Stop being a c0ck.

Thank you for that honest assessment Sandro. I have always found your posts fair, amusing and sometimes fecking bewildering

You actually made me panic reading this, I thought I was on the FC site by mistake, but no, I'm on the HKR site. Strange site to be on being an Hull KR fan I suppose.

Took the words right out of my mouth there rover49

Looking forward to your next ban, roversmad.

Good for you.

Why is there a bickering session going on here. Hull won, they're having a good season and we're rubbish. Would I rather they lost, of course but they didn't and I can't begrudge them it. Much rather them win it like that than a lucky cup run during a bad season.

Just hope we can get through this year rebuild and join them up there, would gI've RL a real shot in the arm to have a spell like in the 80s

Completely agree, br. It'd have been a bit galling if they'd had a jammy draw and then Wire had put in a sub-par performance in the final. But they earned it, so credit where it is due.

It has been an astonishing season. Their team still doesn't look all that on paper to me - there were seven or eight in that team that I'd be deeply unexcited about signing for Rovers. Pritchard as well, given he's supposedly marquee. But as a collective they've got it done week in, week out. And that is admirable - depressingly so.



At the other end of the spectrum - Leeds.

And it is heartening to see that SL has still/again has the capacity to surprise. Where there is change there is opportunity.

Thanks for all the good wishes. I'd like to put on record that my perfect season would be us now going on to do the treble and you being relegated but, unfortunately, I think you'll stay up.

And for those of you who are 40 or younger, I'd like to say that watching your team win the CC at wembley is a fine feeling

Equally, I hope your team stumbles and misses out on a second championship in the limited tackle era, and has another decade like the one that followed your last cup win.

But what will be, will be.

As in much of life, so in supporting a sports team - the joy and despair are randomly scattered among the deserving and the 24 carat gormers alike.

Another fantastic weekend at Wembley with friends of both teams. I bought a fair few drinks on Saturday night for those of a B&W persuasion. I was genuinely pleased as punch for some of the older brigade with us and shook plenty of hands, whilst hopefully maintaining my dignity. Oh yes, I did have my Rovers shirt on throughout.

And with what's left of my winnings I have just booked a weeks holiday in Portugal.

As for the game, describing it as a classic is probably over- egging it but it was a good game which could have gone either way right to the death. How Houghton was overlooked for MOTM is a mystery.
