Gone to hull

-
No surprise there. The lad needs to play at that level..
-
Maybe ends the Whiteman to Hull speculation?
-
Common sense all round really as much as we don't like it. I wish him well and hope he shines. Great lad!
-
Although if I am being honest I would have preferred him to go elsewhere, even Leeds.!
-
Good luck to him
-
I wish Herbie nothing but the best but it’s heartbreaking to see him join up with that c**t of a manager.
-
That’s one New Year’s wish dashed.
:crying:
All the best, Herbie - you have been sorely missed this season.
-
I’m torn with this one. I want him to do really well and become a good player but if it helps Hull and McCann especially I’m not sure
-
The snakes doing a good job at Hull as well
-
He didn’t do a bad job here.. the only problem was him leaving the way he did and when he did..
-
He did a great job here
-

If he manages to make the playoffs on Hulls budget he could be off again
-
I posted this on another thread yesterday. Malik going to Hull is also on the cards. A bid for Whiteman is also a consideration.
-
He may as well just change their home kit to red and white hoops
-
Good luck to Herbie. Hope he does well. I too would have preferred he had gone to Leeds United or Sheffield Wednesday.
We must though remember that McCann took us to the play offs last season.
We played some cracking football, scored lots of goals and i don’t remember too many criticising him during the later part of the season when the play offs were beckoning.
He was a very good manager for us and we should not lose sight of that fact.
Also proving himself to be a very good Championship manager as Hull City are doing much better than i thought they would this season.
Yes he completely contradicted his loyalty mantra in the summer when he jumped ship and consequently made himself a villain to all Rovers fans.
But very little loyalty in football i am afraid. Money talks. Moving up a Division is too irresistible for many managers and players.
We have to accept it, move on and look forward to putting one over him in the next season or two.
-
It’s the level he needs to playing especially on loan. If Hull sell Bowen they may come calling again I hope not
-
It shows that personal relationships still count in the world of football ...Fergie and Cantona is the most outstanding example and in general many managers choose players they know already and over whom they have influence .
-
Maybe ends the Whiteman to Hull speculation?
.... but not the Hu.. . speculation ? :evil: :evil:
-
Thank God for that! At least we can move on now and free up some forum time now all the Herbivores understand that he aint coming back. Oh wait a minute - its only a loan so they may still be living in hopes that it may happen in the summer. Groan. Groan. Groan.
-
It’s hard to ignore that we are tripping over solutions to our progress like Kane or Wilks etc and we are unable to pursue them . Until we get into the Championship we have no powers of influence with players or clubs . All the club can do is tough it out year on year until we have a squad capable of promotion .
-
Classic one there arkseyrover Herbivores ! Made me chuckle anyway
You are right though he has gone - out of our grasp - and I for one will watch him as long as I can and see if he eclipses Tony Woodcock regarded as probably our best loanee ever by those of a certain age
There is a good parallel with the Herbivores because like him lots and I mean LOTS of Rovers fans thought a cheeky bid and TW would be "ours" but I couldnt see it happening as he was massively too good for us - and proved it with 42 (?) England Caps
-
Hull tend to sign their loan players with a view to a permanent deal being agreed. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with this one in the summer. I think Kane needs to leave Liverpool to progress his career.
-
As IDM said, McCann did an excellent job for us. It's the manner of his departure and Hull's underhand approach that leaves the bad taste. Kitsons.
-
Herbie & Malik are deservedly playing in the Championship which, at this stage of their careers, is the ‘right level’ for them to be playing at.
We are not a Championship club.
We cannot afford to pay players Championship wages.
Not yet....
-
No real surprise here and I don’t think we ever really stood a chance of getting him back... sentiment aside, who would Herbie even entertain the thought of playing again at this level after such a successful season last year?
I hope he does well, even if it for McCann and Hull. Really hope he kicks on with his career as the next couple of seasons could be massive fro his future.
At least it’s done and dusted now aswell and we can move on throughout January without everybody saying we are signing him etc.
-
Can’t argue with last season in both how we played and where we ended up. It was after the season ended and GM dismantling the team quoting loyalty and then doing one that irks. I can’t honestly blame him for moving on, if only he hadn’t preached first. Absolutely no respect for Hull in how they handled things. Can’t wait for a prem club to approach GM underhandedly
-
Playing for Hull today..
-
Just been watching Rotherham Vs Hull.
Christ, Hull are dreadful. Our team from last season would have played them off the park.

