Evicted A-League fan denies drinking after police say he wanted 'greater variety of beer'

Evicted fan Rory Carroll has denied drinking beer at the A-League semi-final after NSW police accused him of wanting a 'greater variety of beer' prior to his ejection from Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

Sydney FC supporter Carroll released a statement to the media on Monday saying he was only drinking soft drink as he was in charge of three children - after Assistant Commissioner of the NSW police Mark Walton said in a press conference that the ejected fan was trying to get access to full strength beer.

"I reject [the NSW police accusation] out of hand," Carroll's statement said.
