WATBB 1,524 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why are so many people getting their knickers in a twist about scrumpled up bits of paper being lobbed at players?It's fucking paper ffs. I'd understand the outrage had it been flares/coins/bottles etc. But it's paper...Scott Allan was having a proper whinge about it when he was getting hit with it, it's like man up ya wee prick, it's paper...

RFC55 108,731 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Its sectarian in nature, you can't throw red white and blue paper at a catholic team.Would Killie, hearts, Dundee or Motherwell (predominantly protestant clubs) have been belted with paper? I think not. Its time to weed out the bigots and cleanse this club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutonblue 1,974 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 My only problem with it was that you knew the ref would add time on for it , also not giving the ball back on a few occasions Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker 377 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 All the paper getting chucked in the air at kickoff was quite a good photo. Chucking the paper at the goalie was a bit of a giggle that got boring after a while. If this becomes a habit, how long before the club are forced to ban paper displays.

Dubaijim 44 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Given that the media and SPFL/SFA are down on us like a ton of bricks for the merest indiscretion then it was just stupid. I was watching in the Middle East with an Arabic commentary so could not hear what was being said but thought someone from the club should have gone down and explained to the fans that no matter how light hearted the intent, it could have led to serious repercussions from the authorities.
