Silent Alarm i am not having a dig in no way shape or form.
I would love your opinion on this video.


3mins 47 seconds is the important bit.

Do you feel this is wrong?
Remember when that happened and the media said he burned the Australian flag lol. From what I can see its the Union flag of Great Britain.

Yes.



Doesn't matter what flag it is it is still illegal and highly offensive, I'm sure if someone did something the same to the Aboriginal flag, then there would be calls to have the person arrested and sent to gaol.
I'd say it's ok for them (aborigines) to burn the flag of the people who invaded, murdered and ethnicly cleansed their people.

At the end of the day the invaders committed an evil act.

The funny this about racism... Everyone feels ohh thats racist. Speaking on somones behalf feeling they know what people feel will offend them.

Racism is all about perception. What you feel(the person who has no involement in the incident & is not of the same religion/race) is offensive may not even affect the indivudal or wider community that it represents. Who dictates whats racist? Does a indivudal tell us? Do the media shovel feed us tighy touchwood incidents that they FEEL MAY offend.?

If your proud of your roots why would you care? Mabye this is why the media feel ohh that or this is racist they can not say that. Lets kick up a big shit storm from nothing. We also demand a public apoligy (we are not asian but we DEMAND a apoligy)

Did anyone hear or watch on the news or radio of any asian people offended by that comment?

When they interview anyone about "how would you feel" its always is a person unrelated or affected of the issue.


When we start being so uptight about a issue of race then
& i say then as it will only get worse over time will the population of australia segregate in there own races/nationalitys/religions for fear of offending the opposite time with different customs/beliefs.



Its totally different to single out a indivudal for a deficiency they may have which you may be far superior at.

I played Ammos in the 80s
They were the Adelaide company that made most of the lace-up jumpers.
That is either one of the best replicas ever made, or legit.
Though I'd have to have a look at the wear on the Tetley logo and the Vic Hill logo to verify that.

As far as what it goes for, not really my area.
But from what I can tell, it looks game worn.
You'd want some sort of provenance, like a photo of a player handing it over, or a back story how they came to get it.
Tetley were only sponsors in 1980 & 1981, and the lace-ups were banned in the late 80s.
There's a chance it's a 1980 premiership jumper.
That would have to increase the value.


Edited:

Whatever jumper Roach was wearing, he swapped it with his Collingwood opponent.
If you could find who he swapped with, and whether he was wearing a lace-up in the GF it would be interesting.
