Hull City thread

Psst, JJ is injured and probably won't play - but don't tell Frankie

turner, campbell folan  = 3 nil!

good game - early goal (40 odd seconds) from the big centre back from a great free kick by Richard (Andy) Garcia and then a second from Campbell which seemed a bit poxy, although I will give him the benefit of the doubt.  Sending off seemed a bit harsh, although I didn't see it clearly.  Forlan then scored with about 10 or 15 to go, although Hull would have got a pen if he missed as he was fouled just prior to shooting.

cheers frankie, you do realise that you were one of the 23,000 most honoured people on the planet don't you??

We don't have a game until 12th April against QPR followed by Yorkshire Derby's against Barnsley and Sheffield United. These three games will determine our fate. West Brom have a tough game against Cardiff tomorrow night and could so easily slip up (I hope).

Sorry ColU couldnt quite help by beating WBA. We did try (2-0 up then 3-2 up).

Good luck with run in.

yep, OpreW your lot gave it a huge go, shame for both of us that it didn't fall into place

watched the highlights that I recorded yesterday - Campbell deserved a bit more credit than I originally gave him for his goal, doing well to deflect the shot in.  The sending off was harsh, although by that time the game was well away from Watford.

Rennie is not well liked in Hull - on a number of occasions he's given some bad uns against us

And....it's Deano's 39th birthday today! He is the third oldest to play for Hull City and will become the oldest if he plays in 6 months time.

who are the two oldest Austiger?? tigers2008-04-01 14:38:30

Sensational report on Hull City Online site that Phil Brown secured the signature of Juventus under 19 international Gianluca Forllapio currently on loan at Brescia where he has scored 26 goals in 17 starts. Apparently there were a few Premier League, Serie A and La Liga Clubs after the very pacy, natural scorer but Phil was in the right place at the right time as Gianluca had fallen out with Juventus Management and signed on a free making him available to play immediately.

yeh Hessnetahler was the one i was on about (from Gillingham i think)

West Brom in a scoreless draw against Cardiff so we are still 3rd but Brom have another game in hand. With an FA Cup Semi-Final this weekend though the pressure would have to be on them as well as Barnsley who we have to play yet. This has been a great season for the CCC and it's not over yet.

yep, OT that draw was a good result

good that Soton beat Bristol tigers2008-04-06 11:32:28

I would expect the following from the mid-week matches effecting us:

it seems a pretty volatile division, so scores seem hard to predict (e.g Col U beatin Ipswich) tigers2008-04-08 10:26:21

blackpool 1-0 up v WBA, 66 th min

but wba win 3-1, not so good but City can still go up in second place - it's all in our own hands at this stage!tigers2008-04-09 09:25:23

1 win and Hull are top! Awesome!

So now all the Yellow Fever fans of Championship clubs swing in behind our friends at Hull. Good luck from ColU fans.....not long to wait to find out your fate!!

It's awesome alright but we must appreciate that we are where we are with an awful lot of luck. The new owners decided to consolidate this year with a 'mid-table' position being the target. Our 'million pound' signing Caleb Folan appears to have been born injured. We have been led by what has been described by other CCC Clubs as a ' fat, snail-paced, old, potato-headed, has-been' (Dean Windass) but who has managed to contribute his fair share of goals. Richard Garcia has suffered illness and bereavement in his family resulting in visits back to Australia which must have affected his game let alone his personal life yet he has performed exceptionally well. The loan-in of Frazier Campbell has been a touch of genius and inspiration for the side. Couple this with the fact that our rivals are starting to feel the strain and are dropping points they never should, and the 'fairy-tale' ending to the quest for the 'promised land' is within sight.

cheers OpreW and LG,

Barnsley won today 3-0 at Twatford and Col U are down barring Wednesday lossing the rest of their games 4-0! Sorry to beak the bad news.

Looking a bit serious now. Will try and get to the Barnsley game on Tuesday if I can. Very cold over here. I miss the sun

wrap up warm and shout loud!!

City drew 1-1 with QPR, got the equaliser on  90 mins (Turner)

1 win away from top spot. Lonegunmen2008-04-15 15:24:17

halftime, 1-0 to the Tigers

i hope you enjoyed that toffeeman!

watched the game on sky - another impressive win for Hull.

Hull are running really hot right now. I'm glad we got a point off them. definately the form team in the division.

Hull's Ricard Garcia has received 'call-up' papers from Pim Verbeek to play in the Socceroo's summer matches. Richard is responding well to a shoulder injury at present.

I hear Brown and Turner are both doubtful for the trip to Bramhall Lane
