"I'd like to make an appointment for an eye test." "Good idea - I'm the butcher"

I get the legal position, but can't clubs or the SFA just ban the culprits? Name and shame. Businesses like shops and pubs can ban customers for whatever reasons they like.

You'll never guess who I bumped into on my way to the opticians last week... Everybody! 😬🤪

In England it is an offence to run onto the pitch. It is only an offence in Scotland if you do something when you run on. How mental is that!

Part of the problem is that entering the field of play is not a specific criminal offence in scotland, as it is in England and Wales so its encouraging that the Scottish government have announced that they are looking to change that going forward. But unless the relevant parties ie Scottish Government, SFA, SPFL clubs, police Scotland and local authorities get together and get serious, nothing will change.

True. They’d probably go to the chemist and claim it was the optician.

The one that sells tinted glasses?

Reminds me of Firhill 🤣.

Talking about Fir Park 😅

The officials are so blind they wouldnt be able to find specsavers.

I assume you go to the same optician as the officials.

I found this ok good laugh Then it got me thinking thank goodness Fir Park is not beside a river 😳🤣

Ok, so that's already different from the original "Any supporter entering the park" proposal. Now somebody has to count them as well. Just ask the folk who were having issues trying to buy tickets for the past couple of games how annoying the whole "check their buying history" thing went (and how many folk were still spotted in the wrong end despite the checks). And you'd want every team to do that for every game, even when the ground's only half full? If not, does the 10 person pitch invasion rule still apply to those ones? Etc.

I 100% agree that it should be done, but thorough checking would be required. However if we take the recent Celtic game, look at the number of away fans in our homestands. They all slipped through the club's net. Procedures would need to be much more rigorous. The principle of strict liability has already been established through punishment for the use of pyros; just extend it.

It is that easy, the away club issues the tickets to the away supporters, checking their buying history ie season ticket holders or buying multiple times for home games. No history no ticket. Rule for invasion can be more than 10 supporters, taking away to odd idiot who runs on and is usually grabbed by the police or stewards anyway.

To be fair I’ve the same problem at times and always check their shirt number

Yep https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/12/12/calum-ward-extends-stay-in-ml1/

And folk will fall off their seat when I say this but is Ward not on contract till 2028 also?

That's our 5 big sellable assets with deals for the next 2 years. 2028 - Fadinger 2027 (With 1 year options) - Watt, Just, Maswanhise, Longelo

Brilliant news! Hopefully a few more extensions in the pipeline to ward off the vultures!

Brilliant news, an unsung hero this season,

I'm quite stunned at that. He was in my definite "be away in the summer" category ... Great bit of business. Fair cheered me up.

Great news - smashing player who is crucial to our system.

Excellent bit of business getting fadinger on an extended contract,he's been an outstanding find for us.

Remember, it’s the same people who continue to back Clarke that also continue to back Collum and his troop of morons.
