Deans Jambo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I did wonder what the over the top police presence was up town. Never seen any demos just loads of police vans.SDL rally I believe nowt to do with the trouble before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Kilmarnock fans in desperate attempt attempt to be relevant again? "No one likes us, we don't care" aye? Actually no, sorry guys, that should be: "No one cares about us, we don't like it" What is it with this club recently? Are they trying to develop some sort of rivalry with Hearts? I don't know anyone who really gives a flying chuff about Killie either way. exactly this. An irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo1975 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Er, no they're not. And haven't been for a couple of years. At a public event with over 16000 people there will be a police presance. Certainly outside the ground. Numbers inside would depend on the home to away fan ratio and potential for trouble I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fermi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I arrived late for the game, at about 15:05. When I passed the way into the away end the police and stewards had shut the gate and there were a bunch of west coast schemies waving tickets and demanding to be let in. After the game, there were a lot more police around than usual going towards Russell Road, and a lot around the prison officers club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Hearts way Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't think there is police at many games anymore, only cat A games I think. I see cops all the time in the streets before games and after games. Clubs are only responsible for and pay for cops inside the ground. Those outside the ground are obligated to be there.

the Hearts way Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It?s probably a stretch to call it a ?mass brawl? by the sounds of it. It apparently lasted 5mins.

Football fans are treated unfairly a lot of the time but plenty of them are also violent, racist, sectarian and homophobic a lot of the time. It's hardly a one off. I've seen it plenty of times.

The point is that random violence is far more likely to happen at a football match than any other public event and football fans are treated accordingly.

Rick Grimes Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Not sure how random the attacks were on the Hearts fans as I walked straight through the middle of it on my way into the ground. One of the guys I presume was a Killie fan even stopped his charge up the road to let me pass - then continued to leg it up the road and got involved. Also saw an older Hearts fan leaving his greeting laddie to see if he "needed" to be involved. A shower of welts on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary Briss Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If its the fan I saw........think he lost his cool when some runt whacked him when he was walking with his laddie down McLeod Street minding his own business. Make no mistake.........these wee arseholes from Killie caused all that then some Hearts lads saw enough and emptied them, which was just as well as there was no police and these scumbags were hitting innocent fans.

Numbers inside would depend on the home to away fan ratio and potential for trouble I would imagine. There are no police at Hearts games this season. Or last. That means no police either inside or outside the ground. A lot of clubs do this now, saves them money. The only exception are when Celtic or Aberdeen come to Tynie. Or if Hearts got Rangers or Hibs in the cup. The police at Tynie on Saturday would have been cops working local stations (or maybe detailed for the SDL march) who were called because of the fighting. They weren't there for the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
