Please take your singer songwriter jokes to another board, this is about Long. You would think Mods would know better

I think the phrase rhymes with "clucking bell".

Christ - sounds pretty cagey about Fitz too.

Bad luck? Give over. The signing of Long was always a huge gamble.



Long will miss more games than he plays, this season, next season and any other season you decide to keep paying him.



It's what happens to players in their twighlight. Not just Long, everyone.



That's why you'll also regret paying top dollar for another year of Fitzgibbon. He's missed a few this time but you ain't seen nothin yet. It's inevitable and if it wasn't these 2 players would still be wanted at their previous clubs wouldn't they? There's a time to get rid and there's always some mug willing to pick up the tab.



Great players? Undoubtedly. But not as good as Roger Millward or Knocker Norton - and all 4 have similar playing futures in front of them.

Don't feed the troll.

Seconded.

Just crawl back under your rock or prison door

Bloody Willie Manu's fault as well. Longy went to line up a tackle and Manu came in with the big smash behind him, which was totally unnecessary (and didn't even get the tackle done). Could have happened to anyone.

As much as it was Manu who did cause the injury, to say it was unnecessary is daft. He was tackling as he always tackles on kick chases.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

To barge through your own player to put a shot on is daft, and has cost us our half-back. Could have easily made a more technical tackle (which he also does, he doesn't always put on big shots) as he had time to line up the man (as well as time to see Long was there).



There's a time and a place for big hits. Unfortunately this wasn't one of them.
