You all need to stop picking on poor Mike Smith, he's not very good at typing and he's still replying to my email from June, he replied to my initial one and said he would get back to me but he can only do one letter at a time the poor lamb.

Who exactly are "you lot"?

Muppets from coal villages.

To be fair to Mrs B I understand she once qualified to take part in 'Mastermind'.

Unfortunately it all went wrong when she nominated her specialist subject as ' Hull FC's Wembley Triumphs'.

One step away from Gateshull, I see. A rather weak effort on your part to divert attention from the gormpclopitude of Mike Smith pretending he never signed Misi Taulapapa. Why, if it weren't for the tweets of @autodox, we'd have had no updates of relevance in the months since the original announcement.

In terms of the Mastermind point, I'm thinking I might do Groundhog Day. You know, Paul Lakin, Neil Hudgell, Paul Blanchard, James Elston, Neil Pease, Andy Mowbray, Mike Smith and their continual loop of declaration that the ground developments are imminent. A rich seam indeed, but easier to remember due to frequency of recent repetition than Rovers major trophy wins. When was the last one again - 25 years ago? I reckon Taulapapa might have been the catalyst for achieving one, but I guess we won't know now. Or will we? Not clear whether he's still at Rovers or not. I'm sure Mike will get round to it when he's responded to Sandra.

If you took the time to do a little research you would find he has signed a two yer deal with Sheffield and is back in training with a nice wedge for his troubles or do you not read your local rag

, there is no point in Rovers making a statement seen as though all you humbugs have advertised it here there and everywhere.

Unsurprisingly its only 1 person who seems to be bothered by this.
As soon as a compensation deal has been signed then a statement will be issued.
It's as simple as that.

Counting not your strong point, then?

Well, that's not true, is it? Old_Faithful_IAKW for one. SirStan thinks it's rubbish, that's 2. tigerj is curious too, so that makes 3. Mild Rover think's it's both odd, and plop, so 4. Saddened! makes 5. knocker norton is concerned too, 6.

Let's say around 1% of RL fans post on here. That's actually 600 real people who think this is substandard. I know you feel compelled to defend everything Rovers do, but the reality here is that if FC had done this, there would have been equal fun-poking in the other direction. The difference being that FC fans would have also slated FC for a lack of courtesy and professionalism for not being on the front foot with keeping the fans informed. Bit of detatched critique is more grown-up than a knee-jerk defence mechanism of blatant plopitude, I think you'll find







Interesting. Good old Misi. Hope he's kicking up an appropriate fuss for being ****ed over. Oh, Misi as well, that's 7.

Some people need to get a life rather then worry about about trivial issues then.

Some people need to read the thread before singling out one from many expressing the same sentiment. Besides, you can't believe it's trivial to Misi Taulapapa, can you? Unless you are Mike Smith, in which case I claim my £5.

I'm sure Misi has a quality in his character that you clearly don't.
The ability to move on.
Claim whatever you want,my opinion of you wont change in the slightest.

Coach Mark Aston said, 'Misi's a quality player. It's been a very traumatic time for him...'

Shabby, this treatment. And far from trivial.

Well I think what Gary Speeds family are going through today is traumatic not getting a golden handshake but each to their own I suppose

And that is appalling. Using the very real tragedy of one family as a comparison.

That is a seperate and completely different discussion. Shame on you.

Simply putting the Misi subject into context so don't spout ridiculous accusations idiot.
Misi has been inconvenienced not traumatized

.

Absolutely. Firstly defending the indefensible because it's Hull KR, then trying to bring in a very personal and profound tragedy as some sort of benchmark for an incomparable issue. Base.

You think I'm the idiot here? Unbelieveable.

Total rubbish.
Had this been any other club barring Rovers you would not be on their forum with your mock indignation.
My compassion is for Gary Speeds family not a rugby player who has resigned for Sheffield and received a lump sum for his troubles.
If you read things into that which are not there then sorry that says more about you than me

I will retract the idiot comment and apologize for it.
You do not know me hence your mis interpretation of what I posted.

This isn't about cross-river point scoring, and I'm sure Taulapapa will be well compensated for his mid-season diversion, so I'm not too fussed about that. I'm far more concerned that the club (and MS in particular) bang the drum loudly at times (i.e. when he signed, or the infamous "shovel in hand" pic when announing the East Stand extension), but when it's not all gravy, they say absolutely nothing. It's not what I expect of a professionally run sports club, but then, the club I love appear to be run by wits at times.

Think that was a pretty low attempt at diverting a thread. I personally aren't bothered whether the club make a statement or not, Misi will no doubt get over it and have a wedge for his trouble. But using the recent tragedy of Gary Speed is ridiculous. Working on that principle you might as well close everythread as it all pales in to insignificance in comparison. Think some people need to think before they post.

Well as what you think is incorrect I could suggest you apply your own logic.
However what I will suggest is that I offered perspective,that is all.

In the event of Rovers making an announcement i will re-open the thread but i dont like the way it is heading currently so..
