I thought Cooney's passing has been slow and loopy and doing nothing to help an inexperienced 10 outside him but the other options have their issues too. I'd like Cooney to add a bit more to his game: namely more accurate box kicks to bring pressure and a really good break. I should add i like Cooney, but would like to see him develop his craft.
I'm hoping for a home win, the lads up for it with all this shitstorm going on.
can't agree on Cooney at all. Non-Stockdale player of the season.
I have no wish to damn Cooney with faint praise for he has been very good, however, have you not noticed that since Leali'ifano went home he has been under a huge amount more pressure with the nipper outside him.
How he could have done with Jackson outside him, but that will never happen.
Speaking of Jackson, I assume that I am not the only one incredibly outraged that a company who:
- gambled with customers money and needed a €3.5 Billion bail out as ROI's 3rd worst bank after AIB & Anglo Irish, the three of whom who required the biggest bailout in EU history
- a company who not only gambled their customer's money but their shareholders cash too, resulting in shareholders receiving no dividend for 10 years
- a company who were part of the biggest bailout across the entire EU, actually larger than Germany's, 4 times larger than the UK's and 20 times more than Spains
- a company who were part of costing every man woman and child in the ROI €9000 a head
- a company who
in the last financial year had to pay out €170M to their mortgage customers for fraudulently not passing on cuts in interest rates.
AND THIS SHOWER OF FINANCIAL CHARLATANS WHOSE ETHICS WENT OUT THE WINDOW ROUNDABOUT 2003 HAVE THE BRASS NECK TO LECTURE THREE LADS WHO PUT THEIR FEET IN THEIR MOUTH IN A SUPPOSED SECURE FORUM & A TEXT.
That said, knowing that Terry Slogan has got a hard-on for sacking the players, is it ludicrous to suggest that he may have called on 20 years of sponsorship since long before he landed at UR to help his cause? Some will doubtless consider this the stuff of fantasy, then again some would doubt that the texts on Miss Perfect's phone would make a brass blush let alone make the guys' utterances seem pure as a driven rape-cryer.
Still, I'll repeat, shame Jackson will never play outside Cooney, they could have been more than decent.
Finally, everyone be careful as they pass protestors tomorrow night, there will almost certainly be filming, covert and/or overt, be nicer than nice.
Protest supposedly 7:00 to 7:30
Seems a bit lightweight, I thought these people were dedicated.
