    Some our fans trying to justify fellow supporters is being kettled for hours is mind boggling to me.

    It certainly wouldn't be that if it happened to them.

    Doesn't happen to them so they don't care about the treatment of fellow fans

    Attauide would soon change if this was happening to them


    Camera shoved in yer face for 90 minutes


    Police following you before and after games


    Turning up at yer place of work


    6 am raids in front of kids and families


    Thousands spent going through court only to be told not guilty after months of pointless time

    If you don’t consent to a search the police can still carry it out if they suspect you of committing a crime. That hasn’t happened here though. They’ve held a load of people basically hostage in the middle of a road for a few hours so they didn’t get seeing the football then let them go.

    Well, I think I already addressed the pyro thing.

    If you want me to condemn that specific banner, I'll happily do so for multiple reasons that belong in HP&R; but that's just my opinion. It's a freedom of expression issue for me.

    They’re being searched because some of the stuff they do isn’t legal (the merits or demerits on the legalities are for another discussion) & some of the ultra fan groups were acting like animals down Argyle St with the Huns last time out

    To me it’s all performative nonsense really - it’s just engrained in the ultra culture that they need to have animosity with the Polis.

    I (and probably c.60k others) didn’t get stopped and patted down on Sunday when going to the game, presumably on the basis I wasn’t up to no good. But if I did get stopped, I’d rather do the simple thing of showing my ID

    So what about the hundreds more who missed the game because of over handed police tactics

    Imagine trying to justify fellow Celtic fans being harassed by police

    Utterly embarrassing
