Hair of the dog dude

No not in front of a court of law.

i think you will find its 26 years in the wilderness,dobbins 26 years without a proper trophy and counting

26 yrs eh! That's from 1984-85 season then. So, just as a matter of interest, how many "Proper" trophies have FC won since 1984-85.

Have you broached the subject with the Wigan fans about the number of overseas players (whatever they are classed as) they had in their title winning squad. Pretty sure it was 7 or 8. Now this is from a club held in the highest regards about their youth development.

Suppose you could take FC as another case in point, it was only 2 years ago they were crowing about what a fantastic youth set up they had I reckon the number of home grown players in the starting line up is now half of what it was with little sign of it improving.

So it's now clear on back of HDM that we have the full backing of Nigel Wood and we are NOT breaking any of they're rules, weve just got a clever board who know which avenues to go down. Hudge has also said he will be here by the end of the month great timing for Cardiff. Plus the rl know that Mason will attract the crowds epsecially against Wigan and Leeds.

And I think [iyou[/i will find that although you are not yet twenty six years old yet, you will spend a considerably longer period of time throughout your life being regarded as a complete and utter raasclart by all of those unfortunate enough to have the mis pleasure of knowing you.

It is obvious you think you,re some kind of wordsmith,but the grammar at the end of your first sentence is infantile. :

Dealing with facts obviously affects your equilibrium,by the way i,m a very popular young man so basically you spout tosh

you mention grammar and don't know the difference between a comma and an apostrophy

i do i just don,t know where they are on the keyboard.I can spell apostrophe though

whoops!

look on your keyboard, might find em, junior troll anyway after a mere 35 posts, jog on silly boy!

i couldn't find the e only the y

Saying jog on =an idiot that thinks it sounds cool

and putting sunglasses on does the same!

Were you born a tool or do you have to practice?

not where i am in the affluent west hull villages,the place where succesful east hullers aspire to live.ie most of dobbins team and squad

Have another count dozyvoz, there's only one sentence.

Your inability to count from one to two marks you out for an Official Pride Of East Hull Certificate Of Gormcloptitude. Well done, and so early in your career.

Oh, and as I'm in a magnanimous mood, I'll give you a little tip. Resorting to grammar attacks as your first parry is a sure fire way to let everybody know that you've got nothing else in your kit bag.

I'll leave it at that, it's becoming a bit flamey and Obergruppenführer Mild Rover will be along shortly to hand out general chastisement.

I'm calling the police as I type, you know the terms of your ASBO.

too many yets,touche though but i get the feeling you are more of a nerdy giles brandeth than a witty stephen fry

Couldn't of summed him up better, bravo.

Who?

Dont entertain our new friend from across the river. I fear his time with us will be brief enough even without encouragent.


R.B.A.

But where is the bloody fun in that?

There's people in N. Korea who get killed for that kind of rhetoric.

because I for one don't believe this has set us back as a sport as you put it, superleague is an exciting league and rugby league in general is one of the best spectacles to go and watch in this country including the championship, in part due to the exciting youngsters that come through the system (and they are still coming through) aided by more advanced or crowd pulling overseas stars.

Now if you're talking about the shambles that is the international game I'd agree with you there but is it down to overseas players? I've been going to watch england/GB since the late 70's for my sins including a trip to Oz for tony smith's world cup debacle and honestly don't think its down to overseas players here, I remember watching the aussie invicibles on a proper tour back in 82 beating every team in the league more or less all of which had less than a handful of overseas players between them, and we haven't won more than 1 game in a series against the aussies in all those years since.

if you want a debate about what we need to do to improve the internatinal game I'll happily start a new thread on the VT, but I suspect you're more interested in sticking to this thread to put the boot in to rovers for doing the same thing as as a number of other clubs
