I must say, I'm still chuckling now every time I think about the main headline on bbc sport yesterday "Assem Allam - Protesting fans can die" Better to laugh than cry in my humble opinion. It's something you'd expect on an episode of family guy or south park.
xxxx RIP to your wife and a hug for you. I never got to one game in our promotion season.....or our first season in the premier league.......I only made it to the last 5 games I was having rcvp chemo....then rchop chemo....then rdhap chemo....then retuximab which wasn't so bad This time 5 years ago. I was about to go into st Catherine's hospice....weighed 7 st....told maybe only 2 months left But I some how hit remission Then it come back with a vengeance....again told maybe 4 months Again thanks to the staff in castle hill I hit remission Many times I never ever thought I would ever get to another game But my Mac nurse was a hero.....practically carried me to those last 5 games from his car...watched the game zapped on morphenie Anyway.....I just have a dose of immunoglobulin every. Month now as my immune system is knackered due to all the chemo. I'm fine....I'm always fine Thing is....or the point of this post is I'm NOT offended by what mr All am said. Couldn't give a **** if anyone even told me to drop dead on here or any were else. Mr All am never said anyone should drop dead anyway... Just a stupid comment. I don't give a **** if he calls us Hull Tulips.....lol I don't care if we get stuffed 10....0 Being at the games is a victory.. I think Mr Allam is great for the research centre he funded at the university I think he is great for what he has done for castle hill cancer centre I think he is great for working with the daisy appeal I won't turn on him for a name change that's not important in my world And for a stupid comment he made / joke I found his remark funny to be honest. The thought of getting back on my feet to watch city again was a huge positive The things that the Allam family were doing to get us back up into the premier league was another huge positive And he got us back up.....amazing. This season is my best ever.. Mr Allam is great......even IF he gets things wrong or says the wrong thing I sing city till I die His remarks about dying when we want to are actually great Because take it from me cancer is not going to beat me AND I WILL DIE WHEN I WANT TO boring post I know Just trying to say why his mad comment really doesn't mean anything.
It's that old thing of all publicity is good publicity, Mr Allam seems to be taking it to extremes though
Thanks for that and good luck for the future. Puts this whole reaction and argument into perspective.
It's only good if you want to join Venkys and Tan on the list of the most mental football club owners. We are definitely now on that list and after yesterday, we probably top it.
PS. Plus every single poster on here has helped me cause there's been times when You've been my link to Hull City stuff. Your all stars. Subject closed ============= Olm . ya prawn sandwich eating west stand flasker. Get yourself into E2 and make some noise for once in your life ( lol )
Northern soul ya cheeky twat.. Trojan reggae n ska. I'm not a legend I'm a thick twat OK And a plastic Please never treat me with kid gloves Never. But thanks Now sod off ya plastic
Assam Allam's grasp of English irony is sadly lacking. Of course he didn't literally mean what he said, I assume he was attempting a humourous riposte at CTWD. It backfired. He's made himself look worse. He won't care, as they say, any publicity is better than no publicity
http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2013-12-02/fa-confirms-no-action-over-assem-allam-comments/? More common sense than i thought at the FA. "They can die as soon as they want, as long as they leave the club for the majority who just want to watch good football." it implies choice.
Well now I fully understand why the name change is the last thing you're bothered about. Just keep enjoying the football mate . But it is very similar reasons why I am so against it. I know I've mentioned it a lot, (and I will stop eventually, I promise) but I have the memory of my Dad to keep alive. It was only September this year when a brain tumour took him from us but it coincided with with this renaming crap. He supported this club since the 1950s and brought myself into it from the 1980s - so I have such a strong emotional connection that I cannot stand to see tampered with. I was holding back the tears whilst walking out of the ground yesterday thinking how much he'd have loved that result and I was so gutted he wasn't there. Yes, it's only a name but a name can mean so much!
