An apology is useless. The damage has been done.

Even if it was an apology, given the way the Telegraph do apologies it'd be some tiny little thing that everyone would miss.

Thats a classic news corp way of apology . They done it in every paper murdoch owns around the world. Hell they did a small apology when andrew bolt got sued and got told they had to make a full oage apology

Someone has already upgraded her description on Wikipedia lol.

What are the best ways to hurt both the Terrograph and specifically Bec Wilson. This is one of the most stupid articles that I have ever seen on football . My ultimate goal would be for the Terrograph to retract the story and issue an apology and for Bec Wilson to get the sack. Something which can't come soon enough. I would love to see the football fans unite and see it happen.

When will the FFA grow some balls and throw these idiots under the bus

And in case anyone forgets, back in 2004 Andrew Scipione openly attended the funeral of notorious pedo, Frank Heuston, the founder of Hillsong.

If people had greater critical and evidenced based thinking skills, articles like these would have less influence. But people wilfully allow non-evidenced based teaching (religion) to occur in primary and secondary school education. So the die is set in childhood. As a result, you get wilfully ignorant adults who disparage academia and science, while embracing tabloid journalism.

This is like terrorism in Paris according to Wilson and Alan Jones.

Well jumping on the grass after a late derby win is a small step from a mass shooting.

No sympathy

Begin by behaving yourselves.

Here's a link you can access. http://www.news.com.au/news/nsw/red-card-the-banned-football-fans-from-10-a-league-clubs/story-fni0cx12-1227618277879

If guilty (IF) then I have no sympathy.

I truly hope the FFA make comment on this article.
It is damaging the brand & our game!

Its the damage these pricks have on society.

Doubt it, it's doing the FFA's work for them.

Everyone has a rant at the media.

but End-of-day,

- Dickheads more aware that they may be banned
- Sponsors see their investment as less risky
- 'Families' see that something's being done about safety worries

Yep. I betcha of these "ultraz" and football KULCHA blokes will think twice now.

Was all fun and games until your mug lands on the front page of a tabloid rag.

You realise it could quite easily be your mug shot dug up from a crappy facebook pic because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time?
You could be banned because you walked out the front of your house in your wanderers jersey on a tuesday whilst kids were playing with fireworks in the street.

Being completely ignorant makes you no better then the Rebecca Wilsons of the world.

Excluding those falsely named and banned, those banned for entry onto the field of play and underage persons I find it rather ironic that blokes are actually whinging about this (and people of the forum are defending them.)

For years the FFA and the police have been giving warnings about flares and grubby behaviour and what do the vast majority of forumites say here about it?

Mostly next to fuck all. The majority are blathering on week after week about how flares should be allowed, how blokes fighting in the street have nothing to do with football, how breaking chairs an vandalizing stadiums is nothing to worry about and it's worse in other codes or some other bullshit.

Well guess what? Turns out if you act like a fuckwit and break the law your name and picture can be plastered on the front page of the paper.

The chickens have well and truly come home to roost.

The blokes banned and named for taking flares get the least amount of sympathy from me because they were warned repeatedly not to do it and what did they do? Took them anyway, like it was a giant game to give the coppers the big middle finger.

Well who's laughing now.

Flame away flare chuckers, vandals and grubby brawlers.
