FFA won't punish Western Sydney Wanderers but fans may face bans after clash

[post_hoc]

You said more by football than others, so far you have only posted football. So where are the articles about broken by other crowds

[Xman]

The behaviour of soccer fans has been an issue just about everywhere it's played. Maybe the game is so boring that crowd misbehaviour is the major interest for fans

as opposed to similar rates as AFL, NRL and Cricket

errrrr no. I cannot remember any incidents for their RL or AFL where police have had to 'pacify' and angry mob. Both code's fans are a reflection of Australian culture. We love sport and would prefer to watch it than damage each other or property on mass

So either you have a short memory or conveniently forget when the facts don't suit

[post_hoc]

little know fact, more AFL Players have been charged with various assaults than all A League fans for the entire history of the A-League, so who has the real issue?

You picked one AFL game where 3 people were arrested. You really want to compare that to Soccer? Seriously? In Melbourne alone the behaviour has been abhorrent, let alone the behaviour overseas.

Give up mate, you'll never end up ahead. Ever

A 38-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with failing to leave while a 33-year-old man from Adelaide was charged for disorderly behaviour. A third person was arrested for public intoxication.

This is pretty funny. You're comparing soccer thugs to 3 Collingwood fans where one was arrested for refusing to leave the stadium, and another for being pissed. Seriously, give up.

Jesus porky, even pissweak Xman is giving you a floggin. Well a kickin in the nuts after aflcrap floored you. Are you able to get up? Is there anything I can do to help out?

This paints a far more serious issue than 3 Collingwood fans who were pissed and refused to leave the ground. Soccer fan antics are out of control and have been for decades

And 1 person from the Wanderers game was escorted from the game I presumed he will be charged. No other fans have been charged LOL

KE rolls in here with his tool belt affixed and makes a dick of himself as usual.

1 charged versus 3 and KE things it shows I am being beaten LOL

I thought we were talking about the A League, now you want to bring in Overseas? Is that because clearly you have been shown up to not actually know anything? After all you claimed not knowing any incidence and I gave you 3.

You claim Melbourne is worse for A League, care to provide evidence of that? Besides the Herald Sun LOL

[King-Eliagh]

Stuff it. Kick him in the nuts again Xman, his disillusioned back chat is getting annoying.

Rioters can be seen pelting each other with rocks and other debris as fights break out in the city street.

Some even try to hit each other with metal bars as the clash turns into an all-out brawl.

Other fans threw chairs and set off flares outside a CBD pub ahead of Saturday night's A-League clash between Melbourne Victory and Western Sydney Wanderers.

Dozens of Western Sydney fans were drinking at Bourke St's Royal Melbourne Hotel before they clashed with a group of Melbourne Victory supporters about 3.30pm.

The riot moved on to the street, where flares were set off, chairs from outside the pub were thrown and glasses were smashed.

Police intervened in the brawl, which saw four people treated for minor injuries, including a man who was taken to hospital.

At least 200 Western Sydney fans marched along the Yarra and Swan St to AAMI Park with a heavy police escort.

They chanted "F--- the Victory" and gave the finger to any Melbourne fans they saw on the way to the stadium.

Wanderers fans set off five flares during the match against Victory.

Orange smoke blanketed the field with about 15 minutes left in the match.

Security surrounded the fans as one of the flares landed close to the field of play.

Several Western Sydney supporters were ejected from their seats by police and security guards as Melbourne fans chanted "Go home" and "F--- off Sydney".

Another flare was set off after the match as Victory fans celebrated a late equaliser which sealed a 1-1 result.

They chanted in the concourse behind the grandstands as police formed a line to separate and then push them away from where Western Sydney fans were exiting the stadium.

A worker at the Royal Melbourne Hotel said she saw the crowd "rioting down the street" when she arrived at work on Saturday afternoon and said it was "enormous".

Ive never ever seen either AFL or NRL fans behave in this way. Disgraceful
