It will all be 'straight bat' from the police and stewards, plus if for example a steward asks you to sit down, you don't and give him cheek back, that is enough to have you ejected and Foukles/McLetchie can say diddly squat. Under cover in the Celtic end would be more useful to compare and contrast the way each set of fans are dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think its a good idea, certainly should work as a 1 off. Don't think it'll make a jot of a difference long term though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Evans Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Surely they'd have been better keeping this quiet? I would have thought so. Its a bit like Speed Cameras on the roads. Never understood why the signs advertise the fact they are coming up,so you slow down for a few yards then speedup again. Catch the manks erm,red handed,i say!!

phoenix Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Surely they'd have been better keeping this quiet? See what you mean, but at least it means fans shouldn't get any hassle on this occasion anyway. So both MSPs should both make sure they or someone representing them goes along to Parkhead EVERY time Hearts play there. Same goes for every team whose fans get hassle in Glasgow. Get yer own MP/MSP or local cooncillor in the crowd and report any instances of bad stewarding. Come to that, why don't represntatives of the visiting CLUBS sit in and see what goes on? It's not rocket science... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab Mugabe Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Under cover in the Celtic end would be more useful to compare and contrast the way each set of fans are dealt with. The last time I was through there we were treated nothing short of disgracefully. I would have advocated someone in plain clothes going in with a concealed camera and mic to catch what the ****bags really do on film. They must have crowd management lessons that would make the LAPD look like a diplomatic force. From what I hear it's not just us either, it seems almost every support get treated like sh*te when they go through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen folks launched for just generally cheering the team on. Last time was particularly bad. It got to the stage they ejected so many people it actually got funny, all the empty seats. I love going there though. Seeing "the greatest fans in the Wurrald" close up in their natural habitat is hilarious. It's like a trip to the zoo.

Adi Dassler Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 As others have said, is this not all a bit pointless after they have announced it to the press? I appreciate what they are doing, it has got so bad through there i won't even go now, but i can't help but thinking tipping the nod to Celtic will do nothing but ensure the police and their s**m stewards are on their best behaviour. That said, at least it's in the public domain that it's so bad something is being done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but if that's the case then it at least means the fans who are making the effort to go can enjoy the match instead of spending the day in arguments with stewards. I'll never go back there though. Disgrace the way our fans are treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamTarts1874 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I actually hate the Weegie gestapo, total **** in a uniform. Completely abuse their power, they're just bitter at people like us, their more educated and civilised compatriots from the East. You have to feel sorry for them, I mean would you not feel quite bitter about having to police Rangers and Celtic games? I mean imagine the gruesome sights they must witness!!

jambopompey Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 i can remember going through the early 90's might be 89 where after getting of a bus we where welcomed to the slums by a hail of stone, when we decided to walk towards our attackers we where confronted by the weegies finest on horse back, where we where told any reaction will mean our being lifted, nothing new, fecj them the shlum they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 What a complete waste of ****ing time. Outcome of this will be 1) Police treating it like a Royal visit with absolutely no mistreatment whatsoever 2) Some of our own fans will actually show us up with their poor behaviour Would have been far better keeping this quiet and cutting out all the 'official' ****. Doug, you said these guys have got brains - actually IMO they do but it's **** they have for brains! Up and down the country places get notification of Head Office visits etc. and we all know what happens in the days leading up to them and during them. Complete waste of ****ing time. This will end with a wishy washy statement from both parties saying they found it very constructive, helped both sides to understand the issues better and will help foster stronger relations with HMFC visiting fans - in other words pish! George and David you should have a severe word with yourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any smart person would have kept this quiet, not them. They give plod the chance to get their house in order and make it look to us as if they've done something brilliant to address the issue. Conmen the lot of them, politicians. Makes you think eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john brownlee Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 you better watch out maclechie I'll soon be putting you on the same level as sir george (and I'm almost a lifelong Conservative) what a bunch of publicity seeking knobends as so many posters have suggested the best and sensible thing to do was go incognito.
