Muppets from coal villages.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Not difficult really, just basic courtesy to player and fans.
To be fair to Mrs B I understand she once qualified to take part in 'Mastermind'.
Unfortunately it all went wrong when she nominated her specialist subject as ' Hull FC's Wembley Triumphs'.

One step away from Gateshull, I see. A rather weak effort on your part to divert attention from the gormpclopitude of Mike Smith pretending he never signed Misi Taulapapa. Why, if it weren't for the tweets of @autodox, we'd have had no updates of relevance in the months since the original announcement.
In terms of the Mastermind point, I'm thinking I might do Groundhog Day. You know, Paul Lakin, Neil Hudgell, Paul Blanchard, James Elston, Neil Pease, Andy Mowbray, Mike Smith and their continual loop of declaration that the ground developments are imminent. A rich seam indeed, but easier to remember due to frequency of recent repetition than Rovers major trophy wins. When was the last one again - 25 years ago? I reckon Taulapapa might have been the catalyst for achieving one, but I guess we won't know now. Or will we? Not clear whether he's still at Rovers or not. I'm sure Mike will get round to it when he's responded to Sandra.

If you took the time to do a little research you would find he has signed a two yer deal with Sheffield and is back in training with a nice wedge for his troubles or do you not read your local rag , there is no point in Rovers making a statement seen as though all you humbugs have advertised it here there and everywhere.
Unsurprisingly its only 1 person who seems to be bothered by this. As soon as a compensation deal has been signed then a statement will be issued. It's as simple as that.

Counting not your strong point, then?

Well, that's not true, is it? Old_Faithful_IAKW for one. SirStan thinks it's rubbish, that's 2. tigerj is curious too, so that makes 3. Mild Rover think's it's both odd, and plop, so 4. Saddened! makes 5. knocker norton is concerned too, 6.
Let's say around 1% of RL fans post on here. That's actually 600 real people who think this is substandard. I know you feel compelled to defend everything Rovers do, but the reality here is that if FC had done this, there would have been equal fun-poking in the other direction. The difference being that FC fans would have also slated FC for a lack of courtesy and professionalism for not being on the front foot with keeping the fans informed. Bit of detatched critique is more grown-up than a knee-jerk defence mechanism of blatant plopitude, I think you'll find

Interesting. Good old Misi. Hope he's kicking up an appropriate fuss for being ****ed over. Oh, Misi as well, that's 7.

Some people need to read the thread before singling out one from many expressing the same sentiment. Besides, you can't believe it's trivial to Misi Taulapapa, can you? Unless you are Mike Smith, in which case I claim my £5.
