dundeelad88 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 To be fair sending them the link to the donation made may swing it for the return of the flags. Contacting the media would definatly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You know what they say about changing your toothbrushes after a burglary? I'm sorry this happened, but sounds like you're dealing with vermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 He is saying even if you get them back you'll never know what they did or did not do with them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Something so stupid about targeting a group of people simply because they happen to be the same nationality as your 'enemy'. I can just imagine the insanity getting spouted at their debate later tonight... it is all very sad really, grown men running about with knives stealing flags off tourists for being the wrong nationality.

barnton ta Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Tartan Wayne, This was certainly well planned. they knew exactly what they were doing. On reflection we should have reported to police but we didn't, we just didn't want any trouble as the Ultra's were hanging about and we had kids with us. Any help in getting our flag back would certainly be appreciated. Edited October 16, 2014 by barnton ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVinceSCT Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I don t think they will return it (unfortunatly). But we should do a online website for collecting money. I know you can do it on some platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 if everyone who was at the game were to donate a quid im sure 3500 would cover the loss to replace the flags with the left overs going to tacc, also any other ta members who wish to make a donation would be welcome perhaps a donation page could be set up by tacc hope the sfa don't see this they will probably want to mussel in if they smell profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braveheart1962 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I almost suffered the same fate after the game at the main junction before the bull dog bar. Guy ran past me and ripped my flag off my shoulder where I had it draped. Was lucky that the wee shirt dropped his mobile phone as he ran away, as he turned back to pick up his phone we were able to grab it, a tug of war resulted in us getting it back. A big thanks to the 2 foot soldiers who helped me getting the flag back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
