OSG Prem: Hull City's Bruce Probably Is Getting Fined Again...

((HT: BPL))

Hull City manager Steve Bruce thinks he got jobbed in his 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace...


On two occasions, Bruce thought Hull should have been awarded two PK's and brings up an interesting point about holding referees accountable in the media...

Don't think it'll happen, but it's an interesting point...

Allan McGregor's nutty at the end by Hull City gave them a red and a trim to 10 men...

Interesting to see what happens to the keeper there as well...

OSG Prem: How To Celebrate A Goal...??? How About A Haircut...???

((HT: BPL on NBC))

Hull City even gave their manager, Steve Bruce, reason to say "Wow!" on the sidelines with their shocking 6-0 win over Fulham at the KC Stadium this afternoon...

But Tom Huddlestone scored his first goal in three years...

So, his afro took a bit of a side chop as a celebration...
Evidence Below...


It was also his 27th birthday...

So, not a bad way to work it all out on the day...

Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen wondered if there was some other factor:

”I’m shocked. I don’t know if there was something in the tea. I did not see that coming and the players did not see that coming.”

Well, there's that...

OSG Prem: How Not To Win Friends And Influence People At Hull City

((HT: NBCSN))

Hull City owner Assem Allam bought the team in 2010 and is now deciding whether or not he wants to re-brand the club to be only the "Hull Tigers."

That hasn't gone over well with the fans as they openly protest at home games now...
Like last week...


The rallying cry has been "City til we die..." and Allam is now telling the fans who feel that way to, well, go ahead...

Allam told the Independent newspaper's Richard Rae that he wouldn't put another pound into the club if he felt the fans weren't with him and his policies...

"They can die as soon as they want, as long as they leave the club for the majority who just want to watch good football."

"I'm a simple man. Do they want me to stay? If it's 'No thank you', fine, in 24 hours the club is for sale, I do not put in one more pound and hopefully things happen quickly."

Manager Steve Bruce is going to have a chat with his owner about his comments, according to the Independent's Rae:

"...However I’ve got to have a conversation with him because I don’t think he quite understands what it means to the supporters in the history and tradition.

“All he thinks about is going forward and that the brand would be better. That’s his opinion, but obviously there’s thousands who don’t share it, and I understand them because there’s no one more of a traditionalist than me. But we can’t let it fester because when things aren’t going so well it creates an atmosphere, which none of us want.”


So, what happens first time out after the new round of furor...
HCAFC beats Liverpool...


Knowing Allam, after the meeting, Bruce will be on the clock, too...
