Rumour Ben Roberts-Smith big role on Anzac Day game broadcast

[matthew_s]

fu** I’d forgotten about that!

Never ever forget the great one's floggish behaviour during the drug scandal.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

I'm outraged!

 

[Toump Ass]

As an aside i couldnt believe they wouldn’t serve me beer during the national anthem at the anzac eve game in 2019

Total bullshit.

If Stokes loves the military so much why did he never serve? He would have been old enough to go to Vietnam. He can buy as many medals as he wants, but he never earnt them. Typical backslapper.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

That’s right. He hasn’t been found guilty of anything and it seems channel 9 are the main instigators of any question suggesting otherwise.
You would need to ask yourself why such a successful and smart man such as Kerry Stokes backs him in so much. He clearly thinks he needs support rather than the other way around.

Oh jeez

 

[The Warlord]

I would be astounded is this is true (the ANZAC rumour). If you have been following the case you would have heard that the AFP are investigating allegations he buried a USB stick with classified information in his backyard, amongst other things.

Yes, all allegations. But surely the AFL wouldn't allow this. If he is innocent of everything he can do a future ANZAC game.

Maye the AFL allow a convicted drug cheat to be a commentator.

 

[Toump Ass]

Stop likening the ANZACS to bogans and people on trial for war crimes, it's just plain disrespectful.

So you agree having Ben Roberts Smith on the ANZAC day broadcast is disrespectful?

Classic chickenhawk.

I'm sure military types have a word for linament sniffers.

He's never pretended to have served so can't use stolen valour.

He was a fortunate son

Good thing Saad left the bombers last year or he'd be in mortal danger

If you cause the thread to devolve into a shitfight with rubbish comments about ANZAC Day, the ADF or any other trolling, you will lose your access for a while. Discuss the issue at hand. If you want to talk political and society in relation to ANZAC Day (as opposed to the football), there's a forum for that.

Would have thought this is the relevant place to discuss it?

Anyway, I assume Duck will be on hand and he's a human toilet so what's the difference?

BRS' suitability to be on the coverage is fine to discuss - but as soon as it goes beyond that, it turns into fertiliser. That's what the SRP is for.

Ok. Well I think it's a ******* shocking look tbh.

100% agree

 

[Redline]

Anything is possible but I can't believe they would do this. I can't comment on the accuracy of the allegations but the optics of it would be awful. I know Stokes has a big pull but I don't think Gill would allow it.

 

[BF Tiger]

Has this actually been reported anywhere?

 

[Multicoloured Hippo]

It would be on par with the twerking Navy ship opening saga. You would hope they wouldn't go there.

 

[Obeanie1]

Yeah, Channel 9...and the AFP.....and the investigators looking into the allegations and the other soldiers who have come out and said he did it

Did what allegedly?

 

[frggr]

Did what allegedly?

Committed war crimes (murder of unarmed civilians, desecration of the dead, among others), and hid evidence from investigators

 

[the PILL]

I haven't been able to find anything about it and it's approaching fast.

Might be one of those informed by ones Twitter source of a source things.

I think it's one of those wait and see. I doubt there is any truth to it.

Agree with this, but at the same time it's so plausible in this day and age. If it's a deliberate fake, it's a good one

Is it even a fake? Have not heard this anywhere apart from the the OP. If there was anything to it you'd think "those nasty leftie media types" would be all over it.
