Mariners stars blitzkrieged over Mad Monday gag

[uncleyellow]

well maybe Gumps outfit is a statement on how the FFA is run

LOL, Yeah it could be... But which way... The Nazi Party... or Dad's freaking army im not sure??

 

[fedelta]

Those pictures are hilarious
leave them alone FFA you wankers

 

[Teddy Bear]

Glad no one dressed as a pirate or a cowboy. All those people that were made to walk the plank years ago and all those indians that were shot by cowboys would have been extremely disrespectful and out of place.

Remember Mel Brooks satirising Hitler with Too Be or Not to Be was an absolute disgrace. Oh no hang on that actually was extremely funny and Mel is jewish.

Hutch dressing up in Celtic gear is an absolute disgrace!!!!

Dressing as Adolf Hitler is definitely a very sensitive issue for the Germans;  it is a criminal offence in Germany to display any Nazi symbols in public.  Andre knows this.  But is that what he has done?  It was clearly intended to resemble Hitler - thankfully there were no swastikas present or that would have compounded his 'offence' - but was also very obviously a parody of Hitler.  It has been done many times by many people: Charlie Chaplin, Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill, John Cleese and not forgetting the bloke who did Blazing Saddles...  There is absolutely no attempt to glorify Nazism or belittle the suffering of its many victims.

Jewish groups would not even have heard of this incident if they hadn't been approached for comment by the despicable media, angling for a story!

So Andre, your self-deprecating humour is fine by me - if you had dressed as a camp survivor with striped uniform and tattoo...now that would have been insulting..

sydney fc = hakoah

[fedelta]

Do SFC have ties with Hakoah??

Wait til Fergie sees him next.  .........but Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum took the prize I reckon. I didn't think Wilko had that much comedy in him, always thought he was a bit of a dry character.

Lowy Family Trust.

ie. Frank Lowy was a past President of the Hakoah club, now his family trust has an investment in Sydney FC.

Hakoah played in sky blue, the same colour as Sydney FC.

Lowy is a prominent and well respected member of the Jewish community, and Hakoah was set up by the Jewish community in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

 

[loyalist]

sydney fc are just a rejuvanated modern version of sydney hakoah

 

[Wheresdadspants?]

Haha Gumps and Viddy look great, So do the rest of the boys! Can't believe people lose their sense of humour as soon as there is a high horse to be ridden. You can draw your own conclusions as what gumps is dressed as but why is it so bad, Boys will be boys and if the Tele didn't take the photos nothing would have been said. Another storm in a teacup blown way out of proportion by the FFA. For christs (viddy) sake leave our club alone we have done so much off the field for the game and this is how we get repayed. Oh how I hate the game right now.(will love it later once this has blown over.

[serious14]

So where's the outrage over Grego's costume??  Sensitivities towards anything and anyone Arab these days are through the roof, so where's the story about that??

F*cking biased bullshit if you ask me.......

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

"Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Lowy?" 

 

[skilbeck]

Well my theory is that Gumps was making a statement about the FFA and the refs, and nothing wouldve been more apt description of them than inferring that they are nazis because thats what they are IMO
