Old Frightful

I feel for the blokes who stand down Wembley Way flogging those scarves with both the competing clubs' names on them...

Did the B52s sing about one of them?

This is part of, what must be, the most interesting topic for discussion available. Aside from the whole "alien" subject to muse about, I find it enormously interesting just staring at the night sky wondering. A question often asked is "How big is the Universe?". Well, here on Earth, everything is limited, how long people live, how long our fellow creatures live, how long our natural resources will last, etc. So what if the Universe has no limits or end of life, we simply cannot comprehend anything without limits. I find it extraordinary that, when I look at the brightest stars in the sky, I'm actually looking at them as they were tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago...or longer. They are so distant that the light from them, even travelling at 186,000 miles per second, has taken years to reach us. And when it comes to the nearest galaxy to our own Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy that is visible to the naked eye, when we look at it we are seeing it as it was two and a half million years ago. I need a lie down now...

Edited, etc...

I saw that on Facebook and assumed it was a wind up! With Middlesbrough having only a few day’s preparation, will Hull City now be favourites?

Hope he has success there. He deserves it, a top bloke and very honourable man.

Hull FC were honouring John Cartwright’s contract until the end of this season to allow him to remain in the UK as part of his visa conditions. They’ve now announced that they’ve ended his contract to give him the opportunity to take a job at another SL club. Anyone know anyfink?

Trust me, there's nowt good at all being a Hull fan right now.

Perhaps the RFL have had a gander at our recent results and thought a bit of leniency was warranted...

Absolutely, I wouldn't have been too upset had Bourough been penalised for that. I hate that sort of professionalism sh*t.

Deservedly so as well...what in gawds name was he thinking? A similar mindset to Adan Sezer's captain's challenge..lunacy!

We are amateurish at best.

Probably an afternoon where everyone watching will have wished they’d done summat else when the final hooter goes…

It was obviously a yellow card. It was a blatant attempt at preventing the play the ball hoping to prevent another chance for Leigh before half time. Do you seriously think Lewis was considering all the options as he held the player down?

What amused me was the look of confusion on his face and the subsequent head shake. It was about as clear a sin binning as you could wish to see.
