The Fan Who Got Lifted For Having A Bottle Of Water


Recommended Posts

Take the bottle off him, give him a warning not to do it again, now sit down and enjoy the game, end of story. Instead it becomes a fucking soap opera because neither police nor stewards have a clue how to take sensible decisions and are completely bound to policies and dogmatic rules.

 

In the course of business I've had cause to consult police on a number of occasions recently and each time found them to be immature, inflexible and utterly dependent on the rulebook. They seem to have lost all ability to make judgements or take independent decisions. Hopeless twats.

Agreed MF. The whole incident was created by the police/stewards and for a Rangers fan to banned for this is diabolical. It is becoming so hard to support the Rangers now and it is very sad that this is the case.

MF, can I ask why you needed to consult the police and what advice they gave you?

 

When it comes to football fans, it's never their faults. The blame always gets passed onto someone else. In my opinion, everyone is to blame for the water bottle fiasco. The supporters, the cop and the steward.

That was probably what the cops course of action would've been until TBO dragged him away from the cops and broke the law themselves. The police then had to act because of those interfering twats!
