ATEOTD Poore is a penalty/ban machine.

but agree the entire system is garbage.

That's better. The world is back in order.

Can't believe I'm saying this but well said Mr Hudgell. The man talks a lot of sense on this point and I hope more chairman speak up in this manner.

Imo the Whiting tackle is worse than poores attempt. Yet only one cops a ban?
No consistency at all.

Adam Doesn't need to say anything just read his programme notes were he likens the process to being judged by a member from the jury on Strictly Come Dancing. Great stance by both Clubs and for Hudge to cite the Whiting incident in the way he has is a real eye and should be commended, in my opinion we can still all 'hate' each other across the great divide as far as the rivalry is concerned, but this united front on the state of the game should be welcomed by all fans. One things for sure both Chairman want what's best for the game However I can't see the cap doffing, shoe lickin' Yes men led by the Hetherington's joining the criticism can you?

Our great game is becoming a laughing stock!

"Ebony And Ivory Live Together In Perfect Harmony
Side By Side On My Piano Keyboard, Oh Lord, Why Don't We?
We All Know That People Are The Same Where Ever We Go
There Is Good And Bad In Ev'ryone,
We Learn To Live, We Learn To Give
Each Other What We Need To Survive Together Alive."

The Big Hull and Rovers Love in !!

No one on the other boards will believe this

Good point Wilf. I actually think Hudge has used the Whiting example in order to gain cross-city support in an attempt to present a united front. As you say, this is bigger than Hull v Rovers. Lets get it sorted, then we can go back to scoring points off each other.

well said hudge

I do believe the only way we can get change is to highlight these inconsistencies by way of video like we did with the Paea one and Hudgell has done with this one and keep putting it in the public domain.

Otherwise you get fans of other clubs (or indeed our own club as evidenced on the Paea and Ellis threads) claiming it's sour grapes or a blinkered view. I'm sure if you take each of these incidents in isolation you could make a good case for a ban being warranted. It's when you compare them like for like with other incidents that dont result in any sort of ban that it starts to look corrupt/incompetent.

I applaud the stance from Mr Hudgell. FC and KR are on pitch rivals and long may that continue. But on things like this a united stance is strength.

There have been 95 incidents (for all clubs) put before disciplinary since the beginning of March this year.
17 were in our last 2 matches.

Last year there were 42 in the same period.

Does the game really need such scrutiny?

If a player does get injured then by all means check the video.

Most injuries are accidental anyway, so what are they trying to achieve?

We need a few other chairmen including AP to come out and back what Hudgell has said if anything is to change.

Fantastic example they really are very similar and you can see who lifted Whitings legs.

Nothing will be done though unless all fans decide to do something at the magic weekend for instance like "RFL out chanting" or something.

That won't work. They'll be too busy patting themselves on the back for organising another "successful" and "inovative" magic weekend.
