I've been at work all day and to be honest I'm glad I've earnt money rather than wasting it well done to saints total class they are, sounds like we were total poop yet again and Newton had a bad game again, what the hell is going on with the club are the team deliberately playing bad or can they really not be bothered, can't see another win this season.

Well done to ur team today can see it bin a saints v Leeds final to be honest red and White all the way

No, we were not poop, we where as good as we are going to get, Saints where class and a pleasure to watch. We are miles behind so lets stop kidding ourselves. Rovers are not very good and even on a good day we can't live with the likes of the Saints at their nearly best. I know Wigan where good against Warry but can they repeat it against Saints in the semi? Write Saints off at your peril...as the saying goes.

Most of them were, however there were quite a few that aren't welcome at our game. Throwing stuff and kicking off with Police. No thanks.

Most fans have a core of idiots as fans but HULL KR bring the most

is that a proven statistic?

I sit in the north stand quite close to the away end. It was a good turn out and those guys were in fine voice.

Something riled some KR fans who were stacking up at the front to have it out with one of the ground staff who was subsequently surrounded by stewards and police. As he walked off, there were a couple of bottles thrown. Poor show from the minority, but does anyone know what started it?

I saw a young lad who must have been no more than 10 years of age throw a bottle onto the pitch. I was staggered. He was sat with a couple who presumably were his parents. They did nothing about it. I was staggered further.
The group at the front who were been a nuisence were Hull City followers. However, lets not kid ourselves that there was no Robins amongst them because i saw 2 of the wallys who spent time behind bars after the Huddersfield trouble with the group and they are at Rovers matches every week.

"Sky Sports reported that Meli was pelted with a bottle by a female KR fan".

Interesting, wonder if it was the same woman who caused trouble at Leeds, the same woman who's always causing trouble, you know, the one that people came and defended saying "they're just having fun".

I saw one rather scroatish type escorted out for verbally abusing the people sat in the disabled enclosure next to him.

As we say, silly minorities giving good rugby league fans a bad name.

The HKR fans turned out well (around 1500, i reckon) and were in excellent voice though. You always get that with both of the Hull clubs.

Yeas, it was your lot. You see, Rovers fans, despite plenty of practice, still don't know how to lose graciously, so I blame Saints for thrashing our sorry asses.

1st bottle I saw go was 10 mins in after the second try. I was equally appalled by some (and a significant quantity) of our so called "fans". The knob sat immediately behind the sticks front row with his Mrs should be particularly proud of his efforts in drenching the in-goal official with out even throwing his bottle. What an utter !

I'm not trying to be funny here at all, because this kind of thing tarnishes the whole sport IMO and shouldn't be subject to club bias. But how are two 'fans' who have spent time in jail due to causing bother allowed into Craven Park? Surely they would have been issued with lifetime bans?

God knows mate. Their photos were plastered all over the HDM when they were sentenced so it is not as if Rovers security wouldnt know who they are if they bothered to check.

On a lighter note, i took my 2 lads to meet the Saints players pre-match. A very approachable set of players. James Graham is a million miles removed from his on-pitch personna. I think he would stilll be stood there talking now if he hadnt a match to play. I havnt seen my missus since. Think she is still following Jamie Foster around.

Think this is something our whole sport doesn't do well TBH. I'd like to see a crackdown where people who get served with bans are properly excluded from grounds, and co-ordination between clubs to make sure they can't get in to away games as well.

Im glad nobody on here has blamed the ref for our defeat. Again to many mistakes and not quick enough to compete with a red hot Saints on the day. They were a pleasure to watch at times and pretty much man for man, 1 to 17 are in a different league to our players.

For me Thaler had a poor game, 2 of their first 3 trys looked very dodgy to me. The guy seems to have it in for us on every occasion, I would have felt pretty down hearted out on the pitch if those decisions prove to be the wrong ones, which Im assuming the players had far better views of it than us, hence some words been said to the ref.

I also think we must be pretty unfit, Mallinson gets alot of praise, not just from Rovers fans but FC fans to. There is no way our team is as fit as any of the top 5 teams in the league and its costing us big time IMO.

As for the fans causing trouble, bottle throwing is not acceptable, the police looked to be recording the crowd so hopefully individuals can be identified.

No it wasn't, and to be honest you're out of order accusing them, when you obviously didn't attend the game, just because you obviously have a problem with them.

Just because a bunch are known to go to City doesn't automatically make them purely football fans. It quite plausible that they're also Rovers fans too. Same works for Hull as well. These types of supporters will always appear at the odd game here or there, just like they do @ City matches. But it's far easier to get away with unacceptable behaviour @ rugby games.

From my experience from football/rugby games - the police have little interest in rugby half the time. Although having said that, there was that yellow/red card thing a few years ago - anyone know if that worked or is even still active?

I was at the game yesterday and it was clear how far behind the top 4 we are.
Highlight of the game for me was Kris Welhams cover tackle on Meli after he intercepted a pass and ran 90m and looked certain to score,Kris ran across from the other side of the field and tackled him into touch,inches from the line---absolute class.(Similar to what he did to Tom Briscoe in the derby game at CP)
The only incident that I saw yesterday was unfortunatley 1 plastic bottle was thrown onto the pitch,seconds before Welham tackled Meli into touch.
The turnout from the Rovers fans was superb and I never saw any fighting whatsoever.
Who was the old grey haired guy in a suit?He was a St's fan walking in front of the Rovers fans and the police/stewards moved him along,(I was busy watching the game tbh)
After the game Rovers & St's fans were walking out the ground side by side-no trouble whatsoever.

He's a member of the ground staff.

Where's my accusation?

I didn't attend the game, no. Our away support is getting more and more hostile and until something is done I won't be attending.

Wouldnt be stupid Hull City fans having a day out practising for the forthcoming season would it ?

Yeah, that's it.

Does anyone know if these people accused were wearing the rovers shirts
