THE Football Association of Singapore will be reviewing its security during major football matches - in light of the violence which broke out after Sunday's Singapore-Vietnam AFF Suzuki Cup match at the National Stadium.
Several skirmishes broke out between rival fans in and around the stadium after the Lions' 0-1 semi-final second-leg loss.
According to eye-witnesses, the clashes resulted in injuries for the often-outnumbered Vietnamese fans, some of whom were allegedly left with bloodied faces after being assaulted.
'There will be a post-mortem security review to see if any area of match security needs to worked on,' said FAS spokesman Eric Ong.
'We also urge the authorities to take action against the fans who took part in the violence. They've given a bad name, not just to Singapore football, but to the country as a whole.'
=> Why only take action against Sporns?
A police spokesperson yesterday said officers responded to calls of fights breaking out near the stadium's East Entrance and at the People's Association carpark at about 10.20pm on Sunday.
'But upon arrival, they observed that there was no commotion at both locations,' he added.
=> Nice...
It is understood that no arrests were made, nor were any police reports lodged.
But some of the violent scenes were captured on video and posted on YouTube by fans.
One clip clearly showed a Singapore fan lunging in to kick a group of Vietnamese supporters at the turnstiles, while another showed security personnel breaking up a fight at the stadium's foyer.
Said administrative assistant Nguyen Ngo Hoa, 26: 'The Singapore fans threw bottles at us after the game and shouted vulgar words.
=> Tell this Viet whore to fxxx back to Vietnam!
'I'm very disappointed and disgusted. I never expected such unsporting behaviour from Singaporeans.'
Hoa also claimed that some of his friends were chased by teenagers armed with sticks, and that a Vietnamese flag was set on fire outside the stadium.
Engineering student Nguyen Vu Trung Ha, 23, who was with his girlfriend, said he feared for their safety, after witnessing an attack at the bus stop outside the West Entrance.
=> On free scholarship?
'I saw a few people punching a Vietnamese guy on the head. His nose was bloody. I quickly grabbed my girlfriend and moved away,' he recounted.
=> Well done!
The actions of the fans involved drew widespread condemnation from other Lions' supporters. But some noted that the Vietnamese had repeatedly provoked the home fans as they left the stadium.
Said engineer S. Ravindran, 30: 'They were chanting, singing and celebrating right in front of the Singaporeans. One of them even flashed obscene gestures.'
=> Good that the Malay bros decided that enuff is enuff!
Over 48,000 spectators attended Sunday's match - about 3,000 of them were Vietnamese supporters who were seated in a demarcated area between the stadium's North and East Entrances.
As part of its security review, the FAS will look into getting rival fans to leave the stadium at different times, said Ong.
He also noted that security had actually been beefed up before the game.
About 200 uniformed police officers, auxiliary police, private security guards, as well as FAS and Singapore Sports Council marshals, were present.This is about a third more than the usual number, he said.
But polytechnic student Willson Chan, who witnessed one of the clashes, said the security presence was still insufficient for such a big game. 'By the time the authorities arrived, the fight was over,' said the 20-year-old. 'If there were more security guards around, maybe those fans wouldn't have been so daring.'
