Should be a comfortable fc win. 

Can't wait to play spot the full set of teeth in the home stand this weekend. 

Is that what the booing is? They're actually trying to whistle but can't

Will you put it in your trophy cabinet, I'm sure there'll be plenty of room for it.

They're going to have to find somewhere else to host their website though.

Well it fitted in last year and the year before I'm sure it would fit in again.

And if you'd won it anytime during the last 36 years prior to that it would easily have fitted in seeing as your trophy cabinet, as usual, was pretty much empty every year.

Anyway looking forward to this game before we go to watch Fev. My heart says KR but my head says FC hopefully a good Hull derby ( the PROPER derby game). 

[MZH]

No Sutcliffe or Savelio for Hull, both big blows. Hoy and Taylor are back and Dwyer is on the bench. 

[MZH]

Between this game and England's current run chase to keep the ashes alive I'm going to a bag of nerves for most of the afternoon.

[MZH]

Clearly a knock on by Walker in the build up to that. Had his back to the Hull line and dragged it towards himself.

[MZH]

Awful start from Hull. Errors, dumb penalties, soft tackling. We need to switch on.

[bobbruce]

Drives me mad that why did Lewis kick the penalty backwards. If he walks the tap backwards the defenders have to stay where they are. 

[MZH]

Not played at? 

[MZH]

We look absolutely dreadful.

[MZH]

We should have taken the 2. That's the only way we are avoiding another nilling today. Our attack is shamboloic.

An improvement from Easter then.

The worst thing about that half is that Rovers have probably been even worse than us, and yet we haven't created a single opportunity.

I'm not sure it has been tbh. The difference is Rovers were really good that day, today they've been shocking too.

[MZH]

I think Young Jack Walker just closed his eyes and hoped for the best there. Great work from Cam Scott and Swift did the rest. Hopefully we kick on now.

Is there a more consistently disappointing game than the Hull derby? Great atmosphere and I always look forward to it then end up losing interest within 5 minutes. 

[Hull Kingston Bronco]

Oh look, Hull FC fans managing to throw bottles of drink *up* from the terrace in front of our West Stand seats, into the seats. Such a shock.

I’m sure those of us on here who went on about the opposite event last time, so certain were they that Rovers fans were uniquely bad, will be rushing to condemn these events

Christ on a bike, this is a terrible game. Low skill levels, endless errors, low scoring. Really tedious stuff.

Rovers have 6 of the first team out, 2nd stringers and loan players on show. This is Hull FCs first choice side. I think we can draw the appropriate conclusions. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Following some very iffy head high calls SKD remi ds us whst a proper head shot looks like.

[Barry Badrinath]

Lewis deffo kicked that

6-6 at the moment proves that Rovers 2nd  stringers aren't that bad then.
