Congratulations on winning the shield , well deserved and hopefully see you at old Trafford in 2 weeks .(fc fan)

Yes, congratulations on winning the LLS at the KC again. Better team won. Much faster and more creative even without your half backs.

I'd like to say we'll hopefully see you at Old Trafford but I can't see us beating Wigan. If we don't I'll be rooting for Warrington. You'll beat Saints.

Congratulations Wire

Well done, too good for us tonight, think our season finished at Wembley, if we don't win the GF, then I hope you do.

What players Clarke and Hill are.

Hopefully see you again in the final

well done wires

Nice of a few Hull fans to come on here and say congrats, but must say was very disappointed with their fans tonight. I stayed to watch the cup presentation and clap them off at Wembley and plenty of other Wire fans did; there must have been half a dozen stayed to watch us get our dues tonight. Compare that to Huddersfield when they got whipped by us when we got the LLS in 2011: they'd even made us a banner

Poor show I thought.

No NtW there was many that stayed late and clapped both teams and there was a section that stayed to clap the shield lift too, athe least 10 mins or more after the game end. Which was more than I did at Wembley. (Shamed)

I generally gloss over the drivel you post, but go on, I'll bite. True some Hull fans stayed after the hooter, but for the vast majority it was only to applaud their team. Fair play to them for that, cos compared to Saints for example, whose ability to empty OT after GF defeat must be second to none, they looked like super-fans.

But as for the 'section' that stayed for the shield, if there was 50, I'd eat my (non-existent) hat. I always think it's a poor show when people don't have the decency to applaud the opposition, especially when it's something like Hull doing what they did at Wembley. Maybe my view is different as I see it as RL first, Wire second.

Fair play to Wire well deserved. We couldn't live with the energy levels and enthusiasm that you brought.

Good win for you guys last night,If you get to old trafford and we don't i shall cheer you on,out enthused and out played us and out sung us,well done

Fully deserved your young lads were fantastic ,Chris Hill was outstanding and yes should have been in Man of tell shortlist.Apart from the first 10 mins of second half we were never in it and that was more down to your play than ours lack off.Well done

Percentage wise, think there was less Warrington fans who stayed to after the challenge cup to applaud Hull than last night, it's what most clubs do, including yours.

Although the fans after the game were brilliant, good luck in the semi.

I don't think there is any obligation on winning or losing teams' fans to applaud the opposition, provided they act respectfully.

I didn't wait around at Wembley to applaud Hull; I'm sure their players didn't give a frig whether I did or not and were far more interested in celebrating with their own fans. I did stop around to applaud our players because their efforts merited that recognition.

Likewise Hull fans were entitled to do what they liked after the hooter. Those who applauded -all credit to them. Radford, Pearson and all Hull fans I've seen on the web have been sporting and gracious after the hooter - total respect.

I've said this before but the change in fans behaviour can in part be put down to the design of modern stadiums. Back in the day it took an age to get out of a packed stadium and as a result many fans would stay behind until the rush was over

I stayed behind at Wembley but it was more to see the Wire players. If they had come over to our end before the Hull players went up for the cup, I would have left

Impressed with Wire last night, just when it appeared your losses to key players might just be too much to cover, you pulled together and in adversity rose above it all. You played with a real energy and hunger. We couldn't match you in any department. We'll pleased for you fans too, great set of fans who really deserved it .
So you'll be shouting for us at the pies I guess. ?
If you can overcome your perennial nemesis, which I think you will, then we may yet have a 3rd and final decider.
I think now we will re-gather and get back on the pre-Wembley horse and do Wigan. And get it on again with you lads at Old Trafford.

I offered my view on the ending and took photos of the Hull fans as I was surprised that a few stayed. I was going to post them and thank them.

HOWEVER....
Don't do any favours on my behalf. I cannot answer for the condition of your eyes. If you are not willing to respond to my post with the fair courtesy I have to you, then save yourself the effort and hit the foe button.
I'm not going to stoop so low as to insult you.
Have a nice day.

You took photos?.......We'd just won the LLS, epic performance great result and you thought hey there's not many Hull fans staying to cheer our boys very poor form

How bizarre

What are you on about!?
I never said anything about that. Some Hull fans did stay not like the other poster said. Yes I have pics of them applauding us.

Some nice comments from Adam Pearson in the match programme about Tony Smith, describing how he accepted defeat at Wembley as classy and magnanimous and bringing credibility to the sport.

Argument, empty room,

I'd like to add my congratulations Wire. Fully deserved. On the subject of fans not staying behind. I was one of the fans who left but only because I don't live in Hull and had to get my skates on to the station for the last train, which I made by 3 minutes. I would have liked to applaud both teams. TV games always finish later due to all the Video Ref calls. Would have thought most FC fans would have stayed to say thanks to Yeamo on his last home game though. And for that reason and to say thanks to the club for a wonderful year I will be going to Wigan on Friday. Win or lose its been a great ride. Good luck Wire for the rest of the season , if we don't win the GF, I hope you do because I think we've been the best two teams in 2016

Couldnt make Friday but was there in 2011 when we won the shield but weren't presented with it. Quite a few Hull fans came over to applaud the Warrington fans that night (also heard subsequently that a few of them "educated" some of their own younger fans who thought it a good idea to try and wind us up). IIRC that was the year when the Huddersfield fans unfurled the large flag at the end of the game. The main difference between the two events, in 2011 we had already won it and Huddersfield hadnt just lost it as a result.

There is certainly some validity in the comment about how quickly stadia are to clear these days. Add to that the cup final was on a Saturday afternoon and the LLS game finished late on a Friday night and some people will have left not out of "disrespect" but simply the logisitics of getting home.

Well done Wire. Probably the hardest trophy of all to win and you did it with some style which again isn't easy, given the flopping, the lying on and slow rucks that pass as defence in the modern game.

Why the would you stay behind to applaud another team lifting a trophy? Do you not have a life? And why would it matter to you that others do?
