Of course they have.

You know what's been constantly peeing me off about this whole thing? The stance from some FC fans regarding Cockayne and the "lack of a public apology". Excuse me? Do you know what, the image that is conjured up in my mind when i hear such a moronic statement is one of people sat at home, alternating between reading copies of the Sun, the national Daily Mail and Heat magazine, listening to Jon bloody Gaunt on Talksport while waiting for your special "Apology-Phone" to ring, as anyone who did something bad rings you up to personally apologise. Never mind the fact whatever they did did not involve you in any way, you want an apology, and you want it now!

Ridiculous.

He tried to apologise to the man he attacked. It was rebuffed. End of.

It's more to do with the timing of him signing for us than anything else; Kickaynes recent unconscionable behaviour, pending court case
and also the publicity that goes with it all leave a bad taste in the mouth right now.

That said, Reardon on his day is a destructive runner of the ball (on his day). [iIf[/i he remains injury free he will be a good signing for the club.



I agree with what you're saying, especially the latter part.

WE NEED A RECOGNISED FULL BACK ,NOW GOT ONE, GET BEHIND HIM AND SUPPORT HIM NOT BRING HIM DOWN .CALL YOURSELF HULL FANS ,YOUR HAVING A LAUGH

You are cabman ,and I claim my £5

Wish he`d signed last week and played against the dobbins,i feel sure we would have won with a half decent full back,no question

Quote HULLMAD="HULLMAD"i read it,. no not in the hull daily mail in the yorkshire post.'" I suggest you read it again. The report clearly states Mr Thompson suffered swelling and bruising to his face, grazes to the body and bruised ribs after the attack by Cockayne and fellow defendant Steven Hayward. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Now ... 5137804.jp

Think it shows that if we had sacked him some other club would have signed him, maybe you lot, he plays well in a number of positions.

More to the point, Reardon isn't much good.

So you think the judge has said he is giving serious consideration to a prison sentence because.......................... He grabbed an arm and caused three bruises?





Lets face it, I'm not shocked by some of your fans comments, you lot have always had serious double standards.

The thing I'm looking forward to is your clubs reaction when he is sentenced. If he doesn't go down, you gonna suspend and fine him? I doubt it, and you lot have the cheek to hang us out to dry over Cockayne.
At least we have punished him and are trying to address his issues with counselling. I doubt even on the back of a domestic violence campaign your club will be doing the same

And how does Reardon fit into this scenario

He is a poor player yet has got more international caps then bent nose who according to your vermin support is "Englands number 1", he cant be that bad.

nice response

Don't know about courts etc but taking the above true just to put a different slant on this , Hull have just launched (in conjuction with Domestic vilonce groups) a perpratrator programme were men who have been found guilty of domestic vilonce go on the programme to deal with their anger / resons (excuses) for violence against women / their beliefs etc to try to stop repeat offending . This is the only kind in the country now if our new signing is going to go through this programme I can see him receiving a suspended sentence .
