Radge21 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Last week on the billboards the headlines were. Snatch squads to mingle with Rangers and Celtic fans to weed out the sectarian fans. 1 They should arrest the lot of them then. 2 They will pull out the odd skinny wee plooky gimp who they know wont give them a problem. During a texaco cup match at Airdrie years ago. My eldest brother ended up in a cell. Every hour a police officer walked in. Spat on him, dished out abusive names and kept punching him in the stomach. Then miraculously at 3.00am in the morning told him he was free to go. No charges, but with no way of getting home.

MrBones Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 As much as I hate Celtic and everything they stand for, what's with all this calling smoke bombs, flares? They're two very different things Like the game at Easter Road when the Hearts fans let of a smoke bomb, not a flare. A smoke bomb's hardly going to kill or injure someone. Is it illegal to take a smoke bomb into a stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people need to stop using silly emoticons - who gives a feck! The point of the story is that a section of Celtic fans stopped the Police doing their job, I think that many people would be concerned about the Police being prevented from arresting criminals.

hawaii Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Maybe the Green Brigade members who left were caught on CCTV and in doing so will help Celtic identify them so that they can ban them from Parkhead for the poppy banner? Still find it amazing that Celtic don't know who is in the Green Brigade when their database will clearly show which fans were moved out of that area and who was moved in....aye right.

Such criminal behaviour is to the detriment of society, never mind the game of football and the sooner these menaces are driven out of the stadiums the better.

I'm sure there was a case at the Millenium Stadium just a few years ago in which a guy was killed uinstantly after being hit in the chest by a distress flare .

The fact is no one is talking about shooting marine distress flares at games. As for Guildford Jambo, he reminds me of this topical quote.

Sharpie Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just like JKB these things reveal a variety of opinions, I guess the old theory the truth lies in whether you are the passer or receiver. If you throw a flare or agree with it its all fine , if you are the recipient of one that has been badly thrown then you are totally against it. As far as the police are concerned they are the enforcers not the originators of the law, they are required to take action and are obligated to do so. As usual the JKP principle of contradiction of alliance comes into play. The much condemned Green Brigade now are OK with some if they obstruct the police in their effort in terminating an action that by legislators is deemed as potentially dangerous. I wonder are the police so bad that any of you would rather have the Green Brigade decide what is correct as far as football support behaviour is concerned. I feel bound also to state that in 35 years of policing I have never witnessed a police officer spit on a prisoner in cells. This despite the many occasions where the incarcerated were the dregs of human society. Quite frankly I personally if he bothered me that much wouldn't have wasted good spit but given him a healthy kick in the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julienbrellier Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i'm sorry but this is utterly ridiculous. i can't stand the green brigade their poppy protest was absolutely disgraceful and a lot of the views held by these idiots are amongst the worst in scotland. but the police, SFA or whoever need to seriously take a look at what they are clamping down on here. Flares and smoke bombs are part of the game over in Europe and rightly so. they improve the atmosphere and harm nobody and in my opinion the atmospheres at grounds in the UK are potentially the worst in the world. the whole all-seated mentality is also part of the problem. I think it is genuinely depressing watching games of football in Italy and eastern Europe as the atmosphere at games is immense and the fans actually sing for 90 minutes, as do the moronic green brigade to be fair. the only times i can honestly say the atmosphere is satisfactory at hearts games is either in Europe at Tyne or against Hibs. in my opinion carrying out actions due to supposed "health and safety" has gone far too far and is ruining football here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to gauge how powerful it was , it was fired from the other side of the stadium and still had enough force to kill him. Yeah, I remember that too. Wales were playing Albania* (I think), or possibly Macedonia. A pair of complete ersehole nut-jobs Welsh "fans" decided it'd be a great laugh to fire-off the distress flare they'd sumggled into the ground with them and did so, aiming it across the pitch at the stand on the other side. This then hit a Welsh guy in the opposite stand who did, indeed, die as a result. this happened at the end of the match, as far as I recall. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/appeal-court-to-review-rocket-death-sentences-1449897.html (*It was against Romania, November 1993, Cardiff Arms Park - see article.)

Surprising and depressing how often such stories appear here. Anyway, why would any team "lie down" in a cup semi-final? Aberdeen are just rubbish this season, as we saw for ourselves in December.
