I was going to send this via IM to Obi, but what the hell, might as well make it public. Dunno why I'm feeling so loved up today, must be the 4 hours in direct sunlight! Obi, plus in fact a few others (you know who you are), Was just chatting to someone on here I've had "incidents" with on here, and realised I needed to apologise to you for some of my comments I've made recently directed at you, which if I'm honest, I always felt slightly ashamed of and I regretted almost as soon as I posted them. I think this name change has made some of us, and me for sure, lose sight of what's really important, and that's Hull City. I've been watching us play for years, and my missus was genuinely anti football before yesterday. Even if I watch owt on the tele, she'd get narky with me because she told me it stressed her out seeing me the way I am with football. Yesterday was a revelation for me, I expected her to whinge the entire day or at least get the hump over something, but she never did. Not once. Not even when we got to our seats at 14:15 or with the bastard sun being in our faces right up until the 90th minute when it sank enough for shade for the 3 mins of ET lol. Her comment about how amazing it was to see, experience and be part of 28kish Hull City fans who were completely united (seems we managed to miss the pockets of trouble lol) was something she'd never seen, she said she gets it now and this made me think. I'm gutted my dad wasn't up to the day out, we had a right good natter about it when I got home, but the reaction of my missus to the day made me up and my dad thought it was brilliant too. I've only ever seen Hull through my eyes, seeing it through hers made me appreciate it all the more. We all react to certain posters on here, and I admit I am guilty of trying to wind other people up on purpose (some others do that too!), but the whole name change thing, I'm genuinely tired of it now. I am going to stop responding to any threads about it, what will be will be, we're going to Wemberleeee and I'll leave it to the people who passionately want to affect it one way or the other. I know I've been a bit of a twat with some posts, and I still disagree with some of the methods employed by both sides. I've met and chatted to folks on here that you'd never think Id get on with, and I'm quite certain if we ever met up, we'd get on fine. The bottom line is, we're all part of the Tiger Nation and in fact just coming from Hull marks us out as special. As wise men often say, we are Ull. All of us. So apologies for acting like an arse on occasion on here, it won't be happening again. Apart from Chazz. He's fair game.
Kinell, there seems to have been a road to Damascus conversion. Before you know it, patty will posting something intelligent. Only joking. Fair play anyway HT.
Apology accepted. Some of your posts I found funny (ie I got your joke). I always took your views seriously as there are many people thinking the same. Your latter posts went over my head as my office is to be closed. We had three weeks notice from review to closure. A lot of my colleagues could be out of a job come September so my mind was elsewhere. It seems I have something else to campaign about, no rest for the wicked. I have been offered home working, so my personal decision is slightly easier. I'm really pleased your wife finally got it. My wife already had it. She took a photo of her dad and great uncle to Wembley. Her great uncle missed playing for City in the 1930 semi-final by one season, he retired in 1929. I'll be taking a photo of my mother to the Cup Final. She was my introduction into the Tiger Nation. The name change to me was always about us. Its our name, its our heritage and its our community, we're all part of the Tiger Nation. Bring on Arsenal, we have a score to settle after the way we lost in 1930.
I missed out on a 5 star hotel?! Could be why I don't like being told what to do now you mention it...in the RAF an order is an invitation for everyone to gather round and have their say, all views welcome and treated equally, not something acted on without any question or thought like in the Army and Navy...
To be fair, Happy, yesterday was an emotional melting pot for so many. I will be driving back to Hull tomorrow to say tarrah to my Mum; she passed away ten days ago and I know she would have told me to go yesterday, as she was an Airlie Bird and did Wembly for decades, just for the fun and the atmosphere - it's a rugby thing. She also supported in in all of my sporting choices - my strongest memory was her preparing my sister's fancy dress for the Chelsea Cup game in 66, a proper family event. **** happens, some is worth fighting, some isn't. Welcome back.
This love in won't last. Wait a day or so for the endorphines to be out of the system then expect battle lines to be drawn again.
Oh ho, is that what you were plying Filey with, some filthy drugs?! Shame on you Charlie, shame on you!
Did you just call me a ho? I never touched Filey honest. He is the nicest person you could ever wish to meet. Lovely lovely fella.
