Match Day Thread FA Cup Hull City v Chelsea

[Ehab's Member]

Or move the away fans to the NW corner and join north and east stand. Not that I think it would do that much for the atmosphere personally.

Absolutely this.

So why play him.. Surely Pandur didn't need a rest.

Most probably because he did'nt want to risk Pandur getting injured and having to play Phillips in league games.

Not sure the risk of that was particularly high.

More likely a reward for Phillips effort last round.

Silly little ****ers...Couldn't they have just called them Southern w@ nkers?

I called them something similar.

Once the game starts no one can say what the chance of a injury can be.

Should have thrown bottles at them from West Upper. Our state of the art CCTV cameras can’t pick that up as despite a lot of people being injured by them at the FC v Rovers game no one was ever arrested. Seems words are more serious. Or maybe the plod are not interested in arresting rugby fans?

Funny how the gate is closed after the match for some clubs, but last night it was opened straight away.

Was that your doorbell ringing? Old Bill looking for you perhaps...

Having been in East as usual last night I've watched the BBC coverage this morning, a good show, lots of respect, Shearer getting stuck into Delap, don't see him as good enough tbh, nice piece at HT with Curtis Davies taking the nation through our glorious FACSF victory and then scoring in the FACF. Worth the licence fee.

I can say the risk of a keeper injury is very low.

What's the risk relative to the risk of injury in training?

They'll have to talk to me through the window, the last copper to knock (I can't afford a doorbell) on our door got asked a question by me. 'Shall I start filming'?
Turned out he'd got the wrong address, our address is on the sign six inches from where he'd knocked, keep 'em peeled.

Were you alluding to the fact they have to rent as they cannot afford their own house like a lot of northerners?

 

[Evington]

It’s embarrassing, there’s articles popping up all over about homophobic chanting, even in the New York Times ffs.

The game has gone international. Just wait until the Americans have taken over the whole of the premier league.

One was similar, '**** off back to your cardboard boxes under London Bridge Station'.

 

[HCAFC (Airlie Tiger)]

No disgrace in tonight - just hope the absentees were rested rather than injured - if so, better times ahead hopefully.

Thought the Chelsea fans were poor, but their 'mauled by the Chelsea' (complete with actions) just highlights the infamy and currency of our own song.

How many times, in our history, have we been known nationally for our own song?

It was a stark reminder why the Premier League isn’t a fun place to be.

Getting smashed at home by a team worth hundreds of millions more, whilst some plastic fans from the home counties do their best impression of actual football fans and goad you all night.

 

[Evington]

I'd agree somewhat if the keeper didnt get megged by a direct corner. He nearly made a hash of the second one too

The ball shouldn't get that far should it.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

Can anyone afford their own house nowadays?

Anyway....

Hopefully the hate crime police don't move up to Glasgow for the 8th March Scottish Cup showdown between Rangers and Celtic...There'll be an empty stadium if people are systematically removed for naughty banter!!!

 

[Ric Glasgow]

You really are quite hateful at times

 

[Evington]

I agree with Bamberbloo or whatever. Pandur, Hughes, Crooks and McBurnie. You can draw a straight line of '****s' missing through our centre tonight. I'll never understand our defending at corners? Ignore what the **** next to you is doing. There is one ball. Keep your eye on it, and head the ****er.

Spot on

Storm in a teacup on par with the 'town full of bombers' chant supposedly heard against QPR a few seasons back. Chelsea fans gave it loads last night, none of it complimentary, all the usual stuff about Hull being a ****hole, paying our benefits, etc etc. Nothing we have not heard a thousand times before, and they got a lot back as they expected. I never saw or heard of anyone being offended. We must have someone at City with exceptionally keen hearing to pick up on all of this, or is it a case of someone looking for a reason to be offended and an opportunity to show their authority?

Why is poverty chanting and classism more acceptable than homophobia, really? Did Chelsea put out a statement before the game reminding them not to make classist chants? Will food banks and charities in Hull put out statements condemning Chelsea supporters like Chelsea Pride did to us? Will the New York Times pick it up?

It’s pure hypocrisy.

Yes this is something I don't quite get.. there's been a lot of backlash against poverty chanting recently and yet nothing about this?
