Cook and Rowlands

[californiahoop]

They both will do really well, treated shambolically by the club in my opinion.

Best of luck to both

Dont know about Rowlands but Cookie for sure has had a raw deal.

[SteveQPR1975]

Both players are championship players and could get in any championship team ! Brighton have done alright

if I said the sun was shining outside you would diagree with me...

Cook and Rowlands epitomise QPR for me, along with Gallen, Bircham and Ainsworth in recent times.

If you think that they were treated fairly than fair enough, but it made me cringe to see hulse and Vaggen Moen on the stand with Warnock, when Cook and Rowlands never got the chance.

How long as Rowlands been at this club? What did cook do for us?

Short memories and all that

I know its business and not really football, but like many I'm a bit more loyal.

feel for cookie, really do but Rowlands can do one. over-rated by sentimental wallies, never been good enough for where we are going, does not care about the fans feelings (poty do,twice, rowing with fans etc) and brighton is probably higher level than he deserves. the only reason he stood out was because of the rubbish playing with him

[Phil's R's]

Nice to hear that news, good luck to both of them, QPR legends...??
yer of course !!

[stainrodisalegend]

Any chance of a fee or are they free?

Don't disagree with everything yousay. But do about Rowly and Cookie.

Do you really think they could do a job in the PL? If you do who else do we bring back?

Would rather trust NW, after all he got us back up, and didn't feel the need to call on Rowly or Cookie.

Care to disagree?

Football is a business, end of.....

Yes, but an ENTERTAINMENT business. Can you honestly say Cookie hasn't entertained you over the years?

So did Stan and Rodney, wouldn't want them in the team now though.....

[qblockpete]

Don't disagree..

I;m saying the treatment of them was shambolic.

Some kind of recognition would not have gone amiss

[The Merry Ploughboy]

Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to them at this years Cheltenham festival . Both good lads so best of luck to them

Some kind of recogntion of many things would not have gone amiss.......

Has Cookie played a game this season? He wouldn't have been entitled to a medal without an appearance would he? Might be completely wrong on this one though..

Neither of them were due a medal. I am sure if they had been considered good enough NW would have played them if they were available.

IN WARNOCK WE TRUST.......

i would have liked to see Cookie given a chance..his goal(no pun intended)was to play in the Prem for QPR.As has been said,he didnt have the best medical treatment from the club whcih contributed to his continued absence.Apparently he is now properly fit for the 1st time in ages and has been looking good in training.there's also the £250k he waived for the sake ofthe club
And why is it that people assume that you have to be at the level of Rooney/Ronaldo to play in the Prem.Did anybody look at Ian Evatt when he was with us and think "hmm..he could hold is own in the Prem"(i actually thought he was half decent )look at some of the players who are at the likes of Stoke,Fulham,Blackburn,Newcastle,Bolton...etc..are they all world beaters...i'm sure Cookie could do a job..Fulham thought so when they bought him...i guess you have to trust the judgment of NW..but even the likes of Fergie and Wenger get it wrong(both have bought real stinkers when dabbling in the transfer market)
i also find it amusing that some become misty eyed romantics when talking about the game,in referance to players/wages and the attitude of owners to fans...how we hate a club or the game in general being referred to as a product..but when it suits us,all of a sudden.... it's.... " a business" at the end of the day and "theres no room for sentiment"

Good luck to them both.
Thanks for the memories!
