moops Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Maybe being kept out of the national youth side after being a perennial shoe in, has woken him up a bit. Credit where credit is due though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of do, the week before he had that moment when he handled outside the box. He is capable of an extremely poor decision. I honestly think he should receive some sort suspension even if he if genuinely didn't intend to launch it back into the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think not, but my point was that Glover has shown big lapses of judgement so I could see him possibly doing it, but then again na, that would be unimaginable, therefore that makes his actions even more provocative and careless.

He didn't actually need to throw it at all, just place it behind the goal and let trained people do the rest. Or, better, not touch it at all. I would have thought that all players would have a protocol how to deal with these sorts of events. They're not new. I don't resile from the view that nobody, including City, was properly prepared for this match. We just cannot keep passing the buck.

Oh I agree with your point. But you agree then I gather...as dumb and stupid and the moment got to him...he knew roughly how far that flare was going. It may have been a moment of anger. Whatever it was. One flare he carefully threw over the advertisement barrier. The other he's launched 10-15 metres away through the air. Its black and white. And he deserves whatever he gets for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which raises a protocol question - normally only the players and the refs are allowed on the pitch whilst the game is underway. If an injury happens, medical staff are signalled to get in the pitch by the ref. So, if a flare ends up on the pitch does this mean that the ref has to call in a trained grounds staff to get on the pitch top remove the flare? Or is it up to teh players to take the flare to one side? And I certainly agree that no one was prepared other than the hooligans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tbf, he may himself even not know, it may have been totally reactive to the continued shit coming his way. Stupid thing to do and he'll probably get some sort of sanction from it.

Or is it up to teh players to take the flare to one side? And I certainly agree that no one was prepared other than the hooligans. IMO this can be solved easily - and bear in mind that we aim to eliminate flares anyway. Just decide that in the event of any missile being thrown onto the pitch, or anyone or anything entering the field of play, then the match stops at that point. Then security can remove whatever the problem is and the ref. can restart the match. The other thing is that usually missiles or objects are thrown from behind the goal, so erect a secondary net a metre or so behind the goal, extending a couple of metres above it and the width of the penalty area. The view will be impacted to a minor extent, but again, remember that the objective is to prevent it happening in the first place. If you want to keep banging on about it "has no place in our game" then do something about it, because talking and pussyfooting around won't fix it.

But this idea of him deliberately inciting them is total bullshit. I'm not trying to make anyone do anything. Secondly i never said he knew exactly how far he had to throw it. I says he knew roughly how far. Furthermore to that I don't believe he had actual intent to hit anyone with the flare. But IMO he threw it towards them with intent. I've seen the video footage of him looking back at them, picking up the flare and watching where he was throwing it over the goals. He was certainly pissed off because that flare was thrown at him. He saw it sail past his head. Edited December 20, 2022 by n i k o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that he recklessly threw a flare towards spectators. An unnecessary and dangerous thing to do. Therefore a sanction should be imposed.

neio Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I think he will get something, but the league has bigger issues at the moment and I assume Glover can't play next game due to a concussion protocol anyway so they have a little bit of time to work through it. Really disappointing that he will be missing some football though he has been in pretty solid form and I don't trust Matt Sutton to be our number 1 at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I note that FA have just handed down their interim restrictions arising out the derby debarcle. https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/football-news-2022-melbourne-victory-sanctions-for-derby-riot-vs-melbourne-city-no-tickets-allowed-to-be-sold-members-allowed-entry/news-story/6c0e2fe7f41e0f270c2c93d854f9506b One of these is Quote Home and away active bays will be closed and therefore are to be cordoned off and tarps must be applied to at least the first four (4) rows of seating behind the goal line at each end of the Venue;" I applaud FA's effort to try and protect the active supporters however Glover can throw further than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Very much improved this season. At least one incident per game still but they haven’t resulted in goals. I hate when people say, “where are all the haters now” as he was just not very good last season and lost us points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
