Believe it or not it’s Donna.

Can't believe there's FC fans defending Hoy. The guy has always been a corn on the cob. And it looks like he gets that from his old fella.

He came across here last season giving it the big-un that they would destroy Rovers in his interviews. His comments stuck on the Rovers dressing room wall was Gold for Willie Peters team talks.

And what did Hoy serve up in the year and half he was here? Nothing, he was absolute garbage. A very average championship player at his very inconsistant best.

Good riddence to bad muck.

Hull Live still think Tex is going despite today's news. Suppose a new coach would still want a quota place to play with

Sounds like a new overseas 7 and a backrower.

I think we are just a bit more circumspect. Even kinder. New country, new culture always put effort in. And is a good player just not in these circumstances . You have to know these folk better before you disrespect imo. Anyone who crosses the whitewash to play this game deserves aforementioned respect. Sad that it hasn’t worked out

But problem here is who has agreed to sign these players? Last thing we need is overseas signings a new coach doesnt want

Yes. Also he didn't say we'd "destroy" Rovers, he said something like we'd not lose a derby, which turned out to not be the case but was not something to knock him for.

funny that everyone on here has been saying since the start of the season we need an overseas 7 and a second row

Extracts from what Hoy actually said:

"I have heard that the Hull Derby is so important before I even came over.

We won't lose one while I'm here for sure- that's my goal not to lose one of those- and hopefully we will be the strongest Hull team in the competition.

Hull fans have all their songs and chants which I am looking forward to hearing and they will be sure to give you a big kick up the backside if you are struggling."

My Hull family is split down the middle on Hull v Rovers so certainly was a huge talking point.

Heard Tex sister called Shippa

I'd heard it was Linda.

Some honest and mature comments from Hoy about his time at Hull

Fair comment from the best player we had on the books.

Probably would have won today if he'd been playing

While it's quite a humble interview from Tex and he certainly wasn't our worst overseas signing, he must have been doing something bad to get paid off..the club could have changed their mind on ditching him after Smith went

Never did it for us on a regular basis. Hope it goes well for him. Not our concern now.

I fail see see how anyone can think Hoy was pur best player, certainly not based on his performances for Hull, think we have already seen better performances from Walker.

Saying that he was definitely picked on for hull and other clubs which was way over the top.

For example Leeds first try yesterday if Hoy had missed the tackle Walker did, it would be all over social media.

he was potentially our best player but never produced the goods consistently. When he was on it he was much better than walker in attack. Clearly didn't get on with the coach but he wasn't the only one on the naughty step

I would quote your post Dave K, but this website is awful at the moment.

Walker wasn't the only one to blame for that 1st try. Sutcliffe's attempt was shocking, and Lane just jogged back

Agree, was a poor attempt too from Sutcliffe.

Actually thought he played well after that.

Irregs@16. I'm having problems quoting posts as well. Very frustrating.

Taking 4 or 5 attempts to quote someone .

This message board needs a tech upgrade or people will just stop bothering. Having big problems typing on Android via chrome, often you post it says under going maintenance

Know it's fan run but it's not the 00s anymore and it looks like the IT is out of date

Completely agree. I've just come back to the forum after a few years and it's shocking. It'd be better on a platform like Discord.

I've downloaded a browser called Brave - and it is miles better. Still issues with quoting, but the pages load better with no ads
