The Hun: Fri 27th Feb - James Hird decides against High Court challenge in his war against ASADA

[Proper Gander]

he is entitled to his opinion irrespective of the courts decision

indeed. Likewise, I'm entitled to find him a git

 

[Laphroaig]

Ten minutes ago Hird was an idiot if he proceeded. Now he's an idiot because he didn't.

Substitute "campaigner" for "idiot" (which better sums up the prevailing sentiment) and the mystery and hilarity melt away......

All becomes clear.

Trying to find more rhyming words is a bitch

Ive stopped

I took my shoes off.

I am socked to be sitting here.

 

[The Dodger]

good to hear. i wonder why there are so many unhappy people then?

From a shits and giggles sense it would have been fun. It might not be for you but from on an onlookers perspective its amazing to see how much cash can be thrown at frivolous poorly thought out exercises.

It's that train wreck thing.

Get it right.

Locked to be sitting here.

Just as we're entitled to laugh at him for having an opinion that is now clearly and provably wrong.

Sitting here at the EFC with the other geese. Flocked to be sitting here.

I put the stereo on

I am rocked to be sitting here.

 

[Oneiros]

So he was coerced, bullied, intimidated and induced into this decision too?

Yeah, by judges this time

 

[mxett]

of course he is. so he should continue the fight or give a decent reason for changing his actions. he went to court to fight for the players. now he is stopping it for the players. it's rubbish. we both know he is stopping because he got legal advice that an appeal has no hope and he doesn't want more costs orders. it is nothing to do with the players.

Not appealing because a win in an appeal is unlikely is hardly an unreasonable decision

Sorry - someone at the door. Knocked to be sitting here

 

[mxett]

all us bomber fans crowded around the wireless to hear the decision. We flocked to be sitting here

 

[Southern Urchins]

seems to be a lot of upset BF folk in this thread. Has he made the wrong decision guys?

Yes. We have been assured the investigation is unlawful and James was fighting for every little sports club around Australia.
He owed it to everyone from the canteen lady to the boot studders to keep the fight going against this injustice.
He simply had to appeal for us all. Who will be the next victim of this conspiracy?

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Sitting here in my wife's dress.

I am frocked to be sitting here.

 

[Rich]

How does Nathan Bock feel about all of this?

 

[tigerfan11]

Not appealing because a win in an appeal is unlikely is hardly an unreasonable decision

it is also an admission that the investigation was lawful. he can't have it both ways. which was my original point.

 

[compact72]

You guys are hilarious.

Ten minutes ago Hird was an idiot if he proceeded. Now he's an idiot because he didn't.

Can't please some people.

Well there you go, his an idiot either way. You finally realised.

I think people only wanted him to proceeded for the lulz

 

[JP2]

Of course he didn't take it to the high court. He already knows the investigation was illegal and that the players were denied constitutional rights. It would be beneath him to test this claim before a legal authority as lowly as the full high court of Australia.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Looks like the Coterie have pulled the credit card out.

They will no longer be docked to be sitting there.

 

[PieBeast]

Yeah, let's laud him for making a correct decision after wasting millions of dollars, giving the rather unfortunate supporter base a false hope and making them look like utter cretins in the process and making sure the players have absolutely no chance of cutting deals

 

[Oneiros]

he is entitled to his opinion irrespective of the courts decision

As the saying goes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but no one is entitled to their own facts. Court case and appeal later and the legality of the investigation has progressed from opinion to fact.

Not appealing because a win in an appeal is unlikely is hardly an unreasonable decision

Such a pity he didn't apply this logic six months ago.

Late as ever!
