Haha, that was great. connor is pure quality and kelly obviously sits brooding on the bench until he's allowed on. Let's hope the wizard signs a long term deal

3 year deal I read.

Where have all the dummy runners come from?!
It’s like watching a different team.

We went 10 years searching for a quality half back, only to end up with three top class ones.
Sneyd is a big game player, Kelly is the best stand off I’ve seen play for Hull in 40 years of watching, and Connor is a supreme talent who can be anything he wants to be

Some unsavoury scenes with 10 minutes or so to go with a flare and bottles being thrown. Social media reporting a child hospitalised.

One of the things I enjoyed about today's game, other than the score, was a relatively tidy ruck. Players were making an obvious effort to roll away and there was none of this moving off the mark and stepping over players to milk a penalty nonsense.

Thaler made clear early on any messing about wouldn’t be tolerated. Hope it’s a league wide crackdown.

Tbf, if you have been reading the same things as me, I doubted it's validity. My first thought was that it's highly unlikely that they would have had glass bottles in the ground. My second thought was that 86 stitches is a little excessive.

Definitely a bottle thrown right after one of our trys while the lads were celebrating in goal. Think it might have been Paea's try.

I counted 4, then Sky stopped showing replays on the big screen, policy nowadays apparently.

Bottles were thrown at the players yes, but not glass ones, and Mrs B refers to a young fan.

Re: The Easter Derby : Fri Apr 19, 2019 6:49 pm  

There was around 10 bottles thrown altogether, some at the players and some thrown into East stand fans, one of the bottles thrown at the players almost hit an old cameraman. Then a flare came on.

Bad losers, And that doesn't go for the mojority of Rovers fans, who didn't misbehave, just a few idiots as usual.

Never saw anything about number of stitches, just that a child was injured and receiving hospital treatment. I saw about 4 bottles and was near the flare, saw a bit of fans posturing but didn't see any injuries.
