I don't usually comment on things to do with Rovers but this just comes across as pathetic points scoring in my eyes. I know that you're saying its abhorrent that Rovers re-signed Cockayne but you're also saying that it's understandable because he loves the club. No, it really isn't. They sacked him and by signing him again they are pretty much sending out a message condoning his prior behaviour in my eyes. Hardly their finest hour however you paint it.

If (and it's only an if at the moment) FC do sign Long up as a coach I don't think it will be their finest hour either. But to try and make Rovers look better with a comparison is just ridiculous.

As a player for Saints, great. As for the rest, for me no thanks.

He wasn't the same player since Tommy Martyn retired anyway.

Nothing wrong with advice from a player who's won it all, many times over and in a position we have struggled with since Cookie left.

Wouldn't it be better asking cookie to do the role on a part time basis

Cooke already works for both Doncaster RL and Union, doesn't he?

The fact that saints haven't employed this former legend of theirs speaks volumes

So is he coming/here or is this thread tosh?

Calm down love.
I initially posted to remind some hull fans who were advocating his return what he had done. The post you quoted was in response to a Rovers fan.
It's all factually correct I believe.
I believe this is also a forum. For opinion.
You post plenty.
Your hissy fit is in character for the forums biggest prima donna.

Sorry you mis understood. Not trying to make anyone look good.
Long triggered an investigation into doping at your club. Advocating his return is buffoonery in my eyes.
My opinion on Cockayne is well documented on the Rovers forum.
I never wanted him back. He however did less harm to his club than what Long did to yours.

You seem to be forgetting that the harm done to the club was by our incompetent conditioner clearing the supplement in the first place and by our idiot CE then orchestrating a cover-up. Long's role was actually pretty minor - he may have been the initial contact for the supply of the supplement but had it not been cleared as OK nothing untoward would have followed. Hence the lack of a sanction against him.

Is he here? Is he coming? Can we have someones uncles dogs left bollock post a link or shut down thread?

Really. What is a player doing selling supplements to his team mates.
He screwed you over.

Bingo!
Re the blind club related hissey fits.
Rovers have actually signed cockcayne. Our embarrassment is real.
Don't 're sign this poisoned dwarf if you respect your club. This was my point.
It would improve Rovers top 8 chances if you did so go ahead for me.

You do realise all players take supplements? These particular supplements had been cleared by our ex-conditioner so Long will have been under the impression that he was doing nothing wrong. You make it sound like he knew what he was doing and screwed over one of his best mates! Yeah, alright!
