Typical crafty Ulster-men, they'd love it if they could bring in Cook after the reputation he's developed along with bringing in a few Bit-a-Red boys. Hands off, lads, audacious so-and-sos. What kind of compo money were these fools prepared to pay? No wonder they went belly up recently!
Also, RTE run with some crap -- then again, I suppose it is the Crimbo-season, sore heads, red noses and slow story days.
Cooky, you've given us drama on and off the pitch. Legendary status entacted.
As I stated earlier, its Blighty or Bust for the Birkenhead lad. Roll on League championship 2012.
