Roy's View From... View From Hull

[SUFC Guy]

The fat bloke in the orange polo was easy bait.

In fact, all of the backwards fuckers appeared to be apoplectic when we scored.

Strange folk with more fingers than teeth.

Basically runs over a meshed area swings 3 air punches runs back and will get a knock on the door this week and a 3 year banning order ,my advice to him is don't over do the shandy before the game .

Saw that from where I was stood. The kid clearly had a death wish.

 

[Jinxy1966]

Errr nerrrr. Banning irders.

They even type like they speak.

Shite little club is Hull. Rugby league town.
Had a short spell in the Prem and developed a weird superiority complex. Heading back to where they belong. Their fans were cocks that day at Wembley too.

Tbf, if you lived in Hull you would probably do the same. Wanting to be put out of his misery. Unfortunately for him, he was allowed to carry on 'living' in the bright lights of Hull....

Someone should have told the Hull players that they were playing football at their stadium on Saturday afternoon and not Rugby. The way they were trying to manhandle the Utd players at set pieces I expected them to insist that we turnover the ball on the 6th tackle.

Was another nailed on penalty when Egan scored our third. In fact I didn't cheer at first as i was expecting the ref to insist that he had blown the whistle for a penalty. Luckily for us the ref bottled the decision and we scored anyway.

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Many thanks Roymundo

 

[Withington Blade]

Never understood why people get into fights at a football match

Or why some people take pride in their fans decking an opposing fan. Each to their own I guess

 

[diode_blade]

Bout bloody time Roy.
Cheers by the way.
Shoutbox meltdown averted.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Love Hull always a laugh, yesterday sat in traffic after the match a pissed up or crackhead woman was racing down the pavement on a disabled scooter with the poor bastard who owned it hanging on for dear life. Just like an episode of shameless.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

The Ken Knighton influence grinds on in the heads of these Neanderthals. Coming to the Lane on Tuesday 9th March 1971 and learning that night that by constant bullying and kicking the shit out of more talented players you might just win a game still sits in their DNA profile. They're still smarting from that 6-0 thrashing at the Lane too.
Billy obviously studied our history with these, and decided the twats weren't going to have the cheating all to themselves - good on yer lad.......

Refs seem to be increasingly turning a blind eye to this kind of tackling.

“Kicked off in the north-east corner. **** was being thrown”

what was being thrown, the mind boggles?

 

[Old Programme seller]

Hull is just the poor side of Leeds a bloody horrible place

 

[SelbyBlade]

"it was one of ours who ran into the away end and decked one of theirs, I’d say it’s pretty much a nailed on certainty there will be banning irders" writes it like he pronounces it I see. Both sets of fans didn't shower them selves in glory at the match. The throwing of stuff from some Blades fans was disgusting and the ridiculous Hull fans really showed up their club and already struggling city. I had the unfortunate experience of having to go to Hull Royal Infirmary the day before and it brought home just how far behind Hull has fallen. The club is returning to its natural position (prior to the plonked stadium) which is the bottom two divisions. The purple patch due to two lucky breaks (the stadium and then Allam) is fading and they are having to rely on their rugby league loving town's fan base with no conurbation or any prospect of investment in the near future. There are some rumours of a Turkish "investor" but these rumours are always peddled to give hop to keep the fans coming.
In one way I feel a little sorry for them, but very few teams get as lucky as they did once never mind twice, from a nowhere club to Premier league on two occasions. There's no way they can achieve that again purely on the fan base so they are going to have to accept a long period in the lower divisions.

 

[BarcaBlade]

Thanks as ever Roy for posting these post match comments. Amazing isn’t it how many times fans of a team that has just had an utterly useless performance come up with some mythical event and figure from their fan base who ‘took on’ 4,000 away fans and ‘embarrassed them’ with his physical prowess. Like some latter day Conan the Barbarian. Or maybe Burberry the Barbarian? It seems to give them comfort and I suppose you can’t blame them because focusing on events on the actual pitch would be truly painful.

