JIMMY SAYS AYE TO A COUNTY STY

How about playing benny hill music if the opposition decide to come out at half time a bit early

I'm one who doesn't think you are full of sh1t, CaleyD...as you might notice from some of your post reps. I am very much of the same opinion as you. It seems to me that the Dundee fans have the same arrogant mindset as our banking institutions have had ... ie...."we are too big and important to fail" ....so we don't have to do the moral thing.just the thing which ensures we can still exist and profit. So bankers pushed the envelope well past the level which is acceptable to the average citizen, if not the Government.......just as Dundee FC has pushed it past what is acceptable to the average football punter if not the SFA.. Nothing to do, really, as to rivalry.......just as to what is right, fair and equitable as perceived by those who have been there....and those who may well be there in the future. The only teams who have been there are Livingston and Gretna...everybody else has not yet achieved the status of living well outside their means....TWICE.......and are prepared to accept the same sanctions as Dundee FC if they were so monumentally stupid to do so in their future.. As an ICT supporter, though admittedly not one who injects much into the ICT income due to distance from Inverness, I would be sickened past redemption if ICT were to trash the incomes of 116 other individual people/companies (ignoring the government HMRC) to ensure ICT survived at the expense of 116 other entities with employees to be maintained.....because they have no other thought but as to how little they can get off with paying to creditors in order to ensure ICT's existence .....and the consequences to the employees of the 116 creditor comanies is nothing to do with them. Sure, there is a difference between illegal and moral......but is it not a sign of our times that there is a difference between illegal and immoral?

Hey thats nice! police applying hair gel for the fans, cool.

Nah he was trying to make himself look like a twit and succeeded Yeah, told me he had been on here taking lessons from you on that one

This is the main problem, we're not allowed to stand. Does it not go back to the Taylor report and Hillsborough? I think it's like our laws on Marley's special herb where, depending on the officer who catches you (and what music their into), you will get treated differently, even though it's against the rules all the same. My mate told me this, I wouldn't know for sure though..... As I've pointed out numerous times, "you must sit" is an SPL directive, not law. You just have to go to Murrayfield for a Rugby Match or to a stadium concert to see thousands of people standing without issue and you don't see people there being harassed and huckled out of the ground by the stewards. The law states that any stadium with a capacity greater than 10,000 should be all seated and that anyone admitted to the stadium must receive a ticket for an allocated seat, it says nothing about you having to remain seated. The Taylor Report recommended all seater stadiums as a means of controlling numbers in stadiums and preventing crowd rushes/surges. It was not designed to stop people from enjoying the game. The problem is, getting into a tussle with the Stewards is not going to change anything. It's the SPL that need to alter or scrap their "You must sit" policies. Clubs are quick to hide behind the "SPL Rules, Sorry" line, but ultimately they are the ones with the power to change/scrap the SPL rules...not the stewards or police. It is the clubs that we should be putting pressure on to have things changed, not just at their own grounds but across the entire league. Boycotting games is pointless unless you first make a proper case for what you want and why you are doing it, and even then, you have to make sure you are boycotting clubs who are not in support of your proposals. It could easily be that whilst we may not have the same level of issue with our own stewards, the club itself supports the SPL rules on sitting down...whilst St Mirren could be against the SPL rules on sitting but have a match commander who applies them to the letter. I think people have a fair point about how they are treated etc, but I also find it a bit cringworthy when I see/hear how they handle themselves when they get in to a situation. Teenagers who are pissed up to the eyeballs getting into the face of Stewards and, on occasion, deliberately setting out to wind them up doesn't do anyone any favours and gives them an easy excuse to dismiss any complaint. What's more, when it's the same people who seem to be in the thick of it time and again then, rightly or wrongly, you get yourself the label of being a troublemaker and again, give them an easy excuse to dismiss any complaint. Not saying fans have to accept the situation, but they do need to be a bit smarter in how they handle things.
