Robroysboy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It was like shooting fish in a barrel, for the undercover cops. Saw loads of on the spot fines being distributed outside the clockwork pub right up to outside the west stand. Moral of the story is finish your drink in the pub .

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Police scotland dont do sensible policing any more and spend more time looking for problems than actually using common sense.I mind being at a rovers v celtic game at celtic park where we had our flag checked going into the stadium the checked agin on the way OUT AFTER THE GAME.,Sensible policing NOT.

At U Peter Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 against the law to drink in the streets yet some are surprised the police take action Don't you think it's a bit ott just so they can hand out fines and perhaps they'd be better using their resources for something more important?

sjc1987 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Noticed few vans up side streets on wed night pulling groups with carryouts. 1st time i noticed surrounding streets having "non event" signs and permits required around the bowling club etc both wed and sunday. Parking attendants out in force with it as well. good money to be made from football fans! Watching football is not a crime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At U Peter Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Do they have undercover officers out trying to catch the munters that attend take that concerts and the likes? I'd imagine they are a bigger problem to the locals than football fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they are a bigger problem to the locals than football fans. could not agree more. Plus how come Met police when they caught me and several others drinking on the streets around wembley didnt hand us out a fine, they told us we cant drink them here but if we went over to the Mcds car park across the road, theres nothing they could do as it was private property. So instead of causing a problem they solved it keeping both parties happy, but no our police would never do that sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahah the police in London sent us to McDonald's aswell #topcops plus they were on a hole a lot more relaxed and instead of standing surrounding us in the square they were talking and getting photos taken .

Fugitive Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 We got stopped on the way to the ROI game at Parkhead - but we just had to hand the drink over, no fines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 My mate got a bag of booze confiscated on the Gallowgate at the Ireland game. He was drinking at the time and was stopped and they took all the booze off him, not just the open can. Me on the other hand was sensible and had cans stuffed in every pocket and marched right through the cordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandydon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Did the Hampden experience and tour recently and the tour guide was saying that a Take That concert full of Middle aged boozed up females was the drunkest crowd he's seen at Hampden.

Never had a problem with them personally, always mindful to be polite whilst in their company as they can can choose to give you a hard time otherwise.

Police Scotland is ran by an incompetent who says one thing to parliament then does another. I don't partake in alcohol, but everytime i see "police scotland" i just think of that muppet in charge. Aye easy to finish drinks in the pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
