Welcome To The Jungle Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 After the season we had, this game was just a bonus for me. Would happily have taken 21st in August. It never really bothered me as I was just happy to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Absolute screamer of a finish and hard to begrudge a team going up for the first time in their history but you have to look at what they've done since and wonder what could have been. All credit to them and Burnley for taking an unexpected promotion and using it to turn themselves into a team that can expect to either be in the Premier League or competing to be there. Not to mention Stoke from that same season. Thing is though, brilliant though the goal was, I still can't help wondering what would have happened had Orr not been injured and Elliott not moved to right back. I think we might have edged it. But I guess these are the things football turns on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was actually a bullet dodged , we , evidently, were not well run enough at the time and I could for see à Portsmouth, Bolton scenario had we gone up . I was disappointed at the time but feel we are much better placed for a tilt at the top now . ( that's TILT ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, if the medical team had done their job properly, Bradley Orr wouldn't have been wandering about the pitch in a daze and Carey wouldn't have had to try to cover the right back position. Carey should have been closer to WIndass and I think he would have closed him down quicker than Nick Carle! 10 minutes ago, MarcusX said: Looks like Nick Carle to me 52 minutes ago, RedDave said: Who is the player on the penalty spot when he strikes it?

I think Hull goes into the category of "huge disappointment" rather than "worst experience", which are two subtly different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing was that the Brighton fans were walking out of the ground around us and you would think they had lost. As they were only at a school sports ground at the time I think they thought that promotion was relatively pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I didn't remember the defending being that bad. Lovely volley but the fact we looked like we were a 10 year old 6-a-side team probably helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red from the blue side Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Although the result was crap, I met my future wife that day ( a hull fan) and duly got divorced on the same day five years later . Today is the first anniversary of separating from my subsequent partner and to top it all I got an email this morning confirming I've been successful in my job application. What is it with may 24th.
