It's not ok. But frank has one rule for some...

Existing clubs are exempt. It's only if they try to change their name.

If Greek and Croatian is considered to be ethnic, then so is Irish.

All I know is it's the same pack of whinging bitches that bring these non-stories up all the time.

:-({|=

Sometimes the FFA are just beyond a facepalm.

Until the FFA allows these guys to get the next A Legaue license ahead of SMFC then there is no hypocrisy - SMFC supporters still use the Hellas chant and so perpetuate a link with their heritage so why not these guys.

FMD, because the FFA's policy says new clubs cannot use names and logos with any national or religious affiliations.

One more time:
FFA'S POLICY

Read the fucking NCIP before commenting

No no no... One way or another it MUST be the ethnics fault rather than the FFA. Read the 442 guidelines, FFS. ;)

=d>

Why do you all hide?

Cause they're well 'ard

The southern cross can be seen from the entirety of the southern hemisphere. Its also on the Brazilian flag IIRC. But its linked heavily to Australia culturally and symbolically.

Is that guy hiding his face with a short from Mafia the PC game?

I think the fact mafia is spelled incorrectly with two [size=7]F[/size]s and the two [size=7]F[/size]s and the [size=7]A[/size] are in a different colour is the point of the t-shirt

we have a winner.

you sir get a sticker ;)

Hope the sticker is vaguely fascist in it's design ;) o:)

This topic is still producing the LOLs.

Just for the pathetic minded who actually take it seriously:

Shamrock Rovers is the biggest and most successful club ever to come out of Ireland. Their crest is somewhat unsurprisingly - a shamrock.

The whinging bitches who are trying to make out that this an example of a political, ethnic and/or religious construct that has got through the net are simply pathetic.

Similar examples might be a team being started by local fans and calling themselves Morwell Leeds United with their badge based on a white rose. It relates to football and directly so. It would take a complete nonce to assume that they were involved with a Yorkist overthrow of the establish Royal lineage.

God help us if they ever have to play a team named Mangalore United (red rose badge) , or Liverpool NSW or Scouse Roar Rovers in the NPL with their duplicitous Tudoristic heraldry! Should be good one to get along to Bosworth Park for.

Red Star Bayswater North would be an interesting addition. Should it get through? Even with, the deity help us, a red star as an emblem! Probably, as it has a direct football link via a long existing and iconic club. No more likely to offend the pc sensitivities than Redbank Locomotive.

My greatest laugh will come when a few workers from the Central Mill south of Bundaberg get together to register their new team. ISIS WARRIORS are going to be a worldwide media storm. Can't imagine what that this would do to the caged minds aroud Albert Park,

Paulc is back and lurking in a predictable thread :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You got it.

This Darwin club does not carry baggage like some of the ex mono ethnic NSL clubs do.
They don't wave flags or sing nationalistic chants or songs.
They don't try and impose their country's name in big letters on front of their shirt.
They don't give mainstream the one up, don't have political riots or selfeshly keep to themselves.

Having said that I don't like any replicated name from another country but out of the limelight and at Z grade level let them be and have the fun.

so in other words change and bend the rules for certain ethnic clubs? :oops:

STFU dickhead.

Pity this forum doesn't have the same policy for these two

You made the mitake of replying to a paulc "effniks out" post.


We've missed you pauly :lol:

You've completely ignored the difference. It's a behavioral issue that influences the progress of the game.

No one seems to mind that on the same day as the Shamrock Rovers game, the double header included a team called University Azzurri? :-k

Are they a new team?

I tend to agree with an above poster though that this is a grey area at the very least as I assume teams can still be set up called Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Club? Maybe not

I know there's shit loads of teams like that in our amateur leagues but they aren't under the FFA umbrella anyway I guess

[size=4]Edit to be more specific in the club name I chose in the example[/size]

University Azzurri were established before the NCIP, so the rules in question don't apply to them.

Do those that actively promote Ustasha, give of Nazi salutes, have 'white boys' stickers and spend their time on social media/in forums venting their hatred and bile towards Serbs not see just the tiniest bit of hypocrisy in claiming racism?
