I've just scanned through your posting history and the only example of a Mod stepping in that I could see was your post about Gleeson the other day - which was libel and broke the AUP. Otherwise you seemed to be getting on just fine.

Stop shooting hm down Kosh! We can't afford to lose him from the board.

let he who is without sin, and all that eh.

I know Standee thinks that I don't GAF, but I actually take complaints like that seriously enough to at least investigate.

CBA to read all the bickering but it sounds like Smales had been talking to Agar today and the Seymour deal isn't quite done yet, Long not decided but Phelps and Washbrook fit for Wakey.

A great post, with a whole lot of valid and sensible points. I would, however, say that on the other side there is also just as much problem with people being attacked for their negative comments or their motivations for making them, and also a certain amount of ridicule. Some posters try to be open-minded but are portrayed as getting a kick out Hull doing badly when they express concerns. There are those who always see the bad, granted, but the lines are being blurred and many being thrown in with that crowd unfairly.

This board is quieter purely because people are getting past caring and finding better ways to spend their time. That's almost certain to remain the case until a big change happens at the club, many fans are just too disenchanted to be easily won back now.

That explains why the club haven't confirmed anything. I guess Seymour is happy with the deal but there are some i's and t's to be dotted and crossed?

hopefully due diligence on his visa position, or something similar

Great post and a clear observation.


I do enjoy this forum and I will continue to do so. I can choose as an adult to ignore comments or certain posters or I can challenge and debate with them. The Mods are just doing an unpaid job on behalf of the site to police whats posted. As I see it everyone is entitled to an opinion, we live with freedom of speech in our land. If we debate all well and good, if we are abusive or libelous then expect your back doors to be smashed in by a Mod.

I think at 1700 hours today we should all embrace on RLFORUMS and do an John and Yoko bed sitting type, Love, peace and flower power.

Good call.

Hope so. Don't know a great deal about his background, but the club appear to have their eye on the ball on this after Croc**r.

Which is the key to all of it. If people read and digested it, we'd all get along fine.

How far in advance do they apply for the visa?

I think the RFL and UKBA have done a fair bit of work between them, especially after the various embarassing c0ck ups that have occurred, FC are probably just covering their backsides before comitting to anything.
