When Long signed for us I was overjoyed.Always been a big fan of his,thought that though past his best he still had a lot to offer.
Have to say though whilst he has been here I have been more disappointed than a disappointed man in a disappointment shop.

Thought Long was pretty good last night with ball in hand as he has been for a lot of this season. Richard Horne was the weakest half on the pitch IMO and had his worst game at SO since he came back from injury - virtually anonymous.

Not knocking him as a player mate,its just with injuries and now a suspension we have not had the best out of him.

Are you ever gonna luck out with any brains and stop being condescending?

where was longys kicking game in fact where was the kicking gamke from us its awfull

Pity he wasn't here 5 years ago you're right.

Probably a lot sooner than you'll stop being arrogant and insulting.

Yeah I saw the Longy sending off just now, he led with the forearm, didn't seem to truely connect but was rightly sent off for intent IMO. The Radford sin-binning though was baffling as he didn't appear to do anything, there wasn't even a reaction from anyone in the Cas side that something illegal had occured.

I doubt that,it's in your genetic makeup.

I rest my case.

My question is, was Obst injured when long went off for the sin binning?
If not why did Agar bring on a second rower as an interchange, when we had just had our main playmaker sent off the pitch for 10 mins and we where 8 points behind.
I haven't read all the threads so not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere else.

Thanks, but did we get a response as to if he was injured or not?

Just can't understand Agar's thinking that's all.

Not turning it into an Agar bitchfest, because I think we did ok last night and desperately p***ed off we didn't get the win.

On what? your ego.

Long certainly did deserve to go, but Childs has to take the responsibility for it.

I don't care how experienced Long is, I can fully understand why he reacted like he did, although I am not saying it is acceptable.

Cas had been warned numerous times about headshots and grapple tackles, but nothing was done until Long himsef was clobberd not only late, but high by Aspinwall, Long retaliated and both players were sent to cool down for 10.

Then when Long returned to the field, he was almost decapitated on the Cas line, but again Mrs Childs chose to ignore it. At this point, the red mist had decended and Long took matteres into his own hands and lead with the elbow into the next tackle.

The red card was the right decision, but Mrs Childs performance was the major contribritory factor. Long actions were wholly wrong, but fully inderstandable under the circumstances imo.

If I was Hull FC, I would be editing the video now, highlighting the numerous head shots Cas were unpunished for and the umpteen decisions Child got totally wrong and plead a case for sending off sufficient for Long.

Every team could do that for every game, your point is ridiculous.

As for sending off sufficient, the fact that he intentionally led with the elbow pretty much as soon as he came out of the sin bin is deserving of a long ban. It was cowardly and malicious and to blame it all on the ref is a joke.

No, he lead with his elbow straight after having ANOTHER headshot on him go unpunished yet again by Childs.

Maybe Long just thought he would chance his arm (no pun intended) and see if he could get away with what others had been doing for the full game.

Not understandable to try and attack a young kids with his elbow whatsoever......cowardly act irrespective if he had been fouled earlier. it wasnt even emmitt involved was it ?

Sure he didn't deserve a red?? twitpic.com/4g0lsq

Sure he didn't deserve a red?? twitpic.com/4g0lsq

Remember how everyone wanted Tomkins hung for is elbow , He should be missing for Bradford and Les Dragons matches.

Didn't Tomkins get three games?

I'd expect the same.

And if he had broken Emmits jaw,would you have come to the same conclusion?

But he is a condescending egomaniac,wheres the hypocrisy in that?

Spot on that for me...childs contributed massively to not just this incident but most of the scuffles that happened last night..both set of players were obviously frustrated by his performance..
