Just had Facebook and Twitter notifications For the homecoming thingy tomorrow, it just made me feel numb. Lots of disappointed fans, lots of disappointed players and staff with bugger all to cheer about, which could be made worse if some of the fans decide to vent their spleens at the players. On top of which its 2 hours long which is going to take some filling after they've said sorry.

On a positive note it's due to be warm and sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky.

Oh no, hang on, it's going to chuck it down.

Not sure, I've heard you have spent all the money on your celebrations tomorrow including the world famous entertainer Bobby Bubbles.

Damn, I'd heard it was Bobby Chariots, car back in the garage.

I won't be going. Don't think it is right to celebrate after a loss on that scale. The FC fans have every right to take the mick. On a side note. FC celebrate defeats by listing them in their club honours on their website.

I've ribbed them for that before, but I noticed the other day that Leeds do the same.

If I lived near to Hull, then the appearance from Bobby Bubbles might have swung it for me. I love the human scale of RL. Clarke's reading of Kipling's 'if' was a joy to me in 2013, ahead of FC's final. Just to avoid any doubt, I'm not being sarcastic or ironic - it really was.

Life is about making the best of what you have, and this is what we have. It might lack the brushed steel perfection of an Arsenal or a Manchester United, or even the red brick relentless success of Wigan or Leeds RL, but it is ours.

You got a fortunate win against wigan due to them having to play on a neutral ground in a monsoon and other than that you played no one of note in the run up to wembley. Today showed where you are as a club. Currently out of the top division with a team of below average players with only 1 player of any quality.

I've never posted on here before but had to reply to that. I have read some absolute rubbish on rlfans but that takes the biscuit, please tell me it's a joke because if not you really haven't got a clue about anything

The next time it is our turn, I just hope it is us being good rather than you being poop. I'll take whatever is on offer, but it'd be nice. And when it turns again, I'd prefer you to have a high than us a low. Obviously, I'll try to belittle whatever you achieve - a little something that will no doubt make it sweeter.

Here is to the possibilities of a fresh, untrammelled future

Yes, it is a long-running joke.

This and his not having a clue about anything are not necessarily mutually exclusive, of course.

Rovers next fixture is always easy, and any victory is due to the failings of the opposition.

Opinion is divided on how funny it is. Jake clearly thinks 'quite'. Most others... well, I suspect that at best, there is a grudging admiration for his persistence.

At least one poster finds it very annoying indeed.

Welcome on to this forum my friend. Feel free to post again.

For the record, there is a whole army of Robins fans on here who agree with you about JTP not having a clue. He's a wind-up nobber from the dark side and he knows it. However, on occasions he detosserises himself sufficiently to make an insightful post, which still gets his arch nemesis Roversmad to bait back on here. The ensuing interchanges between them lurch from infantile derision to sheer contempt.

The post from JTP on here that prompted you to post is classic shizzle. File it and it's creator under PRAT and move on.

Please use one of the gloating threads on the Hull board. I know you have, but y'know exclusively. MR.
