My evil, negative alter ego is tempted to say we'll flog him in the summer.

Boatang red card for elbowing Peds.

Boatang red card for elbowing Peds.

Were they fighting over a throw in?

[Dan]

Watching Olsson, you have to say that the difference between a good team and a bad team is confidence. If everyone in the team shared the same amount of confidence, we'd be coasting.

You are totally right on that, but sometimes the manager doesn't help matters by changing things every week, even when we have done certain things well in the previous match.

George Boomerang off Another goal before half time and lets have an enjoyable 2nd half for a change please!!

Commentators saying it really should've only been a yellow.

And not replace him, but buy 5 right backs and 2 goalies!

Brilliant corner by Diouf!

[broadsword]

3 wins from safety if we keep it like this.

When's the season review DVD out?

[LeChuck]

Diouf is playing really well today, hopefully that spell out of the team has sorted his head out and he'll get back to how he was last season. Salgado is playing well too.

Andrews is totally anonymous though, give Reid some more playing time after half time please.

The worst thing about the Hull sending off his that the anti-Allardyce idiots will have something to blame the victory on now, other than the performance.

[hollowsr]

Oh good Hesselink going off for them!

After the Samba incident on Saturday we deserve a bit of luck really

Commentators saying it really should've only been a yellow.

Commentators I have on say it was the correct decision, and I agree. They both went up for a header but Boateng's arm was a mile in front of his head.

[Miker]

Hunt still looks like a good player on tonights performance, he'd walk into our team. Well not really BFS would pick Andrews ahead of him!

That's at least one thing I can agree with you on.

JHC Bryan! Is the Yoga really that effective!?!

Sorry but its never a red card, his arm does go up first but not the elbow more of a straight arm!

[bigbrandjohn]

Lets use the extra man to our advantage.

By the way for any of you weather buffs we have 16 inchers of snow here falling at a rate of 2 inches an hour.Work is closed and the game isnt even on the telly. Fancy choosing Villa United over our game

Needed a tongue-in-cheek smilie there ;-)

[Miker]

We should really be at least 2-0 up. I just hope it doesn't cost us in the second.

[Daremz]

My fellow countrymen are disssapointed, and I'm happy.

Boateng off with a red, VoH substituted. Hopfelully we won't get a scrappy- or wonder-goal against us, we must win.

Fact: I've played George Boateng in Dutch Youth Leagues. Fact: I PwnD him.

[RibbleValleyRover]

HT.

Hull are really poor but with it only being 1-0 it doesn't take them much to get back into the game. Need another goal to finish this game off, hopefully we can get it early in the second half otherwise it could be a nervous finish.

With West Ham and Wolves winning its vital we get the win tonight, the job is half done now we need to finish it off.

Awesome!! I love snow!!

You can't lead with your arm in an aerial challenge that much, whether it's a straight arm or an elbow it doesn't matter. It's a red card for dangerous play not for violent conduct (as would be the case with an outright elbow).

Hull are poor away from home but we are playing good football and were dominant even before the sending off. Shouldve been more by now, Kalinic is looking excellent until the final third where he's been really frustrating. Hopefully we kill this one off.

[Amo]

1-0 is never enough for this side. We can't afford to take our foot off the gas in the second half.

[Mr. E]

Fantastic goal by Olsson, but we have been endlessly wasteful in front of goal again. The Hull player didn't deserve a red though...

[MarkBRFC71]

Am at the game .... it's grim, certainly absolutely no football on display. We are totally reliant on set-pieces, but at least for once we're creating some chances! Hull are like a really sh*te version of Rovers tactics-wise. Still we're winning, and now we're playing 10 should be able to see it through. Wonder if Allardyce will take Niko off to protect the lead now we're only playing 10? ;-)

Yea because our goal came from a set piece, and because Hull must be horrible tactically since they beat Man City and drew with Chelsea through the sheer better standard of players instead.
