Hmm A-League game behind closed doors?

You can clearly see the guy who threw it in the white. Hopefully he gets dealt with.

Those seats are not cheap seats either.
A season ticket holder or someone who paid decent $$ to watch the game.
Read in the paper today that this fellow is 'wanted', the FFA want to know who he is.
They are struggling with insufficient CCTV and Foxtel footage of the incident to be 100% certain it was this dude who threw things.
Maybe they could check the reserved seating purchases for that Bay and go through them one by one? Hopefully he won't be some walk in who wandered over to the area as everyone else was leaving.

Look at this  The guy in the white coat is surely a goner based on this! Also, instead of walking off behind the ref with arms over their own heads, the cops should be standing where that old fart in the grey jacket is, and facing the fans looking for offenders. It all seems so obvious...  |

Brett, the cops should have been over that railing and in that dude's face real quick. Perhaps they were dreaming about their paypacket this week getting all this overtime to do nothing but watch the football...Oh, what was that, oh sh*t..

No mate, they were thinking "Gosford on Sunday, more overtime leaning on the railings watching under age kids drinking and causing trouble. Easy money"

Why is it that at times when they're not really needed, police/stadium security comes down in FORCE, yet in times like this - when you EXPECT there will be a problem - cops and stadium security are nowhere to be found, or being useless?
Police and security should be manning not just the seats around the tunnel, but the tier above it. Prevent the situation, and react quickly and forcefully should anybody still insist on being a wanker. It'd be more effective then a couple of grainy, inconclusive stills and hoping a mate dobs him in.
There just seemed to be a general theme of security = ineffective last weekend.
Maybe there was something in the alignment of the planets that only affected police and security guards?
I hope the FFA catch him, but I think Sydney FC needs to cop a fine too. One of the most potent management tools is self policing of the supporters, by the supporters. Fine the club, give them a reason to self police.
