Don't be so sure.

Setting history aside for a minute (I will come back to it), he'd be a good signing for Hull, given how rarely you get Long and Horne out together.
Derbies aside he was rarely brilliant for Rovers, and his price now would reflect that - but he was also rarely poor.
Behind a strong pack and with a point to make, I reckon he has one last shake in him.

Back in the real world, the idea has been rejected by senior Hull FC figures so many times, it doesn't seem feasible. He'd be decent, I suspect, but not good enough to justify the hassle/outcry.

agar would take him , but has got to work on kath hetherington

i think hes had his time in hull and many wouldnt welcome him , his off the field problems will always be with him, and he still hasnt grown up !

He'll be back next year and you'll all be cheering him on in black and white

Must try harder, Phil.

He's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming. Cookies coming 'home'

I'm so confident he's not, that if he does, I'll wear a Rovers shirt to the next home derby after he re-signs.





You'll be needing better material than that to get any bites, I'm afraid.

In which case I'll look forward to reading about James Rules impending resignation, as he said at a recent fans forum (When Cooke questions were still in vogue) that Cooke would not be returning while he was Cheif Exec.

Stated that on a few occasions has Mr Rule and even though he is a great spin master there is no way he could spin Cooke re-signing for us.

How much spare cash have you got?

I'll give you very generous odds.

Think that part is hard to argue with t.b.h.

I'd say it would be a decision that would hit FC in the pocket and thats one place they won't want to be hurt. Rule knows that and that's why he knows we'll never sign him again.

Season pass sales would drop IMO.

Fair enough mate,I am not saying we should have him back.Just pointing out you can`t argue we have missed his creativity.

How did the City fans behave at York today?

Cookie was in the West Stand watching on Friday (apologies if mentioned elsewhere).

I remember wondering how he would react to either team scoring or where his loyalties lied but became far too engrossed in the game to care once it kicked off.

i've just seen that on the Leeds board of all places.

"barricaded themselves into a pub"

locked them in a pub!!!!!! what a place to be kept eh!!

I wasn't there myself, but by the sounds of it some behaved badly, although I suppose we could try to divert attention and claim they were rugby fans, but that sortof tactic's very feeble

. I'm not sure why you mention it on a thread about troublesome rugby fans as if it makes their behaviour acceptable, but will you mention any of the numerous fights that occured after the derby match the other night?

football season nearly here and you rear your stupid head

without being there or sticking up for them it says 50 supporters. I bet there was 50 of them in a pub and the police came, obviouly a few beers had been drank and i bet not a great deal happened baring handbags. Probably local news if that. if im wrong then i will appoligise.

If not much happened this could happen in alot of sports. Say if 50 of us was drunk in a pub in cas nowhere near the ground, the police would probably come, a few songs sang and maybe 1 or 2 silly people go over the top. This sort of thing could happen anywhere. ps i still dont agree with agro!

Maybe at the nect dervy we can sing

DYE DYE Newton

I'd rather take Cockayne then Cooke and that is saying something!

Very good.

He was sat a few rows in front of me-didn't react at all when either team scored. He's obviously not as daft/thick as we thought!

that must had been fun all on his own then