Very good assist from Kane for Hull's 2nd.
-
Hull are having a great season under mccann
-
Hull are having a great season under mccann
That's as mebbe. They were f**king dreadful today. Couldn't string two passes together against ten men. They ground out the result.
-
Stelling must be having an "orgasm" at the minute Oxford 0 Hartlepool 1 after 17 minutes
-
Hull City are 3 points better off than they were at the same point last season. They got exactly as far in the League Cup this season, as last season.
-
They had a disastrous second half of the season last year having been around the top 6 until the turn of the year
-
In the first half of last season in the Championship, Hull City obtained 27 points from 23 games.
In the second half of last season in the Championship, Hull City obtained 35 points from 23 games.
The performance of Hull City in the second half of last season was around 25pc better than in the first half of last season.
-
Aye
It may have been the season before, I can recall a season when they were one of favourites to go down but they started off really well but then dropped like a stone and only just stayed up
-
Hull are having a better season than I thought to be honest. I’ve seen them twice this season and wasn’t very impressed, but they do know how to grind out a result. They’re very reliant on Bowen who may be going to Villa this month. We all know GM is a good manager though, even if he is an unscrupulous tosser.
-
It will be interesting if Bowen and Grosiki leave this window also. See Eaves (one from the list) got hatrick against league one club. Could be here had GM stayed

Did Hull play an under usual strength team today.
If so, perhaps that is why they weren’t too clever.

micture but did leave there 2 best players on the bench for 1st hour or so
-
Grosiki Is out of contract this summer. Idd be very surprised if a lower Prem side of team from abroad don’t go for him
-
Looks like he's played his last game for Hull , out for 3 months with Ankle ligament injury.
-
That's sad to hear. Football can be a very harsh game!
-
As Reece James may well be reflecting on this morning.
We’ve had our share over the years.
Alick, Alan Brown, Ray Deans, Kevin McKintyre (right spelling?), Sean McDaid, Jermaine McSporran......
-

Alick, Alan Brown, Ray Deans....anymore?
Good call - Stuart Beattie was another
-
Alan Warboys finished with an injury didn’t he.?
Willie Boyd.. Sean McDaid..
-
Alan Little was never the same player after he did his cruciate ligament.
I still wince thinking about the one. Near the touchline on the Main Stand side, just outside the Cowsheds End box. He turned and his lower leg didn't because his studs caught in the turf. I swear I heard a crack as his knee ligaments went but that might be an embellishment on a 40 year old horror story.

Went to modify the post IDM as I could picture McSporran going down the night he dislocated his knee but couldn’t bring his name to mind ( I remember it being an ‘unusual’ one!) so you beat me to the punch with McDaid.

It isn’t Billy as I did mine in exactly the same way although I was playing rugby, it was a sevens tournament and 4 games were being played, they all stopped when it happened as they thought someone had just fired a shotgun. If anything you are probably playing down what you heard.
-
Thanks for that DVR! I won't sleep tonight.
-
Mike Jeffrey another player who was never the same after a bad injury.
-
Did Ian Measham break his neck?
-
Broke A BONE in his neck.

Mine was the same. Went with a right crack. Scared the crap out off me.

Yer gret bunch of jessies. I never had any football injury like that. I put it down to being built from granite. Our kid would claim it's because I was the neshest left back in the Dearne Sunday League.
I did once score two goals in a match after breaking my arm. I'd fallen heavily on a frozen pitch and thought I'd sprained my wrist. Hurt like buggery. We'd used all our subs so I got stuck out on the wing just holding my arm close to my chest and booting the ball away whenever it came near me. The defence realised I was no use (in fairness, they ought to have spotted that at kick-off) and left me alone. Then twice in 5 mins, we launched the ball out of defence and I was left unmarked to run through and score from the edge of the box. Went to A&E after the match and found I'd cracked my radius, just up from the wrist. So clearly not THAT nesh.

Was'nt it a broken bone in the neck that ended Bruno Jones career? Steve Brooker,Kevin Horlock although I think they was like McSporran,somewhat injury prone before joining us.

Iodine?

I was at Torquay that day Ian Measham got injured, it wasn’t the worst of fouls he just seem to land funny

Yes it was. He was injured around the same time as Johnny Muir and our front line disappeard in the blink of an eye. I don’t think either of them played much afterwards. For a few years later I used to see Bruno occasionally in Bawtry. Even with a bad neck I wouldn’t have messed with him.,

Apparently did his neck in getting into an altercation in Park Lane.

He should’ve made it clear he wanted to join us, .....fate has a way of kicking back....he would look great in our current set up
