The police were called to eject the man with hair in the White T-Shirt, and the man in a black and white striped shirt at the bottom left of the picture. I think the striped-shirt guy had made an offensive comment to a female friend of the bald guy in the white shirt and the guy in the green T-shirt.

When the policeman arrived, he mistakenly attacked the bald guy first, before the security guard told him who actually had to be kicked out.

As the guy in the striped T-shirt was leaving, he couldn't help himself - he made an arrogant comment to the guy in the green T-shirt, who took a swing. The security guard to the left of the picture just kept escorting him out of there.

The man in blue in the far left of the picture is a fan who ran onto the field. He is being chased by a man in a bright yellow top at the far right of the picture.

The fan made it to about the 10-metre line at the other end of the stadium and got over the fence safely. I'm not sure if he made a clean getaway or if he got caught.

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!
