Gary Hooper

Hooper was a great player for us. Always think too was a combo deal his time of being successful for us coincided with Stokes best period with us also.
Hoopers record with Stokes playing and when not is chalk and cheese.

Smashing footballer.

His strength was incredible but his finishing ability was top class.

Unfortunately injuries took its toll.

must have been after he left us dont recall him having many injury probs while at parkhead

How you been btw ?

Blessed to be in WA at present life is basically normal despite covid due to good governance

Yes, we are very lucky here. The premier here has done an amazing job! He closed the borders not just internationally, but also inter state!

Borders have been shut since March, making West Australia an island effectively, completely isolated. There has been zero spread of Covid in the community for months, schools went back in May , and no one wears masks. Literally no restrictions.

The drawback is we need permission to leave the state , which would be rejected under most circumstances. If allowed out , we wouldn't get back in. But it's a price worth paying. If I am going to be stuck somewhere, this is not a bad place to be stuck in to be fair.

Hopefully the world is through the worst of this virus. 6 more months and I would say it will have been through most of the population in Europe and America. Herd imunity. There should be a vaccine too. What a crazy year it's been!!

Sure has mate. Fingers crossed 🤞 that you view of the next 6 months comes true 👍

By the way on a different note, what about djokovic getting disqualified from US Open!

So unfortunate to hit the lady right on the throat with the ball. He couldn't have done that if he tried!

The rules are the rules, but I think a warning in a case like that would have been more appropriate.

Not saying the disqualification was not the correct action. The tournament referee followed the letter of the rules. But djokovic did not even hit the ball that hard, he just was not looking where he was hitting it. I think changing the rules to have a warning the first time, then disqualification the 2nd time, would save having disqualification for accidental hitting officials with the ball.

Just my thoughts on it.

Permission to leave the state

Given its about 33 x the size of Scotland you should be ok.

Weathers not as good though 16 degrees here today

I've still got loads of mates in Perth, said it's practically back to normal now.

That's what happens when you have a competent government.
