After another loss and a terrible performance the atmosphere when I got on the coach was flat to say the least. I looked at the coach next to ours which was full of Wigan fans. I couldn't believe it there was no celebrating the fans were just sat there eating their packing up!! admittedly the pies looked delicious.

I agree when you win Cups year in year out it must take the excitement out of it. It's not going to happen in the near future but can you imagine how much it would mean to Hull or Rovers fans if either of us won a major trophy? one can but dream...

In a nutshell - although to be fair Neil said he was going there for the win and not just the day out. Should imagine he's over the moon.

I would imagine he's over the moon with all the money made.

Undoubtedly. Great day. Fifty nil though ?

Yep , painful.

On the bright side , marquee player paid for.

valid point

It was without doubt a bad day for Rovers regarding the hammering we took, but you know what? we will get over it, move on and come back stronger for the experience.
We will also have made a few quid to put in the bank, which will also go quite a way in ensuring we move forward rather than backward.

Some people simply show their immaturity and lack of knowledge about a subject as soon as they open their mouths or put pen to paper.
You are most definitely one of those people.

I'd rather we invested it backroom staff, training facilities or youth.

Just had Facebook and Twitter notifications For the homecoming thingy tomorrow, it just made me feel numb. Lots of disappointed fans, lots of disappointed players and staff with bugger all to cheer about, which could be made worse if some of the fans decide to vent their spleens at the players. On top of which its 2 hours long which is going to take some filling after they've said sorry.

Me too , in fact I like it handed over to Jamie peacock and let him decide where it's spent.
But , if the rumours about Tilse are true , I think we'll see Mike Smith having another jaunt to Sydney.

Surely this farrago cannot be allowed to take place.

And I agree young Ms. Wednesday.

If I was Smith I'd forget about another jaunt to Sydney and ask Peacock to play for you next year. Despite his age he is still quality and you definitely need some leadership on the field.

Not sure, I've heard you have spent all the money on your celebrations tomorrow including the world famous entertainer Bobby Bubbles.

On a positive note it's due to be warm and sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky.

Oh no, hang on, it's going to chuck it down.

Damn, I'd heard it was Bobby Chariots, car back in the garage.

I won't be going. Don't think it is right to celebrate after a loss on that scale. The FC fans have every right to take the mick. On a side note. FC celebrate defeats by listing them in their club honours on their website.

I've ribbed them for that before, but I noticed the other day that Leeds do the same.

If I lived near to Hull, then the appearance from Bobby Bubbles might have swung it for me. I love the human scale of RL. Clarke's reading of Kipling's 'if' was a joy to me in 2013, ahead of FC's final. Just to avoid any doubt, I'm not being sarcastic or ironic - it really was.

Life is about making the best of what you have, and this is what we have. It might lack the brushed steel perfection of an Arsenal or a Manchester United, or even the red brick relentless success of Wigan or Leeds RL, but it is ours.

mild rover, sometimes all you can do is brush yourself down and smile, imo I hope you stay in sl which you will and we have our derbies next year, imo its great we have 2 teams in sl and long may it continue, yes we take the p.ss out of each other esp on weekends like this but your turn will come and ive got my tin hat ready for when it does,

I've never posted on here before but had to reply to that. I have read some absolute rubbish on rlfans but that takes the biscuit, please tell me it's a joke because if not you really haven't got a clue about anything

The next time it is our turn, I just hope it is us being good rather than you being poop. I'll take whatever is on offer, but it'd be nice. And when it turns again, I'd prefer you to have a high than us a low. Obviously, I'll try to belittle whatever you achieve - a little something that will no doubt make it sweeter.

Here is to the possibilities of a fresh, untrammelled future

Yes, it is a long-running joke.

This and his not having a clue about anything are not necessarily mutually exclusive, of course.

Rovers next fixture is always easy, and any victory is due to the failings of the opposition.

Opinion is divided on how funny it is. Jake clearly thinks 'quite'. Most others... well, I suspect that at best, there is a grudging admiration for his persistence.

At least one poster finds it very annoying indeed.

Welcome on to this forum my friend. Feel free to post again.

For the record, there is a whole army of Robins fans on here who agree with you about JTP not having a clue. He's a wind-up nobber from the dark side and he knows it. However, on occasions he deises himself sufficiently to make an insightful post, which still gets his arch nemesis Roversmad to bait back on here. The ensuing interchanges between them lurch from infantile derision to sheer contempt.

The post from JTP on here that prompted you to post is classic shizzle. File it and it's creator under PRAT and move on.

Please use one of the gloating threads on the Hull board. I know you have, but y'know exclusively. MR.

For the record, I'm posting this from the comfort of my own home. Not worried about a bit of rain, but I'm not prepared to "celebrate" epic failure. I believe that to do so is to encourage more failure. Just seen the shots on Look North. Well done to the 4/500 who are clearly are better fans than me & Mrs Stan.

Waste of council funds if you ask me.
