i don't have a problem with radford, but i'll be more happy if sean long is captain instead

...but fitzgibbon [ireally [/ishould have got it instead... oh well!

lets wait and see who the club announce!!

I'd be surprised at Long being made captain. He says in his book that he likes leading the team on the pitch and lifting trophies but doesn't enjoy the off field activities involved in captaincy. Perhaps Fitzgibbon or Radford will be "club captain" and Long "team captain".

yeah i thought sean long should be kept away from captaincy and we should opt for a 'squeaky clean' front-man such as fitzgibbon... especially when you read about how sean long can't remain sober for more than 2 hours

but to be fair the book implies he has grown out of being a dick head and he's more sensible these days...

Hopefully his 20 pints of Guinness a night are over.

Yup - he's really going for it from now on

TBF, ive only ever met 1 person that could drink that amount of Guinness in a night and Sean Long doesnt look like the kind that could. (ive tried believe me and i can get nowhere near 20 pints of Guinness)

Christ, Can you imagine following that person after he's dropped his monday morning payload in trap 2

you think they'd last till morning?

he?

Would you want a know a she who drank 20 pints of the black stuff?

Officially confirmed?

Already there. The HDM readers comments on FC articles counts, right?

Officially confirmed??? Err i see nothing official and the official club line is that it will be announced on the 12th of January

TBF I'd imagine they'd announce the captain to the squad first while they're in Wales. The 12th will be the day it's announced to the press.

Ok.

From what i'm aware from my info long is to be captain as i posted on 1st page and has pretty much carrying that mantle in training anyway.

The Hull captain will be named on tuesday 12th january! hopefully fitz..?!

could be right,radders been club captain.

not a problem with long having it, agar may feel he wants his captain on the feild for the full 80 and might have plans to play his 4 back rowers 60 mins each.

I think it probably is. Radders has won awards for his role in the community as captain so would think it would make sense to allow him to continue that if he wants to using the club captain role.
