My lack of comprehension?

Reading what you say.

Fact is you stated you never rated him. I can only read what you have written and you have written that you never rated him. In my eyes, and I can only speak for myself but assume others would agree, that reads that you have never rated him in any facet. Is the reader supposed to make assumptions about what you have written by interpreting what you haven't written?

Before Hird was a coach he was a player, if you have never rated him then your statement means that you never rated him as a player.

Comprende?

You're right about one thing you are making assumptions. It's your problem if you interpret it that way but do not tell me that is what I meant. Im telling you right now that is not what i meant. Perhaps what you need to do for future reference is to think before commit to posting pusillanimous statements, knowing the history in other threads your vexatious nature and your apocryphal posts. The sentence is question mentions his arrogance not his playing ability. Next time ill be sure to use one syllable words so you can interpret it correctly and ill add synonyms just so you don't lose the thread of what I'm saying and can consolidate the meaning.

At no point was I assuming anything, I was interpreting what you stated as all people have to on a public forum. Personally if I didn't rate someone in only one facet i.e. personality I would outline that.

Was probably a tad harsh questioning your knowledge of football but in my interpretation of your statement you were wrong but I would hardly think that calling you on that is a cowardly statement. If you find my posts annoying that is your opinion but it is also your opinion as to the accuracy of them I really couldn't give a rats arse what you do/don't believe.

I find it slightly childish to suggest that you are so far above me in intellect that I can't carry on a discussion without dumbing it down but I guess that's how you have interpreted my response.

FWIW, I have never rated Hird either BUT he was a brilliant footballer in his day.

As for Essendon the only thing I like about them is their guernsey.

Play on.

Yeah ok we'll leave it at that. I don't even agree with you about their guernsey

With all the bad news at the club dominating the news im hearing we may have good news tomorrow.
Only small on the scheme of things but ill take anything that lifts the players spirits

A star of the club has signed a new contract.
Wow im sure there's no get out clauses in that one if they are playing for no points next year

That would be a given Days id imagine.
I think all players would have legal recourse if that scenerio happened

James Hird has called a press conference for 11.30am

Will he, or won't he coach this week ???

Coach??

Mate that's the last thing on his mind at the moment/last 4 weeks.....

[GWW]

What a mess.

For all the good Hird did 15/20 years ago as a player, it appears his lasting legacy on the Essendon FC will be a negative one.

Not saying though that other parties dont have a share of blame, including the AFL itself.

James Hird has called a press conference for 11.30am

Standard
He has one every Friday.
Club will probably make a player announcement aswell

[Booney]

Another bloody Hird presser. When will the bloke work out he needs to STFU?

We all waited with anticipation for week after week while the AFL said nothing and couldn't figure out why. Meanwhile Golden Jim fires off one shot after another in the media thinking he's doing the right thing. Well Jim, you should have shut up 6 months ago and said nothing until the investigation was finished and charges laid and either proven or not. Now any respect most people have for him has diminished as he rattles on and on about how innocent he and all the other parties are.

Fair dinkum, the bloke is now looking a serious goose and I cant wait for the AFL to finally bring the sledge hammer down.

Since Hird took over he has had a pre match presser every Friday at roughly the same time.
Usually chats about team selection and other game related stuff.
Unless something drastic has happened overnight I cant see this being anything other than a regular presser.
I may be wrong though

GAWN - will resign today. Bomber Thompson to coach the year out.

[Tubby]

No Hird, Goodwin replaced him at the last minute, was watching on the AFL site and it cut out.

[cracka]

And that statement sums up your football knowledge. He is an arrogant Karmichael Hunt but he was a brilliant footballer.

Why do people have trouble differentiating between great people and great footballers? They aren't mutually exclusive. Why the shock when a gun footballer turns out to be an arrogant person? Carey, Roo, Hird, Buckley would all be described as arrogant yet they were great players.

Put someone on a pedestal and the only thing they can do is fall.

And there lies your lack of comprehension. Ill spell it out in simpleton terms for you to comprehend. I never said I didn't rate him as a player. I merely said I've never rated him. I've always said and believed he was a self centered and arrogant person. Read what I say. Not what you want to hear....

Good show of faith for the club in these challenging times

[Jim05]

Strange that Hird wasnt at the presser I must admit.
The clubs official line is that he was held up at a meeting and they didnt want to cancel the presser so Goodwin took over.
Plenty of people running with the story that Hird is locked away in Little's office getting his marching orders

"That you cracka? Turbo here. Just because you swallowed a f@%king dictionary when you were about fifteen doesn't give you the right to pour a bucket of s#!t over the rest of us."

That was actually Turbo that wrote that if you look back through the posts. It was also Turbo who stuffed up when he hit quote, then had to delete some quotes to submit his reply which then made it look like me saying pusillanimous, vexatious & apocryphal. I'm the one who submitted F@#$en what. I've got no idea what those words mean.
