Agreed I've got a mate who runs Liverpool trips, he was born and brought up until he was 11 in Liverpool lots of family still there. Even he used to say cant uderstand how born and bred Hullites are going to watch Liverpool.
Orchard park reds Early 70's A bunch of Manchester United fans born in HULL No idea if they still exist .
I believe that the person appointed under AP as fans liaison officer, who didn't do much of a job in my opinion, and then emplpyed by the club and then Rovers, used to run trips years back to Old Trafford.
Are you a parent or relative of someone with cerebral palsy or other disability? You have no idea of the stab in the heart when language like "spastic" is used so casually, you utter whopper.
You made an account just for that? Your use of the word "whopper" offends me as I have family members that work at Burger King. Burgerist.
Don't be a prat. The use of the word spastic is more offensive than some of the words some get upset about on here. For one thing it is a condition no no one would wish any kid of theirs to have and to use it in a derogatory way is offensive. It is also inaccurate as someone who is disabled is not a spastic. I know someone who will have been in the disabled section following numerous operations. Years ago he was getting banned from grounds and would have ripped the head off someone coming out with stuff like that. It was a ridiculous thing to say.
I have disabled family members myself so get off your high horse. It's a daft word used in a casual context, there's no malice in it. People use the phrase mong which refers to Down syndrome on this forum. It's the internet Castro, people say stupid stuff.
Finny how some things upset people on here and yet things which are equally offensive in many ways don't get flagged up. People say the same things in real life. I fell out with someone years ago who went on to become quite well known because he announced he was going to have a laugh at the spazzies when he saw a group of kids in wheelchairs on a day out at Brid.
The language used is totally inappropriate and nothing short of offensive. Some people should hand their heads in shame.
That's quite different, that's real life. People who choose to go onto an internet forum should expect certain things. I would fall out with someone if they were making fun of people in wheelchairs in real life. On the internet I just ignore it and you should too as there is no point in getting worked up over it.
According to someone in the know, the Arsehole fans who attended the game where the genuine article as they were only sold to season ticket holders and those who had attended a certain number of away games...If that is the case were did all the plastics come from?...I reckon a lot of Arse tickets changed hands. There were even some Arse fans sat outside a McD who didn't speak a word of English.
On my hand. MUFC **** Done by king Arthur when I was 14 with stars around the tattoo Iv also got LTFC. on my right fingers And ESUK on my left fingers LTFC doesn't stand for Luton Town I would have shown you my HULL CITY tattoos if you'd asked was you with ric ? I lived on ope and sprayed HULL CITY all over the underpass Nr Rampton horse which was covered in ope reds graffiti Was always a wanted man with Watson's red army .
I will wait with interest to see what the mods do with any posts referring to Muslims or blacks etc in less than reverential terms. No one will get worked up about it presumably as it is only an internet forum.
I was in 219 too....row 15....with my son....what row were you in Fez.? I did chat with BotswanaTiger in row 5 at half time. Very nice chap...think he said he's an engineer out there. We were surrounded by Arsenal fans who were very subdued after 10 minutes but became loud and obnoxious in 2H when they equalized. Sat next to a neutral...Aston Villa supporter and his wife....who came hoping we'd win .
Its not desperation its the fact that Arsenal are a much bigger club than Hull with many many more fans yet we only get an allocation of 25k. Great game yesterday !
Also, considering Arsenal are located just down the road from wembley, it's not exactly a massive thing for them to pop down there to find out. It's not as if they'd all driven down from the north of Scotland or anything... If roles were reversed and wembley was on our doorstep you'd fully expect people to wander down to see if they can pick up a stray ticket.
