Hello, I thought it was about time I updated this. What with Facebook and Twitter and everything else since I stopped work I haven't had the time lol.
I started this clog primarily for updates on my beloved Hull FC, so here goes:
Hame Lauaki is still in bloody New Zealand, no visa has appeared yet! For next season we have signed St Helens scrum half Sean Long, Forward Craig Fitzgibbon and full back Jason Tandy, both from the Sydney Roosters (although Jason is English so not on the quota) All this is very encouraging and a sign the board is starting to spend some of the money they make off us so well. But, it does seem to telegraph to the fans, that this season can go whistle Dixie when we are only half way through! We have had to sit through some utter dross after the first 5 winning games, culminating at Leeds just over a week ago, when our scrum half, Chris Thorman, buggered up the whole game himself. I have never seen such a incompetent performance from a Hull FC player in the way he sabotaged the whole performance. Of course that is because of his pivotal role in the team. It will be interesting to see if he plays tonight against St Helens. Craig Hall has not been near the team since his awful run at Full Back, a position he was not used too, but put there because there was no one else. He was terrible there, but the coach decided to put him in the position. He was dropped, will Mr Thorman be dropped tonight? He may get a roasting from the fans if he does play. We are very fair, but when we think someone is taking the mick, we can be vicious.
Now I called this post Odds and Sods, so lets go onto the Sods.
Can you believe the shenanigans that is going on in Parliament at the mo?. The MP expenses revelations have been jaw dropping at times and just goes to show how things REALLY need to change. But what I fear is that we'll just have a General Election, the Tories will get in, and everything will go on as it always has. We will, also I believe, see Mr David (cuddly) Cameron's real suit of clothes. I would be very surprised indeed if he turned out to be anything new when in government.
The Labour Party are reaping what they have sown in my opinion. As I write Gordon Brown is in a lot of bother with Ministers resigning one after the other. There is talk the leader may change, but I think Mr Brown will hang on as long as he can. He seems the type to tough it out.
What is interesting is that the Conservatives are calling for a General Election, which they would most probably win, but would they comfortably? The way the public are so angry about all the expenses palaver I would hope they would turn from both of them and go independent. For once we have a real bit of power in our hands, if there is a General Election!
As I write this I'm listening to Sky News and it has been announced that my MP Alan Johnson, who's constituency contains the KC stadium has been given the post of Home Office minister. Bloody typical! Too late to help us with the Crocker visa!
BLAH!
