Credit where credit's due - that Celtic try was a nice try. Any fan of the game as a whole would admire it. I reserve the right to applaud GOOD rugby. Perhaps if Agar started making sure his team played good rugby the fans might get behind them more.
It is not only costly to watch FC, but it also demands lots of time and energy. I have wasted a night watching the dullest game of RL I've ever seen this evening. Can he give me my three hours back? No.
I give that club my time and money and I expect something in return - entertainment.
Instead I feel like I'm doing community service for a crime I didn't commit.
Agar's comments deserve nothing but the fans' contempt. After all, he is treating the fans with the same contempt by saying these things in public in the first place.
I applauded celtic after their try why, cause they were playing with passion and committment aswell as trying to play rugby. Similar when we played salford in the CC. We should be the team playing attractive rugby and stream rolling these sides. In my eyes we have hit rock bottom. !!!

So what if we think SOME of the players aren't giving there all, do we address that by taking ourselves down to their level?
And what about the players who ARE doing their best for the club, irrespective of whether they are playing well or struggling for confidence and form, or even playing with injuries.
It's not going to encourage people to want to play for Hull FC is it? Or indeed encourage pride and loyalty in those who already do play for us.
I cheered, I also called them naughty names, I drove home 2 days early from my holiday to watch them yet again under-perform and at times run up their own backsides.
If anyone thinks THAT performance is/was acceptable then that's not 'support' that is blind faith to the extreme.

That's exactly how I saw it, that and the fact that a team that gives their all yet only have 14 fans at the game deserved to be applauded.
Whilst I wanted us to win, I really felt we robbed the poor buggers in the end.

Think it's been blown abit of proportion tbh, nevertheless Agar should have kept his gob shut. He's quick to criticise when we get on the team's back, yet struggles to mutter a positive word when the fans deserve some praise (last week for example). I just dont think any of them give a f*ck about the fans, that includes players, coaches, the board etc, which is sad really considering the amount of money we pump into the club, and obviously the tremendous support we provide week in week out.
I have tried and supported him, I have not blamed him for all our obvious problems, his weird substitutions, his loans to other teams and I was supporting him for next season.
He has set himself up for the chop, turning on fans is the last straw and he is now on borrowed time. No way back after this outburst he crossed the line and the faithful will NEVER forgive him for that.
The board has now no choice, he goes or they will lose thousands of passholders next term.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;
"Were all frustrated and it's a tough time. We have got a nervous team that is low on confidence and it's not helping"
Listen you f*cking idiot, the team is low on confidence because they have no leader, they have no leader because you are out of your depth, you are out of your depth because you do not have the ability to coach a team at this level. The rugby we play is p*ss poor and it IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to sort this.
I am not sure if it is a lack of intelligence or plain ignorance but take a look in the mirror, then leave my club alone.

Agar is a 'dead man walking'!!
His stay of execution will only last a week!!
The players tonight had to show,if they wanted him to remain as Manager.

Lets put it in some perspective shall we...the Celtic try was cheered in one spell of about 2 minutes and that was it. The same fans went on to cheer hull when they had something to cheer about...which happened to be after 70 minutes of mind numbing rugby! The cheering of Celtic should have provoked a response from the Hull players....and it didn't.
If we had lost tonight i would have ranked that result and performance up their with some of the worst i have seen in 30 years! Fooking terrible....he (Agar) needs to go!
