Exglasgowasc Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Never seen so much of it being so openly consumed as I did tonight. appears to me that it is becoming more and more prevalent. Gone seem to be the days when there was a steward or a copper on every turnstile searching everyone. I am in no way anti drink as anyone knows me knows. Just much more of it going on at internationals (at home). Also stewards and coppers seem to have become less visible in the ground with regards to standing in aisles, standing, being pished etc. being able to run on the park and taking selfies. Were they so overstretched in trying to look after the poles and prevent incidents? Far too many not going for the game anymore. Consider the number apparently already in Portugal and missing tonight. Merely my observations and opinions. This coming from the guy who didn't know what colour Scotland were playing in until half time in San Marino in 2001. Incoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 East stand.... Stewards went to get the police to enforce it.. Had ridiculous sight of one column sitting down where there was bedlam errupting nearby with the poles setting off flares... Didnt see any of our brave policemen go to sort that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 In the past Strathclyde's finest would have waded in and nipped the likes of the Poles causing trouble right in the bud. Obviously today's breed are less brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously today's breed are less brave. Why put yourself in the line of fire by tackling the bigger more important issues when you can busy yourself with the piddling little unimportant things? It's all about ticking boxes these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartansmarf Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 As I said in my post (and got abuse for it) there were idiots sitting infront of us drinking amd then they started smoking while doing coke off their empty bottle....I mean cummon, there were kids next to them, I think there are too many halfwits going to games now and I'm seriously considering giving it up.

That's the kind of thing the police should be dealing with, not worrying about somebody not sitting down. Disgusting behaviour especially in font of kids. Would have been very easy to lift them, identify them and ban them from Hampden (and the SSC if members) for life. Unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) It is even more ludicrous then, when inside the ground just after entering I saw a young bloke being chased after by stewards near the food kiosk in the West Stand and being told to throw his bottle of water in the bin as it was bought outside.

Exactly, I had a go at them and I've never been met with such abuse from a scotland fan, they were totally out of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Hunt Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This is worrying in that we have managed to build a fantastic reputation as well-behaved fans - leaving the bad old days of 70s behind and self-policing. Hopefully this will not continue and, whilst the polis and stewards should be sorting it out, we need to maintain our standards because the english press in particular will love rubbing our noses in it even more if they get a hold of stories like this.

Not bothered personally as long as folk don't act like dicks agree, problem is as its illegal the type of people you get drinking in games are often like that, cant remember the last time i drunk in a ground, must have been the 90's. horrified to find at dortmund that the beer was alcohol free mind you the half bottle of rum got ditched in a hedge outside hampden and drunk after the game last night.
