Up the tunnel at the end of the game I politely said to Jack, "Dont worry, Jack, we still have 2016 mate" I was being sincere..
his reply " I can't hear you mate, I can't hear you" He yelled it at me. I was taken aback but then enjoyed the fact something so silly could get under his skin.
The best was when Sloth walked up the tunnel
PP78 starts screaming "HACK! HACK! HACK!" at him
The Sloth looks up with his death stare, I calmly say to him "You must be a hack you acknowledged him calling you such"
Sloth skulks away and complains to security about us
Security did nothing, what a great night!
Glad you got some enjoyment out of such a shitty game.
Your experience with Jack Bird mirrors one of mine back in June 2016.
Being the tragic sharks/Jets fan was pretty taken aback by his attitude.
At Henson, both he and Holmes were on the hill watching their mates run round. Asked nicely for a handshake or photo with my 9 year old son...Val Holmes jumped at the chance and couldn’t be more accomodating... the Bird... nah sorry “not interested” “you’ve seen enough”
Now, I get it, I wasn’t upset and just like whatever, my son... yeah whatever pretty devestated.
Upside was Holmes saw this and gave my son a fair chat and plenty of time...Bird - I was livid but winning a premiership evaporates all bad deeds.
End result, I watched Bird since 2016 and have nothing but hope that he can kick on further regardless.
My son though, a early teen with plenty of venom... loved every downfall of the Bird from Brisbane to last night..., as a parent, I get it but still sad to be honest. In saying that, Holmes is still his hero regardless of his cat antics.
In the words of Dalton from “Roadhouse” - be nice
