As stated earlier in this thread, if tries had not been s ored off the back of dubious decisions, there would be no debate.

The taking out of Waterhouse which lead to a Hull Try was awarded as Waterhouse was offside when the ball was played. Correct decision.

Have you seen a better replay than the one the video ref showed then? Because they did not show the PTB, they showed when the dummy-half passed the ball. Where Trent was when the ball touched the foot of the man playing the ball is still a mystery to me as it wasn't shown.

No complaints other than that though. I thought Hull looked fitter, leaner, more athletic, and had a better kicking game than we did. Last twenty I thought we looked tired out (unfit).

Best team won simple as that their kicking game second half was excellent may be the reason we tired being constantly turned around?

Regarding fans with the likes of Billy the dot king kno.b Batten on your board are FC fans universally loved?

We all have our 'over enthusiastic' fans I'm afraid.

I personally thought Waterhouse would have been offside but I agree there wasn't a definitive camera angle, however Lineham's disallowed try should have stood IMO

Fair enough, we have our fair share nothing more nothing less but agree that we do seem to rattle opposition fans beyond natural derby type rivalries? We seem to be on most teams 'hate' lists and not just as a result of our recent successes.

Not a bleat from me BTW just an observation it doesn't really bother me in fact it might even be a source of pride to some an RL case of 'No one likes us, we don't care'?

Well played last night

Slow the video down and you can tell Waterhouse was well on his way before the ball was played. Correct decision by the video ref, That imo balanced it out anyway because he disallowed Hull a perfectly good try early on.

surely waterhouse was offside and wire have scored tries from dubious forward passes,also we were kicking deep after tackle 4 but apart from that you avoided sounding bitter.

Well played to Hull they looked more lively and more imaginative than we did. Hull are a good side and have taken over the the 'Heroic Underachievers' mantel. They will be there or there about at the end of the season as they are a good side.

We looked a bit tired in the second half but that must have been partly due to the superb kicking game Hull employed. Holdsworth was outstanding. Good to see Ellis back on the paddock, he will be become a rock for them as he gets more games under his belt.

Thought Big Riley ran with more purpose and will hopefully continue to improve.

What was important for me is it proved we can compete.

A lot of Wire fans assumed it was an easy 16+ victory, they posted on this very forum. (different thread)

Most FC fans expected a close game, that might have produced a result if we played our A game.

I suppose the difference in expectation is because of recent history, but perhaps we might start getting a little more respect, of course we need to produce that on a regular basis.

You've said this about three times, now. What's a 'chicken chocker', Einstein?

Really? So when he reckoned he was a cat chocker, sorry, choker, he was jocking, er joking, then? Good to hear it.

Listen i know the only things in Hull are rugby, football and crack and football has finished doesn't mean you have to exhaust the other two, 1905 and SC are two different people, and SC is never anything but sarcastic on here, almost irritatingly so, a kind of 'hello meet my representative, the real me thinks your all tiresome'

Ah, yes. You think we've 'peaked'. Could you embellish this opinion a little with some considerations and arguments as to why?

My own opinion, even as an ever-cautious Hull fan, is that we are steadily building momentum from a disasterously humiliating Hull KR Good Friday defeat. Our injured players are returning, our much-jigged half back combination is now clicking and just starting to pay dividends, our structures and game plans are gelling, and we are beginning to demonstrate our potential. I've formed this opinion from observing all our games this season. Have you? Will be a few 'banana skins', though, possibly against Rovers next week, for example.

Thoughts?
