BIG BAD (AND NOW BANNED) T SHIRT

I'll take back my snide pun then. My apologies. As you were.

I think the reason that the Obama picture was allowed to be used was because it was in fact a drawing...

So lets get some one to draw a picture of Rory and then we can use it.

Contact Murray Webb to do a caricature

Moss was a far better keeper

This

The verboom guy seems to have stopped selling his 'big bad' shirts ... does anyone know why?

Hmmm, sounds like you're trying to have a bob each way there.

Anyway, all I ask is that none of us forget the the big picture. The rest is just details.

Rory Fallon is a legend and can do whatever the f**k he likes as far as I'm concerned.

But I'm the only person who ever posts in that thread! This is much more exciting.

That's pretty average and hypocritical if Rory has anything to do with limiting sales of these after his 'White is the new black' call. I'm sure we'd all appreciate a few extra coins but I thought he'd want to do it for the game in NZ...

Oh wait. Money talks. F the agent

SIDE NOTE: Art work was done by Sheppard Fairey (of Obey Giant fame), as part of 'Artists for Obama' campaign run through Obama's site. Shepard or someone from the Obama Presidential campaign could sue over copyright of artwork.

Anyway, I'm just glad I got a Rory Fallon tee.

Also, How come no-one thought: He's tall, he's slick, we give his dad stick.... was a a good chant.

Hes big, hes bad and his manager's a fagg.

Now that on a banner at the next match would make the point.

...although I think it's generally accepted that 'fag' only has one 'g' in it.

Mods, can we delete homophobic abuse of Rory's agent in this thread? It's that sort of crap that gives football fandom a bad name.

^^^ Lighten up 

Nah sort of agree.

agree - for me homophobia = racism

...somebody mentioned Jesus earlier. Why don't we throw religious bigotry in there as well. Jag2009-12-18 12:15:53

Aitkenmike .. agree with you.

Yeah okay okay we all agree.

Maybe at the next match, we should all chant "Rory, Rory .. give us a wave..." while all holding up a ten dollar note...

or to add to the big bad chant...

He's big,
he's bad,
his agent's packed a sad
Name Removed.. Name Removed....

Nest home All Whites game seems an awful long way off.

A reference to the Agent drinking dodgy coffee, perhaps?

Jez I'm not that rich.

I was speaking to an IP Lawyer about this issue wih the T-shirt this morning, and she said exactly the same thing. If YF have permission from the person who took the photograph (ie the copyright holder) then YF are entitled to use the image, regardless of what the subject of the image is. Therefore, Rory Fallon's agent has no recourse whatsoever to stop YF using the image, and can at best only request that they don't use it- and only rely on Yf's goodwill to not use it.

The guy that did the Obama poster has been/is in court - AP  took him to court for copyright infringement, as the poster is based directly from an agency picture. See for yourselves

Term X it is you who is taking the holyer than thou stance. It is you who should lightern up and let the people react to someting that should not have happened. It comes from a point of intent. Did YF create the shirt to libel Name Removed or show him in a derogerty way. Ans No way! Are they a profit generating entity breach copyright or commons copyright. Ans NO. Then his grab for money should be un-ashamedly be held up for what it is. Greed.

Name Removed would have had to instruct or make a decision for his agent to make the call for cash. Agents dont really make decisions themselves as it carries too much risk when things go pear shaped. The Name Removed person has family in the country and well, perhaps they are wanting a piece of the action. 

Dead issue now.

Let's move on.
