Nope. I did not say baton. They have these things called handcuffs maybe try using them. I am left wing but that does not mean I break the law. What part of 5000 people blatantly breaking the law is ok with you? Edited March 7, 2021 by WilliamBragg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 5000 law breakers outside Ibrox. Not sure why 5 mile radius is mentioned. There are 50 cells in Govan Fill them and the rest will fo pretty quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 How about doing the job we pay them o do. They're quick enough to lift people lying in the road to protest about nuclear weapons but not wee daftness with an Union flag. Arrest a few and they'll soon disperse. These clowns know what a weekender is and won't want to do one.Arrest a few and it will start a riot. You know this. It's about managing and mitigating the situation and ensuring it doesn't turn violent.There's a clear difference between 40 middle aged hippies lying on a road, and 5000-odd, mainly young emotional and exuberant football fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Congratulations to Rangers on not winning the league yet... Covid, crowds and carry outs aside celebrating something you have not achieved yet is truly beastly behaviour!

Rangers are on the verge of winning the league because they got rid of utter jobbers like Halliday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Stuff like this is exactly the reason why crowds returning to football will be at the bottom of the government priorities when lockdown is relaxed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two (now three) responses to trite posts isn't following you around. Anyway, I hope Celtic lose today to set up a non-event when they play Rangers. Even if that happens I expect we'll be having a similar conversation and I'll have to continue to cope with sharing a world with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely lawbreaking is lawbreaking no matter which form it is in? So to prevent a situation you should sit back and do nothing? 5000 people broke Covid regulations and are caught on film. Surely there should at least be retrospective arrests for those identified then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that why they brought in ASBO tickets years ago? Think that was to stop needless arrests or something other nonsense they stated at the time they were brought out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his day even if you didn't get a night in a cell, you were read your rights and formally charged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fairytale story. And ‘only’ about 80 million in losses since the inception of Sevco too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
