Really. Go on then

radders said he always gets his round in though so he isn;t all bad

Do they still do Pills ner?

He has some cracking pub jokes too...

Seven pages, but no links of any kind that I can see to back this up, I'll believe it when officially announced.....

Your lot binned Willie Mason after 6 games. Was he such a poor player

It's April 1st right?
Didn't this bloke and his mate supply the stuff that your squad used which had a banned substance in? Didn't him and his mate then blame the club very publically claiming complete innocence.
Some staff lost their jobs too I recall.
Nice episode in your clubs history.
A tad embarrassing and a little foolhardy to employ him again don't you think?

Why do people think that having good knowledge of the game alone instantly means you'll be a good coach?

If you can't get that knowledge across via your coaching methods, it's pointless. Long's coaching method of lasting two minutes in a role and buggering off won't have many listening just yet!

As a fellow Rovers supporter, we need to be careful when discussing the re-hiring of former embarrassments!

Sport is littered with 'greats' that have instantly thought they just need to walk into coaching and they'll be good at it, unfortunately the ones who fail outweigh the ones who succeed. This is even more apparent in modern day sport than it was in the 70's / 80's.

Long's whole demeanor projects unprofessional ism and he seems to back this up at every turn.

I wouldn't be opposed to Long coming in and taking some sessions with the halfbacks at the club. As long as its more along the lines of a consultancy role and not contracted to work day in day out with the team.

I hope this is not true... ability to tip any stability we have.

I believe you're referring to Rivers 're hiring Cockayne (which I personally find abhorrent). He however was sacked by Rovers due to his thuggish and I'll educated behaviour. He though clearly cares for Rovers.
Long according to his own biography went to hull because they offered him most money.
He then starts selling supplements to the squad. They fail drug tests. Long 's response. To vigorously blame hull. They lose their chief executive and a member of their medical staff and have their name dragged through mud. He sees out his contract in the physio room and walks away bad mouthing the club.
Some buffoons are advocating re employing this great advocate for their club.
From the 2 clubs point of view the 2 situations don't hold up in comparison.

Fuck me that rich. Fuck off mate nobody cares about your opinion. It's biased and .

great post. Nearly choked on my coffee.
