Yeah it's a massive loss but let's hope he back for rest of season instead of rushing him back

The Derby is one game, do peope really care that much about it?

Yeah it is only one game but great feeling when you beat them nothing better when you put one up on them

I can honestly say after we beat them early in the season it made not difference to my life the following week.

It did to mine. Work is great the week following a derby win and not so great after a defeat.

Try living in east Hull Paul. A derby win for the obsessed dobbin bandwagon jumpers is really hard work for our 50% of east Hull. Anyway, going in to a derby without Long was bad enough but now without O'Meley, I really do fear the worst. Our pack is a shadow of it's former self without him and it would have been exactly where we would have won the derby.

It's only for bitter fools like you that it's difficult though, the genuine Hull fans get abit of stick and thats it. Idiots like you get that little bit extra

It's only Rovers, we wont need O'Meley.

Exactly, a bit of stick for 24 hrs then it's done with. I don't see the problem.

Says the idiot who's scouring the Hull forum for threads to jump on !!

Go away little boy, get your Dad's 1980 CC final programme and a pair of clean socks. You'll have a much more exciting morning !

Don't see the problem in admitting its the game we all want to win, I know agar and the players will say its just amother two points but in any sports you want win your derbies

Derby's always have and always will hold that extra meaning, not only for fans but also for the players...

The answer to that question is all around you methinks . Yes it is only another two points like any other game but no it is not "just another game". I don't claim that caring about the derby result makes me a better person than those who don't but I don't think it makes me any worse. And I reckon there are thousands of fans from both sides of the river who feeel the same way.

I also think it matters to both sets of players (so much so that after we beat them at thier place earlier in the season, our team looked weary in the next few games) and the directors.

no, just who is higher in the league after it

It is nice to win a derby of course it is but it is just two games in a long season not a cup final like Rovers fans think, there season depends on beating us.
