*james hird - " I can't wait to tell my side of the story."




Nek Minnit, hire *QC Julian Burnside to bury the report.
No, no, no.

It's to protect him from half truths, and probably lies.

This whole situation is very, very, very, very, very, very complex and he is shocked to be sitting here.

When the truth comes out he will be in a very good place, likely the Bahamas or a warm, tropical island where there is no need for injections to get a tan and no extradition treaty in place with Australia.

Did I mention that the situation is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very complex? Maybe he means Vitamin B complex. Not sure.

Do excuse my intrusion, but this thread is an absolute classic. I have almost spat my drink all over my phone/ keyboard on a few occassions. Nicely done lads and lasses.
Have a look at the Banner Suggestions thread. Some absolute pearler ideas.
This year you need to have a sense of humour to be a Roos support and stay sane.

If they lost all their points last year and this year, lost Hird and other coaches, lost draft picks and lost six months during high they could not play any football or train, I wouldn't be fussed if the months were mostly in the off-season. Go for the short cut and you have to be forced to take the long way round, and three years basically wasted would be ok by me.

Assuming of course that it hasn't all been a terrible misunderstanding and they aren't in a very good place when the reports and findings and sanctions are handed out.
The Demons and GWS will be lining *Essendon up in 2014 for some percentage boosting wins and Hird will be coaching the Shepparton Stragglers !

If Burnside takes this on my opinion of him will nosedive. A long way from the human rights of desperate refugees to protecting Hird's reputation.
H to H he is a deathbed convert to progressive causes - for the first thirty years of his career he appeared in nothing but commercial cases for the big six blue chip companies. The first case he did for the "good guys" was the Patrick's case for the MUA - he still does a shit load of commerical work

You have obviously been listening to Goebells on SEN in the morning!

Look, I need to get an informed opinion from somewhere , and where better than straight from someone within the club. I mean, there is no way Timmy has a vested interest in this. None.

Very, very, very, very, very complex.

Oh yeah, and sensitive.

Just like Zondor's nether regions.

Some good posting over here...

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/hird-may-seek-to-gag-asada-report.1022851/page-6

This course of action is seriously embarrassing for Hird, but clearly not as embarrassing as what's in the report in his opinion.
Very good point

Can you see Burnside and Hanke sitting down for cigars together?
GOLD!

I dont understand why an innocent man needs 4 QC's, a human rights lawyer and Injunctions?
Because he is shocked to be sitting here, oh, and he takes full responsibility...apparently.
I can't hit refresh fast enough! :thumbsu:

Now Tim and his lickspittle have started to openly mock people that claim he is biased - I have to find a new station to listen to when I am driving the kids to school. FFS Robbo is more even handed about it than Timmy

My money is on *Hird doing this so that when the report comes out and *Essendon get a two year de-registration, he can still trot out the "we're innocent, we thought we were doing the right thing" line so that supporters are more then happy to empty their pockets in support of the club.

It's going to be a lot harder to gain the support of *Essendon supporters when there is a report stating systematic injections of multiple banned substances.

EDIT: reading more, looks like I was way off, and it turns out it's more likely that *Hird wants to throw the club under the bus and sacrifice the chance to clear *Essendons name so that the public won't know his dirty laundry. even funnier

Although Robbo did sound like he was going to cry last night when Schwartz was saying Hird should go.

And the MUA were not short of cash either. He didn't do it pro bono.

Getting a bit of an 'Island Of Dr. Hirdeau' vibe.

And he'll have a fresh stable of banned *essendon players to use as human guinea pigs.

(Which he will then hybridise with real guinea pigs.)
