OT: Association Football

[the phantom menace]

Actually, instead of a jail anklet, the 150 members of the Victory active crew should be made to wear those, while serving out their sentence or community service order!

Good to see some hard measures... hopefully only the start, or the minimum measures we can expect to continue:

* No Melbourne Victory fans will be able to attend the Boxing Day match against Western United as a result of the restrictions

* All home and away active bays, where fans are encouraged to demonstrate support for their team, will be closed for Melbourne Victory home games played in Victoria.

* Only members and supporters of the opposing team will be allowed to attend away games involving Melbourne Victory while FA finalises penalties against the club.

Melbourne Victory fans barred from Boxing Day match as Football Australia weighs club penalty

Ticket sales to Melbourne Victory matches held in Victoria are frozen, as Football Australia weighs up financial sanctions for the club over last week's violent pitch invasion at AAMI Park.

Also 29 now arrested... but only 36 of 150 identified.

So still a long way to go - not a lot of self-identification from these "active" knuckle draggers.

And nothing mentioned about "holding the keeper accountable" - nor should there be.

Guy should get a f**king medal actually, for blowing this open so the league and police can start to root thug element out of the code, and keep game day attractive (one day) for a potential larger/future audience.

Well the dude did get bashed with a bucket. It wouldn’t really be fair to sanction him for his shit choices at this difficult time.

More A-League "active" arseholes who can't help themselves... If you're going to walk out in protest after 20mins, just walk out - save your flares for cracker night at home.

[Twizzle]

so, to get in all they have to do is wear the opposition's strip and say they support the other team, in away games

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't give them ideas ffs!

 

[the phantom menace]

Why anything short of police charges for the pitch invaders and flare f**kwits won't work...

"Victoria Police have released more images of alleged instigators behind the Melbourne pitch invasion, revealing one was already on a 10-year ban from attending A-League games and has left the country to Europe"

I am an observer of the Premier League without being invested in all the games.

My side Fulham is doing well this year and should actually stay up this time.

But after seeing Brentford knock off Liverpool this morning

It feels like there have been more boil overs by these little clubs over the giants in Liverpool, Man U this year.

My club Newcastle is also doing rather well this season.

Yeah seems good times may be ahead for them with the new owners.

As a Liverpool supporter, I held some concerns going in to this season that it was going to be hard to stay "up" for the whole season after playing so well last campaign and at one stage being in contention for 4 trophies only to ultimately walk away with only the 2 Cup trophies. Being so good all season and missing out on the 2 jewels must have been a big disappointment. This season feels like Houllier-era Liverpool where they're dropping points against bottom 10 teams which is really inexcusable with their roster and budget....

Yeah Liverpool been unlucky during the Klopp era.

1 PL title doesn't seem to do it justice.

2019 & last year you would know more then me but didn't Liverpool lose a combined like 3 or 4 games across those 2 seasons and still finish 2nd both times to City. So basically near perfect and still short.

I do get a chuckle though whenever Liverpool lose out of all my friends the Liverpool ones are the most hard-core. So whenever they get beat or are unlucky the banter lifts up a notch in our group chats.

My mighty Spurs are doing alright!

 

[Eelementary]

Although, I'm more invested in Barcelona, than Tottenham, because I lived in Barcelona.

Four years living in Barcelona, during the Ronaldo, Stoichkov, and Rivaldo years, and I never went to the Camp Nou...damn it.
