On The Longside forum, one poster says 'We were second best all afternoon' and 'We couldn't have complained if Hull had won 3-1'
Do you think if you write a lot it will make more sense?? Chester had played over a hundred games for us in the Championship. Knew his teammates etc etc. Keane has played 40 games over 4 years and hasnt set the world alight. Meanwhile we were all raving about Chester and how good he was. Do you get it? Can you understand it? The difference? I doubt it. But write another ten paragraphs of bullshit.
I don't really get why they're being compared Chazz. Keane and Weir were both brought in as 'fringe' players as such. Chester was brought in to play every week. They're filling different holes. If Keane and Weir were brought in as first XI players, then there's a massive argument to say we have problems. Keane was really highly rated at Man Utd, you don't stay there so long unless you are. Loan spells are very difficult for young players, I remember when we signed Livermore and he said how difficult his spell at Leeds had been. Then again the Leeds fans couldn't understand how he became a pro footballer.
Ah for f.... Actually read the words, jackass. Chester. Had played. In. League. 1. He. Was. A. Risk. In. The. Championship. He. Had. Never. Played. In the. Premier. League. Two seasons. In. The. Championship. Means. **** all. In. The. Premier. League. Clucas. Has. Spent. 1. In. The Championship. Looks. Good. Enough. Any player who has only ever played in the Championship, League 1 or League 2 is going to be a risk, so what? If we'd shelled out a load of money for him, fair enough. How many games had Rashford played before they stuck him in the team? Stop being a ****wit, you've gone from being a rational poster to being a bit of a fanny. Do a system restore or whatever the people equivalent is.
Owt south of the Humber is southern anyway. Humberside as a county no longer exists and shouldn't have been created in the first place. Grimsby and Scunthorpe should fall under Radio Lincolnshire.
Can't say I'm pulsated by the Humber/Yorks debate but strictly speaking, as you'll know, you're using a comparative of towns in a different riding who are, in administrative terms, as linked as say Middlesbrough or beyond.
I'm just trying to understand why people feel the need to be associated with say Batley or Halifax, rather than GY. Renewables, topography, proximity a common estuary and similar industries ? I must say Hull has **** all in common with those Pennine mill towns.
I agree although I must stress I also feel no accord with Grimsby. Perhaps it's my age but I see no shared industry, culture or any commonality with North Lincs: just spite from the south bank. I see Hull as the city of the East Riding. Our place should be a comparative with the likes of Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester not tied to the ****ehawk humdrum towns like Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
only watched the first half, but, thought that City's passing at times was outstanding final ball not with standing although some of those were good. As an aside I have seen no comments on the newcomers debuts anyone care to broach.
I don't disagree with you and was chilled with his selection; my only point is that we bought in expensive playes to bolster a stretched team and if a tactical argument can be made to use them then don't let performance loyalty get in the way of professional judgement.
There are a lot of people in towns and villages south of the Humber who are proud City fans. I lived in Barton and Brigg for over 35 years and would regularly meet people over there who were City fans. Yes one or two had moved across from the North bank at some point but there were an awful lot who were brought up as City fans by their fathers who had chosen to support a club across the river but the closest to them as the crow flies. My Dad, as a young boy living in Barton, was taken by a relative or neighbour to see both Grimsby and City. Despite the fact that Grimsby were in the First Division at that time, whilst City were in the second and it was a lot more difficult to travel to Hull (two trains and a ferry), he chose to support the latter. At age 16, he joined the Army (Boys Service) and travelled the world. Along the way, I was born and we eventually settled back in England (on the North Bank) when I was 8. That late summer, he took me to my first City game and I've been hooked ever since (47 years and counting). So please don't try and tell me there's no historical or traditional link between the South and North banks of the Humber.
I certainly don't have any affinity whatsoever for the rest of Yorkshire. I personally do feel I have more affinity with the South Bank but that may be job/friends related (or maybe it's just because you can see it?!) However when it comes to industry there is a clearly developing 'commonality' because of the development of the renewables industry. All the people working in Hull from Denmark etc fly into Humberside airport. All the people from Hull who are working in Denmark fly out of the same airport. The turbine blades are being made in Hull, lots of the logistical support is coming from Grimsby. The ports on the Humber, considered together, are I think the second largest in the UK, but they all deal in slightly different things thus creating one more useful set of things for importers to choose from located close together. I'm sure I've got some bits wrong and missed somethings, but it's fairly clear from the North and South Bank support from the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership , despite various devolution discussions, that there are economic links that aren't shared with West Yorks etc And the South Bank doesn't accommodate Sheffield Utd or Leeds Utd so they win on that score too The South Bank does accommodate a fair amount of South Hull Tigers though
