Well, whilst you're trawling back for the non-existent posts to back up your non-existent argument, have a look for the one about six months ago where I had to point out Hird's good side because nobody else could think of one and as usual fell back on abuse. I pointed out the way he reads the game is a big plus, as it still is, but it isn't enough.
this thread makes interesting reading, given the above post.

Don't get excited folks. Taking him off the list sends out the message, "This guys playing well". Leaving him on sends out the message, "Here's a bloke we want to get rid of 'cos his performances are dire." If you're a manager looking for a player, which one do you take more notice of?
But not being churlish, well done to Hird if he's off the list for the right reason. It's not a pleasant situation for anybody to be in, especially when he came down from a higher level. Doesn't change my opinion in the slightest, especially now I've had a chance to view the extended highlights and compare them with the complete nonsense posted by his fan club.
But don't take my word for it. It's there on the highlights. On the admittedly thin evidence provided by a few minutes of them, his positioning was poor and he didn't win any of the three headers shown. I'm open to correction if anybody sees it differently,and it may be the rest of his game was immaculate, but what's on there is poor defending.
The people who went and saw the whole match agreed he played well. I'll take that over your highlight-based view on a player you dont rate in the slightest.
Of course I'm sure everyone who went to the match all have Sam Hird-tinted glasses on and all want to portray that he's a good player when in reality he's dire.
