Carney mentioned the D/D and assault so nothing was brushed under the carpet.Think the depression was caused by living in a "goldfish" bowl as he put it and his everymove was watched,and he admitted he gave them plenty of ammo to get him and admitted he was wrong.What amazes me though is that no one has picked up on the Jason Smith remark and he was treated like a demi-god.

what was said about Smith, you know my thoughts on that particular individual

He was a character off the pitch...1st time he met him it was straight to the bar but taught Cooke to play the game at his pace and to do the pass you know you can throw.

Well my comment wasn't aimed at you, but by 'move on' I meant lose the hatred. Although Garry Schofield still gets that for leaving Hull and that was nearly thirty years ago.

What happened with Cooke, happened. It was a hugely regrettable episode and no party came out smelling of roses. Cooke certainly made a grave error of judgement but more recent developments suggest the club wasn't being run as well as we thought and the old regime are culpable in his departure. It wasn't a case of failing to ensure he put pen to paper.

We got the best years of his career, though, and he played a massive part in the happiest day in all the years I've supported Hull.

Oh I agree that hatred is too strong an emotion. At the end of the day it's just sport after all.

Sorry if I jumped in - I tend to speed read posts in between doing other stuff and can get the wrong impression.

I don't believe that anything will ever put you out of your misery. You enjoy it too much.

anyway, he's an ex player, and we're not allowed threads about those, and it's descending into bickering, may as well lock it eh?

Good luck with that

Wellseeing as you dont know me at all to say that....i'l just ignore your views from the radio from now on.

C`mon on boys,hugs,
whats happened to the cuddle crew?

now you see why you got thrown out!

This is the trouble with the printed word.

For instance I could say ."You are a pillock."
Depends if you are using it as
or
Its all in interpretation.

You don't know me either. Doesn't stop you though, does it?

And radio? Purlease! It's FC Live now if you don't mind.

It started off as a discussion about an RL related TV program. Guess it was bound to go wrong at some point but it was OK for a while.

the subject matter alone kind of pointed that way, although how Crooke was ever described as "super" is beyond me, other than a "super waste of talent".
