Quelle surprise a bin dipper posting this topic. There’s a serious shortage of socks over the east side.

Hull FC legend

Definitely an icon. Same number of Challenge Cup wins as Hull KR.

Think he mis typed leg end

Cookie loves to rip in since his drinking buddy isn’t in charge. He makes some astute observations that everyone else has already made. It’s a wonder Doncaster never won the lot.

The Hull KR media mafia are out in full force at the moment.
From Matthew Shaw writing hit pieces (bemoaning how we “only” got 11K against Leigh), to Hull CC councillors basically stating Hull FC have no future (Councillor Webster in an ungrammatical tweet).

Add in Sky Sports fascination with Craven “Streat” and the love in they’ve had with the Dobbins over the last few years.

Cookie has took the Gary Neville route. Can’t actually do it themselves, so they’ll earn a living telling other people where they’re going wrong.

Just hold tight and keep our nerve. Tony Smith will get this right eventually (he’s always wanted the FC job), and we’ll hopefully be in a strong position (long after the Dobbins “power board” is broken up once the social housing has been built).

Indeed, surprised of all the things he could question about us against Leigh the attendance isn't really one of them, maybe he's still trying to find the Huddersfield crowd

Still cant bring myself to read a word Judas writes, turn the channel over too !!!

Inane & Dull at best.

Club saying only 1500 tickets left for the derby (with unreserved seats and segreation due the North stand being shared this time, id guess actual capacity is something like 22k)

Yes many were sold before our most recent nose dive and yes Rovers will be bringing more than when theyve had poor seasons...but its a great figure and shows the fans for now are still backing the club.

The remaining tickets will be snapped up after we beat Warrington on Saturday

Seat map changes back to Green availability in the home blocks

Part of Adams plan make us rubbish get the red and whites to purchase tickets at £31 each as they buy in their thousands, then we beat them

That must be some top quality stuff you're smoking

People need to forget about cookie as a player. He’s an idiot but the reality is he speaks the truth and doesn’t mince his words. Not very eloquent but Very rarely is he wrong about us.

AP had a choice now
Either fire TS or pay off 5 players now who are OOC at end of season

that’s how simple it is for me

Money needs throwing at it big style, problem is Pearsons pleading poverty while turning down any investment offers

Shouldn't even be a choice. Smith has to stay. The players are a disgrace to the shirt.

Yep and its the players to go for me, no question.

Radford, Last and Hodgson have all had a go with these players and the big point scores keep coming. Some of Smith's selections have been baffling but I feel we could have Wayne Bennet in charge and you can't polish a turd, some of them can't run, can't pass and can't tackle!

Something has to happen

Remove 5 of the worst players now - send them home on full pay. That sends a message to the other 15 ooc players

we have to do something

So now we are so desperate a conspiracy theory is introduced. Everyone is against us. Not even a single thought that everyone else might be right. Trump and MAGA come to mind. Your rallying call should be MFCGA.

I like the sound of that. Might get some caps printed.


Can I nominate Tarquin as the wearer of the horned headdress, bursting into AP's office, barometer in hand.

Can I wear the horned head dress, I’ve always had it in me to be a bit of a devil, being angelic is boring at times. I once swore at Cookie when he head butted the Widnes player at KC, I was caught on Sky cameras, apparently.


Oh and I swore at Wembley within hearing of Her Late Majesty at Wembley when Stuart Wright tore down the left to make 12.
