Nearly positive. Shame about screwed in second row. Another way to look at it is that there’s an opportunity for someone else. Glass half full and all that. I think yes its one game but we look like an outfit who won’t be in the bottom 3

Your dedication to watching The Dobbins is incredible, driving back and forth from Spain to Craven Park is indeed a feat worthy of your unfaltering support of the Darkside.

Hardly an insult Reverend
I thought it was appropriate due to all the bitchiness on here
One of your mob will tell me next its Racist

No need to tell anyone about posts being racist…I remember you hurriedly removing a post when we signed Amir Borough.End of the day,…your a dobbin and as for being at the match…course you was and the way you talk about Holmes and Chamberlain,who are both decorated players and play the hardest game going I’d downright disrespectful,ignorant and classless…all which sum you up

I come back on after a long break and tbh,it’s just as bad as before…I know you have a hard job but it’s the same poster all the time who winds everyone up and has made sexist and racist remarks….now I don’t know the procedure for a ban but it would make this board a lot better…99.9% are respectful but it’s one poster

Decorated? Have they won medals for bravery or something?

No, but there’s levels to it the way he goes way over the top just defies logic there’s no wonder people question if he’s either a Rovers fan on a wind up or has a personal vendetta against certain players.

Nobody claims either of them are world class but Chamberlain has played on the wing, centre and back row at SL level and looked decent in a good side for a long period when Leutele was injured, he’s hardly the slowest player in the league or whatever he calls him he looks quite quick. Holmes has been a consistently solid player for years. Loads of people have questioned the wisdom in signing them myself included, it just seems way over the top with that particular poster IMO at times.

holmes missed most of last season injured and, lo and behold, is injured again. I doubt we'll get more thank half a dozen games out of him. Sounds like his knee is knackered.

chamberlain is just a low quality SL signing. He was a back up at leigh but seemingly first choice here. Not a bad squad signing but as a first choice centre it's hardly inspiring, especially with only one really good 2nd rower in the squad (who is constantly injured).

I doubt bonaire is a dobbin, he's too persistent. Most would have got bored of it long before now. If we keep wiining and he's not around then maybe you're right

Myler says we offered a transfer fee for Cross, I think the club know we need a better centre but it’s finding one available.

Holmes might turn out to be a poor signing if he decent get on the field often, but we signed 10 or 11 players in one window bound to be a couple that don’t work out, not many Hull fans won’t think we are at least somewhat heading in the right direction on and off the field, if not 100% perfect.

It’s just the constant slagging of players and then using said players to have a pop at ‘Richie Rich’ constantly, that rings alarm bells, again that seems like some sort of personal ventetta or an act. I know some right glass half empty merchants but most seem a little bit happier since Myler has come in. You’d honestly think no DOR at any club has ever made a dud signing before.

I know we're not paying Holmes to be a cheer leader, but the fact Cartwright took him across to the Catalans game says a lot about Holmes' influence on the squad or visa versa. The injuries are a concern, but as has been said plenty of times it's how these older players are influencing those around them 7 days a week, not just for 80 minutes on game day.

I would just like to apologise if I have contributed to squabbling/goading that Chris mentioned.

It is important to remember that this is a public forum for everyone to share their views and we're not always going to agree with those views. The world would be a boring place if we always agreed on everything all the time and it's often different viewpoints that make for the more interesting discussions that can take place. That's not just amongst us FC fans but fans of RL in general. I personally find it quite interesting when fans of other clubs join in the discussions, getting an outside opinion on FC matters.

So we should be respectful of others rights to post their views. That said, people do need to think more about what they post (not just on here but on social media in general) IMO as it's one thing having the right to express your views but another when you use that right to merely troll and get a bite off people. There's also a fine line of being critical and, to use DSJ1983's terms, slag off and have a pop at others. That line does seem to get crossed far too often and tends to generate certain kind of responses in the same ways as trolling and fishing does. Again, that's not specifically aimed at here but at social media overall.

So a bit more thought into what is being posted and how it is responded to needed all round I think.
