shull Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 5 minutes ago, Wendy Saintss said: The reason the Police don't intervene with OF supporters is partly down to the fact that those clubs attract the filth of Scottish society. They attract vile, violent people, they attract life's losers. And they attract thousands of them. A club like St. Mirren mainly attracts decent people. There are a few exceptions, the likes of faraway for example. But in general, followers of clubs like St. Mirren are more reasonable humans beings. Much easier to deal with and much easier to swipe banners from! Totally correct. Especially the bit about the Arbroff numpty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 This whole episode reeks of just what is wrong with our game, Ok GLS and ur BOD have made a stance on a banner, but what about our accommodated visitors..... They can sing what they like, have banners on what they want, and yet W7 are just meant to beat a drum and sing support to team This is a crock........................ As said above is singing, having banners to support the IRA and the UDA all ok in the polices eyes Or is the real fact they can tackle a few wayful Buddies but shit themselves when they have hundreds of abusive wee thugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doakes Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Notice the PDE have made it their front page this morning. Before this gets silly, again - had a conversation with the SLO last night and there's 2 issues that need to be addressed 1. the police issue - sharing of personal information - meeting now planned w/ regards to that 2. approval of banners, what's acceptable & what isn't. One thing both myself and the SLO agreed on is that the banner didn't actually break any rules, other than being asked not to display it - on hold for the moment until the police issue is dealt with I think this may result in some positivies if the right conversations take place, there's clearly issues that need to be ironed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand why you want us to be like them. Sectarianism in Scotland continues to be a problem in Scotland because folk like you let it happen.

The ‘W7 collective’... is there any structure to the group? Any identifiable leadership? Some sort of committee? Any criteria for someone to be classed as a ‘member’? Any individual(s) regarded by both the club and indeed police, as being the leaders, and if there are any issues - such as a banned banner being unfurled despite knowing it was banned, would the club / police know who ‘was in charge’? Serious question, because as you may or may not be aware, when I first started the ‘Inverness flag day’ idea when we were denied a home flag raising opener, I received a call at home from the Chief of Northern Constabulary. In no uncertain terms, he told me if any flag poles or sticks were involved and used as weapons in the event of any trouble, as far as they were concerned, my arse was toast. They considered me the leader of this ‘flag waving group’ who were about to invade Inverness. I am no criminal, there was no criminal intent, I just said we should wave flags and make noise... yet the police got hold of my phone number and using very strong language, warned me I’d be up to my neck in it if this idea saw any trouble... I suppose the recent ‘9 am visits to non-criminals’ are nothing new then. I was shitting myself all day up there, thankfully no-one decided to lamp a Teuchter with a stick that day. So, what’s the script with the W7 group? Do you have a funny handshake? Edited September 19, 2018 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whydowebother Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Some are slaughtering GLS for discussing this publicly - he was replying to a post publicly mocking him on Facebook, added to more posts lambasting the club, many from people who probably know almost none of the facts. People are saying the banner that was banned was entirely football related - "Fans Not Criminals" was it? That is entirely political.

On the approval of banners , it has already been reported that banners had to be pre-approved , it wasn't the club that broke that agreement , IMO the club accommodate the W7 quite well allowing standing in that area they are in . The W7 guys bring a bit of atmosphere but the club should always be respected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these young guys need to grow up, or just f**k off. Posting personal abuse while hiding behind a keyboard is just pathetic. If he’s got a grievance then grow a pair and contact GLS personally and then enter into some dialogue like any sensible fan would do.

That's like asking do you know the person who sits 4 rows behind you and 2 seats to the left Hundreds of people in there If Gordon canny take a slagging on the internet, maybe his new internet guidelines (which is a ridiculous concept) will cover it to protect his feelings I'm sure he's been called worse Threads been done to death so last post on the subject from me Edited September 19, 2018 by Doakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
