Melick turned his attention to the alleged words used by Bollinger. Cooper said the phrase had not been used. "I'm confident it didn't happen," he said. "If it had of happened I would have remembered it. It's quite personal, it would stick in your mind."
The Melick cross-examination was exceptionally tense, including a refusal from the Coroner, Michael Barnes QC, to subject Cooper to footage of the over leading up to the fatal blow. Cooper recalled speaking to Jason Hughes, and of telling him that it had been "a tough period of play, with plenty of short stuff".
However Cooper strongly denied relaying Bollinger's alleged sledge to Jason Hughes despite repeated questioning by Melick, responding "no", more than once.

Maybe better if this was done by therapists behind closed doors. In a way, I feel I'm adding to the inappropriateness of it by even commenting on the subject...
