Deadset though no one gives two shits what you think though.

Do yourself a favour.

It's already gone.

Anyone who supports the media in showing pictures of any fans banned in the past especially in a week where there was no football violence has got to be the biggest dickhead in the world.
I really hope I don't read any comments here by any dickheads saying these fans deserved it whether guilty or not. Never in the past has something like this happened in any other code.
The media and especially 2GB and Daily Telegraph I've hated for over 10 years now because I've learnt to not believe a thing read from these cunts.
What I'm most disgusted in is the fact the Police have helped get these pictures out to the media. Seriously they can go fuck themselves what a disgustingly low act on their behalf.
ACAB can get chanted loud and clear now and I honestly wouldn't have a problem with it in future. Secret sauces aye. We all know which dogs revealed the pictures it's pretty obvious.
This shit should be illegal but the fact they have been banned by the FFA will make it legal by the Daily Telegraph to publish. Many fans have beat their cases in court yet still fans bans from the FFA so the FFA should also be ashamed of themselves for not revoking those bans of people who now have their faces in the paper even though they are innocent in the courts.
FFA really need to come out and slag the fuck out of the Daily Telegraph but it's all our fans that need to wake the fuck up more importantly and ditch this shit paper like I have many years ago.
I'm not even one of the fans with my face in the paper but I can't explain how fucking pissed off and angered I am. This shit should be illegal and a few people should be losing their jobs over this. Total disgrace and if any so called football fan supports this you should be ashamed of yourself because you too are part of the problem.
This isn't something where everyone's opinion should be respected because it's so obvious this is wrong and disgusting.

Article does not say they are convicted. It says they are banned. If the photos are of the actual people who are banned, then that what has been published is substantially true, which provides a defence against any claim of defamation.

Only claim for defamation here would be if it says you are banned but you are not, if the reason why you are banned is not substantially true or if it is a photo of a person who is not actually banned.

The issue of the process and lack of appeal rights related to the bannings is a completely separate issue

Just had a quick browse and it says the reason they are banned. In a lot of these cases, they are never proven. Hence defamation of character.

Fucking insane. Especially for the fans who were banned for smalltime crap like jumping a fence to celebrate a goal.

Still wouldn't be defamation.

The "reason" would be the official FFA line - even if the allegations are false, it is still true to describe it as the reason given for their ban.

You may be right. I'm not too sure on the exact legal definition of the whole thing.

With respect, you don't know what you are talking about.

What has been published is substantially true [it does not have to be fair], therefore a claim of defamation could be easily defended.

You would not find a lawyer in the country who would take this on - not even one who was relying on "the vibe" ...

You're probably right, and that's the scarier bit. Someone can be banned for any alleged crime at the discretion of the FFA. They don't need to prove anything and that 'crime' will be against your name for the rest of your life. Goodbye job and any hope of a fair future. Scary world we live in.

Rebecca Wilson not even surprised :lol:

They should use this for a VCE/HSC English exam language analysis piece, would be the easiest thing to dissect in history

This is why I'm saying the best way to get back is for everyone to simply cancel subscription of the paper, refuse to buy the paper. There are other options out there why spend your money on these cunts.
Every football fan should be making a complaint ( which would mostly go unnoticed by these cunts )and more importantly boycott their paper. If 2GB jump on board to support this idea and talk about football violence on Monday you boycott that station too.

As a Queenslander, who purports quite a positive view of our own police force, let me join the chorus in proclaiming "fuck the (NSW) police." Absolutely nauseating stuff from a pathetic hack of a journalist and a deranged police commissioner with a hard-on for sparking conflict with perceptibly ethnic undertones.

As a side note, I wonder if the one Roar guy is the retard who lit a flare under our tifo last season. Besides a Sydney FC fan letting one off in the away bay that same season (which the media blamed us in the Den for) that was the last flare I'd seen in some time. We turned that absolute knob-end into security pretty quickly, but it still made convincing the powers-that-be to allow us to bring tifos in that much more difficult. If that's him, I've very little sympathy.

She's the biggest slut of all.

with posts like these you really should post more

They expect us to pay to read select articles from their rags? No wonder print media is dying. Couldn't happen to a more deserving media.

On the plus side balaclava merch sales from WSW should go through the roof.

The fact you even clicked it means they've sucked people like you in. gullible

Would kill herself and the world would hold a party.

Feel sorry for the people who have their details published... but maybe this could force the FFA to review their process and act reasonably.

Yeah good luck with that.

True. But you have to hope someone in the FFA realises this is a fucked up situation.

Being evicted is not a criminal record. Its the right of an establishment to refuse entry.

Rebecca Wilson and Dave Gallop are best mates from his NRL days. Her brother Jim is a Wanderers fan. Must of been a day off for Isis day so let's rip in to football fans. Who the fuck would have faith in mainstream media.

wow just when you think they couldn't sink any lower. The innocent blokes in the article will now have there image ruined. Future employment opportunities etc. Rebecca wilson deserves a double foot lunge to the face. Wonder how she would feel if someone brought up her drink driving charge. AFL players linked with drugs, rape, drinking driving etc. WAIT someone got to emotionally invested during the most emotional sport in the world and jumped on the pitch to celebrate in a moment of sheer euphoria?

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY WORSE THAN ISIS.

Seriously living in Melbourne and dealing with the bias here is bad enough but on a national scale this is just sad. I sort of take it as compliment though.
They are scared, we are coming, we will grow bigger and bigger until the day they can no longer ignore us. Essendon can say goodbye to my money. Didn't buy a membership this season and from this day i vow to never buy one again.

Iirc the hun published an list of bikies and they sued because tey lost their jobs.

until they start winning again :)

i had not missed a home game since 2006 up until last year with the whole saga and just the general arrogance of the AFL if they win a flag i still wont go im so done with this crap
