Me and my grammer eh still you understood what I said.
Will your lasting memory of Rule be this incident or his preening of himself and everything that was Grade A at Hull FC?
As has been said twice already threads are judged individually and MR deemed Philip to have been a wee bit naughty.
The Steering Group would generate good debate I agree.
Nice you have ideas on how this board might be moderated but of course ultimately that's not in your hands.

At least he made up with David before he died.


We made a million quid under Rule, I think. We owe it all and more to the taxman. So we're bankrupt, humiliated and have cancelled our camp. Rovers will win the derbies by a combined margin of 100+, I think you'll agree.

I think its unfair the way you guys are bullying Mrs B,how do i report it,do i PM a mod ?

And your spelling. It's "grammar".


I don't know really. He certainly didn't preen himself, he looked a right tramp with that beard. I quite liked the fact he bothered to do Airlie Night tbh. At least we could do the BS bingo card and saw it for what it was. Unfulfilled promises, I guess, that seemed to characterise KCFM and its rugby programming.




Good. I like MR a lot, he shows good judgement.




This is [unot[/u the unoffical board, and I claim my £5.




I should blooming hope not. Just pointing out that Kosh posted what I think we previously thought was the party line in relation to threads started on FC's board re Rovers last major cock-up, Willie Mason. Just pointing out the slightly different approaches. Best practice, you might say. As long as we're all clear, we're all clear

Is that how it is being perceived?
Im just asking a couple of questions really and clearing up a couple of moderation issues.

Clear as.
So did you agree with Johnny Whiteley and his views on Gleesongate?

Kosh is a good one, tell him.

I do like you PAC, sympathetic [uand[/u a man of your word. Integrity.

I do hope James Clark who was an integral part of the KCFM coverage and who holds a significant position at Hull FC doesn't take offence to that comment,he was proud of Airlie Night

Not sure what there is there to disagree with:
"To think they did this behind everyone's back is a slur on the club. But people survive hurricanes and earthquakes, so Hull can certainly survive this.

The world doesn't stop because of three silly people.It doesn't do FC any favours, but we are a close-knit community. We have been let down, but it has been nipped in the bud now.

It festered, but it wasn't prevalent. A lot of the lads didn't know this had gone on. There is always going to be bad fruit in the basket, but they have gone now. It will stick for a while, but people will have common sense and get back to reality.

There is a refreshing new start at Hull FC and there is already a vast difference in the approach and attitude in the new regime.

Everything isn't all doom and gloom – the future is very positive."

Apart from the last bit. Clearly with the training camp being cancelled and the consequent loss of the first pre season friendly, we won't get off to a great start, but who can really predict what the season holds? Apart from Mike Smith, obviously.

He [ushould[/u be proud. Anyone who manages to eulogise so extensively about the positives of a team scraping only 7th/8th and failing in the CC [ushould[/u feel like they've achieved something, even if it is mild delusion.

Why do my posts not register?

Try again. Love a bicker thread me. I think Mr Fivebellies is pushing it counting Mason as 4 embarrassments (too many r's or s's there, I fear). A big one, but just a one nonetheless. Only thing better than a bicker thread, and by 'only' I clearly mean one of many hundreds, is a Cooke thread and I see he's still getting a namecheck. 5 years ago in April - doesn't time fly? We'll have to mark it somehow. In fact, I think I have an idea...

Anyway, good clean fun, no precedent I'm afraid Mrs B, but I/we have let references to Cockayne go and those have been nipping my dome for months, so it isn't pain free. He's at ing Wakey now for 's sake. Just saying. It was RBA who locked Philb's thread, btw.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've not even had a drink.

Quality control


I miss him. Hypocrisy was so on-trend in 2007. Good times.




Well, we have a bit. Previously we were working to "Kosh's law", where you posted about another club's issues on their board and implications for the wider game on the VT. The relaxation of the last 2 days, coincidental with a debacle at FC or not, muddies the waters, for sure. I'm sure we can rely on consistency throughout the collective consciousness of the Rovers moderation massive.


There you are, interchangeable, you see.

No bickering MR.
I posted on Page 6 that James Rule was full of BS on the radio and by Page 9 Mrs B agreed.
Good darts game on now so will bid u goodnight

It's it Marfa Manus face or Jamie Sandys tonight?

Never seen wind affected darts before!

Thread "drift" ?

Weren't they just? All luvved up tonight.






That was discussed. But you know how people are always demanding that referees behave consistently and apply the rules with common sense, even though the two are contradictory? This is flexible interpretation. Which is very differrent to hypocrisy.


More seriously, it is being monitored.



Booooo! Good night.

Behind the game as usual. On Thursday:

You need to get your own material.

"I'm going to give it everything to get to Lima... What doesn't kill [you, strengthens you," read his final tweet on his @jmboero account.
and then the lad died RIP.

Just highlights I don't really take much notice of anything you say really unless I can be bothered to read your posts as opposed to you who are like a moth to a lightbulb when I post.
Glad you share my view mind.
Be funny to dig up fawning posts about Rule over the last few years but I've far more interesting things to do and the breeze hold up on the darts has passed.

Quite, your posting frequency on here tonight is testimony to that. Not.



The thing about me is that I admit when I was wrong. I thought Rule did a good job in most areas apart from coaching appointment. Turns out that was completely wrong. You win some, you lose some, but have a bit of dignity in admitting it, for heaven's sake, otherwise you just look like a club apologist scared of critiquing anything your club does, even if they're the height of average. No credibility in that whatsoever.

Relieved that I was not Neil Hudgell's typist on an interactive web chat in November 2009 who documented that there may be news on the East Stand in the next 2 weeks and that the full benefits of Club Rovers would soon emerge and be understood fully. Oops. Whatever happened to those naive dreams?

Read back you will see it is always you who initially responds to anything I post.

Which part of [uwhen I can be bothered [/udid you fail to understand?
Didn't think it was that difficult a statement to take in.
It's 2012 now, referring to information I posted on this forum in 2009 for Rovers fans to discuss regarding their club makes you appear kind of obsessed with anything I post and confirms my view.
Your amateur mind games will not result in this thread being locked just because the topic evolved onto the disgraceful antics behind the scences at Hull FC.
Putting a

after something you have posted doesn't make it funny to anybody other then yourself by the way.

If you have a response to any of the above points send them to me directly via PM.
That way the posters can debate the thread and not have to read through your opinion on issues not connected to the thread such as posts i made in 2009.
If you wish to discuss Gleeson,Rule,Cooper and the bans or behaviours preceeding the bans you are welcome to do so on this thread

=#FF0000For clarification.

The thread was started by a leading question in which a couple of Hull FC fans correctly pinpointed that the lack of posters on this forum was due to Rovers supporters taking an interest in what was breaking news involving Gleeson,Rule and Cooper.
There are several threads across RL Fans on various boards discussing the matter.
In fact of the other 13 SL clubs forums it only fails to have a thread on 3 of them Catalans,London and Widnes.
This is the one for fans to use on the Rovers forum if they wish to discuss it.
This shows a consistant moderation approach with our colleagues from other clubs.

Got to say G.M.L. and Mrs B,the way you go at each other you are like an old married couple.

Questions regards moderation can be directed via PM.
Thanks.

He never asked a question
