    Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

    James Hird and his Dad have barely spoken in 10 years. Alan Hird is getting his updates from his daughter. They are a very disturbed family desperate for fame.

      Yeah. That's what I thought too.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

        I must say it is very strange for a father to still be in Brisbane days after his son's hospitalization. That's abnormal in my view. He's retired, got time on his hands.
        Sure as hell cast a wide net when seeking to aportion blame for the mistakes made - Gill McLachlan, Mike Fitzpatrick, the Gilliard government, ASADA, WADA, the EFC, Uncle Tom Cobbley, Snowy on the Trams and the tuck shop lady at James' primary school. Looks like he's taken a leaf out of Heath Shaw's songbook.

          I'm not going to link the fathers interview to the plight James Hird finds himself in. There were enough holes in the fathers story to say he hasn't got all of the facts and that he was likely acting on his own and perhaps he's not the best informed.

          Most fathers, even ones with strained relationships, would have made their way in to see their son and check-up on the grand children but perhaps the relationship is too far gone. At the very least he should not have done an interview.

          It's too much like a soap opera for me.

            Did anyone read Graham Cornes article the other day? It must have been in the AA linked with the sun. It's early fav for worst article of the year.

              The man outside Hoyts.

              Seriously I parked my car in the shopping centre car park and he was blming everyone I went to three shops-one of them the chemist-got back to the car and was around the corner from home and he was still going, I'd mentally switched off (I was only driving after all) when he mentioned a name I knew and I realised he was still going.

                I found it amusing when he said "He won't play footy again, he's too old"!!! Dad must have been in a coma for a while.

                  I didn't see it. Cornes articles are designed to be click bait and looks like he got you there. What was the gist of what he said?


                  * disclaimer. I know Graham quite well and one on one, or in a group of people, he's a terrific bloke. But yes, he loves attention and being noticed.

                    He blamed the media for Hird self harming. This is despite him being part of said media and the media not talking about Hird for 8 months.

                      Funny isn't it the media getting in the media and saying it's the medias fault .
                      Oh and then camping back out the front of his house in more numbers saying we need to leave them alone !

                        My thoughts on the whole drug scandal. I hope like hell it doesn't happen but would the sympathy towards Essendon shift if one or more of the players gets cancer, or possibly even worse if one of them fathered a child and it was disabled

                          It's taken a lot of victims already.

                            Exactly. Hird and everyone involved deserves no sympathy for exactly that reason. They've also expressed no remorse or taken ownership of their actions

                              Just read an article saying James is in ICU still, Thought his dad said he was ok now ..

                              It's been a long drop , seriously this is beyond a joke, as much as I have no time for him, the whole thing has just been a horrid mess.
                              And yes maybe he is to blame. But was anyone around to pull in the reigns at any stage?
                              Seems life has a lot of people who tell you how good you are when your up but aren't there when it's getting out of hand.
                              James ego became massive and all his life being told how good he was made him think he was invincible.
                              So many stars in any form end up this way. Seems prominent in child actors.

                                Is ICU the ward where you have to glove and gown up before you can even visit? It's where they took the old man after his heart attack he was in there a few days then went on the usual ward. Man, that place is heavy. You're not supposed to touch things or sit down or stuff.
