Thanks mate well said

Wise words about our performance. However, I hope you realise that by wishing us well you will now become a pariah in East Hull and will probably be banned from Craven Park.

They include that Plate thingy that was played for by clubs that couldn't get past a 1/4 final stage or summat. It was only contested for a couple of years before the RFL accepted what everyone else knew, it was a fooking mickey mouse competition

hey that was a major final for the dobbins

We got to Wembley, yes we did. So if you get a wish, we can get to the final but we will lose again next year - would you go? I certainly would, one day we will win there and it will make all the losses worthwhile. Not our day yesterday, but nobody died on the pitch and we all enjoyed the run up. As supporters we will get the chance to watch our team there again, that was the only chance for some of the players. They would have wanted to win, but somedays things just don't go your way. Keep the Faith, 3rd time lucky at new Wembley

Yep,checked the record books and we indeed have won at Wembley.

The title of this thread sums it up.We are happy just to get to a final to me isnt good enough.Until we adopt the attitude of Wigan,Saints etc that losing is unacceptable we'll continue to be a team of chokers.Hopefully AP will change the "oh well at least we got to the final" attitude

A few years ago we would have been happy to get there, the same as most Rovers fans would be. But we are a big club, and getting there isn't good enough.

Yesterday we were rubbish, great defence but that's because we never had the ball. Awful game. And up there with the '83 game, no doubt, because of the crushing disappointment. We all knew we had a chance to win,and we bottled it against an average team.

I just worked out how much I've spent over the last 2 days, it's a lot. Plus the organisation, the 6 hour drive, and the team decided they couldn't be bothered. It made me angry.

When we get there next, I'll be there. I'll always be there,because it's my team. But I can't be happy with yesterday because we were crap, and the people who turned up deserved better. We'll be better. 2nd is no longer acceptable for this club, especially when we don't even compete.

Do you really believe that??

You have to experience the lows to appreciate the highs

I'd like to appreciate the high of a Wembley win just once before I shuffle off

Yes, but it ranks lower than their real cup final, which strangely enough is always against us.

And do you really think that's the attitude of the players. They're carrying round a massive history of non-achievement by former players and I'm sure would spill blood to win the cup. For anyone to suggest that they don't care is just too bl**dy ridiculous. They're professional sportsmen and whilst they may not win everything it won't be for want or trying or a "couldn't give monkeys" attitude.

I'm afraid that for some people a disappointing performance will always be the result of a lack of effort. They just can't seem to get their heads around the fact that sometimes giving your all just isn't enough.

Its not just about yesterday.Look at our history we are perennial runners up.My point is some fans are happy just to get to finals and that appeared to be good enough for some of those high up in the club.

Adam Pearson comes across as a man whos not going to settle for second best
