All the time? Hardly. Only when people make false statements about me or make up stuff about things that matter to me. Then I'm unpleasant, otherwise I'm pretty jovial and light hearted.
The spastic thing is pissing about wearing white ****e scarves or shirts, we're black n amber you lot want to lose that aswell? No good can come from pissing off our slightly nutty owner!
No backbone simply because he disagrees with you about the name, yet you're advocating changing the colours that everyone associates with the club? And you have the audacity to call names? Irony personified
It's a temporary 'protest', can you not read either? If those against the name change or rebranding exercise wore a White Hull City historic kit - pick your era there's more than one. Then they'd stand out in the crowd. The name of the club and history is incredibly important to most, the name which includes 'City' and 'AFC', the kits that include various colours White, blue, black and amber etc etc You and Olly can still wear Black and Amber.
You want to learn to phrase things better if you are want to be a sports journalist. Manchester United's original kit was red and white which they adopted in 1902 when they actually became Manchester United. The colours of Newton Heath were sometimes green and gold and sometimes other colours.
Great, now I'm getting criticized for speaking on a forum, in a casual manner, because it doesn't sound good enough...
There are only two seasons when we wore white, and only one of those was as a football league club.. We also had a season in blue and one in sky blue. In fact I'd choose the blue one as it had the three crowns on it. That could. E a link as Harold Needler wanted to change the club's name to Kingston Upon Hull City AFC and play in blue and orange with the three crowns as the badge. The first programme at Boothferry Park actually has a drawing on the co re of someone wearing that kit. Lack of dyes meant they couldn't get the colours so we played one season in sky blue and the, following the uproar amongst fans Needler backed down and reverted to black and amber but with a plain instead of striped shirt and then for the first time in our history put a tiger's head on the shirts. so, if fans hadn't made a fuss back in 1946 we wouldn't be The Tigers or indeed Hull City. So it is worse making a fuss. In any case just imagine if it had got changed - "Give us a K..." It would have been half time before you had finished. And going by the logic of our give us a C..I..T..Y chant which informs people,that what we ha e got after spelling out City is The Tigers would probably have ended with what we have got is Three Crowns.
"as they put it themselves" I don't think he wants to learn to misquote, although reporters can make a good career out of doing that. Just off the top of my head, there's a recent adidas one where the amber trim is two different shades of amber (****ing amateurs masquerading as professionals), there's also an umbro one from the CCC promotion season(? can't see we'd have had white two seasons running even with a sponsor and supplier change). I'm sure I've also got a white one with blue over the shoulders from round about the D3 promotion season, so that's be 3 in the last 10 years.
I have that shirt, with the two shades of amber. Not as bad as last seasons junior kit! Shirts and socks a complete mis match.
Nothing to do with not writing on a forum in a casual manner (you were writing not speaking) it is a matter of putting things correctly and not in ambiguous ways open to more than one interpretation. Not sounding good enough is a silly thing to say as it has nothing to do with it. These are things you need to do if you wish to become a sports journalist like Brian Glanville or Ian Wooldridge, two of the best of my time. That was down to their writing abilities and clarity of thought and appreciation of the subject. And they managed all that without doing sports journalism at university. How Alan Whicker or Richard Dimbleby became so good without having done media studies is a complete mystery.
If we are talking historic kits we are talking first team kits. And we ha e only had 2 seasons with a white shirt, one in the 1920s and the other one before we entered the football league.
Maybe I was being to subtle before. I was the first reply to this thread with the simple question: how long has the Man Utd campaign been going for? It must be at least 4 years without a hint of success. I cannot believe that there has been 5 pages of debate about whether we should copy a protest that has been a complete failure from day one. The'green and gold' lot are the worst of all the Man U fans. They are so disgusted by their team that they continue to pay the money and sing the songs week in week out, even though a new team was set up to free them from the American tyranny. Funny how the campaign got much less vocal when they won the league!
If you are a supporter you usually stay a supporter, despite what the owners do to the club you support. I didn't notice any change in the campaign when they won the league.
