We have all heard the usual excuses for losing a game (Referee, Player to blame etc..)

What's the funniest one you've heared from a fellow Rovers fan or an opposition fan/Coach?

Mine has to be when some Hull FC fans excuse for losing 6-42 in 2007 was that they let Rovers win to keep Rovers in Superleague.

Also, when Dennis Betts intimated that the cold conditions didn't effect Rovers as much.

Justin Morgan saying the crowd at the KC were too loud for Rovers to hear the calls - think it was the 44-18 game.

I had to chuckle at that one too.

Lee Radford blamed our defeat against Harlequins in Edinburgh on the distance we had to travel.

Yeah but that was true and to this day you lot still don't appreciate it. If i wasn't for us, you'd be history by now.

Which is why we've let you win the odd derby

True and you didn't use your tremendous pulling power to scupper our signing of Ellis. Much appreciated.

sandercock blaming the ref every time rovers lose

That was funny!

That's not true, sometimes he blames the opposition for having a team full of internationals.

I like this thread.
Can I beg that folks play nice.
Pretty please.

Yeah, forgot about that one, much better

Of course there was Peter Sharp's excuse of they warmed up better than us.

I guess you missed the first line of the original post then Jake?

Yep, those 2 ponts really made all the difference in the final analysis:

Turning point mate, gave you the confidence needed to win those vital games, without our generosity, you would have been toast.

Phil Clarke saying that the Kiwis lost because they had used up all their energy doing the haka.

so if what your saying is true and hull let us win doesnt that imply they are desperate for us in super league they need us cheers for admitting that fc gimp

Beating Salford gave us confidence
Beating you guaranteed SL status
Beating Hudds finished the season on a high

Is not having any type of water filtration system in place a good enough excuse for years of under performing?

as apposed to the 6-42 game when you could hear the two remaining FC fans sobbing after 60 minutes

63 mins actually





* Sorry Skywalker, the thread was lost long before this

I did like Peter Sharp's season long excuse that they finished 11th because they didn't play enough friendles, I also quite liked a few Rovers fans explanation of why we didn't get promoted in Morgan's first year, because he only understood 'french rugby.'

Hull finished 2nd and 4th under Peter Sharp or do you mean another peter sharp?

Its not 'us' team. I miss Richies post match interviews I really do.
