Big Tom lands George a right Hook

Post by shamalicious »

Terrible title I know. But Hook has tweeted:

@ghook: If we lose Healy the Irish scrum could be in Trouble if Court arrives

Tom:
@TomCourt1: @ghook Based on what recent evidence other than your conjecture, which is mostly unfounded bigoted sensationalism? #brokenrecord #justsayin

Nice one Tom :salut:

Haha good man Tom. But not wise to get drawn into a public argument with someone as set in his ways as Hooky.

On Hooky, didn't Tommy Bowe look slow against the French. He'll never have the pace for international rugby...

I know nothing about this tweeting stuff so have to ask if this stuff is really true or is it somebody just pretending to be Hook and Court or wha?

If it is real then surely Court has more important things to be doing than getting involved in nonsense with Hook.


Anyway why doesn't Court respond like any other proud Limerickman would do when annoyed by a Corkman....." 'way yu Cork langer or I'll break your face for yu"

>TH >TH

Go on Tom Court and keep the tradition of tough Limerick props going strong. Maybe he has spent too much time in Ulster and been de-Limericked.....or maybe that was done in his family long before he was born. Go on ta feck. :D

Not that I'm trying to claim Court as one of our own of course.

I thought his roots were in Mayo?

Ah come on Mervyn, what good has ever come out of Mayo for feck sake.....nice place as it is IMO.

Court's grandfather was from County Limerick.

Did he take his surname from the last building he was in before leaving Ireland for Oz?

I would always take that 'tweeting' with a large sack of salt in regards to whether what's posted is by the person linked to the possibly made up profile or not. Mostly not I would guess but sure it's nice to imagine it's really them. My mate reckons he's being 'followed' by Charlie (tigerblood) Sheen but I doubt that as my mate isn't what you'd call interesting.
Anyway, it'd be nice to think this one's the real thing

Hard to imagine Hook "tweeting" for a start, right enough.

Both those accounts are legit. TC must have had his morning dose of caffeine before firing that one off, but as was posted earlier, I'm surprised that he went for it on a social networking site. Mind you, fair play to him for doing so :salut:

I got blocked by Tiger Woods on Twitter for calling him a pervert.
I'm also blocked by a Sky Sports Golf analyst/pundit for mocking him considerably after a ropey hook on the shot centre.

Good effort by Tom there. Well worded, he is a clever chap after all.
Hook will have no doubt been a bit taken aback by that.

Marvellous stuff.
