(Details/facts seems a bit hazy so Timmy if you are around, please fill us in mate.)
In short, Con seems to have objected to some protests and uttered threats to a group of supporters.
Surely the FFA are going to deal with this f**king clown one day?
A few posts from their site:
Dear fellow jets fans
As a huge jets fan like everyone home game i found my self in the squadren expecting to have a great night cheering for our team but when crap all was being sung and a terribly boring game i knew something was wrong.
When the whole "banners" thing with the security got heated it seemed like something that would "g" us up more and sing even louder yet the idea came about to move away from the squadren in protest, like a loyal jets fan i flowed but for what, for the group of people to sit down in protest, what is this going to acheive, i hate constantine as much as every other jets fan but what was sitting down going to do, a loud chant or large sign would have worked better, instead we were left with a shit atmosphere when we should have been buzzin, we were winnin!!! a very rare site this season.
im not saying what happened today was wrong but i think it killed the game. i fnd my self increadibly confused, do i bother going in the squadren again or is this crap gunna happen again.
i no the whole story behind the protest and it angers me very much but honestly ill say it again, what is moving away and sitting down going to do, the jets wont sack con, he's the only cash the jets have.
so if possible i would love for con and possibly ego to be sacked but dont ruin a game protesting unless its going to acheive something.

And
This might sound a bit harsh, but wake up yourself. We had won 2 home games all year, the club has become the laughing stock of the A-League, we were confirmed last with 2 rounds still to play, this was a complete dead rubber game. You seriously expected that all of the supporters that spend hours upon hours dedicating their time to the support of their team would just sit back and watch us lose in front of a third of the fans that were turning out last year?
I'll be straight out honest and say that tonight was my first time in Bay 2 and yet when timmy et al requested that everyone moved to the terrace I gladly followed and stayed there all game. It wasn't entertaining at all, it wasn't meant to be, it was a protest against the way the club has been ****wits to people that have given their 110% support to the club in their own time for the last few seasons.
It's not alright for people like you and me to sit back and have a dig at the people that have put in countless hours of their own time to make our support one of the best in the league. Take a step back and have a think about it. You're criticising these people that have created your entertainment all season who aren't getting paid to do it. Is it fair that you're having a go at these people? Are they obliged to be there every match just so you can feel good about the atmosphere they are creating?

Might have something to do with the fact that the club was forcibly taking down banners that people had worked on for hours upon hours and spent their own money just to show a bit of support to their team. You have to see what a massive kick in the face it would be to see that happen.

Mission accomplished. And is that not the ultimate 'sing when you're winning' mentality? We should just forget all about the disgraceful season we've had because we happen to be a couple of goals up against the 2nd worst team in the competition...yep, that would be an awesome protest.

hahaha, I think the answer is pretty obvious to that one.
I would simply suggest this to you and everyone like you. If you did not like what happened today then organise your own chants, your own tifo, spend a shit load of your money and free time and create your own atmosphere. Then when the club gives you a kick in the face for being a loyal supporter continue to mindlessly give them 100% of your support for every match of the season.
