What a set of reactionary hypocrites you are...
Look at all teh slagging off of Hull City the Club, the fans and football in general you lot have done. Mr Duffen makes one off the cuff remark and you're blubbing like girls again.
You've no idea why the Internationals not on, but you choose to blame football. As ill-timed as the flippant remark was, that's all it was.
It's your own lack of self esteem that seems to be driving these 'poor 'ickle me' whinges on here.
You're guilty of far more in the past and presently doing far more to give a poor impression of the people of Hull than that one comment ever would.

Duffen, by his own admission, is ignorant of Rugby League. But I suspect that his naivety is now in danger of being replaced by outright hostility towards this 'rival' sport to his beloved football.
For all his faults, at least Adam Pearson was reasonably respectful towards the Rugby League community in this City, presumably because he was raised in the RL heartlands itself and understood its history.

[size=150I have it on very good authority [/size(and I genuinely mean that), that Paul Duffen 'enquired' to the Council last week just what it would take to remove Hull FC as joint tenants!
He was met with a firm rebuttal from council leaders (who by all accounts were fuming), who reiterated that Hull FC's lease agreement was water-tight for the next 20 years or so.
I am telling you, BEWARE PAUL DUFFEN!'"
No you don't
Firstly, why would the chairman of a company that rents the KC ask how to get a co-tenent out when it would result on one tenant having to cover all of the operating costs.
Its never happend. You are an neutral as sixth gear. |

So why have internationals in the past been played that time of the year with no problems then?.Has for Mr Duffin he has confessed about being ignorant to Rugby League so he should keep his opinions to his self and keep his big mouth shut, joke or no joke because no one is laughing at this side of the fence.  |

We're not on the forum of another sport rushing to defend our club from imagined slights, pal.

Whatever Mr Duffen thinks in private is his business, but for a man in his public position, he shouldn't be able to get away with such a sweeping, defamatory remark made 'on the record'.
Would a local councillor walk away professionally unscathed if he publically insulted all residents of a certain council estate for example?
Many Politicians have walked for less.
Lets not forget that Glenn Hoddle lost his job for his views on a certain sector of the population which were made OFF THE RECORD and, in all probability, were grossly misinterpreted!
Tongue-in-cheek or not (and I'm certainly not convinced they were), Duffen's comments were highly defamatory and he shouldn't be able to walk away from this with his reputation intact.
At the very least, he should be made to apologise.
Does anyone have his e-mail adress? |

I would tend to agrea with this.. To be fair I thought he talked sensibly about the football but listening to other quips he made just didnt really have a very good sense of humour! |

Knowing the folks at the Council who would have been asked that question very well, I think that it highly unlikely it was asked in fact I don't believe it was. As has been said many times the Rugby team has equal rights to use the Stadium no one has any sort of preference and will not have for at least another 20 years. Then the two contracts are up for review and renegotiation. The contract and agreement is water tight! |
