

Yep, given that the majority of us didn't want him, there was certainly a degree of touchiness. Having said that, he's who we've got so we have to rally behind him, at least until he proves there is a reason not to; the alternative is to pack up and go home and that's not really an option for most fans.

but my my you do spend a lot of time on here trying to reinforce your stance though dont you

No.

It's not your cleverness at using Del's "cosmopolitan" word that's funny, more that your pedantry is comparable more to a whole Heinz factory, rather than a crouton.

Again in English please?

Worminhand + English language = World of pain.

Tell her you put your glasses on to read a dessert menu, then you'll see. Also avoid 'mirror'.

My resolution for 2012 is to only converse with her in polari. 'Ogle fakes' and 'dup'.

It's poster opinion that R Agar had the resources at Hull But he never put them to good use and his style of play was questionable ..Put that down to having his hands tied . ''If he get a free hand at Wakefield who know what type of coach he will be ..In the 4 years at Hull we never kick on ..all the time we never had a halfback with quality after P Cooke when..Hope that explain better

I know what you mean. I felt a bit queasy writing "crouton". I've always endorsed slang and regional dialects, though, including polari (something you'd know a bit about? (Are you making a tenuous pun on words with the polish sausage I was on about?)), so don't make me out to be precious.



As for bren2k asking for an explanation - I thought stupidity was something you despised, bren? Or perhaps it's just that your ego's getting in the way of clarity?

No - it's the fact that both of the posts you've made in my general direction have been incomprehensible bollox.

HTH.

you're a poor troll and unwelcome here, so f'k off and annoy someone else.

is THAT simple enough? (admittedly it's not quite as simple as you, but I refuse to stoop so low, arguing with idiots is seldom wise, they drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience)

Why so aggressive - are you a cyber-bully?

I like that quote about idiots by the way - you should get some kind of copyright on that, before everyone else starts using it.

{Sigh}. All right then, I'll spell it out. In your (pedantic) style:

Yousaid:

Kosh said:

You said: indicating that you were pretty smug with your clever choice of the word 'soupcon' (no I can't put the accent on, I'm not as clever as you), and acknowledging that Kosh thinks you're equally clever with your amusing word selection.


I was not sure that that was not what Kosh meant as I interpreted his comment as indicating his surprise that you considered yourself a poster demonstrating only a small amount of pedantry, when, in fact, you display it rather often. (Sorry, Kosh, if it is me that has misinterpreted.)

'Soupcon' is a word made famous by the irrepressible Del Boy, along with such "cosmopolitan" sayings as 'mais oui, mais oui' 'lovely jubbly' and 'plonker'.

So, to encompass the above, I said this:...Which you didn't get, obviously.

The Heinz factory was a simile for the actual rather large extent of your pedantry, the crouton a simile for your own assessment of it's smallness. Soupcon=little, crouton=little. Both the Heinz and crouton analogies were puns on the trunk of your chosen cosmopolitan word - soup.

You stoopid, or something?



Oh, and there's no need to get nasty, you big cyber bully.

nope, not a bully, just fed up of idiots like you trolling RLFans and generally dragging it down, why not post on your own forum, or does even vastman find you tiresome?

That was an interesting journey around the English language.

I got a bit confused at the Heinz/soup/crouton section; I can see what you were trying to do but in all honesty, I think you took a wrong turn down a comedy cul-de-sac. I'm also slightly baffled by the whole "Del Boy" thing, as I've never watched an episode of the programme in question.

Other than that, thank you for the explanation.

p.s I didn't put the squiggle under the c to look clever - the iPad did it automatically. Maybe I've inadvertenly got the preferences set to 'smart-' mode?

you are the worst one for it, even people on this board can't stand you and your constant whinging and whining

Clearly!

Only a few weeks until the rugby starts.

Thankfully.

OK own up.

Who said "village idiot" three times?

True to form, he's turned up again

Got Rovers friendly tickets today!

Passed Richard Whiting looking extremely fit going onto the Hull shop. Lovely, happy smile, that lad's got!

Quite

I've [ithought[/i it a few times in the last half hour or so.

Nowt to do with Philip, on this occasion, though.

Sorry. My involuntary powers of summons of the mighty Philip must've intensified after massaging my two crowns whilst washing my hair earlier.

Cheers, I also had rule and hetherington worked out. Anyone who has met them will have come to the same conclusion

Kaff speaks out in the paper tommorow !!
