glasgow sheep Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Think it has been mentioned on here before that the stewards and Police were completely out of order on Saturday, harassing the Well fans and treating them like violent criminals for the heinous crime of standing and singing. They are slowly but surely trying to kill any kind of passion and excitement at SPL games and will only succeed in driving folk like that away from the game, folk that no doubt spend a large proportion of their income on the clubs. We've all been subjected to it at some point but the pricks in yellow took it to a whole new level on Saturday by the looks of things. Only time they don't seem interested in harassing visiting fans is when the OF come to town, when they are too feart to do anything about behaviour that is a million times worse than what the 'Well boys were upto.

dave_min Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I was sitting in good old Section S, and noticed the Motherwell 'Ultras' (Doubt they're called that) getting far too much attention for doing very little. They were all sitting about 20-30 rows away from the bulk of their own fans, and absolutely miles away from ours, so if they wanna wave flags, why not let them? But then Pittodrie stewards, am I surprised? Am I fuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true GS, and photos clearly highlight the inconsistency in applying the rules. What a surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I sit right opposite the away fans in the corner of the Dick Donald, and I thought they were being a right bunch of pricks. How difficult is it to sit down when you are asked to? Stewards were just doing their job I'm afraid, like it or not. Obviously they don't do it when the Infirm are up though.

manc_don Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I sent an email to the club asking why the stewards treat non old firm fans completely different ot OF fans. Yet to receive a reply and don't expect to. I have no qualms about them doing their job, If they are going to be facists, I want them to be facist to the lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult is it to sit down when you are asked to? I sit there too and they did seem like arseholes most of the time but on the other hand the stewards were a bit out of line. There was one chucked out after about 5-10 minutes just for making a noise while standing - which the bigot brothers do as well but nothing is said to them!! But thats because they sell out their allocation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to receive a reply and don't expect to. I have no qualms about them doing their job, If they are going to be facists, I want them to be facist to the lot of them OK, I once spoke to the/a match commander at Pittodrie when the tims were in town, very soon after a mate was fucked out for making a sectarian remark at Ibrox. The tims were enjoying one of thier traditional folk songs (brought to you by the letters I, R and A) when I asked why they didn't grab a couple of the guilty and do them, purely as an example to the others. The reply was fairly predictable but no less infuriating. She said that she knew it was unfair treatment but that it was because of the sheer size of the old firm support that meant sending in a couple of dozen officers to grab a couple of them would start a riot. Whereas dicking about with a few hundred AFC fans at Ibrox would be a piece of piss, cherry pick whomsoever you like. I guess this is why the Well fans were getting such lovingly close treatment from a bunch of over eager fuckwits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajja Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Lets just shop the person that took the photos of the Motherwell fans being a nuisance. He could get a life ban and then we could all rest easy that the correct and just path had been walked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
