In the interests of the club and supporters there should actually be a ban on 'supporters' posting opinions on here that we should be sacking anyone, Hird or otherwise. Apart from how disloyal they are, it wouldnt be completely out of the question for the media to get hold of it and paint the supporters as divided etc.

Hail Hirdra!!

****ing hilarious.

"We are all of the same opinion over here, because we banned everyone we didn't like".

I'll make a gif later from the captain america movie with that scene if you like.

The instrument has not yet been invented to measure that amount of denial.

Going by the Kübler-Ross model:

Denial - tick.
Anger - tick.
Bargaining - hmmm... probably where * is at the moment.
Depression -
Acceptance -

Still a while to go yet!

I thought this was worth sharing from wikipedia:

Grieving in substance abuse
Denial
People feel that they do not have a problem concerning alcohol or substances. Even if they do feel as if they might have a small problem they believe that they have complete control over the situation and can stop drinking or doing drugs whenever they want. Example: “I don’t have to drink all of the time. I can stop whenever I want.”

Anger
The anger stage of abusers relates to how they get upset because they have an addiction or are angry that they can no longer use drugs. Some of these examples include “I don’t want to have this addiction anymore.” “This isn’t fair, I’m too young to have this problem.”

Bargaining
This is the stage that drug and alcohol abusers go through when they are trying to convince themselves or someone else that they are going to stop abusing in order to get something out of it or get themselves out of trouble. Example: “God, I promise I’ll never use again if you just get me out of trouble.”

Depression
Sadness and hopelessness are important parts of the depression stage when dealing with a drug abuser. Most abusers experience this when they are going through the withdrawal stage quitting their addiction. It is important to communicate these feelings as a process of the healing.

Acceptance
With substance abusers, admitting the existence of a problem is different from accepting the problem. When a substance abuser admits that he/she has a problem, this is more likely to occur in the bargaining stage. Accepting that he/she has a problem is when you realise that you have a problem and start the process to resolve the issue.

That last paragraph in the quote above sums up *Donialists pretty well!

Can anyone explain to me why reduced sentences were being touted? Why would deals be cut with baulkers and avoiders? Deals should only have been offered in the early days with co-operators, not "arms-twisted" "show me the money" co-operators after having been offered the chance twenty times.

Let the *Hirds have their whey... (not to laugh at my own post, but when I 'googled' "whey" it was a genuine LOL; and credit to Imran Khan for emulating his quote).

I wonder if US Homeland Security knows that James Hird is the leader of a cult.

Why not earlier though, that's too far away*.

Waiting for appeal period to expire.

Forgot about that, do you think they* will bother?

Nope. Looks like they will pick up their bags and scutter off into the wilderness and never to be seen again.

 

[boneofshin]

I hope they do appeal, just to see them waste more big bucks on something that has no chance of success.

I'm waiting for the inevitable BF civil war between Jab*, Doss* v Lance* v Rines*, Beerfish*, Jade* and co*.

I hope they appeal just for the lulz.
