A Brisbane Roar fan could be heard shouting “I can’t breathe” at this weekend’s game.

“We have heard your concerns and frustrations loud and clear, and I want to assure you that we are taking decisive action in response,” Patafta said in a statement Monday night.

‘Brisbane Roar Football Club unwaveringly supports our fans.

‘You are the heart and soul of our club, and your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities.

“We are committed to upholding the rights and safety of our fans, and any form of misconduct, whether by individuals or authorities, will be dealt with with the utmost seriousness.

‘As we move forward, your support, understanding and cooperation are invaluable.

‘Together, we will ensure Brisbane Roar Football Club remains a symbol of unity, respect and passion in a safe environment.

‘Thank you for joining us as we navigate this issue. “Together, we roar louder and stand stronger against any form of misconduct by individuals or authorities.”

It was one of several sticking points between fans and security officials at games over the weekend.

Western Sydney Wanderers’ active supporters group, the RBB (Red and Black Block), went on strike during Saturday’s 4-1 derby loss to Sydney FC, where 14 arrests were made.

Fans staged a strike amid problems between fans and police before kick-off.

Supporters posted videos of them being surrounded by NSW Police after leaving CommBank Stadium.

A Wanderers fan uploaded images of cuts to his face, which he claimed were the result of police activity.

Sources say RBB were returning a club-sanctioned banner that had been displayed before the match and attempting to return to their assigned seats when a large group was told they could not return.

Macarthur fans also clashed with security guards, who forced them to remove a banner during Friday’s 2-0 home win over Melbourne City.

APL Commissioner Nick Garcia was not available for comment.

The league body issued a two-paragraph response confirming they were investigating the incidents.

“Creating a safe and enjoyable environment both inside and outside our facilities for all fans, stakeholders and staff is our number one priority,” the APL said in an unnamed statement.

“We are aware of incidents that have occurred at CommBank and Suncorp stadiums, and we are investigating these incidents as part of a full review with clubs, venues and police, along with feedback from fans.”
