In response to Radders blaming the crowd I would say this in response:

We are not the coach who selects those players and makes them play those tactics. We are not the coaching staff who train those players. We are not the players who lost a game they were winning 16-0 and shipped 23 unanswered points. If you want to blame anyone there are plenty of people to blame other than us. All we are are the poor hapless saps that put our money into the club we love year in and year out only to be let down time and time again. You want passion and commitment from us 80 minutes every week? Give us a team that play with passion and commitment for 80 minutes every week.

There's something about Radford I just don't like, and his comments tonight I thought were a little misguided.

I was quite shocked when he was given the head coach position, and felt he'd be out of his depth being this early in his coaching career. So far, he's done nothing to change my mind unfortunately.

No disrespect intended to Wakefield, but even with a couple injured and Westy going off, we should be putting them to the sword.

So what should AP do? In my opinion, Radford needs to go sooner rather than later. Problem is, whos available to take over?

The crowd is fed up of season after season of the same failings. Fed up of season after season of unfulfilled promises, and players that can't string together two performances in a row. Fed up that no matter how loudly they shout the players repeatedly fail to respond.

And while Radford did indeed go on to blame the players he also made it pretty clear he had no idea how to fix things. Pretty depressing stuff.

The crowd, of which I was one, performed poorly today as it has done for a long time.

It was Radford's worst post match interview yet but not because of his reference to the crowd.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.Radford is a clone of Casey its everyones fault but his.

Re: Radford Out! : Sun May 04, 2014 6:11 pm  

So,Radford's blaming a lack of crowd atmosphere for his team's performance at home.

Hmmm... Well the away support has been magnificent, and yet.. we havent won an away game this season.

I thought the majority of the blame he dished out fell squarely on the players. It was a concern though that he didn't seem to know how to address the issue.

Can't really add much more to what has already been said. It's just frustrating beyond belief. Not just Hull FC but I'm becoming more and more disillusioned with the game as a whole and it's something I never thought I would say.

Likewise - the thought of slogging back up the M1 on Friday night again has never been less appealing.

100% agree about the crowd , I grew up watching a pretty average side at the boulevard but one of my biggest memories of that time was the noise the crowd made . 10/11k at the kc and you can hear a pin drop . People need to get behind the guys in black n white IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER

Crowd are poor at home, Radford is right. But the team over the last 5 years have bored people into it. Today, not one song in the first half. Nothing.

me too, the attitude problem seems ingrained in the club, different players ,different coaches, even different owner!! same problem.I have no idea what the solution is, hope there is someone out there who does,but really disillusioned now!!?
