Weeyin Posted April 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 4 minutes ago, Gazc said: The Verbal thing is reacting immediately to something you see and is human nature. Cook no longer rides for us so some vent their anger. Nothing wrong with it as long as you don’t overstep the banter line. Agree with what you say, but some were really vile as he was leaving in his van , shouting at the incident is fine, but leave it there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 If it had been Ryan fisher or frede schott would anyone have any complaints about the vitriol from the stands? Because he used to ride for us why should that make a difference? Universal at every track length and breadth of the country home rider gets wiped out away rider will take flack from the stands. As Gaz says long as doesn't go overboard (Christian Henry many years back for example) don't have an issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook could well have been referred to as "enormous". Funnily enough at a meeting I was at last week a rider was referred to as 'solid scorer'. I turned to my friend and said "I think they mean fat" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF and it is the biggest if you can get there Lewy what you are saying is true and is similar to what other posters are saying about Craig Cook (I am assuming that is what you mean) I wouldn't want them in the team. It would make me very very uncomfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got to clowns behind a keyboard thinking they’re clever posting about it bet neither would say anything to him or have a clue what they’re on about apart from reading an article in a local rag. It shouldnt be aired across the forum - are you for real? This 'clown' behind a keyboard thinks you must be looking in the mirror and referring to yourself. He beat her up. It was reported in the local papers. As far as I am aware there is no case out of libel on the local newspaper, now I wonder why? There are consequences to actions and one of them in this instance is knowing what he did. Theres loyalty to your team and theres blind loyalty. I suggest you stick to the first! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pep Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 It’s difficult to see what happens on turn 3 to leave Cook feeling so aggrieved with the end result two wrecked bikes (Basso & Bickley) but thankfully nobody seriously hurt. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYscJ6Xp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all over the local press at the time so it makes no difference if it’s on here it was common knowledge. I won’t judge him based on that though what I will judge him on is the stupid twitter post he should known better to post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat of the moment stuff on twitter and he should know better to stay off it right after a meeting. Just so happens now he’s on the other side certain individuals calling him out but never had an issue with him riding half the season last year for their side. Anyway bring on the next derby.

Diamonds85 Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 And to have the Edinburgh management applauding it in reply to his tweet... Not a good look. I love the drama, and the punches etc... But tweets like that just make the rider and the club look stupid. Especially when management of said club agree with it... Craig's always been a bit of a nob anyway, but you need people like that in sport, to create the drama lol... (just please keep it safe) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s who I think you’re on about he’s definitely management or employed by the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pep Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Liam Rudden presents every home meeting at Armadale, it’s really not a good look for a prominent member of the match day team to be applauding such a stupid tweet whatever way you try and explain it away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I shall remove my post out of respect, I do like Edinburgh... Now that my Diamonds have gone, I need to find a team to follow, and Edinburgh would be a good contender for that... I can't post a screen shot of Liam's reply, but it's clapping emojis followed by laughing emojis. He should on the other hand be telling his rider to take his childish tweet down.

These tweets are making them all look very childish. As I said If Cook had the issue he clearly has with Ben then why tweet it why not have it out with Ben at the time. Think most of us know the answer to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
