Wonder if FA or Apl will decide wire mesh/netting will have to be put up to separate crowds from pitch?!  😢

Can never imagine a football journalist tweeting or writing about another sport's troubles.

Having said that there is definitely an element of fuckheadedness amongst supporters of certain clubs. If you're bringing a balaclava to a game you're probably not the type of person we want at the matches.

A mate told me he read on facebook that one of the scum was wearing soccer boots?!?!?!?!? hahahahahah I guess he thought he may get a game depending on his performance? hahahahah

Flat out embarrassing

Exactly right. How can you tell what ethnicity someone is if they are wearing a balaclava? :P

2 perpetrators turned themselves into the police

have to say i didnt expect this

shows remorse at least.

and if they are capable of remorse they are capable of not doing it in the first place if the osm policed their own culture better

now the apl will be taking toy drums from kids for the forseeable future

Is it really remorse when their photos are all over every media. They don't really have a choice when everyone knows who they are. 

Is 'muzza' an ethnicity? 🤔

Bucket boy turned himself in. I expect the magistrate to offer up, 'it was his upbringing which should come into question. He is a deeply misunderstood young man, a member of our society that must be mentored and given a stern warning.' He will be active at a Victory match within a month.

You need to get the terminology right BT.  Rugby is short for Rugby Union.  League is short for Rugby League.  Gould is a League man.  ;)

Pro Eggball would’ve covered it 😉

The more I think about this, the more I think Glover is in big trouble. Throwing a lighted flare into a crowd that includes kids is far worse than hitting someone with a bin.
If any fan faces criminal charges, Glover’s action will be raised as extreme provocation. 

Yep. My mrs saw footage and doesn’t want me taking our 7 year old daughter to AL games anymore because of flares been thrown etc (not that we ever sit in/near fanatics area behind goals- but still..)

Aha seriously? I can't tell if you're just trying to tell a good story?

More a "state of mind" lol 

OR be coaching women's NPL in Victoria like his mate *cough *cough

I don't blame her Trev.... Why would anyone take their kids to such a violent dangerous place? I think these franchises have alot to answer for bring this game into disrepute....

My mrs born/raised in Norway- she attended pro football games/derbys as a kid with her Dad in Stavanger, Bergen, Oslo - they never witnessed flares and violence shit ever so why should she allow our 7 year old to be exposed to that crap here in Oz?? 

You said it specifically in reference to the danger of being hit with a flare (as opposed to being exposed to witnessing violence).

You also just changed it from any game ever again to just a derby.

I guess I was correct in assuming some hyperbole on your part aha

BT, I get your wife's pov but you know thats pretty OTT, you could suffer accident/injury just walking in the carpark at Westfields (Lowys reach is everywhere lol) or any Mall you frequent with the kids.
As you mentioned you sit away from the active, so have I when my 3 were younger, funny as they get older they want you sit closer as each year pass's by lol, my distance line now is far enough avoiding the beer spray at goal time lol...........
I'm sure you get my drift, live long and prosper my friend with your family.

Yeah I mean I tried my hardest to not say anything because everyone can parent how they choose but the risk of being hit by a flare (especially the sideline stands) is probably way less than the risk of crossing a street or getting in a car.

But anyway if they are scared they are 100% within their rights to stop attending of course. I sincerely mean no disrespect.

This is the second time FA has issued the club with a show cause notice in 2022, after homophobic abuse was directed at Adelaide’s Josh Cavallo at the beginning of the year. In April the club was sanctioned by Football Victoria after violence between its supporters and Springvale White Eagles fans after an NPL game. And in 2021 fans hurled missiles at then-City keeper, Teagan Micah

Yeah i know - She’s like Lagertha mate- unwise to upset a shield maiden 😢😆⚔️

:laugh: true Lagertha is your keeper ! therefore going in crowds no problemo what she worried about :)

I read not long ago, life bans to anything football related incl local football - 19yrs and 23yr old.
Alot more to come they say.

Anyway Nrl is an ant, Football is a giant overall. Who is Bill Gauld and why does he move the Richter scale at all?
In saying that, two undisciplined morons got life bans. Who will ensure they stay out? Staff at the turnstiles are not police, and just put they're hand out to get paid and go home.
Is bucket boy going to do time, who knows?

We can't complain when football fans give them ammunition like this.

yeah let them have their little "ha ha told you so" moment.
This one is clearly a free hit so we just have to cop it

They don't work mate, nobody to police them sadly.

I am hearing that two of the ones involved in this latest shithousery where also involved in the Lakeside incident in 2016 where they were supposedly banned for 5 years.....
