So they shoot 2 terrorists in Woolwich and they walk away; then taser an ex-footyballer and kill him. Might be better taking guns off em..

miguel - if you're genuine in it being facetious then I apologise.

No apology necessary PorP. Cheers anyway.

He lived over the road from me in Ipswich way back in 1989, when I was a lad, we would shout out to him and he would wave back, flash motor but on the whole you hardly knew he was there, quite sad to hear this news.

Remember that Wednesday team btw. Hirst was ace but made of glass. Shame was he would have probably gone to Utd instead of Cantona if he'd stayed fit.

Such a shame about Hirst. Crazy to think he could and did play centre-back as well.

You're mixing him up with Paul Warhurst, jed.

Hirst did once score against Man City then kept a clean sheet after Kevin Pressman ate too many pies at HT.

I've no doubt he would've been a star. Better than Shearer!

post of the day

Alex Ferguson tried buying Hirst six times BB. Wednesday turned him down every time. Would've smashed the record transfer fee at the time. (Can't recall exactly but we're talking 3.5-4m when the record was maybe 2.2.)

Aye anxious another one Wednesday found before you.

I've nowt against you anxious you seem a decent sort, but that manure label you carry has got an awful lot of fake in it.

Wednesday had the best of Hirst and that's how it should have been, much like Le tiss and Southampton, which is ironic in the sense Hirst was finished there.

Might've been 2, might've been 6, anxious. Whatever the number of enquiries, a quick google suggests that the fee would've been £4million. The British transfer record at the time was £2.3M.

Old Red Nose clearly thought Hirst was a bit special.

Anxious.
It's different. Every DC in the land is a man Utd fan. Man Utd has no soul as a result.
It's a brand sold on the NY stock market not a team playing just outside Manchester.

I've read a couple of Frank Skinner books and there are two points I absolutely subscribe to that he makes.

The first has little semblance here (that people should be allowed to accept little money in return of being left alone by the state)
But the other is that everyone should get a map and ruler and find their professional club.

Ofc that justifies many in the support of manure, but it cuts 90% of the free loading bandwagon jumpers who have never been tested in spirit and are as feckless and shallow as they come.

Best, Law and Charlton, thats how you explain it.

There are plenty of clubs who don't win owt but have plenty of pull.
What I'm saying about modern Utd is its all a facade.
Like suckling pigs at the tit of success.
Best thing for United would be to find themselves by roughing it with the rest, then they'd get respected.
Far too many associated with that club just buy into it, just as Keene suggested with his prawn sarnie remark.

I don't doubt United to be a top club, although club they ain't now they are a brand.
Like I say I feel for the genuine who are part of the locality.
Maggots everywhere that's the make up of humans.
Feckless.

Even championship clubs are foreign owned , and the Premier league is watched all over the world , far more than La liga  or Bundeslegia

You are busting a gut not to say Wednesday.
You are correct, but that's opportunism.
People making money off the back of others who by definition don't deserve it then 'play' with clubs that have loyal support.

Jesus I've lost the plot, I was indeed mixing him up with Warhurst.

I thought the Blades were the big club though, chip butty and all that

Woman on BBC just said when they tasered him and he fell down they gathered round and gave him a kicking when he was down
