ParisInAKilt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Maybe time for professional security, the clubs can afford it rather than paying minimum wage to someone not trained to deal with aggression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I definitely think it's been getting worse. The import of the "Ultras" culture isn't helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bouncers looked out a wee window and let us in. Wee were at Manchester University Union before the game and Irish band were playing all the tunes. I walked up to the bar to get the Glenlivet and the barmaid knew I was a Rangers supporter right away. Obviously I told her to keep it quiet! But a great day though. (which proves I am no bigot guys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitre Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 1984 Old Trafford had terracing at 3 ends I think. Stretford end was all terracing. Alongside the park opposite main stand was the paddock below and seats above, same as the away end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were sitting up high and beside the Stratford end. IIRC there was a Republican band on before the game and bottles were chucked towards the end... I think one smashed off the crossbar at the Stratford End. Celtic fans overturned a burger van before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen any trouble though. Republican band in University union with all the songs. The Glenlivet was going down that day. But canny mind of any trouble. Apart from a shop getting cordoned off by police as I think there was shoplifting in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys who was with us that night was from Cheadle or something and he knew where to go. It was some night apart from the result. Can mind watching the highlights of the United game in a pub after as well. Good times 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee-toon-red Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47646210 Only three of Scotland's professional clubs back strict liability. Aberdeen and Hibs didn't want to comment, Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Killie, amongst others, didn't respond to the survey. If the clubs won't accept strict liability then the authorities, whether it's the police or local councils, should refuse to grant safety certificates to the grounds. If I organise an event at my work, which generally requires an alcohol licence, then if there's bother then I won't get a licence the next time. If anyone is serious about cracking down on fan misbehaviour then these are the measures that need to be taken.

If anyone is serious about cracking down on fan misbehaviour then these are the measures that need to be taken. I don't agree with punishment without responsibility though. If a fan comes on the park it's their misdemeanor. How can the club stop that? I think a solid principle is you should be punished for what you can control. Punish the individuals involved. Zero tolerance. It's a shame the ultra culture has ruined it. Most folk will remember when streakers ran on the park, it used to get a bit of a laugh. Those sorts of things, you don't condone but it's harmless. Now these muppets are bringing violence into it. Even the odd crowd invasion was not condoned but harmless. The scenes in Glasgow city centre were throw-back. Incredible to think we've moved on in so many areas but this one. Society seems to have regressed here somehow.
