They don't want him, they prefer to play hookers at full back don't they

I miss Cooke already. Still, at least the derby build-up can focus entirely on Dobson now.

Haven't you got some injurys to cry about?

Mind games again, not a Man United fan too by any chance or you?

I'd take Briscoe without a doubt, those who say Blaymire is a better player are wrong, they are different kinds of players but I'd say on Briscoe is better. In all honesty though it'll never happen, don't know who made it up, probably just someone with a bit of wishfull thinking! good win last night, well done, no doubt leeds were garbage according to their supporters!

32 pages is a lot to go through so I'll ask this now.



Cooke's departure, are Rovers fans happy or sad ??

Sad.

Bit of both, but mostly relieved.

All i can say is thak god he has gone, now i wonder if we can get a few threads running where Cooke is not mentioned.... probably not

Gutted................There will now proceed to be 50% less postings on both forums.

I wish I shared your optimism Martin.

Hmmmmm. Paul Cooke is like the Curate's egg. When he was on his game, he was sheer class. When his motivation failed him, he was a passenger. There's no doubting his talent but his application let him down. I think he had the potential to be the player of his generation but for reasons we're all aware of, he didn't fulfill his potential. I think after he's retired he might look back at his career and regret not trying harder. On a personal note, the damage he caused when he walked out on Hull is only now starting be put right two years later. I think that shows just how influential he was but came at the cost of of big fish small pond mentality.
