    What about, what about, what about?

    At other grounds, at other grounds, at other grounds.

    Stewards, stewards, stewards.

    Police, police, police.

    Too much segregation, too much segregation , too much segregation.

    Safety gone mad, safety gone mad, safety gone mad.

    How would they have coped, how would they have coped, how would they have coped?

    etc, etc, etc

    Jesus did Barry Cooper write that? What a load of bullshit.

    Meanwhile, rugby fans throw darts at each other and battle in the streets with cricket bats and the HDM says not a word.

    What has the article got to do with Rugby? Did the darts or the cricket bats cause damage to the stadium in any way that the club then has to cover, because said fans are too childish and surge to goad away fans?

    In a book called the numbers game, if I remember right they said statistically the opposition is more likely to score than the team taking the corner.

    Not sure about the stats but I know the numbers. As it is now take their keeper and corner taker out of it that's nine attacking and eleven defending. Leave two up the pitch and they'll very likely leave three defending them, that leaves six attacking and nine defending. :emoticon-0125-mmm:


    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    What if the keeper takes the corner, then sprints like crazy back to the halfway line?

    Gives you an extra attacker.





    Give it a go Liam.

    I reckon Allsopp would take a good corner to be fair. Top corner, every time without fail.

    Teams defending corners can attack more effectively, in more different channels, if they don’t leave someone stood around on the halfway line being tightly marked. It’s pretty obvious.

    Where’s the Hull FC statement about anti social behaviour?

    Can't say anything about the tubbys damaging seats as it'd be seen as fat shaming.

    'Alfie Jones said to us the team needs to be more ruthless, is that fair?'

    Just in case you don't get it, what he means is stop xxxxing about near your own penalty area so much and get the ball forward qiucker to two class England U21 players who can cause mayhem.

    Despite the manager's stubbornness I honestly believe we'll see a more attacking team in the weeks ahead with the gentle encouragement he's getting from others.

    A 2-1 win after a tippy tappy first half.

    Better still, stand up on someone else's seat when they are stood up and if you break it they can cover the cost.

    Doesn't exactly tie in with him saying 'we need to shut the crowd out if they get frustrated and not change the way we play' does it?

    Or didn't you hear the full interview and just interpret that excerpt as what you want him to be saying?

    If I'm ejected for a minor issue,I think I'll forego the ticking off unless he travels up to administer it...

    However,I might take a train down as I'd be hugely interested to see how they come to the £16,000 bill(excluding Labour costs) for a few cracked seats?

    30 damaged seats average per game would be 690 seats over a home season. £16k would work out at just under £24 per replacement seat. Seems reasonable enough.
