We've been hearing about your solitary triumph for 36 years.

Who'd have thought a couple of years ago that the next two cup finals would see Rovers get a 50-0 record thrashing, and then Hull FC laying their Wembley hoodoo to rest in one of the best finals in modern era.

4 : 1 now. Forever in our shadow.

He didn't say you started it, just that you opened it to read it.

But I am guessing that you are not bright enough to realise that.

Bitter?

Much as you'd like to think it hurts, it doesn't, why do you think whatever Hull FC does affect me as a Rovers supporter, the only time it bothers me is when we play them, I don't care if you win the treble or all die of Botulism, I will carry on with my life just the same.

You don't care but keep coming back to a thread about our Cup win?

Just admit it man. You are jealous.

I turned it on from about fifty minutes, I'd got my Mum over for lunch and turned it on to see what was going on.

My Mum's from West Hull, but my grandad played RU, she only started going to the Rugby in the early eighties when we went as a family to Rover's because we'd moved from West Yorkshire to Aldbrough.

At one point she cheered when Hull did something good, I had to remind her that her car was parked just outside and she was free to leave at anytime with anymore of that behaviour.

If my Mum hadn't been at my house and therefore an obvious West Hull foil, I'd probably have been a bit more comfortable with Hull's victory.

If I'm honest, I am actually pleased for them and their fans, they deserved it, but then, I don't live in the city.

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.
