rovers fans fill away grounds

Just watching the replay now. 1st error from Thaler, 2nd tackle of the game given as a Ferres knock on, clear ball strip missed, and we score off the resulting scrum.

Not 1 mention of this from the East stand.

TBF I thought the East Stand were embarrassing last night. Glad i'm in the North stand now even though there were a few numpties in there too. Even though the Giants didn't bring loads, they made plenty of noise. Overall a good game to watch. If Rovers play like that every week, i'd go home content win or lose knowing they'd given it a good go. That's all we as fans can ask.

Our inability to consistantly play that well is the main issue.

As a season ticket holder for the east stand but not part of the pub brigade I agree things have gone negative. Sandercock has lead the charge in tgat area though, and those embibed with alcohol are a little sheep like.

Glad to see most Hull KR fans have honest posts RE booing the ref and decisions against and FOR there team that shouldn't have been! The ref was rubbish last night and made the game quite frustrating to watch. The obstruction rule hit a new low last night and you guys was hard done by IMO! On the other hand Gardeners try was 50/50 what happened to super zoom on video ref. Low blows when commenting on our away support as the ones that commented his view actually went to the game.

Poor decisions by Thaler / Roby for both sides last night. We've got to stop believing this anti rovers agenda that's being touted around. The players and the majority of fans have bought into it and Sandy and Hudge have done nothing to stop it. IMO it promotes a negative culture at the club. There's no way that the officials go out to give all 50/50's to the other sides due to the fact that they hate us. I just think they're really poor at officiating and can't accept any criticism which seems to make them dig their heels in even more.

I fully agree !!!

When Jon sharpe goes on TV and States Roby is still very angry at Weymans appeal being successful, then he gives a decision like the Gardner one, from about 20 metres behind play, it's understandable for us poor simple souls in the East stand to feel as if certain officials have just a teeny weeny bit of an agenda

As a "neutral" I was going to mention that too, so thanks for being a voice of reason from within

I can never understand why anyone gives a cats cock end as to how many fans the away team bring.

Apart from it being nice to get a bit of extra cash in the clubs coffers.

So, cos i'm a Huddersfield fan and we didn't bring loads of fans last night i am not entitled to an opinion on what i saw and heard with my own eyes and ears ?

If we had brought 2,000 would my thought's be valid ?.

I think i had a point as it seems plenty of decent, honest, un-blinded Rovers fans actually agree with me.

I hope you aren't including me in that!

no chance honest and F.C fan in the same sentence no chance at all

The ref was rubbish for both sides last night. Lost count of how many strips your players got away with and how many forward passes we got away with. It happens week in, week out to every team. We deal with it.

Yes our 50 fans were probably frustrated too. We don't take much away from home but at least we don't cry at every desision. It was embarrassing last night.
Worse than the time your fans screamed forward a few seasons back when the ball wasn't even passed.
I wouldn't come to your ground in the future with the risk of a headache! The atmosphere stinks!

Your support however is fantastic.. Spend your time getting behind the lads and your place will be a scary place to come.

Quote ="GIANT DAZ"maybe if your fans had tried supporting the players rather than taking what seems to be your club's stance on berating officials you may have got something out of the game, you were booing the officials in the warm up for gods sake and then spent 80 mins booing and cat-calling for anything and then booing again when you didnt get what you were wanting, it was actually embarrassing to a fellow RL fan tonight.'" Must be nice to never blame the ref.... viewtopic.php?f=26&t=564848&start=110

I've never claimed to have not blamed or complained about refereeing performances, I'm talking about your club...Chairman/Coach/Fans having this issue with them which causes them to be booed and jeered even while doing their warm ups, your fans had decided way before that game started last night that you were going to be hammered by the ref and made it quite clear that he was going to 'get it' from your fans if he didn't give a decision your way whenever the fans decided they wanted one.

We've all slated ref's at games before but i've never ever seen a crowd do it before he's actually done anything bad....even the radio station after the game had the victim thing going on and were almost begging Sandercock and the players they interviewed to gripe about the ref.

Last time he was at the ground he received a standing ovation and that did us no good, so it doesn't seem to matter whether we boo him or not!

don't do anything then.....just encourage your players !!

Another whining get on Humberside now, with selective memory problems. He's moaning about why the video ref wasn't consulted for the Gardner in touch issue. He (and the 2 dopey sods in the studio tbf) said this lead to a Huddersfield try, which is garbage. Broughton knocked-on on tackle 2 from the resulting scrum, so it had no effect on the score whatsover.

Talking of embarrassing fans. I was unfortunate enough to chat with a half cut 40 odd year old rovers fan who at half time.
Telling me about when he and his boys ran the "Warrington casuals" across car park and put 3 of them on their s before the police intervened.

Truely embarrassing.

Certain rovers fans need to get over the whole conspiracy thing. We had it earlier on the season especially with the drop goal incident. It doesn't do yourselves or your team any good. Just depresses you a little bit.

And for those having a dig at our away support. Crack on. We're a small group. But we are loyal.

You are, it's consistently the same group of you that go to away games.

I don't know why you bother to defend yourselves, it's not an issue.

I bet you didn't get half this stick when you were rubbish.

In the main Rovers fans are a bunch of cocks. Very passionate, but drunken cocks all the same. I love my club, one of the reasons I go, particularly to away games, is to significantly increase the reasonable factor.

We're a very tribal bunch, I've got to admit I love it in the east stand when everyone is on it, it's a real sense of belonging and being part of something. I'm not from Hull, I'm from the coast, but Rovers have been my team since I was about six or seven.
I've lived away from the Hull area for longer than I lived there, but it's a connection to my roots and who I am.

I would never try and justify bad behaviour or hooliganism, and that's not what I'm doing.

I do think that many people change for that eighty minutes as fans and become someone and something else.

There's loads of holes in that post.

Fair play to you Sandra.

I love your passion and loyalty and there are probably more Rovers fans like you than the doylem I copped for last night.

She's faster than most. And she lives on the coast,(t rex) sorry couldn't resist that.

Interesting comments and i know what you mean, i'm err shall we say knocking on a bit now but when i'm stood in the east stand i sometimes forget my age and start singing, chanting and jumping around like a twenty year old, that is, before my wife gives me her rolling eyes look as if to say ....(are you right or what) .

The only decision that actually cost us last night was the pen given when grix grounded on the line. I thought the ref had an alrightish game, the vr tho is becoming an exercise in tedium and needs an overhaul. This is not just a rovers thing its rl wide.
