What FIFA red card rules are you referring too?  Genuine question.

Incitement of violence by a player is a red card offence. Imagine if keeper at WCUP threw lit flare into crowd - straight red. But backwards Australia they let it slide. Some AL refs wear Fifa badges on thier shirt but don’t enforce Fifa rules 😡

What a lesson for keepers. You can throw a lit flare into crowd at AL game and not get even a yellow card for it. Go nuts then! ☄️☄️☄️☄️

Thanks for answering my question BT.  I am actually after the specific law or laws of the game that might be used to cover this situation and any administrative methods outside the laws that may apply.  I have seen it covered by the English FA in one of their rules that is additional to the laws.  In that case the player was charged for throwing the smokie back into an empty part of the stand after the referee took no action on the pitch.

Muz the referee on forum is your man for specifics

He wasn’t inciting violence. He had lit flares thrown at him all game by the nitwits behind his goal. Good on him for throwing one back.

Glover has a good season and gets a deal overseas, is what probably happens.

Yet violence happened straight afterwards 🤔

Yeh it's all Glover's fault. Poor Victory fans had no choice but to riot and assault players and officials.

I’m not defending the actions of the thugs in crowd! Glover broke the rules which warrants a red card. Clear as day. FA weak as piss again 

It would be a red card in normal times. Unfortunately, the morons in the crowd decided to all but kill our only professional competition in the immediate aftermath, making what Glover did seem benign and irrelevant. Glover threw a flare back where it came from. The imbeciles in the crowd basically killed the A League. They made it impossible to punish Glover as that would imply some sort of equivalence where there is none.

Glover did no ‘throw it back where it came from’ 

he had his back to the crowd. And the flare did not come from that part. So how does he know where it came from? 

Also the fact that the quote from JJ was ‘Glover gets away with it on this occasion’ indicates that the governing body have identified that Glover did in fact commit an offence, but they are choosing not to punish him.

Is it an offence against the LOTG or an FA rule on behaviour?

Could be either. Could be both. That's a question for JJ and the governing body.
JJ wouldn't have said 'he gets away with it', if there was nothing to get away with.
If they identified the Glover did nothing wrong, they would have said something along the lines of 'we've investigated the incident and concluded that there was no wrong-doing by Glover'. Instead JJ said 'Glover gets away with it'.

Flares thrown on the ground near Glover doesn't excuse him throwing a flare into a crowd of people. One group of peoples shit behaviour doesn't excuse his shit behaviour. What he did was dangerous. 

Violent conduct is the offense

It Applies to acts against all other players, officials or spectators.

Law 12

Violent conduct

Thanks.  That would require the referee to decide that excessive force was used which it appears he didn't in his match report.

Thats where old mate VAR comes in.

lol 

how funny would it be if glovers single flare throw puts Melbourne Victory into Administration.

GLOVER :cool:

Melbourne Victory before Glover incident -  whether we love them or hate them - helped draw bigger crowds to AL, both home and away. AL is probably fucked without them tbh

Glover is a dumb arse btw

Surely Glover's new nickname is "buckets"

Yep. No MV = no A-League pretty much.
