Those councillors with their snouts in the trough of free (to them) alcohol and food will probably disagree with you though.

well said!
just how i felt in '06 and '09

Well I enjoyed it, wet through but I wouldn't have missed it

Feel free to counter anything I've posted

Chester out peacock in! Which diehard was shouting that at the reception? Haha

Didn't quite get the 20 or so black and whites that turned up, and the irony of the Briscoe 5 shirt wasn't lost on me.
Having said that it was quite a cathartic experience and am pleased I went.

Feel free to counter anything in the post

I don't have an arch nemesis on here. The poster you refer to is irrelevant to me and I never respond to anything he/she posts. There is no interchange

The tragic thing is that when Pearson took over at Hull we had their fans come over to the Leeds board telling us how he was going to put Hetherington in his place and how a guy with football experience would make the RL only Hetherington look amateur. He was also going to take him to the cleaners over the Luke Briscoe issue as well as have Hull charge up the table and be challenging for titles.

Skip forward to this weekend and the best thing they've had to celebrate in his tenure is the very same Leeds team who they were going to put in their place doing a number on their neighbours.

There is a picture doing the rounds of some FC fans there with balloons in the shape of a five and zero.

Maybe you could link us to these quotes

F.cuk off to the Leeds board and look for them. You're usually a dab hand at dredging up old posts.

Speaking of old quotes , a 10 year old , yes , 10 year old quote being recycled by the queen obsessive.

Big club mentality.

So you weren't joking

Right where do I start. You say we were fortunate against Wigan. Fortunate is not a word I'd use for the commitment shown in a game that nobody gave us an earthly of winning without one of our first choice half backs (Kelly). You also say we didn't have to beat anyone else of note to get to the final, Catalans and Warrington 2 teams who, if I'm not mistaken, sit above the "mighty" Hull FC in the current super league table and both of whom have beaten the said "mighty" Hull FC this season. Again, both of these victories without one of our half backs (our captain and main play maker Terry Campese). To your point of one quality player I'm not quite sure who you are talking about. Kelly? Campese? Sio? Maybe Super Leagues top point scorer until the split Mantellato? I'd say we have a couple of below average players at most, I'll keep my opinions of who they are to myself as it's all about opinions. That alright for you?

You're not denying the wind up nobber accusation then Jake! Not surprised, as the evidence to support same is overwhelming.

fair play to you all who turned up,

Wow, biting to a comment posted on another board?



Mrs B really does know how to get some of you lot wound up. Has Adolf Anakin still got her banned btw? It was a much more vibrant board when she was about.

Not biting at all , I actually find it quite amusing, but I'm sick like that.
I'll say this , hull Kingston rovers stopped looking embarrassing pretty much straight after Saturday's final hooter.

You lot crack on.

If people get wound up by the truth that's their problem mate. As for a nobber, guilty as charged

Really glad I went yesterday, it lifted me and the players by the sounds of it. They came onto the balcony looking clearly embarrassed and rather sheepish but really cheered up as it went on. Saw one burst silver '0' balloon on the floor and heard someone cut the string on the '5' and it floated majestically into the grey skies above! Police moved the muppets on and some other FC fans were present in their colours (why it beggars belief!) but they were quiet and three coppers stood near them but not sure what their motives were to be honest! Bring on Wakey now RRTR!

That was a considerable improvement to the other meeting in the season when a weakened Leeds side put 43 points past you.............in one half.

... well, 2 were missing from the cup final 17.

Yeah, but we managed to NIL them in the other half

I went. Glad I did.
It was a huge achievement to get there. Some people seem to be forgetting that.
The boys were obviously embarrassed.
Got the chance to talk with a couple of them. They were gutted to put it mildly. They appreciated the fact that people actually went out in the rain to see them after that performance.
Ce la ve - move on, lets retain our super league spot and bring on 2016.
