The curse of the bambino was hogwash. Most of those Red Sox teams for 86 years weren't very good
Yep, even them. That could be hard, though. I tried to support the Pies when they were playing Brisbane in a GF, because they were the Victorian side and I was watching the game at a mate's house, and his family are all Collingwood. I lasted a quarter.tigertim said:

:headscratch How does a not proven verdict about the players vindicate Hird's and EFC's stance? Their stance is that they are innocent and the rest of us are vilifying them (Hird and Essendon).
John Fahey's view of their 'stance':tigertim said:
"Essendon's behaviour though this was almost un-Australian," Fahey, who was WADA chief from 2007 to 2013, said.
"To effectively shoot the messenger, and prevent a proper examination of what everybody knows occurred – and everybody knows that what occurred was, to say the least, strange if not a breach of anti-doping rules.
"It is still extraordinarily strange that players could be given thousands of needles, off site.
"Every attempt was made to prevent an independent tribunal examining all the facts. That has cost literally millions of dollars and put the future sporting careers of many young footballers in jeopardy. It should have been dealt with long ago, and that is the tragedy of the whole case – that it wasn't allowed to proceed in a reasonable time to a proper conclusion.
"I can understand the players' relief. From the club's point of view, if they feel jubilant today then my advice is that they should re-read Ziggy Switkowski's report and then examine their own behaviour in this whole process. It has left a lot to be desired."
After what Essendrugs have managed to get away with I'd almost do laps of Vic park n Princes, Optus, Visy Whatever park naked if Colonwood n Carlscum could beat the druggies this year.CarnTheTiges said:

Who are the 'theys' that you refer to. I was talking about Hird and the EFC. The only one I know of who has publicly said they aren't guilty is the chief football writer of the Hun.
No.tigertim said:
What EFC did, and how they reacted to the investigation, is not a matter of opinion.
So TT...
Your satisfied that a club can give players thousands of injection's with no records and the caretakers of our game are prepared to let that meet their standards for no verdict?

the players weren't found to be guilty.
i think the tribunal was pretty scathing of the club. (i may be confused there.)
The tribunal were deliberating on the 34 show cause notices the players freceived and one danks received. The tribunal was not in a position to find the club and officials guilty or not guilty. Despite it being outside of their remit, they took the time to rip into the club and its practices.
Every Anzac day, I used to root for the bummers, cos I hate the maggots so much, now I will just watch the game and hope its a nil all draw.tigertim said:
So do Dank and all the others get their jobs back?tigertim said:
Does 'the weapon' give back his hush money and go back to work?
Does the injecting regime start up again?
Hird's 'stance' was so confident that he went to court, twice, trying have evidence suppressed.
