See to me the signs were there for weeks on end. The Friday night display I have to be honest was decent but should have been seen as a sign of things to come. There are only a few streets into George Square and could easily have been blocked off. Nothing was open anyway.

Plenty of city advertising to state that it was closed for the weekend could have taken place, but no; they let it carry on and hoped they could police it sensibly.

Mental.

ghod a contingency plan would be asking too much of them, to be fair how could they know this would happen considering it only happened a few weeks ago phannies.

a mixture of your committed hatey idiot combined with the idiots that haven't bothered for 10 year but are now pure die hards and they are going to show it by acting like hard men.

recipe for disaster.

Interesting point

I’ve got dinner in there right, can’t have a drink with it but I’m booked in round the corner outside for a swally.

She actually couldn’t run a bath.

Sometimes we not see what we want to see





----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think everybody knows that a lot of good stuff goes on. Some of it is even genuinely well intended.
That's completely irrelevant to the matter at hand and I'm not sure why you would even bring it up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To balance the negative links I posted.

To make the point that if you look for sh 1t behaviour from football fans you’ll find it no problem.

To make the point that every football club has a full spectrum of followers.

To make the point that bad news is way more highlighted than good news (which perhaps it should be in some respects)

To show that people’s behaviour is driven by the content of their character not what team they support e.g. the example of the person getting slashed at Parkhead- you said that it would’ve happened anyway cos the people involved knew each other and it was a personal thing.

Which was the point I was making - the person who bottled the ten year old Rangers fan didn’t do it because he was a Celtic fan, he did it because he was an out and out lowlife coward.

Those are some of the reasons

Bears are really good at it

Two cheeks of the same erse. We're the fatter right cheek and you're the smellier left cheek.

Aye bits for eternity. It is what it is.

Police managed it badly, should have known what was coming. Decent football fans mixed with political points scorers, rage was an ingredient they should have noted.

posted on 17/5/21

The fans who behaved that way are appalling. It's embarrassing. I make no excuses for that at all.

It is however amateur on behalf of the government and authorities. There are so many ways this could have been managed better or prevented. They learned no lessons from March when we actually won it, and on both occasions what was going to happen was well advertised in advance.

The government could have allowed Rangers to host a ticketed event - mandatory testing for anyone attending - which the council could even have insisted on payment for which might have funded some of the problems we have in the city at the moment. Policing, security all covered by the club. All contained within Ibrox. Could have been a fan zone with things for fans to do to stop them just getting hammered and charging about.

Nope, just ban the event and then be taken by surprise that the same thing happens again. Then blame the club for not doing enough to stop it. Those at the club must be banging their heads off the wall on more than one count.

This is the 3rd time a group of people have rioted in the city centre in the last year

3 times at George Square

call the people out that are doing and why they are doing it

thousands of people singing about being up to their knees in catholics blood

lets call it out for what it is

posted on 17/5/21

It doesn't. But it depends what you want to get out of it, if the idea is just to blame people then great 100% of that goes on the people on Saturday.

If the aim is to prevent it happening in future then those in charge need to reflect on how they handled it. We have a situation where 12,000 people are going to a game in less than a month and Scotland play England over a similar period.

If the motive is to blame rather than prevent then crack on with those who were there.

Fair point.

Also ask yourself on Friday if you could have predicted mayhem at George Square on Saturday. I'm sure you could have so why did the police not..

But the majority of the blame lies with the flag sheggers.

they were shouting about doing this for months n the polis didn't get ahead of the game and sort it

why didn't they let them congregate in Bellahouston park or something
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not even a hindsight thing
My son and I spoke weeks ago about using Belkahoudton
Less issues for general public
Mess in the one place
Plenty room for the factors to spread out
Not entirely sure it was a “triumphalist” March in the sense mags says(at least not for all attendees)
I hate what these coonts done fookin even ruined this morning on my stoat about couldn’t listen to radio Scotland as it was wall to wall Rangers idiocy
I really hate the “not real fans “ thing
Clubs always do this
Happy to sell to and exploit but tats up and it’s oot the windae
They were Rangers fans that they also happened to be fuds is an unfortunate piece of serendipity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trimphalist, aye, as in winning 55 lol.

And Celtic being schite.

That’s what I’ve been trying to say all along

The club, the police, the council, the government perhaps could have tried to mitigate what was coming.

The fact that they would have to is completely down to how an individual behaves.

It’s the individual who gets mwi, it’s the individual who deliberately breaks lockdown rules, it’s the individual who assaults coppers.

Find them and fookin jail them

To be fair the polis and govt would have had no quibble had eejits not decided the perfect end to a brilliant day is to throw sharks and other stuff and generally act like fookin hooligans
Shameful vank coonts

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hats off to anyone throwing a shark, hard bastirt.

I could just about tickle an old trout.

thats a fair point actually ghod.

i was very critical of fans turning up in a huff to protest outside celtic park when people haven't seen their families in months.

idiots are idiots and we should expect better of people, not zoo keepers.

video on twitter of stupid lassies giving it "i'd rather be a p@ki than a tim"

morons man, utter morons.

I guess George Square is the most common group point, same reason it seems to be central for marches and protests. It's a place kind of big enough for people in large numbers to congregate and isolate themselves away from others.