Hull - the Land of Make Believe? More like the Land that Time Forgot.

Chapman the Burberrian?

 

[BarcaBlade]

Chapman the Burberrian?

Agh auto correct. *Chavman.

Two other questions.
1. Was it first gear or second gear we didn't get out of?
2. Why are Wolves fans calling us pigs?

If I’m being generous I’d say the ref waited to see how everything turned out before giving a decision but that would be generous because he was shite all day. I said it at the time though putting MGW with honeyman after the altercation with billy was smart honeyman obviously wanted a scrap and MGW just let him do it rather than engaging with it like billy but made sure it was blatant and right in front of the ref.

Just watched our third again, honeyman throws MGW to the ground as MGW just let’s him.

Billy Is tussling with Coyle, again if he’d wanted he could’ve let coyle just Chuck him over.

Brewster is also being held on the line.

Egan managed a very clever use of honeyman/MGW to get free of Wilks and gain a yard.

With Honeyman already booked he was playing a dangerous game in the box.

Yeah I think if Egan doesn’t score MGW gives the ref no choice but to award a pen and a red. It was clever play both from him but also billy to accept he wasn’t going to get anything out of battling with him and so to play to get the very blatant foul.

I presume that Hull took honeyman off Billy to reduce the risk of a red, but ironically he could’ve got it from the so called lower risk player.

As you say, clever play and good to see us creating a number of problems for hull from the corners

I’m not sure it was hulls decision. No manager who’s in charge of what his players are doing allows them to keep wrestling in the box like they were it was ridiculously reckless. Another ref on another day gives 4 or 5 pens yesterday I can’t think a professional manager would be happy with that amount of risk.

I was thinking more about Coyle suddenly taking Billy, perhaps because he’d rattled Honeyman… it was then Coyle giving Wilks a bollocking after the goal for losing Egan

Honeyman’s head was gone from the first minute he came on after the Guedioura tackle. It was a nasty one but as a pro footballer honeyman should’ve moved on and got on with his game afterwards letting it affect his whole performance was really poor from him. Hull were the least disciplined side I’ve seen for a long long time even during the league one years.

It was Fleck that challenged Honeyman, the replay on tv from the reverse angle, showed it was a nothing tackle, the type when the player, knows whats coming, twists and throws himself down, trying to make more of it, 5 minutes later when Honeyman made a late sliding tackle, got the man and not the ball, then spent five minutes arguing with the ref, that getting booked wasn't fair,,head well and truly gone, another ref would have given him another booking for protesting so much, or another for his defending at the corners.
Think the ref bottled it, very grateful he didn't have to make a decision as we scored from both corners

 

[Stevo]

A few years back Hull was named the “U.K. City of Culture”

Having been there a few time I can only assume these titles are being awarded ironically.

What next Belfast City of Peace and Tolerance ?

Fuck me, if Hull won that award Afghanistan will be named top up and coming holiday destination for 2022

 

[gordoncharles]

I need therapy after reading the Hull View From,

It was almost word for word a run-though of every game we played last season. I shall, therefore be having nightmares, suffering as I am from a variant of PTSD called CWAKPTSD

On another matter Honeyman amused me no end thanks to Sky's camerawork. Literally holding onto Sharp or whoever at every set-piece like a four year old glued to a parent's leg. And all while the ref just watched, completely clueless about what to do. No wonder Sharp was trying to beat him off (oo-er, missus) as silly as that was for an experienced bloke.

The ref just needs telling to warn a player like Honeyman once, then book him the second time, and let him know that if he's still doing it as the ball is kicked it will be a penalty. Of course, I shouldn't be having to tell a Division 2 ref how to deal with it.

Yeah you’re right got the tackles mixed up. I think the standard of officiating has been pretty poor so far this year in all the games.
