You'll like this tubs (you might); Hull rugby was in it's pomp and we were the poor relations, I was getting it in the ear from my FC family and getting the same from the Scunny and Grimsby fans that I worked with. A workmate at the time hailed from St Helens, I asked him that when he next went back home, would he bring me back some St Helens memorabilia for my car - you can imagine the spluttering and slavvering the next time I was at a family gathering with my ''Don't Follow Me, Follow The Saints'' sticker in my rear screen along with the nodding dog in red and white garb on the parcel shelf. Despite them supporting FC AND all following another football team, they tried to tell me without the slightest hint of irony that I should support my home town club (I **** you not), when I mentioned Spurs, Leeds and Liverpool (their teams) I got the stock ''you're born into a rugby team, you choose a football team'' answer. PS I long suspected I was adopted
Caught a few minutes of commentary from Rovers game today, and it consisted solely of comments criticising football. The main theme was the recent football at Craven Park had ruineed the pitch.
