Did you not read the paper earlier in the week...Ben Galea, now that is a moaning school boy stuff...he should have been sinned binned blah de blah...

At least our coach has supporters...

[size=30squabble thread, squabble thread, squabble thread![/size

To be fair ive been in Newcastle since Monday so all i've heard is how the TOON will be winning the Premier League next year!

I will try look at Galea's comments though!

I think silverwood was making up for his forward pass mistake in the prvious derby

Wow I never knew there was a city crazier than ours

I am Agars fan

No he's done exactly right.

He's put the referees under pressure to treat him right.

He admits that Lauaki has disapline problems and has to work on them to become a asset, but on the 'tackles' and hkr tactics he got it right.

Newton all but confirms this.

Really?

I'd forgotten about that, I could have done with a load of Wire fans whining on about it for the last three years to remind me.

He probably has. Professional sport isn't some sort of gentlemans duel, regulated by honour and a second with a rather spiffing quiff. Anything to get an advantage, if Agar's managed to put a seed of doubt into Cummings and therefore the rest of them's minds about Lauiki, then well done.

As an aside, I really did think Extreme Lauiki Baiting was a brilliant new pantomime sport on Good Friday, fantastically aided by both sets of fans. For next year, maybe we could have some sort of Hull version of Pamplona's Running of the Bulls. We could keep Lauiki in a darkened dungeon in that old gateway (Beverley Gate?) at the top of Whitefriargate from Palm Sunday, feeding him only on raw meat and 20/20, then release him to the strains of Red Red Robin at which point he could chase and try to "gore" Rovers fans in their shirts right the way down into the Old Town.

I disagree with that, the refs won't use his comments as a reason to treat him differently. If anything they will look more closely at his actions in giving penalties away. They way you are looking at it Agar has criticised the refs for not looking after the player and criticising the refs doesn’t mean that they will change their opinion.

Perhaps Rich feels a little under pressure... for what its worth both Rovers and FC might be on the back-end of two defeats in the next two games!

I'm expecting to lose the next 2 although i'd be delighted if we could win the cup game

Why? surely you should be expecting to win every game you play?

I've learnt over the years to expect the worst....If it doesn't happen I'm happy ... if it does ah well i was expecting it anyway

Your glass is always half empty.....and from your Good Friday performance your glass is half empty and left on the table as you drop the shoulder and head home

It will also put the refs under greater scrutiny from the media for how they handle Lauaki in the future.

There was no backlash from the refs against Rovers after Morgan's outspoken criticism of Thaler last year was there?

There will be another new sport in the next derby at the KC. Newton Hunting. If our players can find him of course.......

No there wasn't and thats the point, Morgan was hoping that his comments would make the refs look at the laying on and slowing down tactics used by Hudds, but it didnt. And I don't think the refs are really put under any scrutiny at all by the Rugby media. Lauaki came in for a bit of treatement by an opposing side, its not the first time its happened to a player and it won't be the last.

You lot said that after the Horne friendly, still waiting...

One of the finest dropping of shoulders you will ever see.

You won't be able to miss him as I can guarrantee he will head directly for Chav corner when he comes out for the warm up. The more you hate him, the more he will love it.

Oh my I had forgotten the art of imagination..quality

I can not believe the rubbish of fc supporters on here get a life or go on your site not ours

Oh guess who spoilt the thread!!
