I should have known it was a mistake to come down and support Town in a moment of madness - that's the players as well as me.
Hull had the referee conned in their tip-tappy passing in their own penalty box in the first half - if I'd been reffing this effing farce, I'd have booked at least one of them for time-wasting/ungentlemanly conduct/whatever. That would have stopped their nonsense. Give them their due, Hull were very good at it - game management? It was very obvious they abandoned that tactic in the second half - perhaps "someone" from the officials had a quiet word with "someone" from the Hull staff at halftime?
Anyway Hull were much sharper than we were in the first half and we looked as though everyone was waiting on everyone else to do something. A sharp finish from Rudoni, obviously a firm favourite with one of my friends
made for an exciting ending. Unfortunately we were suckered just as much as the ref had been earlier and lost another goal in the danger zone (just after we've scored). I still think we were worth at least a point after a dominant second half.
I'll be back (with fair weather and a following wind - shades of a Blazing Saddles bean feast)!
