Agreed, Meyler has been excellent. But that is what you get from some of our empty headed fans. Some are even critical of Alex Bruce, who was imperious again on Saturday.
I completely agree with this. We have been "The Tigers" for all my lifetime - and before that for my Father's and Grandfather's lifetimes - so the nickname is certainly not a "dirty word" with me nor, I believe, the overwhelming majority of fans. The name change attempt is now history so no-one should feel intimidated to support The Tigers.
I remember in the 60's era there was a song called hold tight. The opening bars to the song was banged out on the metal half time score boards followed by the shout tigers resounding round boothferry park. Surely the sensible thing to do now is to have Hull City AFC returned to our shirt badge and remember that our nickname has and always will be the 'Tigers'.
Until then, fans can do things for themselves, rather than potentially adding to future problems. We can and should still use our proud nickname, in fact doing that limits the name change issue as it marginalises it further.
I don't Dutch, only when the word is used as follows 'Hull City Tigers' or 'Hull Tigers'. It's like a red rag to a bull, as I see it for what it actually is, an immature attempt by the club to ignore not just the fans but also the footballing authorities.
It was this song I think Mazzer, it should definitely be brought back, it could be that elusive song that's 'ours'
I agree, however it doesn't stop our club looking and sounding stupid when the club constantly refer to themselves with those nonsensical names. I know we're The Tigers but I also know that we aren't, and never will be, Hull Tigers or Hull City Tigers.
Something to chuck into the mix ............. In the fifty years I've been going to City ''The Tigers'' are two words that I've only ever used in terrace chanting, or being sung by opposing fans followed by the derogatory RA RA RA. When I was younger, in the days when I went to matches with school, and later workmates it was always ''are we off to City'' or the odd one would ask ''are we off to Boothferry'', in all my years I've never heard anyone ask ''are we off to see The Tigers''.
Some parts of the Club, not all. But that's still not a good reason for fans to dump our historic nickname.
That's the one created a tremendous atmosphere in the ground and at it's loudest was quite intimidating to the opposition.
I'm almost certain that I heard this at Boothferry Park but my earliest game was in the early seventies, it really would make a great City song, it'd rival Glad All Over that was adopted by Palace.
