I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011. Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony. I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif



Quote: Large Paws "Because of the self belief that grows in the team when they have taken teams close and or beaten them. As I said, they have been able to play, unfettered by the pressures felt by others. Good on them and they deserve the praise.
'"


That same observation could also be applied to us. We know we can't relegated, it's been patently obvious since Easter that we would not be in the play-offs, so it could be argued that since April we have merely been playing games on an individual basis without any tangible pressure being applied to us.

Across that middle-period of the season we did appear to making some small improvements; a couple of welcome wins, a feeling that we were at least being competitive even in those games when we lost (Cas, Hudds, Wire, Salford, etc.). You would have thought that after the Wigan victory there must have been a modicum of self-belief within the playing group, in the context of a still poor season.

But in recent weeks we've gone back to how things were in the dog-days of Smith's reign, with the coach seemingly unable to alter the mind-set of the players while giving the impression of not particularly caring anyway. This is the complete opposite to a London outfit who have taken their situation and turned it into a positive. Whatever the situation, we are once more under-performing to a massive degree even without any pressure being especially applied to us.

The fact that Hull Fc, as a club, appeared to have given up completely is totally down to internal reasons and personnel with their attendant attitude rather than any external pressures from other sides. This is all our own making, no-one else.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying we haven’t been abjectly poop.
There are a myriad of reasons and poor recruitment is just one. Players not appearing to give 100% and others not wanting to be here are also in there. Poor, if not seemingly nonexistent coaching is another.
However, no relegation doesn’t mean no pressure when you play for Hull FC.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg

Grix started off ok but it seems (and there could be any number of reasons) we have once again reverted to type. Whilst we have been poor and unlikely to gain (m)any wins we have once again even with our poor performances seen the summer slump once more which is quite shocking given how we could get worse than pre July.

I think the reality is next season will be an another long season as we still have the bulk of the 17 from yesterday here next season.

Quote: Sebasteeno "Aim the vitriol at Pearson, he's to blame for this total mess'"

How does aiming vitriol at the owner or anyone at the club solve anything? What are you wanting him to do?

Do you not think that stuff like this is only going to put off potential investors/buyers? It’s obvious the fanbase has got a bad rap amongst players, I’m really worried it’s going to make any potential lifeline for the club to think twice.
