At least there is one positive that’s come from yesterday it’s seems to have brought us altogether for once

Small things I know but I’ll take anything that scrapes by as a positive at the minute

Finally it’s took a year but you’ve all started to realise that Tony smith is well past it, he got gifted a great team at Leeds, gifted a great team at wire that’s it ?, by the way get used to the ‘we’re doing it tough’ ‘learning lessons’ ‘my boys’ his 3 main things he just repeats in interviews after everything the blokes lost it big time, not a modern day coach

Stanley gene, wow wow wow, all hes arsed about is his tee time at ganstesd, brought in to hold tackle bags up, knows nothing about coaching, just Tony’s right hand yes man.

Uncle Tony has done nothing since, the bloke is always bigged up by baz and Tez and the sky clown gang as if he’s some messiah… news flash he isn’t, he’s disinterested and hasn’t had a clue for years

You’ve got nu brown who had one cap vs Cook Islands (Oldham would give Cook Islands a run for there money) for 10 minutes and who played at fev .. championship

Liam tindall outcast from Leeds went to Bradford couldn’t get in either side and Derrel olpherts was his competition…..

Jake trueman had 2 major injuries both being ACL that man will never play full contact rugby again soon it’s a matter on when not if … on good money

Houghton bloke has been stealing a wage for about 5 years he should of been let go years and years ago

Mr okanbor well he’s just terrible

Morgan smith couldn’t get in the worst wakey side in the super league era last year at his position hooker and now he’s a SL halfback what ?

Jordan lane all the fc fans blew smoke up his booty to early calling him a future captain etc etc look where he’s ended up looks tired of playing for hull

Carlos t won the cup in 2017 and is still at fc in 2024 walking wounded

Ligi Sao not arsed and is very average

Pele Pele Pele , well what can I say about the wonder kid ? He got talked up via media, interviews , EVEN MERCHANDISE before he touched a blade of grass, why ? Why does fc have this weird culture of talking players up that ain’t even done a game yet, penalty machine, way out of shape

Tex has 1 good game every 10 games if he’s arsed


As for the hierarchy, James Clarke was a pitch announcer and now he has the keys to the runnings of everything ? Bizarre is an understatement


One last thing as for the people mentioning briers, Shaun wane and some other names, they aren’t gonna want to come ruin their CV in west hull, it’s a poison chalice,

It's Clark. If you rubbish our club at least get the spelling right.

I really find that annoying

Apologies and not trying to rubbish the club as much as I’d love too I’m past that phase, I just don’t get why everyone was loving the smith signing he’s just way out of touch and it’s easy to see

Tbf to Gentle he managed to finish 6th with a squad assembled at last minute in 2012 with I think our best home record ever at the MKM. Even though the 2013 playoff defeat was embarasing lets not forget it was a round 2 playoff defeat and we'd lost at Wembley in a game spoilt by a downpour. Legend has it the players downed tools, we never know what might have been had he stayed (2014 and 2015 were poor under Radford)

Id take the above level of league and cup finishes right now!

Think most fans now agree that Gentle was hastily dismissed. Even before the Huddersfield debacle there had been rumours circulating that Pearson had already decided to dispense with his services, hence why he looked somewhat dispassionate throughout that game, he already knew his fate was sealed come what may.

The irony is (compared to this weekend) that in 2013 most fans were more than happy to continue with Gentle, but Pearson had other ideas, whereas now the opposite appears to be the case. Today it's the fanbase who have lost all faith in the coach, with Pearson (for reasons unknown to us) clinging on to him like a life-raft.

But the situation with Smith looks similar to Gentle in 2013 (hence my earlier allusion), we've arrived at the same destination by a different route that's all.
