It's illegal to set off a flare if it's not an emergency so why aren't these folk getting whipped out the stadium and arrested .

The cynic in me says it's because the police and Stewards know that it will lead to an altercation as most the flares are thrown by casuals looking for trouble.

This whole situation could and should have been avoided. https://news.stv.tv/west-central/msp-to-contact-spfl-and-police-scotland-over-arrest-of-teenage-motherwell-fan-at-st-mirren-game

For all the numpties out there. Anyone caught with a flare or smoke bomb will be banned from the stadium.

So, to date, how many HAVE been banned?

Well the statement only appeared today. Probably the lout from Motherwell is the first.

[ALBIONSAINT]

I wonder how many will be picked out from the Sevco or Septic games?

Isn't this an old idea and should have been in place, and actioned, for quite a while?

let's take care of our own house first before doing the usual and deflecting towards the Old Firm. 

Not denying you have a point but the old "He who throws the first stone" etc.

From my recollection,  i can't remember any flares/pyrotechnics that have used by home fans at home games. 

Plenty of other accusations floating around though.

So, it's ok to be an arsehole at away games?

St Mirren 'fans' have used pyrotechnics outside the stadium but mostly at away games when they can be complete arseholes.

To my best understanding, St Mirren Park isn't an away fixture and away games weren't being discussed on this occasion.

Aye, ok.

Plenty of smoke bombs from the Aberdeen fans today and reports of a Saints supporter's bus being bricked (non confirmed).

Football hooliganism seems to be back, just like the Thatcherism that spawned it. Fecking hell, what a shite world we live in.

I have no time for it. A season ticket holder for many years. I would stop going if this becomes the norm.

So there was no football hooligans before the thatcher government?

There was, but it became more organised around that time.

Is there a clear connection to Thatcher around this then?

Its fairly straightforward. Disaffected youth find a common negative activity to involve themselves in, fighting other disaffected youth from elsewhere.

Those in power love this, as it means young working class kids are fighting each other rather than those taking their opportunities away from them.

FFS. Away and take your political shite to a suitable thread. 

PS I love how the blame culture has taken over in Britain, especially blaming the government for almost everything.
