if we didn't care we wouldn't be on this message board talking about the club

Of course I am happy we have got 2 points, but at the same time i feel if we keep playing like that we are going to miss the playoffs yet again.

Everything is relative.

A good and fair post from a member of group 2. The thing that hacks me off is the fact that group 1 claim they are the elite of our fanbase and are proving their superiority by witholding their support. Utter rubbish.

You see the thing is I'm not delighted. I know there are problems at the club mainly down to poor recruitment over a number of years. I know Agar has made selection and interchange errors this season and have said so. But I also know that with a gradual improvement of the playing staff which Agar has started (albeit they're not here) together with the 9 years we have guaranteed in the top flight the performances on the field will imporve.

Too many people on here believe that you have to have one extreme view or the other and no inbetween. It's pathetic in my view to continually slag everything that happens at the club even when it's not always bad. Thread after thread of garbage rumour and slagging. The other thing which many either cannot see or refuse to see is that the league is closer than it's ever been with teams beating other teams they didn't used to. This weekend is a pretty good example. So no team has a divine right to win but some people act on here like we have.

We have not played consistently well for sure since the GF defeat under Peter Sharp. Recruitment and retention has been dire, and we have had a very very poor run on injuries. But some of the fans on here are not the same type that we used to have in the 36 years I've been watching. Too much arm waving, insulting and slagging off these days. Sure our fans have always been quick to offer an opinion but I'm feeling now that some are a bit disappointed that we won tonight and a true Hull fan would never ever harbour a thought like that.

7th best.

I appreciate that. Relative to getting beat by Salford at home, it is a good result. Relative to competing on level terms with the likes of Saints and Leeds and making a grand final, it is not.

TBF I think the only person to have used the word 'delighted' is you.

Personally, I'm always happy when we win. Just as I'm always pi$$ed off when we lose. That doesn't mean that I'm blind to the quality of the performance. It just means that I'm a fan.

Read my post above. Some people, like me, can see good and bad at the club. Not just one side or the other. It's called being balanced.

But then, the other group claim that they are the elite supporters because they are more loyal than the first group. And so it continues.

A little more tolerance on both sides, and slightly more measured responses to certain posts would be beneficial to the board as a whole, I reckon.

Well said.

Was the highlighted bit deliberate?
