*hird was/is right.

Ryder was lucky. Very lucky.


Lucky he moved his sorry butt from Tulla to Alberton with his gonads still intact and doubly lucky he doesn't have to listen to the cult of *jimmah every day for the next three years.
Still to be proven. ;)

And this is what the King F***wit had to say about it in his post match presser. So bitter,so deluded.


JAMES Hird dismissed Paddy Ryder's match-winning final term as 'lucky' but Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley believes the ruckman has plenty more heroics left in him.

Ryder kicked four goals – including three in the last quarter – to lift the Power to a 13-point win over Essendon in a high-scoring affair at Etihad Stadium.

But it wasn't enough to impress his former coach, with Hird claiming the ruckman's performance had little impact on the final result.

"I thought Ryder was held for three quarters; I thought he was lucky," Hird said after the game.

"He had four possessions at three-quarter time. So I didn't think (his impact was noteworthy) - no."
What a sad human being he is.

Saw Ryder's comments after the game about the booing - all class.

But he buttered our bread *burnt toast* post game last week stating "North are a good team, they finished Top 4 last year.." fairy floss talk and walk.

Loving the fact Ryder's performance is really stinging them. My sister's * friends were MORE ROPABLE than I was :mad: when Carey's homecoming game vs North back in 2003 which says plenty :eek:… let me tell you. But it's all good.. they tried ridiculously hard to outplay North and STILL LOST!! Had more scoring shots on the weekend and STILL LOST.. lucky for them the Paul Roos experiment is clearly failing.

I missed this. What did he say?
Interviewed on the ground, just laughed and said "they are great supporters and that's what home crowds do". Made Hird* look even smaller, which was quite a feat.

As we move closer to page 1000 in this simply wonderful display of sympathy to *essendon, I happened to recall many great moments of my misspent University days, listening to the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel in the Melbourne University music room.

I got to thinking that a slight re-wording of "Bridge over Troubled Water" might be a fitting (though very insulting to Paul Simon) tribute to the great man, *sir *james, *jimmy, *bigears, *hird. And I do so because *he more than anyone else, in all of our dark moments in recent times, has tried *his utmost to cheer us up. Thanks heaps, *james. (Do what you can to weave in the added "watch your back" bit.)

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
*james will dry them all

He’s on your side

When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
He will lay himself down
Like a bridge over troubled water
He will lay himself down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
He will comfort you

He'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
He will lay himself down
Like a bridge over troubled water
He will lay himself down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
James’s sailing right behind (watch your back)
Like a bridge over troubled water
He will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water,
He will ease your mind

J.A Hird QC: "Your honour, I'd like that last quarter stricken from the record."

Judge: "Denied!"

*Albert and wife whisper together briefly, then:

J.A Hird QC: We shall be seeking leave to appeal that decision, Your Honour
Just putting in the rest. :thumbsu:

Nah it would be - "Your Honour, Mr Hird was forced to accept four quarters, scoring and time keeping by a combination threats and inducements - and Tanya took lots of notes"

WankyHankytweets "Hird smashes it in the Supreme Court"

*albert has all of the pre-requisites to be a top silk - undeniable talent, preening arrogance, a smug sense of self-satisfaction and, above all, even when he's clearly in the wrong he still thinks he's right.

Think you'll find it's "I - James Albert Hird, Brownlow medallist, premiership player, winner of 23 ANZAC Day medallions and owner of most luscious locks in football - would like that last lucky quarter stricken from the record."

Except for the talent bit, he could be the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
