Robbo listen mucker, it was forward , at least a yard, the official spotted it , and quiet rightly so. Onwards and upwards (and forward!!!) excuse the pun.

It seems you're mistaking "under-8's-style offloading" for "outplaying the opposition". Despite FC being so much better than Rovers, you never took the lead and scored less points than us in 80 minutes.

Winning ugly is better than losing delightfully.

Glad to see we are in agreement.

it was right infront of us , and without a tape measure , it was at least a metre foreward , so well done silverwood

No tinted specs here, Rovers played poorly, as they have for the last 2 months, yet were still the better side (just) over the full 80 minutes. Yes, Hull had periods of domination (last 10 mins of 1st half, 1st 15 mins 2nd) but looking at the full picture, we shaded it, as the score suggests. If Galea hadn't had axle grease on his hands we would have been out of sight by half time, but thats idle speculation, a bit like harping on about refereeing decisions.

End of the day, Rovers will have to get back to their early season form to make any impression on the Play Offs, otherwise it will merely be a 2 week season extension. Hull's season is over, as they will not make up a 4 point deficit on teams in the top 8.

Rovers looked in control up to the Tansey try, I thought that going in at 12-0 would have been harsh on us, as it was Hull got to 12-6 and must have been delighted and looked the better team from then on. (barring the last ten maybe.)

I agree on the "under 8's" style rugby although maybe wouldn;t have put it so harshly. FC threw the ball around pretty recklessly and it came off for them and as such looked adventurous, on another day it wouldn't come off and look desperate. As I put in another thread they more or less seemed to say sod it after the Briscoe lay off (as in the Leeds game) and it started to pay off..

Bottom line we had an off day and came through which has to be a positive thing.

I agree so here's a couple of previous comments from "respected" posters on this forum regarding Mr Silverwood.







We will obviously disagree on the game as I believe we shaded the game but didn't get the rub of the green when we needed it. TBF we shouldn't need to rely on luck and it shows just how poor we have become. I agree we wont make the play-offs but unless you improve significantly in the next few weeks I cant see you making much of an impression in the play-offs.

And there is your problem, you cannot win even when you outplay the opposition (allegedly )

since when do you get penalised for giving a forward pass ?

Technically, you could say the receiving player is offside
