Unbelievable, their forum is a dust-bowl compared to this one and they soon come out of the woodwork after a friendly win of 6 points.

I'd be happy with another FC Forum as long as that tosspot Lloyd isn't there. The man is technically inept and interrupts constantly.
Mike White or James Hoggarth would do a good job with Clarkey as MC. The last one was great. Adam Pearson is more charismatic and media-friendly than Chris "Y'know, Y'know, Y'know" Chester and the bumbling Mike Smith.

Errlee Berd, if your'e going to keep going on with the hilarious big brother little brother metaphor, at least try and get it on point by highlighting it is not actually big brother, but an adopted hybrid of said brother who is only prohibited to play out by that big nasty Dr while mother Pearson bends over backwards on a whim with all the fake bravado in the world.

It is at least then semi realistic.

For a minute I thought I was still reading the HDM comments section . It really is that bad. Goes
for posters both sides of the river. Why does it always revert to playground arguments?

I prefer to mock the fact you haven't made a major final in 30 years and lets be honest it doesn't look likely to change anytime soon.

We may have had some poor times since 2007, but in that time we have won play off games, won 2 semi finals and got to two major finals, it may not be the greatest success story, but paps all over your recent achievements. No wonder your fans celebrated a friendly win like it was a major cup final.

I think the dynamics and psychology of 'banter' is quite interesting. The no major finals (as opposed to trophies) in 30 years thing, brings to mind Hull's defeats on the big occasion, more than Rovers absence from them. The play-off thing is a bit more impactful, but winning 2 semis and reaching 2 finals is definitely double counting.
Similarly I wouldn't care much about the Wembley thing if I was a Hull fan, I'm pretty sure. It's the win that matters, not the where.
Another rule is that trolls usually get more bites with rotten bait. A good point tends to be a showstopper, whereas, for example, the Mighty F90, intentionally or otherwise, got loads of mileage out of being slightly wrong. Mixing in a bit of rubbish with a more valid main point has also been used effectively by a certain expert troll in the past, to provoke replies and keep the fire burning.

I completely agree. The last section started off as a question about fans forums effectiveness and has been completely derailed by people unhappy with relevant photographic evidence. Such nonsense.

Right.

This is a thread about media and comms. Nostalgia for times when the dustbowl had activity of any type needs to be re-routed please. Reap what you sow, ie barren, arid crud and let us discuss here our "speedsters" or lack thereof in media description terms at least.

I see we're doing a big team photo thing on Saturday. Nice one. I'll not sulk that I'm not in it

Think there are alternatives now. Don't the club do online commentary? Don't know what it's like, but would guess it's relatively positive in tone.

It might not get better though now with HKRTV showing the actual broadcast of the fans forum from Tuesday because it means any hull fc fans able to view the audience might find Wilf (alias Kim Jong-Un) and Mrs Barista ( Ri Sol-Ju) could be back tracking faster than Jamie Shaul in his pursuit of Keiran Dixon at the derby. To be fair I suppose the more gullible may have been taken in by a photo from a small section of the hall taken at the half time break when fans were replenishing drinks (not £4.20 ones but I would have thought most realised the hidden agenda before making silly comments.

Still on to current matters at least Gareth Elliss is getting a good airing, in the HDM particularly, to the run up to his testimonial on Sunday
