Keith you have jusy decribed yourself.

That is exactley what you do, every day on here.

No, I’m very happy. Following a club making progress. Enjoying all our matches even when we lose as I know we have competed. The wins are much better of course. The annihilations as on Friday are extra special. Do not confuse my jibes as sour grapes, those tend to come from the supporters of losing clubs. You should be appreciating that at the moment. This is the third season you have been the second club in the City. We finished lower than we should have done last year due the unfortunate actions of our then coach. We were in a playoff spot before the wheels fell off. Due to the great team spirit amongst the players and the coaching of Mags and Co we were able to recover somewhat and still give you a thrashing on your patch and finish above you. Our team spirit, enthusiasm and skill amongst the players, the up-to date coaching methods employed by Willie Peters are things FC supporters can only dream about. That is the difference between our two clubs. Never in decades of supporting Rovers, even in bankruptcy have any of our teams not shown team spirit and pride. I generally feel sorry for the supporters of teams at or near the foot of the table as we all know how upsetting and difficult that is. In FC’s case however that feeling changes to delight after having to endure the jibes from a “big” club. Long may your misery continue.

Enjoy it Keith because history tells me your period of "dominace" never ever lasts long. I mean we keep hearing that your club is on the up and we are light years behind you on and off the pitch. Yet our academy taught yours a lesson this weekend, youve made one final appearance this last decade and your meassure of success is buolt on a club that sits 11th and not first.

Make no bones about it Rovers are a good team but you are not making progress, Hull are just getting worse.

So bitter

You know Hull will always be the bigger club and it kills you. Enjoy your current run of "success" and try imagining how good it feels to celebrate your club winning a trophy or two rather than being temporarily less poop than the local rivals.

Readings things into my post again. Of course being above you is normally important as I’m sure you would be happier if the situation was reversed. However we are aiming as a first step to get into the playoffs. As we showed two years ago it is possible to progress from there. Let’s face it at the moment being above FC is no achievement at all.

History should also tell you that history does not always repeat itself. Remember Ferguson’s comments about Man City that came back to bite him in the bum. I’m not saying the same will happen but in view of your parlous financial state you may not want to put your hard cash on it.

Only an FC fan would deny that we are making progress. Most pundits, ex players and officials seem to think otherwise. Still if saying that makes you feel better, good luck to you. We do agree on one thing though FC are just getting worse. From memory even a worse squad than the last time you were relegated.

That’s a big smile for someone supporting a team that’s 11th out of 12 in the table and has just been trounced 0-40 at home.

Playing the best rugby of his career. Played very well on year loan at Wakey but reverted to average when back with you. I was not impressed when we signed him but played well under Smith and moved up a gear this season under Peters. You may scoff but he is playing better than anyone in you pack at the moment. It must be very hard to raise a smile at the moment and your only pleasure is to get a dig at someone else.

Hadley is bang average

Your coach did not think so, nor does our new coach. Still what do they know compared to Thetalentboy?

I couldnt care less about KR to be honest with you, Id like to beat you in a derby but I know that just being better then you wont be enough or hasnt being enough for a good 95 percent of my time supporting FC over the last 30 years to wet my appetite.

If you not being considered relegation candidates anymore is progress then so be it. I cant help but feel you think your better then you actually are due to our current situation.

I mean we need to talk facts here, youll never attract home game crowds over 15000 no matter how good you are. It wasnt that long ago you had to beg for an academy license. It wasnt that long ago Hudgell spat his dummy out or you got relegated.

History should tell you one thing, nothing good lasts forever. If KR as a club get over there obsession at just wanting to beat FC and finish above them then you could start to compete for honours. I cant help but feel though most KR fans will be happy with this season knowing your main priority is achieved. Ask any player whose played for KR in SL and they will tell you what the main goal is.
