It doesn't matter who he was referring to, those will be the ones that fingers are pointed at. Hird has had 3 years to see what the media and the public do with that sort of comment and in my opinion he should know better. And I am not saying that I disagree. I agree with what he is saying now and I have agreed with a number of things he has said along the way. But his delivery has been truly putrid. He'll say something inflammatory at the wrong time, he'll smile at the wrong time. He'll say enough to get certain people furious and provide material for 6 articles before he says anything else. This is the latest of a long list of PR ****ups that he is responsible for. You don't need to defend Hird to me, I think he has been treated abysmally in this, but many of the things he has said and done since February 2013 has been completely wrong and have ultimately hurt the club.
These comments will not be interpreted as referring to Hal Hunter, and he will never clarify them, just leaving them for the hatemongers to interpret in their own way. Tell me in a month if they were worthwhile.
