I'd threaten westerman and watts with doncaster (no offence to Donny) unless they start to step up to the plate'" ]
Would Cookey take them ?
He rightly indicated he would not tolerate any attitude from Hull players and they would be sent back with Radfords blessing.
They both think that they are stars but are wide of the mark.

| Quote: R.B.A "Neil Hudgell played in Paul Fletchers testimonial game. I remember Johny Vegas playing in a Saints one, think it was Cunninghams. Thinking back to the 80s I recall a referee putting a shirt on and the Rovers pack smashing him. Think it was Ronnie Campbell but could be wrong.
One of the best testimonial games I have been to was Jamie Carraghers. Liverpool played Everton. Both teams started with full sides but only really played at 80%. Then Liverpool started bringing on ex team mates of Carragher and some old Liverpool legends. Everton put on their youth side. One of the linesman wore an Everton shirt and didn't give Liverpool anything all day. Carragher even took a penalty for Everton. It was just good fun which is what Testimonials should be. Whitings big day was ruined yesterday and its a crying shame for such a loyal clubman, and good player.'"
Aye, for Netherton's I'd think the prospect of seeing the likes of Iain Morrison, Stanley Gene, Makali Aizue, Shaun Briscoe, Chris Chester, even trotting about at half-pelt, would be more attractive/special than a preparatory game for a mix of kids and fringe first teamers. The latter are important and necessary, but not really an 'event'.
Jonny Vegas dropped the ball with the tryline begging, I vaguely recall, to much good natured derision.

Whilst the team he has given 10 years loyal service failed to turn up, the town he grew up in and where all the family still live, the team he supported as a young lad, the team where he played as a young boy, the team that gave him his break and his chance and the team that he may end up finishing his career at as well as offering to stage the game when the KC couldnt and have offered any further assistance if required with the testamonial kept their end of the bargain and were competitive and put on a decent show for him both on and off the field'"
Yes Fev were a credit to Rich, however it was all let down by that f**k**g drummer

No surprise that we have non-professional players when our scouting system seems so bad, and we've had that for several years under different coaches and both Hetherington & now Pearson. Every year we get desperate and sign players up out of desperation, not checking what their off the field attitude is like and with several players (Dykes being the most prominent example) we don't seem to do much in terms of medicals either.
We knew that Liam Watts was disruptive of the field for example, but we still brought him in mid-season because we 'needed a prop' instead of checking that he was the type of professional we needed.
I appreciate that since SL's gone to 14 teams, and the Aussies & Kiwi's have stopped coming that there are less quality players to pick from...and that sometimes you have to gamble on a player, but we seem worst than most teams for bringing in players that are either not up to it, injured, like a drink or 10 or have off field issues.
in the last couple of years alone we've released the likes of Holdsworth, Seymour, O'Carroll, Johnson, McKinnon, Jamie Ellis, Lynch, Obst...its like a revolving door!

Nearly all of those was bought by the old board and ex coaches......not heard anything about Watts been disruptive off the pitch where as Holdsworth was the main culprit last season and some of others asked to go.

That drum was bad but nothing compared to the doughnut who chanted by himself "you only sing when you're fishing" about 50 times.
I will lay my cards on the table,we will not finish in the 8.IMO

Tell the guy not to bother with a smaller drum either, they're banned at the KC (thank goodness)

It is always nice to hear supporters from teams that have "drummers" voice their opinions on them. I think they would be fine in moderation, but sadly once someone gets a drum in their hands they get it into their heads that it needs to be banged every couple of minutes.
