In the same way Hull fans took great pleasure a couple of seasons back when Shaun Briscoe was led off the field. It happens, always has and always will but I would doubt anyone would have anything wrong to say about Long tonight, apart from berrigans bitch that is.

A speedy return I hope for Long, who has been a tremendous servant to the game and I would hate to see him finish his playing days like this.

On pay till the rest of the season - what's to lose?

I know but he's got to sort his shoulder out, he won't be getting into training anytime soon.

In the hope they offer him more money and he leaves for them.

I've never heard anything as shameful as the "respect" from your lot today. I certainly don't think it does "always" happen. You've given a poor example, as well, as the vast majority of Hull fans still regard and hold Briscoe in great esteem for his sevices to us. No injury has ever been celebrated at Hull in recent memory, unless you can provide evidence otherwise?

He shouldn't get a playing offer from us.

Hull confirm Longy in hospital with a dislocated shoulder.

When Long has been injured in the past - Agar has valued his input. Most coaches don't train - they instruct. Just think this could be focussed into Ellis for next season in an attempt to actually have him ready. If he arrives at the end of this season as he's playing now, there's no way he's ready to take up the mantle.

Hope your right, fear your not.

They've only released that as a excuse to why we lost.

My thoughts exactly. They should be ashamed.
