Does anyone know if there are any posters on the Bomber Board who actually see past the Hird fanboi cult? I can barely trust myself to venture over there, surely there is the odd poster who adds some balance?
We simply don't know what it's like to barrack for a successfull club that appointed a club great as coach...

Robert Walls: 84 games. 55 wins. 29 losses. Eight finals. 5 wins. Three losses. Two Grand Finals. One premiership. Sacked one year after coaching Carlton to a flag.
Brett Ratten: 116 games. 59 wins. One draw. 56 losses. Four finals. One win. Three losses. Sacked after losing to Gold Coast.
James Hird: 66 games. 36 wins. 29 losses. One draw. One final. One loss. Re-appointed for two seasons after receiving a 12 month ban for bringing the game into disrepute.

I wonder how Hird got over his debilitating foot stress facture that sidelined him for over a season.. The same foot issue that ended the careers of Croad and that guy from Geelong????

Hird actually came back from that a fitter, stronger and better play. Well most others aren't the same player whilst some even barely play another game...

He was a regualar client of Shane Carter back in those - Convicted Drug Felon

HARKER 's post a couple pages back made me think: far too many people DO seem to fall under Hird's spell.

He seems to be one those people, and there have been these types throughout history, that just seem to cause a very large amount of people to blindly worship and follow them. It's quite sickening for those of us unaffected.
And yes, quite dangerous.

I have no doubt the fans would do crazy things for that man.

Just watched last night's Footy Classified , big thanks to The_Wookie for uploading :thumbsu:

Thought Bomber was barely coherent a couple of times and a little dazed , maybe had a few steadying ales before the interview. Hope he did better in his ASADA interview as he was all over the shop.

Was going to post in that thread but would have been carded and not to bag Hird but to just ask people to not follow blindly.

For gods sake, take the name "Hird" out of the equation and replace it with "Knights" and then discuss the situation.

Hird has been nothing but a hypocrite throughout all this but all he has to do is smile and say sorry and the supporters just melt.
