As Australian players at home and abroad lamented the “darkest day for football in Australia”, Victory’s managing director condemned the actions of the fans that stormed the pitch and Football Australia prepared to serve the club with another show-cause notice for fan behaviour.
Melbourne Victory’s managing director Caroline Carnegie says lifetime bans may not be a strong enough punishment for pitch invaders as Football Australia prepares to serve the club a second show-cause notice this year regarding crowd behaviour.
Johnson declined to comment on possible punishments as the result of the abandoned fixture is also still to be decided, with the stripping of competition points and playing games behind closed doors potential options. “It’s very difficult for us to suggest there isn’t a greater risk when you see what happened last night,” she said.“We’ll work with Victoria Police first, there’s obviously a police investigation, then we’ll work with Football Australia in relation to what happens as a result [of that police investigation].”
“There is no possible excuse for players, cameramen, referees coming to work and not being safe. There’s no place at our club. No place in the game, no place in the league for that sort of behaviour.” “Our game is in tatters. An absolute disgrace what happened tonight,” Vukovic tweeted on Saturday night.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and Sports Minister Steve Dimopoulos spoke out against the actions of the pitch invaders.“Victorians are well known for our love of sport – and for enjoying it safely and respectfully. The disgraceful actions by some at last night’s A-League game have no place in our sporting community – and no place in our state,” Andrews tweeted.
