Years of being promised better times (by both Hetherington & Pearson) and being seeing a quality side dismantled and top players replaced with repeated bad signings (again under both owners) a succession of unsuitable coaches and a slow-slide down the league table each year has done this to me.

Yes Leeds are a good side, but they where nowhere near top gear tonight, they didn't need to be, they just had to sit back and watch FC's yet again mess it up in a 'big' game.

Must have been before my time

Why, exactly, was this brutally obvious change not made today? Is there a Shaul-Radford tantrum going on?

Lineham CBA today and Westy obviously suffering from some kind of fallout.

Expensive arguments for Pearson. IMO.

Silly blind person.

Open your eyes.

Westy had nightmare but he didn't lose the game alone. Sometimes that happens. The lads are working for Radders but mentally not tough enough. Radders needs help but not sacking

For once I actually agree with Radford's commentshttps://www.hullfc.com/article/40593/radford-disappointed-with-carbon-copy-displayrl

up to him and the players to put things right.

I thought tonight went well to be honest

Too late, Radders.

You'd rather play Leeds than us?

childs was rubbish as usual tonight,but our attacking display was awful.our defence is ok and our attack away isn't to bad.at home its terrible.whats the problem with us at home.?

Few observations on tonight's disappointment, from someone who doesn't get to games too often nowadays because I'm usually skint, and I don't live anywhere near Hull anymore.

So. Left work in Ilkley, picked up my wife from Harrogate, drove over to Hull after a pretty tough week at work.

Couldn't get in to the turnstile - the print-at-home tickets wouldn't scan. Fortunately, the steward dealt with this problem quickly. Bit of a joke really, what's the point of print at home tickets if they don't work? Maybe they knew something.

Match programme is excellent, if a bit pricey. First time I've bought one in ages. Fanzine is pretty good as well!

Game: Abysmal. Some saying the effort was there. I wouldn't know, because we couldn't hold the ball for a full set. Never looked like challenging a pretty average Leeds side who we should have put to bed easily. Not going to single out individuals, but Westerman was particularly bad. I'm not going to get on his back, as long as he rectifies this for the next game.

Refereeing, particularly first half, was some of the worst this season. Abysmal, biased, one sided. Had no impact on the game. We'd have still lost.

Nice sunset. Picture of it is now my desktop background

Then, long drive home to Pateley Bridge via McD's. Just got in at half past midnight.

Basically, then, it's like this. If I can spend my money and put in that sort of effort to watch my team, I expect the same effort from the bl**dy team. Hence I'm now deflated, grumpy, and a bit angry.

We are a poor handling side , We cough up the same errors under sunshine or rain . Radford needs to f**k off or get someone who can rectify this on going problem .

Hell yes. Losing a derby is bad enough, but having your neighbours put you out of the cup is grounds for suicide.

And of course there's nothing to celebrate or enjoy about reaching a major final, you can only do that if you win it.
