Bring on the notices so we can get to banning these campaigners.

And tird has to appeal as he said he is 100% responsible. He has to keep pretending he is innocent. He is the band that kept playing as the titanic was sinking. Idiot.

It will be even funnier if Hird stands down, Little and his board get stood down, Thompson goes to Gold Coast and then 6 months later Hird wins the appeal.

He will then of course go and demand his job back because he has been vindicated and the new board will tell him to GTFO

I haven't kept up with this but if * don't appeal and Hird does and wins what happens?
*hird and * were basically running the case in parallel - so if one drops off (as * has) the other can keep going and achieve the same outcome.

However *Hird's position is interesting in that he approaches the court as a person affected by ASADA's actions. *Hird claims that those actions against the players causes a knock on damage to his reputation.

What that means is that if (and it's a huge if) the appeal court is persuaded by *Hird's appeal, then it could limit the remedies it provides to only what protects *Hird's reputation. He could potentially just win himself a pyrhhic victory.

* was in a much stronger position than *Hird to run the "for the players" line.

Caro says *he reportedly faces the axe at an emergency board meeting to be held on Thursday, called today by Paul Little after the news came out that *Hird would be appealing.

It. Is. Happening.
Gee, it doesn't get any better than this does it?

Glorious.
