Went to see the lads today and it was one of those games in which the best you could say about it was that we got the 2 points.
Mind you, they say its the sign of a good team when the performance is a bit off colour but you still get the result.
Looking on the bright side, at one point in the match we had 9 local lads playing for us.
Not many teams in many sports could boast that nowadays.
Our next game is a week on Thursday, away at St Helens. I'll be going as I've swapped nights at work.
Ofcourse far be it for me to tempt fate, but if I go away we usually do ok, maybe its some sort of psychic influence.
Or Psycho some would say........... :)

Post #24......Oh Dear....
The Mighty Whites lost on Sunday, unfortunately we weren't so mighty at all. All the more disappointing was that although Watford deserved to win, and good luck to em, they weren't all that good to be honest.
We should have beaten em at a canter, but hey, the sporting world is full of 'should haves'
Next year we'll be stronger for this, you mark my words :)
Anyway, back to the rugby on Sunday with a home game against Huddersfield. The lads should be nice and rested after our free weekend as Challenge Cup games were played.
Oh, and on a conciliatory note, well done Rovers on reaching the quarter finals. They have a hard draw against Warrington, and I wish them well. Really I do. Honest. :)

Whaheyyyy!!!
Yet another fab result for the Fc! 28-44 away at Headingley. It was a marvellous performance, especially in the 1st half. we literally blew them away with some marvellous attacking play.
We're really playing some VERY pretty Rugby League at the moment.
After the match was a bit of a messing about though. We lost our coach. Apparently the helpful local Gendarmes and moved it on. So as a result we spent about an hour looking for the thing! We werent the only one too, on our travels we passed another group of fans who had lost their bus as well!
My eldest daughter will be going to study at Leeds University later this year and will be living not far from the ground. So if it happens again, we'll be able to pop for a cuppa!

When I was 13 I fell in love with Norman 'Bites your legs' Hunter, and from then on I've always followed Leeds United. Hull Fc are my first love ofcourse, but if we are talking about the round ball game the Mighty Whites are for me. I tried Hull City, I really did, but I think a team picks you, you dont pick the team, and so Leeds Utd it was.
The last couple of years have I really taken some stick. I work in a pub and the season Leeds were relegated from the Premiership, I'd bet my shirt with a regular ( a Man Yooo fan) that we wouldnt go down. I lost. So what the bugger did was cut my shirt up and placed the badge in a frame with the addage 'Leeds Utd, go down, 2004' Its behind the bar now on the wall.
Yesterday we got to the Play off final to get back into the Premiership.
We win, that bleedin' thing goes in the bin!!

Well I have to gloat about this, just incase a certain blogger looks in.
We beat the Bulls 28-12!
It was a fantastic game, really tough, and a fabulous advert for rugby league. It was a shame Sky didnt cover it. We really seem to have picked up a pace and last night I was very proud to be a Hull fan!!
I also stayed up last night and watched the re-run of the Wigan-Castleford game. Wigan lost again. They're in really deep trouble and I for one cant see Brian Noble turning things around with that lot! Especially when he's picked some of em for the GB training squad, (one hasnt even played this season as well) Which just goes to show what a nincompoop he is. This is a personal view ofcourse, and what do I know? (Nout I hear you cry!!)
What will be more and more interesting is will the RL 'LET' Wigan go down?? I can see some creativeness with the relegation rules in the future. Lets see what happens shall we?

Well, its far too early for me to be up (its about 6.15am) but I just woke up about 5am and could not get back to sleep. I listened to the radio to find out about how the local elections went. Labour dont seem to have done very well, but ofcourse they'll spin it as a blip and just go on there merry way. I saw some dimwit on TV last night saying it was mid term blues, how can it be 'mid-term' when the government were only elected last year??
All governments wear a bit thin after a while, but this lot have been such a dissapointment. They seem to have completely left behind what the Labour party was created for: the ordinary working man. A case in point is how Blair has so blindly followed George Bush. Bush ofcourse is a madman, but you could argue that Blair is worse, as he seems to be an intelligent man.
Anyway, on to more important things. The other men in my life, Hull Fc, are at home to the Bradford Bulls. It will be a good gauge on how well weve improved of late. We owe dem Bulls a drubbing!!

I was a little worse for the wear today, as hubby and I went out last night. It has to be said I had one too many! Anyway, I got myself down to the KC to watch the lads, and I'm glad I did. Smashing display. Especially in the 1st half. The final score was 54-12.
Wigan have major probs, it looks like they dont want to know, which just isn't good enough when near on 2000 fans have bothered to travel across the country to support you!!
Now many years ago, when I turned 18, (Queen Victoria was on the throne I believe!) I remember when it was election time, my Nana rang me up. She reminded me how important it was to vote. Especially us women, she said, as ladies had chained themselves to railings and one threw herself under the Kings racehorse to get us the vote. I replied I would vote, and her parting remark was ' and I dont care who you vote for Mandy, as long as its Labour'
For quite a few years I did, untill Tony Blair became leader. There was just something about him I didnt like. I remember my Dad playing merry hell with me when I told him I hadn't voted Labour at that election.
So I was amazed to hear that my Dad (both my parents have already voted by post) has not voted Labour in the council elections.
If someone like my Dad hasn't voted Labour, theyre in big trouble on Thursday, and I for one wont weep for 'em.
