Oh well, back to Little Johnny then: His teacher held up a picture of a cat and asked, "What animal is this?" "A cat!" said Suzy. "Good job. Now, what's this animal?" "A dog!" said Ricky. "Good. Now what animal is this?" she asked, holding up a picture of a deer. The class fell silent. After a couple of minutes, the teacher said, "It's what your mom calls your dad." "I know!" called out Little Johnny. "A horny bastard!"
Hull City does get referenced in the programme too. But only when talking about historic games prior to the Allam era. That very much ISN'T the coincidence that Mr Rowell appears to think it is.
The Allams set it up, our email addresses were @hullcityafc.net under AP, the first email I ever got from a @HullTigers address was in 2012.
You're rewriting history here, hulltigers.com has been used for emails since we were at Boothferry Park.
You then have to order the reasons for our poor support and the Allams are way out front. A long way ahead of everything else. The reason is simple. They have the power to change things but don't. In fact they tend to make things worse with every decision they make.
Hot news! There is a "Hull City" on page 15 of yesterday's programme, in an interview with N'Diaye. That's a record for this season I think, usually it's about page 30+.
That's not true I'm afraid, you're mixing up the website URL with the email addresses. The hulltigers emails go back to at least 2003.
The whole point is that any half-honest half-decent club would put it right the very next day if they knew something irritated the fans, and it was easily and instantly in their power to do so. Why isn't Tom Powell held to account over this? I would happily contribute £50 to a fund to hire Jeremy Paxman for the next Committee meeting, and an independent minute taker.
Fair enough, I accept that I got it wrong with regard to staff email addresses, though the generic emails came from the web domain, so switched from @hullcityafc.net to @hulltigers.com from late 2012/early 2013.
HAD been sporadic, of that there is no doubt. But the last few years has been prime time to cash in on the feelgood factor at City. It felt good to be a City supporter, locally and nationally. The City Centre and schools had been dominated by young kids (and some adults) in City shirts, not seen since, well since forever. Sure there have still been dolts with lfc tops, and window lickers on buses set for manchester, but the last few years have never been a better time to consolidate and put the club into a position of strength for years, decades to come. We still have a chance to stay up, but if we go down, **** knows what will happen. The loanees will be off. Many of those on permanent contracts will be off, can't see them hanging about. Doubt Silva will want to tarnish his burgeoning reputation. Two illogical spiteful people are entirely culpable for the demise of the club. No one else.
Interesting listening to Stuart Pearce and Gordon Greer at Forest. Pearce talked well about how clubs should be more accountable towards fans etc etc. Used Bornmuff as an example of everyone from supporters up to the chairman being in harmony, all moving in the right direction. Gordon Greer was asked by Scott Minto about the Venkys, what they are like, what affect the have had on the club, and the players. Sounds like he must have played for BRFC previously said he noticed the bad atmosphere around the place on his return, that it does get to the players. No doubt the Allam apologists on here will say, well its Blackburn, Not City, but IMHO I put my mortgage on the City players being totally ****ed off with the shenanigans at City and wanting to be away as soon as possible. Allams - poisonous twats that have ruined my football club and pretty much stopped me going completely.
The Committee need to have a pre meet, where they discuss Main Items, and Non important items, and then present a coherent strategy for getting Tom Rowell begind the 8 ball by focusing by prioritising the 2 or 3 Main Items and agreeing the question and anticipating his get out excuses. Do not let him move on till he gives firm, achievable, measurable answers with dates, timings etc. Do not let Gladys from WU derail it by asking about cushions or wifi. Nail the **** to the table right from the start, and do not allow him to move on to a new topic until he has satisfactorily answered the previous one. If he 'doesn't know' or 'cant say' , ask him who can and when. Agree a timescale with max 14 days for the answer, all atteendees to be emailed it to save time and delay in arranging a face to face meeting. Hold the **** to account and stop letting him slither away.
Simply walk out if they don't want to talk about the real issues. They've been told what is non-negotiable and they'll do as they're told. These meetings are a waste of time.
I've now read the minutes and what a depressing read. They sum up everything that is wrong with our club.
If you think the OSC delegates are walking out of any club sponsored meeting you need your bumps read.
