I was proud of the lads last night.We gave em a hell of a game, but unfortunately lost 12-8.
Another chance next week though, at home against either Bradford Bulls or Warrington Wolves, who play tonight.
Come on lads, one more push and we can raise the roof at Old Trafford!!!

Feeling sorry for myself.
And I am, feeling sorry for myself.
I have the misfortune to have had osteo-arthritis in both knees for quite a while now. But the last couple of years it has got worse, so I was sent to have some gel injections yesterday. The aim is to re-cushion the knee joint, and help with the pain.
It wasnt a fun experience I must admit, and while I was there I learned that it is a course of 3 sets of injections. the other two being next Friday and the Friday after.
Now, the thing is, you have to keep off your feet when you have these for the rest of the day. I was all set to go to St Helens to watch my beloved Hull FC in the playoffs, ticket was bought and coach seat was booked. Now I cant go! At least its on TV.
The thing is to, with us ending up 2nd in the league, we go to play the league leaders. The winner goes straight through to the Grand final. The loser has another try and plays at home to the team that gets through the rest of the playoffs. So if we do loose our next game will be the Friday after.........so I'll miss that again!!! Well, I might risk it. At least I can sit at a home game, at St Helens It would be standing after a long coach trip.
Anyway, I cheered myself up watching this video on you tube
Ooo and Leeds United winning this aftie cheered me up too!

Feline Friends
On one of my 1st blog posts I mentioned my cats and that I would post some photos of them in the future. Well it's taken me nearly a year but here they are.I have 3 cats. Jess (black & white) and Lolly (white & grey) are brother and sister and are about 11 yrs old. We had decided to let the girls have a cat and had gone to a friend of my husbands sister, who had some kittens. Ofcourse they both chose different ones, so we ended up with 2!
My eldest daughter came home for about 8 months and brought her cat with her. Now she has moved to Leeds to start University and left her cat. (the black one) He's called Chibi (which roughly means 'little one' in Japanese) He's nothing like his name though, I always thought Jess was a big cat, but Chibi is huge! He's 3, so a bit younger than the others. So there you have it, my feline friends!

The Big 25
Today I'm going to blow my own trumpet, as it is my Silver Wedding Anniversary. Yes, 25 years married to a Rovers fan!People always say how do you stay married for so long, and to be honest I haven't a clue. You sort of stumble about from day to day and another year has gone by before you know it! :)
I think with us though, is no matter how much we have got on each others nerves, or how bad things have gotton (and believe me they have) theres just something there that keeps us together.
Must be love eh?
:o)

It'll be alright on the night.
Well Hull FC have lost their last two matches. We went down to Warrington last Sunday, and to Wigan tonight.
We were off the boil on Sunday, but could have won it near the end of the match, tonight though was a little different. First half we was completely muscled out, I wasn't pleased. There's one thing taking things easy as it was a 'nothing' game for us leading up to the play offs, but you have to keep ticking over, and we just wasn't.
Second half was better. I have this theory about the team and the fans, they interlock. I've seen the fans pull the team up from their bootlaces before today and its a sight to behold. I think its because we can get into their earshot, especially when they've let a try in and they stand behind the posts for the conversion kick. If the fans are near them then, you can really lift them. Its a good feeling. Maybe it works because we have a lot of local lads in the team.
Tonight it started to happen again, the fans really got going, and the team responded, and played quite well in the last quarter, just too late to have an impact on the game though.
I tell you this, in a fortnight's time when we go to St Helens, and a win will take us to Old Trafford. The fans will be there, and the team WILL turn up.
Amen to that!
I hope Leeds United start to pull it around tomorrow, they've gone behind Hull City!!!
Come on Leeds!!!

21 Tomorrow
No, not me! (although I was a child bride!)
My youngest Kirsty is 21.
I posted last month about my eldest daughter turning 23 and how it makes you feel old. Well, when your baby turns 21 it makes you feel older!
Anyway, Happy Birthday Kirsty!!!

Mauled!
Yes I'm afraid both Hull FC and Leeds Utd lost this afternoon.
This morning I thought I would die, as I had far too much to drink last night at the party.
But I pulled myself around and ended up having a nice day, was lovely and sunny! Just watched the lads loose lol.
But were 2nd, cant be caught now, our highest ever placing in Superleague. Ofcourse we're in a false league position, arent we Stevo? :)
In case anyone doesn't know who Stevo is, he's a Rugby pundit on Sky TV, and oh yes......nuts!

Wolves and Wolves....
I'll be having a busy weekend (yet again) Tomorrow night we're at a pals 40th birthday party. Then I have to be up early Sunday morning as my brother and I are off on the 'Fun Bus' To watch Hull FC play Warrington Wolves. 10 am set off, so we can have a few pints before the game. I'm on holiday for the next couple of weeks, so seeing I'm not at work on Sunday night I can go off on my travels! With a win we are sure of 2nd place, and set up for a play off tilt. Come on you Hull!!!
You maybe wondering what the title of this post means, well, its one of those little coincidences. As I mentioned Hull Fc are playing the Warrington Wolves, and Leeds Utd are playing Wolverhampton (nickname wolves) I'm hoping both suffer heavy defeats! :)

Busy weekend.
Well. Number 2 daughter came back home yesterday, a month after daughter number 1 moved out again. Gawd, the stuff she's brought with her!!!
When for the 1st time both my daughters had left home, about a year ago it was, I was really depressed, thinking that they wouldn't need me anymore. But no, they keep coming back. At least my youngest didn't bring a pet with her, like my eldest did, Chibi the cat is still here!
Hull FC scraped out a win against Le Catalans this afternoon 26-12. The first half was very poor, but we had a much improved 2nd half and pulled away for the win.
One more win either next week at Warrington, or the week after at Wigan, will see us finish in second.
Then the fun stuff begins!

Right on the button.
I've always been interested in American Politics, maybe because what happens there can effect us in the UK so much. (Which is very true at this present time)
So, I do watch some American newscasts. One of my favourites was a programme that we only could watch on Friday nights over here on CNBC (Its shown every weekday in the US) Called Countdown with Keith Olbermann. He covers the top 5 stories of the day with some wit it must be said. Unfortunately CNBC decided to stop showing this programme for infomercials instead!
Anyway now, I follow Keith by watching clips of his show online.
Just now and again, when something gets his goat, he does a commentary giving his opinion. His last one was aimed at the US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, but also had a wider look at how people who dissent against the government in the US are branded traitors and even facists. We have similar things here with Blair, looking as if he's listening to other points of view, then just going on his merry way, doing as he bloody well likes! He is right and everyone else is wrong.
Anyway, I wont go on (because believe me I can!) But I was so impressed with Keith Olbermann's commentary I'm going to post a link to it here. It was bloody damn refreshing to see someone with a bit of eloquence putting over a point.
