That's your opinion. But the facts are these:
A poster has suggested players would declare themselves fit if we were winning. The fairly obvious implication being they're swinging the lead. That's unfair IMO and disappointing that club supporters want to freely a) make the generic judgment and b) cite Green and Thompson as specifics

Players generally push to play, many on the needle. Suggesting there's a mindset to sack it off because we're playing poorly seems to me, and only me apparently, a bit of an insult, albeit a change to have an indirect rather than direct barb against Radford.

phew

You're right, it is an insult.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree. IMO implying players could play but are choosing not to is a sleight on their integrity. You think otherwise, which is fine. I'm not sure what the hypocrisy charge is here though. Ben Cockayne gives FC fans the finger in Cardiff and we're outraged. Jordan Rankin delivers over-exuberant celebration and we love it.

Anyhoo...

The Wigan game. Not looking great if the worst case scenario with player availability comes to pass. Not looking that great anyway given our record at the DW. Two teams desperate for a win, both with injuries, one with home advantage...

Fair enough.



The hypocrisy is when you're condemning the insult of implying players are choosing not to play, whilst you've spent several weeks doing the same thing regarding Bailey. If it's such an insulting thing to question a player's integrity as to provoke the reaction you've displayed in this thread, I'm not seeing why it's OK if they don't play for your team.

And any player giving any fans the finger is unacceptable, I wouldn't care who it was.

Desperately need bodies back in the pack, is the presser tomorrow? Although as mentioned by one of the journos on Twitter, every 17 at the weekend had a player not in the 19, so fair to say we won't know until 7pm Friday.

And too much pace for us to handle

Having looked through various forums Mrs Barista it seems only you, yes only you, are remotely bothered about what Rob Crossland has tweeted, or not tweeted , as the case may or may not be. Understandably you try to switch to focusing on HKR, presumably it makes you feel 'better' when the focused is elsewhere.
By the way, in your defence I find it quite unacceptable you have been termed the sad queen bee by hull fan(s).....indeed I find a praying mantis more in keeping.
Anyway on to Wigan. I reckon it's 50/50, two teams coming off heavy defeats and both with injuries...and both with fans thinking the other side will win.

You say a player never misses a game with a "mystery" injury, yet you spend a bit of time picking on poor Ryan Bailey and his "ailments"

Wrong, according to League Express, Rovers, Cats, Wigan, Wakey, Saints, Udders, Widnes, Leeds all had the 17 from the 19

It'd be easier for me to type Wire, Salford, Cas, and FC fielded players not in the 19

You should have given up twitter for Lent

I think we've just proven that league express top trumps Twitter then.

It'll be just like frustrating hull to actually get a result at Wigan just to highlight what a real Jekyll and Hyde team we are (more Jekyll mind)

I think it was this guy I was referencing
@garethwalker13: Genuine question. Given that almost every match now has a player involved that wasn't in 19-man squad, is there any point to them any more?
