andyhrfc 2,242 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 As a Ger living south of the border it concerns me that many people in England are getting pissed off with this sort of draconian measure and see Scotland as a laughing stock. Sadly some hope that there will be an overwhelming Yes vote in the referendum. People are sick and tired of the little Hitlers taking control of matters north of the border with nobody having the guts to stand up them.

gogzy 31,195 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 what a fucking cop out.I get the no pyro rule,and agree with it. But using it as an excuse to ban flags is bloody pathetic.All they need to do is position a few stewards at the back of the stadium,they will be able to see anyone behind the banners. I hope the club come out and say something about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Easter Road - BBC Alba - No big banners to make it a spectacle.They really hate the fact that we're on the way back.This is they type of cause the 'fans groups' should be battling against, yet their collective silence is astounding.Police Scotland, aka the Stazi, has just announced that fans caught singing, laughing, smiling or in anyway enjoying themselves will be arrested.

simon 1,741 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Police Scotland doing their upmost to destroy the atmosphere of a cup final. It's bizarre that we've had one or two incidents with pyro this season yet we are treated like it's a common occurrence. Celtic ruin a section of fir park and they get to take whatever they want to their fina....oh aye, whoops, Nevermind about that bit. This is what the RFFF money should be used for, challenging this ridiculous bill that allows over the top policing to ruin a perfectly good day out.

PRW. 5,631 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The club and fans should be fighting this to fuck. Don't let it rest because if they can get away with doing it tomorrow with little opposition they'll continue to do it.Fans are completely up against it in the UK but the backing of the club is what we need. As seen with the taigs months ago, flags banned off PS, club come out against it, unbanned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFox 245 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 sneak them in and fck them,only joking plod! but if someone did they are not going to wade into the crowd at a final live on tv.Also what constitutes `large banner`in the legal sense? Is a large Union flag ok then? If not then what is the maximum size allowed `legally`?`Hello police how can we help you?` `Going to the match tomorrow and want to take a flag,maybe a banner,what`s the maximum size I can take?``Er ...em...hold on and I`ll check`Absolute joke!

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Heads up!Discovered by the Bridgeton Loyal who've been in talks with David Martin all week about their brand new 24ft x 24ft banner.Both Rangers & Hibs security had gave the banner the ok as it's professionally made and has all the required safety certification.The Bridgeton Loyal lads just found out tonight from Rangers that Police Scotland have said NO large banners will be allowed into Easter Road on Sunday.Looks like certain people at Police Scotland are really trying to put a dampner on this Cup final.Aye Stephen House no doubt - McKaskill's lacky.
