Just wondered o/t Mrs B if you were at Sheffield the last time the great BJ opened with 'Big shot'

No but I saw him at Wembley arena in '87 I think. Big fan, more so of his early stuff. Enjoy a sneering lyric, me, and his early stuff is a rich seam. Maybe this is apt for today:
You have to learn to pace yourself - pressure
You're just like everybody else - pressure
You've only had to run so far, so good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with pressure

We'll do what we waaant, we're Hull FC we'll do what we want!

I don't [ihate[/i any side, it's a game.

I don't hate any team, but i hate losing.

Can we use the word 'detest' instead of hate then?

I'm quite fond of 'loath' myself.

We are Hull FC, so everyone else is a mere irrelevance. Hatred for others is just a sign of a low intellect.

Surely when on about Rovers it would be more apt to use the word "Pity"

Except the following .....

#1 Getting away with cheating by letting your players take performance enhancing drugs.

#2 Win trophies on a consistent basis.

#3 Play well across the season, finishing in a respectable position.

#4 Cheat the salary cap unlike Warrington who pay whatever they want to maintain a strong side (of course untrue due to their being a live cap.... but some of you numpties on this forum seem to be allowed to leave unfounded posts without any proof to substantiate what you claim).

#5 Be dominant over KR despite the fact you have a better stadium & facilities, a wealthier owner, & a larger home following (despite KR's million strong support).

Apart from the above, your Hull FC.... and you do what you waaant !

And some of you lot think KR fans are deluded !

hey look, another arrogant wire fan!

Good work that.

Yeah, nice word. It means unwilling.

So I left the e off the end. Sue me.

I'd be very loath to do that.

I hate Saints!

The relationship between us and Wire has changed since they stopped being woeful, but I get more pleasure out of beating Saints than anyone.

I dislike Wire fans more, but that's only because ive encountered a lot of d!ckhead Wire fans, and know a fair few good lads who are just unfortunate enough to support Saints. I imagine it'd be different if I was mates with some of the dire lot.

Wow





We'll do what we want!!!

We will always hate Saints more than Wire.

Get back to your Dire-Widnes Derby games.

Really, post the subject on your forum, a pie and a pint says Wigan hate Wire more than Saints.

We get the usual "I have more respect for Saints, at least they have won things"

It might be a bigger game that you look forward to, but i'll think you'll find you're wrong.

If hatred was on a scale of 1 to 10
Other S/L teams 1
Leeds 2
Rovers 10
I would love them to go completly out of business. I admit I'd miss the derby
but the joy I'd get from not seeing them in the S/L table would be worth it

I do find this attitude odd, maybe you wasn't around in the 80's, but when the 2 teams where the best sides in the comp it was fantastic for the sport and for the city. I'd got no joy from seeing FC out of business, in fact I'd get no joy from seeing any other team out of business. My ideal situation was for us to win everything with FC as runners up. Still each to their own I suppose, just find it a bit of a bitter chip to carry around.

I found the banter more witty in the 80's as well, very few had the bitter hatred that some are showing now. When we played games back then there was usually a trophy or something very meaningful at stake, rather than just bragging rights.

Pure Madness. You had Hull fans refusing to watch their own team at the KC on Sunday because Rovers where sharing the gate receipts. When it's as petty as that you have a problem

You have to bear in mind that in the run-up to the merger it [iappeared[/i that your then CEO was doing his utmost to see us go out of business. That's left a legacy of anger among some supporters that is going to take a long time to fade if it ever does.

On a lesser scale then a member of the opposing teams boardroom but on the same lines Hull Fans where quite insistent that they never wanted to see Hull KR in Super League and wanted our club to go under. Could argue that the Hull fans said their opinions in much larger numbers. After the years Rovers have spent in SL I wonder how many Hull fans have changed their opinions. I'd warrant not many.
