Live Event James Hird live in concert (Interview now in OP)

[BusterBob]

Her: Your name is central to this scandal.

Him: I don't believe those players are guilty. Tribunal vs CAS decision. That decision to send the message to the world is why we're being seen in that way. The only victims are 34 players.

Her: Lifelong relationships have been destroyed. Biggest cost?

Him: Personal friends that have gone ... the toll on the family has been very bad ... but it's not about us, but about the players.

Her: The label they will always carry with them. They'll be watching tonight. They want to know how you feel about what they're enduring.

Him: I feel very upset for them as people. I'm very close to some of those boys. (It's all about the branding, not about what's been injected ...).

Her: Your kids?

Him: My children have lived it, my eldest daughter is 16, my younger son is 6 ... that victim role for us ... it has to be about the players (not us). They're thinking 'I've done nothing wrong'. And that's fair.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

SOCIOPATH.

 

[hench]

"Why am I in this position? "

 

[ManWithNoName]

"What is the hardest part for you?

Jesus ****ing christ

 

[Oscarman]

Spat at??? I call bullshit

Must have been wearing Richmond shirts.

 

[Chris Ticehurst]

If Sarah Ferguson did this interview - he would have been destroyed in under 15 mins.

 

[dmc333]

Lol how it's not about how he's seen!

What did he hire Hanke for?

 

[gavaniacono]

SOCIOPATH.

Correct diagnosis.

 

[Super Hans]

Why is Gerard Whateley not conducting this interview?

 

[Arden]

Surprised he missed the opportunity to throw his kids under the bus.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

starting to sweat now

 

[TheEnsign]

Lol Tracey if you think players have been booed now. (Fairly or not) - wait until Dyson lines up for Round 1 2017. Specially if they're playing Freo or Weagles in WA.

 

[Avatar]

No follow ups to any previous answers. About 6 questions about the impact to him personally already!

 

[Davo23]

Anyone catch how many players were caught up in this?

I must have missed it.

It's either 33 or 35, or something in between?

 

[Mead]

It's self serving to wallow in guilt

 

[base615]

get the tissues

I'm not sure I could wank to this interview.

 

[marty36]

I'm confused how he can guarantee the players didn't take banned drugs but doesn't know what they took

WTF that makes no sense what so ever

 

[Gavstar]

Spat at lol wtf

McDevitt raises your spits for death threats .....

 

[catters_28]

Now this is attempting to promote sympathy for Hird. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Well I think we can all safely say this was what we all thought it was going to be when we saw it was going to be the hand picked Holmes to ask the questions

 

[gavaniacono]

If Sarah Ferguson did this interview - he would have been destroyed in under 15 mins.

I'd like the Wilson twins to have 5 mins with him.

 

[Oscarman]

If Sarah Ferguson did this interview - he would have been destroyed in under 15 mins.

There's at least 15 ABC journos that would have destroyed him inside 10 minutes.

 

[jerry springer]

Surprised he missed the opportunity to throw his kids under the bus.

still 5 minutes to go

 

[blackcat]

yelled at and spat at?

"spat at?" lies. this is like the British cycling team Team Sky, they started to lie about this. One person spitting does not make the fans spitting or the the team being spat and spat and spat on.

Tracey Holmes, I can put up with spin. but not lies like Sky Procycling lies

 

[Nikita Blue]

Ha self-serving... the first honest thing you have said tonight James.
