Off Topic Well done Hull FC

Been invited to a bit of a do on Friday. 3 course meal and free booze all night, oh and the game against St. Helens, went to the same do last year, think it was against Wakefield, too pissed to remember....Try to be a good boy this time ????

 

I actually saw somebody in St Stephens earlier with a half n half Hull FC ,Hull Kr shirt !

 

I'd buy that for a laugh. Anyone asks how I can wear such an abomination and I'll tell them its because I support Hull City AFC and while I think RL is ****, its only fair to offer equal support to our other local teams.

 

And of course it benefits the city

 

Break the mold - third by third by third scarf. Max benefit to the City's marketing to attract foreign investment.
Granny, where's your needles ?

 

COYH

 

Unexpected win for the Sharks at Leeds.

Cheerily acknowledged by some kid I know sounding his horn at me as he drove by in his Gateshull shirt.

Love that fairweather support in this RL hotbed.

 

Mudbank reckon 6K making the long trek to the Reebok for the SF today.

A possible final against Halifax awaits.

 

Can't see anything other than a Warrington/Saints final. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

Heard someone on RH earlier bigging the titanic journey across the Pennines up. Planning the route etc, 'we've got a car full, and there's loads going on coach' FFS credited to Hull FC voices.
I'd love to go to places like Bolton to watch Hull City.

 

Should have played it at Spotland or Gigg Lane- looks half empty.


It;s a long trek from Warrington too, don't let's forget.

 

Starting to get into the game. Warrington 4-8 Hull (31 min)

 

Don't know why Hull went for the kick just before half-time. I'd have taken another six.

 

It did seem odd.

 

Hmm, game on?

 

Not to be. Lack of concentration on a couple of their tries took it's toll.

 

Warrington were just a better side all over the pitch.

 

Never mind, LFC at Wembley soon in the Charity Shield.

 

Just to make RL more interesting then it already is, have they thought of after every four tackles kicking the ball high in the air and hoping some soft twat from the opposing team drops it ? I'm sure it would add to the excitement that had the Reebook a third full for both Challenge Cup Semi Finals today, although it was a rip off £10 to get in.
Also the scrums ( giggle) WTF is that all about ? Surely it would add to the nail biting expectation if both teams had a chance of 'winning' the ball from it ? Instead of the laughable situation of having five blokes from each team sniffing each others arses whilst the ball is rolled gently through the legs of the team in possession of the ball to a team mate to run head first into four fat blokes from the other team who immediately jump all over them ? I wonder why this game has never captured the nations imagination ?

 

I think if you're a local who favours the Hull-LFC combo, you could do worse than switch your RL allegiance to St Helens, which is almost in Liverpool, so then you have both your trophy winning favourites at the same end of the M62.
