You are so mild you're yoghurt. Not from Hull,then?

I reckon at the time though we had good evidence to suggest that.




Would this be the same decent set of players who finished 7th that season ? Then after that the main success was built around the likes of Horne, Yeaman, King and Cooke all from Hull's Academy.


You've made the play offs, whilst its progress its nothing to get carried away with. You don't see Cas fans proclaiming World dominance because they made the play offs this season. The constant fact Rovers are referring to were they were a few years ago has all the ingrediants of a club who are just happy to be there rather then to compete.


That it will. We'll be back on top again don't worry about that.

I suggest you go back and recheck your info

Brilliant season. Our 3rd in SL and we finish top 4. Well proud of the lads. Disappointed about tonight, on another day we could've got the result. JM was right - aim as high as you can and keep progressing.

I'm glad the hull fans are having such a good night, shows exactly how far we've come.

Could never understand that argument GML.

Just because you clearly werent good enought to be in Super League for all those years suddenly gives you an excuse for not getting to major finals etc over the last couple of years!

Who's fault is it that you could not reach Super League til 2007? Dont think its ours.

To true but!
within those two seasons we were in a challenge cup "FINAL"

rovers was almost 3 decades ago! FACT

WINNERS OF FAIRPLAY
rovers 3rd
WINNERS OF FLOODLIGHT NINES
rovers knocked out in semi final by HULL F.C.

Making the play-offs isn't some sort of unbelievable achievement. You do know that the only team in SL that's not made the play-offs is Celtic, don't you?

Knock yourself out fella if thats success to you.
You forgot runners up in the Clive Sullivan Memorial Trophy

What is your win loss ratio in that competition out of interest?

Not got a clue.
7-3 if its played for in every Derby game in the last 3 seasons.

There are degrees of success though. Only winning something is truly worthy of celebrating, IMHO. You can take consolation, even satisfaction in other things, but not celebrate.

Hull's 2005 challenge cup win was an achievement worth celebrating, and I am very envious of it.
Their 2006 grand final appearance was something that squad and the club should have taken a great deal of satisfaction in and I am slightly envious.
The 2008 CC appearance was a consolation for a disappointing season.

We aren't celebrating, we're looking on the bright side and putting a season that outstripped most expectations into perspective. But I know you've waited a while, so on you go.

It's not, unfortunately for you, some of us have been around longer than 2007.

Just saying its been an excellent season and our progress has been great.

I've been a season pass holder at Rovers since 1989 and I'm immensely proud of where my club is now - there was a long time when I thought I'd never witness what I have in the last 3 or 4 years, so your snide comments make no difference, I've never been happier as Rovers fan.

the word that springs to mind for that bit of drivvel is "DELUDED"

Rovers fans make plenty of snide comments. Hence this thread.

Enlighten us all with your counter arguement then

I got quite riled up last week, I'll have you know. If FCimp had backed his judgement, I'd now have a sig of his (or her for all I know) choice until Feburary.



I am too from Hull. So clamped.

Awww bless.
As i said how they must have ate away at you.
Only 2 trophies up for grabs and although we have neither we came a damn sight closer to both then Hull FC.
Deal with it and spend a bit more time with your poor husband is my advice.

No need to wink, you're quite right. These forums are quite frankly ridiculous most of the time. Anyway, as I said, I'm pleased you're enjoying your night.

You made the 8 good for you!
You played two lost two the end!
you won NOTHING!

Hull F.C 2 worst seasons of the last decade and......
2008 challenge cup final
2009 finished 12th WON 9'S AND FAIRPLAY.
not bad for a team being compared to a team thats WON MOWT ,NIT, ZILCH, NOTHING,NOT A BEAN, WON NOTHING NEVER WIN ANYTHING.....ECT ECT ECT

The very definition of hypocrisy.

No prizes for second. You even mocked doing so in one of the two competitions last year. Do they still re-work the final league placings after the play-offs BTW?

They are what are commonly known as facts.
Hurts you i know but maybe you might improve next year.
