So we have Ranga and The Drighlington Dynamo , anymore pet names?

I like a nice nick name, everyone enjoys a nick name.

In my office alone we have Garrington Barrington Smythe, Brucicus and Gilly Billy Rock.

I also think that people should be animalised, throughout my building I have spotted people that resemble a miserable meerkat, a blue tit, an Afghan hound and a duck.

And you work where?

Flamingoland by the sounds!

It's probably best if that remains hush hush, or as we say, gobble gobble.

you work in a brothel?

When I saw this thread title I thought it was your version of our "Hunks" thread. Very disappointing.

Back on topic please.

Who are these mysterious mischief makers anyway? If he is yet again moaning about opposition fans creating a bit of banter and trying to get one over on their local rivals (it's practically in the job description of a fan) then it's a bit pathetic really. It's not like it's all over the media or anything, it's just fans doing what they do best and having some banter.

Going solely off what I see on here, I think a combination of factors have made it a bit more than that. Rovers' rise in recent seasons has made Hull's decline a bitterer pill. Because they only thing Hull really had over Rovers in that time was profits (and the related issue of attendances), that became the sole focus of nearly all trolling. This has combined with the imperatives of licensing and a fundamentalist capitalist attitude in some quarters that clubs are just businesses, rather than civic institutions that mostly have and generally continue to require public or private subsidy in one form or another. This monomania and a tendency to exaggerate and misconstrue (deliberately or not) was possibly becoming a problem for the club's image. On the VT negative references are often made to the state of Rovers' finances - sometimes by fans of clubs who are in a rather worse situation in that regard.

How exactly is it causing a problem for HKR that fans of other clubs use finances as a stick to beat HKR fans with? Seriously who cares if posters on the VT think your finances are worse than they actually are? Why does your chairman feel the need to go to the press because some fans on a message board are exagerating things to take the p1$$? It's what they do all the time about just about anything.

Especially when he described fans on this message board particularly as "cabbages". And as far as I'm aware it's only Mrs B who was querying things with any sort of "background info" and anyone else was making stuff up as per.

Hardly worth worrying about and certainly not worth bothering the BBC about.

This is now verboten. You should be banned. Obergruppenführer Mild Rover is a bad ass now a days, fo sho!
