Recent Melbourne Victory supporters' protest
Big Story
It's an absurdly hyperbolic headline from the Roar, but their
story of surveillance of fans is a little concerning, especially in the context of the long failure
of the Australian football authorities to understand that heavy-handed restrictions and
knuckle-headed security is not the way to grow the sport in a country with far more established
sporting cultures.
Our old friend has never been averse to a bit of character assassination (all in the name of
raising the standards of Australian football, of course). But this is quite inexcusable, even by
his standards.
Once again: Branko Culina's comments about Vitezslav Lavicka were rude and ill-founded, but at
least he had the grace to subsequently apologise.
