Having watched the incident on TV,and having no time whatsoever for Barton, I was just wondering what Alex Bruce does to Barton,and if it provokes him in some way? It might be nothing but Bruces hand moves towards Barton,but is then obscured by the referee. Not trying to defend Barton in any way because his reaction deserved the punishment,but maybe's Bruce,knowing Bartons volatile nature,just tried to wind him up a bit,hoping,and getting, an overreaction. Agree with an earlier poster as well about the Hull players flying in to try and get young Furlong sent off,but unfortuanately they are all at it,at every club.It goes all the way back to fergies days at man u,when his players used to surround the referee at every oppertunity,either to stop one of their one getting booked/sent off,or trying to get the opposition in trouble. Ever since then all the clubs are at it

Not sure if that last sentence will be a masterstroke or the end of Phelan <laugh> some people should stick to what they know best, although he looked solid at Norwich. Maybe he left as he was out of his comfort zone at Norwich.

Injuries play a big part obviously, but there was more than just injuries playing a part in your downfall, when I watched your game vs Newcastle. Nobody seemed to want to try, MP is great at getting that attitude out of players. Bruce has pulled out a pair of Aces with this one I reckon.

Newcastle was at the hight of our injury crisis (I think that was the game where we played our new young cb from Sheffield as a striker bc we had no healthy strikers). I think it was a combo of things, MP, people coming back from injury, our new striker from russia, and a more positive feeling in the lockeroom having all that happen at the same time.

Bruce might not leave if we stay up but by all accounts he is getting other offers and you could see it being a smart time to move on to a new challenge.

We don't care if it has a shelf life. We ordered it back when we were in the bottom 3 and there was talk of him being sacked. It was possible that he may have been sacked before it even went up. We wanted to support the manager when he and the club needed our support. The people making it even took time off their holidays to help us get it a little earlier.

It really isn't that much money spread over our board I think there is something like 2500 of us registered. We are talking about doing another smaller one or one of those ones you pass over the crowd before the game.

It's something you all should consider doing.

How much did it set you back? We don't really have the spare space for those kind of banners. We have a massive one that the crowd pass along and we have a trim of supporters club branch banners around the base of the upper stand but I don't think they'd allow us to put one up.

The lack of goals is a problem for more than just the players.

I think it was like 400 pounds. You can message Dutch on our board if you are interested in doing it, he organized it and has been talking to the club for us.
