Got to say I personaly find the ban daft.All mascots do things to get opposite fans going.Who has a dog mascot who "pees" up the post?,I forget which club it is.

Shame the same approach isn't taken with some of the idiots in the north corner of the east stand who spend entire matches goading away fans, under the noses of stewards, and doing nothing but giving all fc fans a bad name.

Can we ban Mark Calderwood from CP for been a c**k?

How pathetic. Think I might fire an email off to the rulester. It's the kind of thing you'd expect hudgel to do.

Surely a warning would suffice. It was a bl00dy friendly in aid of a testimonial fund for christ's sake.

As a solution maybe they'd let me bring my 12 bore to the next derby and I could shoot at him while he tried to dodge the shot from 40 metres or so

The word pathetic does not do this action justice! It is mean spirited and has made Rule look an even bigger a**e than he actually is and that takes some doing! If it was anything to do with me I would take Rufus to the next derby and refuse to play if they don't let him on the pitch!

Sorry, appreciate what you're saying and probably shouldn't have posted my opinion of him on this particular thread. Apologies.

He did do it, he banned Airlie Bird in July 2007. Don't quite remember a wave of red and white complaints back then.

So you are 100% sure that the letter came from Rule and not the SMC?

The letter is from the Operations Director of the KC Stadium who will be acting on a request from the powers that be at HULL FC

He will?

How do you know that then?

So he just woke up and thought i'll ban Rufus Robin did he?

And lets hope newton doesnt give the old "hand shuffle" signal to the south stand (at a testimonial/friendly match) how sad!!
