What a service you provide for us Rovers fans ... and almost daily too

Aye. I heard the Rugby League Express were going to run the "rumour" as headline news for this Monday, but then I heard a "rumour" that the editor of Rugby League Weekly said he'd heard of the "rumour" first and said he wouldn't send any xmas cards to staff at RL Express so they both called a truce and agreed neither of them should run the story and perhaps spend their time reporting about what's going on in the play-offs.

Then I heard a "rumour" Fox sports in Aus claimed they'd heard of the "rumour" and they where going to run the story but decided instead to spend their time and energy reporting their play-off series instead - gutted I am



Even though the "rumour" was on the verge of being the important "rumour" in the history of world Rugby League (rumour has it anyway), I'm afraid I have to own up and admit that it is a total lie as a result of the bitterness harboured by the leech and parasite that is Mrs Barista.

Sorry, cockle, thought you were the same poster as Richie Robin. My mistake. Or is it?

This is [uexactly[/u how Mrs Barista operates.

Due the fact she's been owned by me (more times than I care to "bookmark" ***s***), she'll post something which in most cases is an manipulation of words to engineer a quote out of it's original context, or in this case, a complete and total lie, so that it gets quoted on, commented on, viewed by most people like yourself who take the quote at face value with considering whether her claims are of any substance etc. etc. and so in this instance, having to defend myself.

I'm awaiting to see who our next coach is and players before (and all other squads for that matter) before I'd even gauge an opinion on next season.

As for Mrs Barista, we'll quote each other until the thread gets locked (by which time everyone has identified her as the leech and parasite that she is), then she'll be frothing at the mouth, harbouring her bitterness for a good while until she eventually tries it on again - she just never learns.

Alternatively the MODs can avoid this sequence of events happening again by simply banning her from this Hull KR board for good then I can post about matters concerning Rovers, instead of having to deal with unprovoked attempts to create an artificial perception of what I actually contribute to this board.

Happy days!!!

You are correct I do post as Richie Robin but never once have I stated a "few astute signings would get us to top two".

You really are a degenerate...

I really don't want her banning, it's dull enough on here, particularly in the off season. Rather than throwing her off the forum, why not try playing her at her own game and not simply resorting to insults?

Just a thought.

She hit a nerve again, eh, Zoddy?

Must be getting mixed up with a different Richie Robin, then, because he said, in the last fortnight, "With some astute signings this squad could easily win 4/5 even 6 more games than this year and that would mean challenging for the top 2 and challenging for the top 2 means challenging to win trophies and that's what it's all about". Easy comment to misinterpret tbf.

Look, the irony here is that I've posted more than anyone about Rovers next coach announcement, so stop trying to derail or you'll be in trouble. I will not resort to your name-calling but simply attempt to get the thread back on track without recriminations. Honestly, you're a scamp too.





Latest info is that Moore is the frontrunner with another unnamed candidate as the alternative. Not much to choose between them, but clearly Moore already has head coach experience. I'd go for Kurt Wrigley, I think.

Is that what you say to your wife?

Moore's a bit cheesed off his appointement isn't in place as his number one target has signed for another club.

Cuthbertson?

Well here you have it; the word "should" (which you've engineered) has a completely different connotation of context to the words "could" and then "would".

So thanks for confirming my original point for me that you engineer quotes out of their intended context...

Next.

Good one.

It was just that initial post until I get into the "owning Mrs Barista mode" but I'm there now so it's fine...

It would be a laugh but I don't have the time or energy to amass and manage a vast quantity of quotes on her and every poster on the FC board cos I have a life.

Oh go on then...

Mrs Barista said Hull FC have a "robust business model" - it's not what the tax man thinks...

Look, Hudgell has said the money's there for the new coach to spend and you clearly rate Moore, ergo the astute signings are a given. Whether it's coulda/woulda/shoulda, you're the one making the connections to top 2, not me. Good times.







Would you prefer Moore or Wrigley. Doesn't sound like the HDM have the exclusive tomorrow anyway; their KR story is Taulapapa's 2nd crack at the big time.

Ah I know what you mean, like I have "connections" to the Sultan of Bruni because we both like Chicken Tikka Massala.


The board have gone through a thorough process so I trust they'll get it right whoever it is.

I'll look forward to the Taulapapa exclusive.

Have you ever thought about getting a life?.............no?...........thought not

You're being a bit silly now. You said that the current squad + some astute signings could win more games which would mean challenging for Top 2. I'd say that's the definition of making "connections".

In terms of the (off-topic) "robust" business model at FC, I don't think it's fair to mock 6 years of profitability which was based taxation arrangements that, up to April 2011 were within the law and widely adopted across many clubs and sports, but have now been ruled retrospectively as attracting a tax liability. I'm sure your confidence that it's nothing to worry about from Rovers perspective is well-founded. Believe me, I'm grateful for Pearson's acquisition of FC and swift steps to resolve the tax issue. Otherwise it would have been a reasonable expectation that FC would have gone to the wall.

hull fc go to the wall, never. just merge with somebody, pretend nothing happened and call yourself hull fc est. 1865

If Sandercock is appointed are you going to admit you made that up

What bit?

Ask your mate who was at the top of Moore's wanted list if he got the job.

So Moore was cheesed off- your words because he couldn't sign a player for a job he wasn't offered

Should we not be asking who was at the top of Rovers list for a coach?

Go on then, who was it?
