There was nothing to sue for. If what he is saying is true then there is no reason to keep quiet bout it. he'll write his book which will say he had a long running argument with teh club over his salary and testimonial and that is why he didn't sign his contract.

Not really.

And you expect non-twitterers to know this how? Don't really care what happened next - his initial tweet was a dig at Hull. I don't believe he'd word something similar if Rovers were the club in question, therefore to me he undermines his self-proclaimed neutrality. That opens up a few questions.


WTF has this got to do with my OP or my subsequent comments on this thread? You claim [iI'm[/i bitter - I'm still waiting for you to justify that.

Would you have posted this had anybody but Paul Cooke said it? I doubt it. I don't have to justify the bitterness comment, the fact you started the thread says it all. If you're not bitter you're obsessed, other people have said negative things about us, why not post that stuff? Because it wasn't said by Paul Cooke, simple.

Conversing with people on Twitter is no more or less sad than conversing on here.

Are we STILL talking about Paul Cooke?

I've stated several times why I posted it. To quote... er, you, how hard is it to read posts? But again, just for you:







Still waiting for your explanation of my bitterness, though:

I'd agree if it's just ordinary people but when you're hanging on every word of some z list celebrity and getting a semi on when they actually acknowledge you exist then it is significantly different

I hardly follow any celebs. I commented my feelings on cooke the other day and as he was tagged in the post he could see it and responded. We chatted for a while, I had my oponion and he has his. I don't follow him and have no intention of doing so.

We chatted for a while, he offered me a drink, one thing led to another and now I feel dirty, so dirty I've scrubbed myself raw with a brillo pad. I'll never forgive him

Because he's skint, relatively speaking, so what would be the point? He doesn't even have enough cash to cover the likely legal fees.

He really has suckered you in, hasn't he.

Here we go, at what point did he 'sucker me in'? Strange how this Cookie thread seems to have lasted, eh? Nothing to do with your part in it, I'm sure!
The guys long gone yet some people still feel bitter enough to post his words on here.
Do you not think the reason he quit had nothing to do with our board at the time?

Do you not think you're a little bitter? The guy left 5 years ago FFS.

While people remain bitter, then yes we will, unfortunately.

My God - are you being:

a) - deliberately obtuse;
b) - thick or
c) - illiterate?

Or perhaps you're just empathizing with Cooke's ability to comply with:

a) - the first statement in your signature and
b) - not the second.

Right, I've explained to you that posting the stuff he says on here 5 years after he left IMO, makes you look bitter.
Now can you explain to me why you think the comments of a player and a person like Paul Cooke that left 5 years ago are relevant?

One post from me. Relating to an inflammatory worded question Paul Cooke (ex-player and now self-proclaimed neutral commentator on both Hull teams in the Mail) made in an attempt to undermine Gentle's judgement.

Why is that not relevant [itoday[/i as it was published [itoday[/i in an RL journal?

You're right. Paul Cooke isn't relevant today to Hull FC. He just thinks he is.

Or perhaps hopes he is.

People are obsessed. But he was still talking e

Not arguing that he wasn't talking . It was an option, but not one anybody with an ounce of common sense would take. Cookie knows that, but yet people bit! Even LW apparently.

And, it appears, you.

How many tweets did you exchange?

You've taken it far too seriously.

I did bite at the time, yes, asked him to explain and soon discovered he was just on a wind up. Didn't come and post it on here as soon as I saw it though, did I?

No, dear. I was never serious in the first place. [iYou[/i just said I was.

Ah right, well that explains it all, eh?
