I'm a receiver - James Hird

[TigerTank]

To the tune of Neil Diamond's I'm a believer

I'm a receiver - By James Hird (with a little help from TigerTank)


I was getting far too many in-juries
Knocked from pillar to post every game
Even (Troy) Luff was out to get me
That’s the way it seemed
If I’d touch the ball then I’d soon get creamed.

Then I saw a space
Now I’m a receiver
Not a trace
Of guts in my game
I’m a jib, Oooo!
I’m a receiver, I couldn’t shepherd if I tried.

Things all changed when Sheed-y made me captain
Now I get my teammates to take the blows
The boys all pass it to me
Hit me on the tit
Even though they think I’m a pompous git

Then I run to space
Now I’m a receiver
Not a hair out of place
Or dirt you will find
I am soft, Oooo!
I’m a receiver, you'd better believe it, it’s no lie

 

[TigerTank]

You should clap along with this while you sing it!

How's Richo the cream puff...injured again?

 

[Smokin]

haha coming from a bloody RICHMOND supporter!!!

maybe you should be writing that about that Campbell character who is SERIOUSLY LACKING A HEART!!!!!!!!!!

If you guys had a player as tough as Hird, then maybe you wouldnt be the laughing stockof the league!!!

not a bad little song tho.

 

[Fallen Hero]

How's your recieving going TT? Able to sit on a chair yet?

 

[topdon]

I'm sorry TigerTank, but that was a poor attempt at humour, at the expense of a champion who is anything 'but' a receiver!!

I know you are going to say 'lighten up...it was only a joke', but there is a limit! Hird is one of out most courageous players. Yes he does the flashy things, but he also does the hard things.

For him to come back and 'still' be a great player after what he went through says something about Hird the person.

TT?.....piss poor mate!

What a stupid thread.

The only receiving Hird does is receiving illegal knock to the back of his head and in his ribs.

He's got more guts than you have idiot. I get sick of idiots who knock champions. This is an example of that.

And no one has to bail Hird out of jail for drinking charges or for any indecent assault.

Hird is a champion in every sense of the word.

Well said

Please, if your going to use a tune that old, why didn't you use Kevin Bartlett?

 

[Danny Chook Fan Club]

Once again the collective humour joint of the average BigFooty poster has been dislocated. I loved it so much, I thought I'd post a sequel.

To the tune of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye (or CCR if you like):

Oooh, I bet you wonder if it's true
About my plans to beat the bruise
Some of you guys are really tough
And you know I don't like it rough

It took me by surprise I must say
How easy it is to play

Oooh, receiving on the outside
No longer will I go in for my side
Oooh, Jimmy plays out on the outside
Far enough away to save his hide
Jimmy, Jimmy yeah

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But James Hird does it all of the time
Getting frees no matter where he goes
He taught Lloydy everything he knows

Watching while the Johnsons take the whacks
And Jimmy hangs out on the fringe of the packs

Don't you know that James Hird plays on the outside
His lack of courage cannot be denied
Oooh Jimmy plays out on the outside
Cos messed up hair will really hurt his pride
Jimmy, Jimmy yeah

People say you won't get hurt if you
Go in hard, but that just won't do
I'd much rather wait for the handball out here
I might even kick goal of the year

Oh Sheeds don't make me go to close to the play
I'd rather hang out wide, receive all day

Don't you know that James Hird plays on the outside
His tackle count needs to be magnified
Oooh Jimmy plays out on the outside
And get three votes from the maggots in white
Another Brownlow, yeah.

That's a bit rich, coming from someone who posts such a ****house topic about a proven champion of the game.

Look at your own team full of drunken softies first.

 

[TigerTank]

DCFC,

Anything I can do, you can do better ... .

 

[ptw]

gotta agree chooky, with Tiger Tank anyone is fair game and it is a poor sign of the state of these boards that half the population seem to get out of the wrong side of the cage every day.

I loved both of them !

here's mine.....to the tune of "I love aeroplane jelly....."

I love getting kicks easy.....
getting kicks easy for me.....

I hang on the outside and wait for the call....
34 times a match but not once a "hard ball"

I love getting kicks easy....
getting kicks easy for me.


ptw

 

[TigerTank]

Fallen Zero,

Not just an uneducated troll, an unregistered one to boot.

 

[CJH]

Hmmmm! What is this world coming too? Now I know we always expect the Essendon faithful to jump up in defence of themselves at the slightest possible injustice to their team (like as if they actually need defending - all they have to do is s****** and say "scoreboard" and the rest of us have no comeback) but what the hell are Collingwood supporters doing defending Essendon.

Get back in your rightful place which is back here with us digging the boots in at every opportunity!

BTW, I did think both were funny because, well, there may well be an element of truth in them!

TT & DCFC .....You should be ashamed of yourselves

Love your work Danny and TT. Mine is to the tune of Chisel's Standing on the Outside.

Standin' on the outside lookin in,
Standin' on the outside lookin in,
Oh-oh, I've never gone near a hard ball
Standin' on the outside lookin in,
Get paid a stack of money and we always win
But all I'm gonna do is stand out here and call

When I go strollin' down the members wing
I just wait for my team-mates to go in
Oh-oh I got a nice Mercedes-Benz
Standin' on the pack edge you can see
A wide receiver oh yeah that's me
I'll still get the three votes in the end

My team-mates are paid illegally
Don't worry 'bout the cap on salaries
Five grand down for each handball I've received
And I know...
And I know...

The first thing I do when they bounce the ball down
Is run so wide that I'm almost in town
No amount of talk's gonna make me lay a tackle

Is there really that much difference between the two groups of supporters??? except Collingwood fans don't get to watch their team play in Finals...

 

[elt]

hehehe good to see the sense of humour bypass was successful Magpie-Greg.

Oh btw that bunch of Hawk receivers still cleaned up the Pies when we played you.

 

[TigerTank]

elt - I love Cold Chisel, but I think your version might be even better than Don Walker's.


And not a bad effort from ptw either.

"Aeroplane jelly?" Is that some cryptic reference to Essendon's logo?

TT, DCFC, PTW

Maybe if your teams had any champion players like Hird, you might actually beat the Bombers, instead of getting flogged by them.

If you want to talk about receivers Daniel Chick would have to take the cake. Unless you included that twit Trent Croad.

They probably give and recvei to each other which explains why the hawks are going to lose their fourth in a row this week.

WHo said only Collingwood cant win in June ?

Bye bye hawks.

Daniel Chick a receiver!!! Dear o dear, someone forgot to take their medication this morning.

 

[Smokin]

You guys here think you are funny, but the thing is, us Essendon and Collingwood supporters will ALWAYS have the last laugh, you know, here is a song I made up for you kids -

We're going to be around in 10 years time do-dah, do-dah!!

We're going to be around in 10 years time do-da-do-dah day!!!!

hahahaha

wait, wait I gotta sneeze -

ah-ah-ah Merger!!!!!!!!!

ah-ah-ah Folded!!!!!!!!!

Ah, isnt it good that in about 10 years Ess, Coll and Car are going to be pretty much the only teams left from Vic! Isnt it a shame that the combined boards of the rest of the comp wouldnt have half the intelligence of Danny Southern!! I reckon they'd struggle to organise a root in a brothel!!

 

[jaworski]

Quite honestly, this board is full of wangers. What sort of a tosspot wants Victorian clubs to fold? Smokin, that's who. Buddy, you are a nob.
