On this occasion its some Motherwell fans but everyone is being punished, the ones doing it wont give a feck because if we can't afford a certain player, that doesnt matter to them...theyre just in it for the theatre.

Yup big round of applause to the clowns that lit flares in freiburg knowing fine well the club would get punished

10/11 is not bad! I think SOD looked lack of fitness in his last game, it's not the ideal choice and I think if SOD had 30 min runouts last few games I would agree. I think it's too tough an ask.

Again, if feeling is so strong throughout the league it's on the fans to make their views known to the clubs and try to force their hand. My feeling, though, is that if the clubs tried to dictate to Sky or any other provider when games can be shown, and how many 3pm Saturday kickoffs there have to be, we'd at least see a sizeable reduction in the value of the deal, if not the actual companies themselves saying, "no worries, we'll find something else to put money into. Best of luck." On clubs having little to no regard for the impact on fans, I think they're caught between a rock and a hard place. Do they draw a red line with the TV companies as mentioned above, and risk the TV deal being worth less? Will fans be happy to accommodate less of a playing budget, a downturn in quality perhaps, and clubs not being able to spend in order to have more fan-friendly kickoff times? It's a nuanced situation.

Selfish, entitled arseholes who prioritise themselves and their own image ahead of that of the club.

Talked to a Bantams fan this morning and they think the world of him. Devastated he is leaving.

Good post. At the end of the day, armchair fans rule. If they continue to pump their cssh into TV things will only get worse.

Graham Alexander could be on the move to Preston

Would the mass pyro displays at the start of the Freiburg away game and various other matches this season so far fall into that category? The club officials can see who is responsible and so far seem to have taken no action, the fines so far add up to a serious chunk of change, for me sterner direct action is required as nice please dont statements from the club dont seem to be cutting it.

I see we have asked them to not do it again. That’s nice.

Further to what was said above, I think some people are too quick to view "the bois" as an organised, cohesive group that is singularly responsible for all of these infractions. The truth is that it's likely more complicated than that. It's like a media report saying that "Motherwell fans" chanted X, Y, or Z during a game. Which Motherwell fans? All Motherwell fans? Some Motherwell fans? And the classic insinuation that somehow there's a way that fans should be self-policing or something. Bottom line is, if individuals break the rules, they should be dealt with. But dealt with as individuals. Unless there's a planned, coordinated incident, such as an offensive tifo that was put together by a single group or something along those lines, I wouldn't be too quick to condemn a certain group in particular.

It wasnt block e though, just some dudes that stand in that vicinity, folks get touchy bout that. Bit like life of Brian and Judean People's Front...bottom line is , its cost club a shitload of money.

What an absolute waste of the clubs money due to a minority of morons!!!!

Statement on UEFA Fines

An excellent point, but the ordinary fan seems to be the last person The Powers think about.

There's also the issue of older and younger fans who, for a variety of reasons, may not be able to or want to attend evening games. That was fine when it was the odd midweek fixture, but it's increasingly becoming the norm, with more and more games that were originally scheduled for 3pm on a Saturday being moved to Friday or Saturday evenings. These changes are largely dictated by TV companies, while the footballing authorities seem to have little or no regard for the impact on supporters. If this becomes the norm, buying a season ticket may simply no longer be worthwhile for some fans, and nobody seems willing to do anything about it.

I think most people are OK with the odd change of kick-off time. The problem is that the TV companies have pushed the boundaries to the extent that 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday feel like a rarity. Looking at our six remaining home matches in 2026, we have one in October, zero in November, and two in December. So exactly half.

I see this clip as something Goggles is trying to bring into a new ground or dare I say Fir Park not as big as the MCG though 🤣

Hopefully he's the Dutch Pat Fenlon!

Or he'll lose a few games, get outcoached by Robinson and Elvis, and the fans will be wanting him out the door!

I see Hibs are following our lead from last year in appointing an unknown foreign head coach / Manager, Marink Reedijk, never played pro football just like AJ. So no doubt it will be no more kick and chase in Leith, we have started a managerial revolution.

I wondered how long it would take you! 🤣🤣, 0.1% almost a compliment 🤪

You are 4.9% out with your calculation.

95%, I do throw in the occasional gem 🤣

Most?
