A-League fans out for blood have threatened further violence ahead of the Sydney derby, on the same day Football Federation Australia (FFA) announced changes to banning regulations.

In an exclusive interview on Channel 10, two confessed soccer hooligans, who were supporters of Sydney FC, described the “adrenaline rush” of the post-match violent confrontations.

“Kicking the shit out of someone is fun,” said one of the hooligans, who was wearing a mask.

They named Sydney’s Allianz Stadium as the easiest venue to smuggle flares into. Allianz is the location of Saturday’s derby between Sydney’s bitter rivals.

“It’s bragging rights for Sydney – for who runs Sydney – and they’ll be violent to prove it,” one masked fan said.

The footage was filmed by 18-year-old Julian Cumbo, who was banned for five years after taking part in a planned brawl between Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory fans.

He got out of the scene after police raided his home.

The report followed an announcement from FFA to allow A-League fans accused of bad behaviour to view evidence used against them and appeal to an independent body before they are banned from stadiums, under FFA’s new policy.

Following a promised two-month review of the unpopular previous banning procedure triggered by December’s fan boycotts, the governing body on Monday announced the sweeping reforms it committed to in principle late last year.

As part of the new more transparent policy, fans will be issued with an ‘intention to ban’ notice communicating their alleged offences.

The accused perpetrator will then be allowed to see the evidence against them wherever it is legally possible, and make a written submission to be considered by FFA’s internal security committee.

If the ban is maintained, they will have an opportunity to take their case to the newly created Football Independent Banning Appeal Committee (FIBAC).

FIBAC will be made up of up to 12 prominent barristers and lawyers with no affiliation to any A-League club or player, and is to be chaired by Judge Rauf Soulio of the District Court of South Australia.

This body will have the final say on a person’s case, and can either uphold FFA’s ban, dismiss it, or vary the severity.
