    I was going to watch it but when I saw that tosser Bird I switched off. Not surprised to hear he had a condescending tone towards rural folk.

    One of them visited him for a piece last year it wasn't much better very disappointing, gonzo style reported talking of feeling afraid for his safety going in the gate.

    I don't really get the whole 'Fair play to him' stance. I feel sorry for him to a certain extent given his fear, but I wouldn't be wholeheartedly in support of what he did. He still killed an unarmed person.

    They haven't mentioned Ward's criminal record in this?

    exactly, on remand,60+ convictions, he weren't no pillar of society.

    Watched it just now on the player

    Charlie Bird is fond of his loaded questions

    Oh I don't know what the word to describe that row of headstones is. Vulgar maybe though that's a bit strong. Brash maybe?

    As a previous poster said, you'd buy a good car for the money that was put into the headstone.

    I dont understand why they say "John Ward, father of 11 children".. is "John Ward, a petty thief" not a more relevant description?

    Ha, Charlie probably read your comment and thought "Hmmm, I knew I should have had more about me in the Show. Next time, I'l talk about my beard for a bit, It's what the people want.."

    Is he undercover as a homeless person?

    It's a bit like TV3 production at the moment.. Nobody has mentioned the point that John Ward was a) breaking the law b) terrorising an old man and c) if he had not been on Nally's property, he would not have been shot..

    You can always trust the Travellers to bring a bit of class, humility and decorum to the burial process....

    Given that the eighth commandment is "Thou shalt not steal", I'm sure the irony of adorning his burial site with Christian symbols is not lost on anyone....

    If i'm remembering correctly Charlie started crying after firing a rifle in the antartic series. He wasn't shooting anything in particular, just into the distance. Possible bias about anyone using firearms given his questioning of PN.

    Or maybe he's just a wuss.

    This is the same Frog Ward that had at the time a warrant out for his arrest relating to his brandishing a slash hook at guards that came to his halting site.

    At the time of his death he was facing charges of attacking police officers with a slash hook.

    Must not have thought too highly of him.
    Wouldn't hold a candle to some of their graves around here.

    Ward was going in to rob Nally. The man was pushed to the limit and he reacted to protect himself and his property. Its easy to speculate in your urban surroundings but its a different thing when a person is isolated in a rural area and living in constant fear which Padraig Nally was.

    im from a rural area myself so i have a fair idea of the kind of place he lives in but my understanding of it is that ward was leaving the mans farm and was shot in the back.is that true or is my understanding of it wrong.i have no problem with his defending himself or even his property but im not sure that that was the case in this instance.

    "It criminalised him without the facts"....

    What, ignoring the fact that he was a convicted criminal in the process of a crime?

    I think Charlie lived out in the wilderness with some broke developer for 8 months.

    Charlie Bird started slagging the mans accent at one stage, no bizhness in the mmaart today.
    He kept needling nally into answering questions that he clearly was not comfortable with.
    But bird really doesnt have a clue of country life they might have well sent Rosanna davidson to do the interview.

    Bird you are some twat.
