Any animosity I had towards Paddy Ryder has died down to pretty much nothing. He was awkward, he messed the club around, he gave interviews he probably shouldn't have, and yeah we effectively got Langford and Cooney for him but right now he's sitting out for a year with the rest of them, he went through the same hell as the rest of them and that's our club's fault. The fact that he and his partner got so spooked by what the ASADA investigators told him, particularly about genetic issues while he was having a kid, tells you that he went through some serious shit in his head. It's very easy for us to say how he should have interpreted the investigators from our positions back here, but remembering what it was like waiting and worrying for my first kid, I'd be jumping at shadows too. Time to give the guy a break I say.
Plus booing's gross
