ANEWHOPE Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It's OK to just say "Some of our fans are scumbags, and what they did was horrible", you know. Nobody will think it makes you any less of a Falkirk fan. Totally agree. There seems to be a perverse mentality amongst some football fans in general and my club at the moment that any form of criticism, even if something as abhorrent is an act of betrayal or disloyalty. For me it is simple, those that carried this out don’t support any club that I associate with. They are not fans or supporters, they need to be rooted out and banned. Also fed up hearing some try to excuse or justify their actions. Claiming that it is ‘banter’, or that ‘they’ started it or that ‘other’ clubs do likewise. Also that those that find this offensive are just the easily offended. Total bullshit. It was a shameful act and in my opinion anyone that defends or it is part of the issue. The club statement was a good one but too little to late and should have been made after the SFA proceedings were completed initially . However I think regardless the statement will not make a difference to those involved as this type of behaviour is entrenched in a small minority who seem to live for this type of hate filled shit. Sadly this incident will just escalate what was once a fairly harmless rivalry into more hate. Although the FFC players should be given credit for taking direct action to stop it by ensuring we won’t be playing each other next year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully both clubs can work with the police, get the CCTV viewed and get them identified. I love banter/rivalry but this is neither. As if this clusterfuck of a season couldn't get any worse. Totally agree. Was there yesterday and the eyes all came from the same direction. I was surprised the police and stewards done nothing about it at the time. I'll be very surprised if the people doing it are not caught on CCTV though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Genuine question for any Falkirk fan who was there yesterday, was it clear that the pocket of idiots were throwing fake eyeballs at the time, or did it only become apparent what had been thrown once it had been reported online etc.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were right next to the neds in question it was impossible to tell what they were throwing on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was bouncy balls. Missiles thrown on the pitch is illegal though and shocked the police and stewards did not do more to stop it. As I said before it should be easy to spot who done it fr9m CCTV and issue them with banning orders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Who knows ? your club won't be getting away with it , that's for sure . So put away the prayer mat ! I sincerely hope that Falkirk are working with DAFC and the police to identify and ban those involved as that sort of behaviour completely abhorrent and has no place in our club. But what you've said above is complete conjecture. As we haven't adopted Strict Liability in Scotland, there are no real means to punish the clubs for the actions of their fans, so even a fine is unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
