Charlie Endell Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I was surrounded by Poles in A6 - they were all good lads - no issues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 In Section P5 there was a guy in his 60s or 70s being taken out after the Fletcher goal with blood all down his shirt. A young guy said that he was smacked by a Polish fan for celebrating. He looked in a really sore way. The Police were not willing to go in at all, even with some Polish guys pointing out the culprit. Last night was pretty bad. I don't mind there being a mixed crowd if the atmosphere is good. When they scored their first, one eejit set of one of the bang things right at my feet. I almost shat myself. Going through the turnstiles, there were no searches going on at all. No wonder they managed to bring in all their gear.

Mox Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Some absolute weapons in the Scotland support tonight. Embarrassing Our fans are probably amongst some of the worst going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie x Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Police must have forgotten to take their brave pills. Most of them were lined up at full time getting in folks way in Somerville drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Recently at easter road there has been big police presence with sniffer dogs trying to catch doughnuts bringing in smoke grenades. No such thing last night along with not intervening in fights in stadium and letting Polish fans drink outside Hampden. Bunch of pussies.

RenfrewBlue Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 On the way into the stadium some idiots were letting off firecrackers and one went off right next to my 9 year old. He's not one to frighten easily but wasn't really wanting to go into the game after that. Police are a joke and nothing will change unless we make formal complaints end masse. I don't mind away supporters in our end as met two Polish guys with a wee boy who were fine and chatted about the Irish score etc. The large group of ####wits in the East Stand were an issue as the animosity was clear from before the kick off. As to flares, they should be arrested immediately for that. Stupid, dangerous and utterly unacceptable in a stadium in the modern world. If you think it adds to the atmosphere then you're a twat. Try seeing anything through the smoke the cause or even breath the stinking stuff. I'd also like to see your reaction if one was thrown at you. ####wits.

Pencilsrossco Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Werent any Poles round us in B7 but most we encountered before the game were sound apart from some fanny who had a go at a taxi driver at the metro tesco behind the West stand. Think the police managed to get a hold of him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Disappointing to hear this about the Poles as the ones I encountered in Warsaw last year were brand new. Perhaps it is their travelling fans that are the problem, both at club and national level. I recall stories of Polish fans running amok in a Belfast shopping centre before a game against Northern Ireland, and Slask Wrowclaw fans causing real bother in Dundee before a UEFA Cup tie against United. It was so bad that Dundee police had to use riot dogs for the first time in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went up to say hello to a few of them having a bevvy in Dundee city centre on the day of the game and got the response 'prepare to die' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencilsrossco Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Maybe it's a case of all the ones staying here or other parts of the Uk that have travelled here that caused the problem. After all these guys don't have many opportunities to see their country and have probably just went a bit overboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartansmarf Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That was going to be my next point with regards to flares in Scottish grounds, you bet me too it It's bad enough having to put up with the odd eejit having a fag, I'm on permanent medication for a throat problem, smoke and such like inflames it. We're meant to have laws that protect us with such things in stadiums. I really hope I don't read tomorrow a kid or another innocent supporter has been injured through idiots setting these things off. Some muppet infront of us was smoking and when I told him to put it out I was met with a hail of abuse....but they were coked off their faces, twats.

I think I complained to five different officers about the amount of poles standing drinking, I said if it was a Scottish fan we would have been arrested and they all just basically shrugged their shoulders!!

Lamia Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Was in the South Upper tonight in Q3. Poland fans in there were okay. Spoke to a few of them. I strongly beg to differ they were utter scum. We had to leave at half time due to them forcing themselves in front of us standing and refusing to move stewards refused to do anything We moved seats then more Poles wanted these seats and we got shunted for them. Right now I don't feel inclined to return to Hampden and my opinion of Poles had changed somewhat. I know you can't tar all fans with the same brush but I have actually never felt so intimidated at a game in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 just got into the ground to see them score, polish boys let off a flare, stewards just stood around and watched, had to stop my mate from going at them, it ended up getting getting chucked out to the concorse, tbh i dont blame the stewards , it should be the police's job to get people out the stadium (after the stewards report them) apart from that the polish we met were sound apart from the big nationalist march outside central station, how is it possible for 100 men to have no hair and wear such shite clothes?

Before the Germany game the Polis were giving it the big I ams to people drinking on the wee grassy bit next to tescos and the high rise flats getting folk to stop drinking, there was no problem whatsoever. They are a shower of shiftless good for nothing, shitebag, egotistical s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This is an edited highlights version with involved much discussion with stewards and police. And the fans in question who moved in front of us were clearly of the hooligan variety as were many more in that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Who mentioned any clubs? I presume he's alluding to the fact that Motherwell fans (as an example) are policed very differently from Celtic or Rangers fans at pittodrie, stmirren.... As he said, not to bring club politics into it, but it's the same shitebag mentality of picking on small groups of teenage boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he said, not to bring club politics into it, but it's the same shitebag mentality of picking on small groups of teenage boys. Spot on.On the way to the game last night a WPC spotted a Scotland fan drinking out of a can whilst walking to the ground so she removed it from him. As he walked away he said "well done, you'll get a promotion for that". No swearing and some mild banter. She decides to give him a fixed penalty for it. She could have done it right away for the can but only did it as he was cheeky. Compare that to the Police "response " to the Polish fans. Utterly useless. I'll be making a formal complaint to the SFA and Police Scotland and unless others do too there's absolutely no chance of anything changing.
