Cheers. I had seen a couple of T&A reports about Orford, but no-one else.

But as you'd heard it from THE ultimate source of reliable information (myself), why on earth would you need to look elsewhere?

In fairness to myself, I was unaware of any sickness bug going round the team until after I posted the original post on this thread.

That said, if any players were not at 100% then surely they should not have been playing?

Come now Eddie I'm sure you've been into work when not feeling quite the ticket haven't you? Sometimes you have to do it because it's unfair on others to leave them in the lurch. I think the players who played when feeling ill deserve applauding for making the effort. Sure we could've brought in some untried kids but maybe that would've done more harm than good?

OK, fair point, well made.

That said though, I am not laughing at one of your quips again.

Plus we have likely done the rest of the clubs a favour and spread the virus all round Hull and scuppered their next couple of weeks.

Eddie, stop listening to reason. You're making me nervous.

OK FA, I will stick to listening to you then.

Makes Deacon's sacrifices over 10 years even the more remarkable when he was plainly physically not up to it.

I'm not looking forward to the Leeds game as much now. Bentham is the ref, and both times we've had him so far he's been terrible imo.

Sculthorpe's game is not scuttling defenders though. He's fat & lazy but with excellent ball handling & short kicking, & a penchant for head high shots.
