I agree with you. Cook should never engage with any supporter in the ground. We have made a good start to season and he needs to concentrate on his energies on getting the team prepared and leading them to the summit. So far he has done a great job. I heard Sean Connor being slagged on Sat night big time. I may not have agreed with the way he exited to Bohs but we must admit he put in the foundations of our professional set-up and left us in better shape than when he arrived at the Showgrounds.
You must be joking.

raf was sitting in front of me in the main stand - he is still a rovers fan no matter who he plays for.
he celebrated the goal no less than any other supporter.
Are you for real?
You do realise what he did to our entire under-age set up?
I was in the middle of the main stand and have to say I didnt take any notice of supporters booing the team. The crowd are always going to be tense especially when it looked like we were going to struggle to get a win against an average Galway side, despite having some good chances.
One individual in the players and officials section berated Cook when he took off Richie Ryan. He asked him what was he doing taking off the best midfielder in the league. Cook replied he was trying to win the game.
Personally I dont think Paul should get involved with supporters when they shout comments, he should concentrate on what he is paid to do, manage the team. If its successful he takes the credit, if not he shoulders the blame. Thats why he is the manager and picks the team, not the guy in the stand. Every home game there are 2000 managers with an opinion in the showgrounds.
Sorry, was unaware of any wrong doings with under age set up. Just observed him taking us from the depths of first division to competing with the best in the premier.
Think it also has to be remembered the when Connor was at the showgrounds his wage budget was significantly increased. While I'm not saying he didnt bring us on to a different level, he was given more money than his predecessors to spend on better quality players.
Aye he did but he decemated the under age set up, setting it back years tbh.
He left that very much weaker than what it was before.
As for his success, aye he did well but with the budget we had in comparison to the rest of division he wasnt exactly punching above his weight.
He lived accross the road from the Showgrounds though, probably went to the circus
What year? and name the team
Off the top of my head not a clue of the year but I think it might have been the match we played St. Pat's in the Cup in the Showgrounds - we lost 1 nil - when Jimmy Mullen was manager - if not it was when Nicky Reid was manager.
this is a wild guess at some of the players - no time to put too much thought in to it.
Whitehead/Boswell
David Moore/Mattie Hare//Dale Hawtin/Mark Hutchison
Tony Kelly/Michael Love/Chris Twiddy/Steve Jones
Marcus Hallows/Matthew Brady
If I have half of them there I'll be most delighted with myself.

Please ! Of which you speak. Never end a sentence with a preposition.
Apply for moderation powers, you have the gift.
Three games in.... ok we maybe looking dodgy at times but give the team a chance ...after all we are slow starters.
Sir, that is properly, a postposition.
