As far as I can tell, tensions were high amongst the fans with the decision by the APL to sell the A-League Grand Final rights to Sydney for the next three years. Fans of both Victory and City planned a walk-out on the 20-minute mark but the protest escalated after flares were thrown on to the pitch by Victory fans. City goalie Tom Glover threw a flare back into the crowd then all hell broke loose. Fans ran on the pitch, assaulted Glover and the referee, tried to break the crossbar.

I'm guessing Glover gets a year ban, and Melbourne Victory get a slap on the wrist by having to play a couple of games behind closed doors. The fan protests about the A-League final being switched will be ignored.

Glover will get a couple of games, Victory should be playing behind closed doors for 5 games minimum, fans banned.

There's a way to protest like the Jets did, not be campaigners like Victory fans.

there won't be any slaps on the wrist from this. as bad as it gets
 
Can't imagine Glover will get punished too harshly, he could argue the league hasn't provided him with a safe workplace.

Maybe a match, for me that's a bit harsh given what happened.

Any longer than that I'm sure the lawyers will get involved.

Reckon he should realise chucking flares into crowded areas is a dangerous action. Hope he's arrested and charged appropriately.
