Whereas people do remember teams who concede 50 points in a final without scoring themselves.

When have I said we have a team of superstars?

Keep it up Toader you will receive acknowledgment from your boss lady. Forgot 2013? Nil is Nil. Still was an achievement getting there in the context of where we had come from and I enjoyed the whole run including the final as a fan purely because I never thought I'd see it. Leeds were red hot.We mostly froze.It happens against Leeds in semis and finals.They know how to win. Looking back on Saints 45 Hulk 0 I'm fairly sure it's the 0 that hurts more than the margin? Or maybe I don't have blinkers on ?

Well said young fella I take it you was not around to see rovers win in 1980 brill day but I have been to Wembley 27 times 20 for the challenge cup 90% were brill 10% wish I did not go the other 7 were England or Great Britain which were great

I was 6 when we won that game. Saw them at the end of the glory days but mainly it's been a struggle til Hudge and Morgan. Think that's why I'm still relatively a happy fan?The CC final and the MPG were hard to take in many ways but as a group I think we as Rovers fans are more grateful for what we have than some others? I truly believe we will improve year on year and harsh lessons have been learnt at all levels of the club.We will be fine

It didn't happen to Hull against leeds in last year's semi. We mullered them. No one cares about losing at magic weekend last year

I was there in 1980 and it definitely wasn't brill. I think your memories of the day are wrong

That wasn't my point. It was little innocent HR taking a cheap shot whilst ignoring his own teams feat. Milton Keynes have also been nilled and well defeated in important games contrary to popular belief
