5 minute,or 10 minute?

i didnt say he was a bad player did i? i dont think there has been a better scrum half but that isnt what i said is it, i said i dont like him - main reason, if youve ever spoken to him you might realise hes a cocky arrogant tw*t.

im sure his book will bring more light on how he really is - to me the title says it all
Plus signing for FC just means i can dislike him even more so now.

All in all, if you speak to fans from any team most will say he is/was a great player but they dont like him, hes just that type of player who gets on your nerves.

Think about all the money he will be able to make off the back of you lot every time he reads the team sheet!

I'd have to agree with you there, I met the man himself a few years ago in blackpool during the season when he was supposed to be recovering from injury, he was carrying on like a prize git. There's no doubting his talent but his attitude has always been questionable for me, perhaps he's grown up a bit now, (i'd be saying this if rovers had signed him also)

This taken from the book:

"From page 49:

By the end of the night, I'd downed five or six pints of lager and a few shots of vodka and I was well drunk. It's hardly legendary boozing but I was only 18 and new to drinking... Anyway, I rolled out of the club at around 1am and staggered into the road and into the path of a car full of girls. Despite my best efforts to charm them by dancing inches from the bonnet, and making gorilla noises, they were blasting the horn for me to get out of the way ...

One of the girls was well drunk and she gave me loads more abuse than her mates. She started pushing me ... I knew I'd been a pain in the ar$e but it was all just high spirits; I wasn't prepared for things to get this nasty with a bunch of girls. Then she totally lost it and began punching me again and again.

Next thing I knew, I instinctively swung back at her. But as I threw the punch, the girl who'd been driving stepped in to drag her mate off me. My fist ended up landing square on her chin and she dropped to the floor ...

After Reardon, another thug who hits girls

Long should be banned for a long time .

Especially now he's signed for Hull FC, eh.

Yup

Hope the RFL gave him the same punishment they gave Cockayne when he tried to implant his shoe in that blokes head

That was a criminal matter, not an RL one, whereas the gambling on match outcomes by players is something that the RFL should be punishing (and if any element of fixing is involved, the police as well).

Lets be honest,whatever the barrack room lawyers say on here,by the time the rfl get around to it Long will be retired anyway.

have a look at what tommo quoted.
