Shadders Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 To be fair to him, he does get a lot of stick on social media, but he gives it out too. Just banter IMO. As long as it doesn't get abusive I dont see any harm in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Agree Craig's tweet is stupid and unnecessary. All this achieves is it encourages the internet trolls to spout more nasty bile in his direction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me think's you protest too much!! over these parts I seem to remember they burned effigy's of a certain "Andre Compton" after his coming together with our hero Steady at the PLRC, hmmmm, where did he end up again?

All this achieves is it encourages the internet trolls to spout more nasty bile in his direction Not sure about the nasty bile but it does make him look unprofessional. Don't have a problem with some banter with opposing fans necessarily but being disparaging about another track really isn't on. Berwick may not be the best racetrack in the world but it enables the club to function which provides him with several extra meetings each season to earn money.

fairplay1 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 My Brother is a good friend of Cooks Grandfather he is a cracking bloke how the hell a man like that ended up with a dick like him for a Grandson is beyond me total prat.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarchlad Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 And I think the above posts show why Cookie reacts, the slating of him goes on from start to finish.......people from other clubs can say what they want......they do the same with other riders......who are at a higher level than cook......but still they try to bring him down. Yep we pay our money, and can I suppose say what we like, but some of the bile that goes on.........can be way over the top, on all sides!!.......IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rode well, and his team won, surely that should've been enough for Cook, as you say it makes him look unprofessional and I am sure he is anything but when it comes to his racing.

Mr Blobby Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 the amount of abuse Cook gets of those folk on the 3rd bend is ridiculous. He gave a little back by posting on twitter he did get a few bites though which is nice to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any abuse he got from the 3rd bend was answered by winning the meeting, putting Berwick out of the play-offs and almost certainly putting Edinburgh through to the Final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just wanted to make sure he answered his critics!!! lolHeard him get abuse from the Berwick fans Friday, and Saturday nights, including swearing aimed in his direction from one idiot at Armadale. On the subject of riders reactions, what was Claus Vissing all about on Friday at Armadale? Unless I missed something, the Edinburgh fans applauded him for his attempt to clear the track in heat 13, which was greeted with a V sign behind his helmet. Have no idea what that was all about, unless he was signalling he had scored 2 points!! ;-) Edited September 22, 2014 by Blacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant take it.... don't dish it out The majority of Berwick fans don’t, you are making reference to about 4 or 5 people at best. Most Berwick fans actually applauded Cook re his guest performances a while back and paid to put money in his pocket when he guested for Berwick. His attitude to Berwick is strange, he comes across as a weirdo on social media who is overly sensitive to any kind of critical comment aimed his way.
