wembley67lisbon Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 At Scottish football. Are they having a laugh? It's as if folk are going in stadiums and stabbing and shooting others. football grounds will be even more empty in ten years, which is probably what the police and sfa want. Less hassle. Get folk to watch it on tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's almost unbelievable. As you said, it almost seems like they want to drive more people away. It won't be long before the SFA resurrect Mrs Thatchers idea of ID Cards for football fans from the 80's. There are so many factors that have driven people away from attending matches, not least the actions of stewards and Police and this will only serve to reinforce that. Will ordinary fans do anything about it though or just sit and accept it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will ordinary fans do anything about it though or just sit and accept it? They will accept it and lie down like all the other things that much is clear by now. Football fans were emasculated a while ago. It is like they want to make folk gathering so expensive they do not do it any more. It costs stupid money to go to the pub for a pint with your friends yet you can buy the exact same booze from a supermarket and go home and drink it (but without the social) for a fraction. Why?

AberdeenAngus Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Complete smokescreen to give them an excuse that they are doing nothing. Shower of shysters. That's what it looks like. Still trying to work out why the Alloa chairman is so outspoken against 'Strict Liability'. Is there an issue of supporter misbehaviour at Alloa? The number of times I've seen the police video supports I'd have thought they were collecting all the evidence they needed to make arrests. I would also think that all clubs know who the fans are allegedly that causing them a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 WTF! On a side note to this, I've seen "Grampian" police call young boys at Motherwell games at Pittodrie by name, which I found slightly unsettling! I think I was on "the list" for a while too.

The authorities have done feck all about it themselves. No fines no points deductions feck all. Both absolutely valid points. It's remarkable that we're in 2016 and the Scottish football authorities are still as afraid to tackle the problems head on as they have been for over 100 years. 4 million quid to keep on continually skirting around the issue is insanity. Make clearly defined guidelines, and when the fans of certain clubs step over them, deduct points. That'll solve the problem of sectarianism or whatever else in the Scottish game, overnight.
