Phil Gould already retweeted the victory arseholes , petrol on the fire f**kwits , petrol on the fire….like keep on pushing the f**king stereotype you morons

Utterly disgusted, yet not surprised. Angry young men, doing angry young men things. Been so much anger and hatred brewing out there. By our usual measures, been pretty foul on here lately too.

Personally, sick and tired of all the bitterness, anger, righteousness and the constant effort to take offence, catastrophise and demonise anything, everything. and everyone. It's a disease that has gripped far too much of our society.

Well the A-league experiment was amazing. Make no mistake the other codes will leverage this to quash us for good now.

 

[BrisRecky]

i still dunno how the f**k you get flares into the ground! ( although a mental picture just appeared)... quasi- useless check point operators , ignoring fans who look vaguely angry i guess

Taped to your inner thigh or down the small of your back - same as grog (so I'm told)

Also, other than the bag searches there is no attempt to do body searches like they do in other countries

I was subjected to a body search a few years ago at Wanderers when walking in. Gibbo was walking in near me and yelled out “let’s rip a flare” to me.

The f**ker.

The comments on that post are a real cesspool. Glover should not have thrown the flare back but you’d think he went up and tried to extinguish it on someone’s forehead the way some fools are carrying on. Real look what you made me do vibes.

The f**ker.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets a free prostate check.

Gee this is a mess, talk of sanctions/ charges against Glover for throwing the flare back at the crowd.

Has anyone seen any comment from the APL yet?

Townsend has to go, he will never be accepted or forgiven by the fans after this debacle.

I think criminal charges are in order for some of those pitch invaders, if you believe the comments on Twitter some already have lifetime bans and managed to get in anyway.

I've had a body search before at AAMI.

Not possible to squash for good. Too much participation and love of the game out there, Fall out for sure, but in the age of the 24 hour news cycle, we’ll barely be speaking about it in a month from now.

Yeah the justification from the pitch invaders is not a great look. He lobbed it it’s not as if he pegged at it someone’s head like the bucket was. Shows the mentality of the people involved and is therefore no surprise it happened. I was at the Railway watching what was a good game and was just dumbfounded when it happened.

To me Victory as a club needs to face significant sanctions. They need to understand that this behaviour will impact their club. I know it’s a minority but a clear message needs to be sent. City as well and yes if Glover cops something I wouldn’t disagree either.

 

[Corsair]

A point Shaun made on the pod really resonated with me and has been on my mind since. The children at that game would not have understood why the fans were behaving as they did and probably would have been frightened. Such a shame.

Definitely do not condone the actions, in fact it's a disgrace to the game, but there have to be consequences for the APL as well. Show Townsend the door.
