The club definitely needs to clarify the position and also WHO made the decision not to let the flag in
I was just passing the bowling club when I saw a group of about 20 young guys with the flag. They were being asked to unfurl it,I thought so they could check what was on it
not any offensive/political/religious
Once the boys unfurled it the steward pointed to his ear and was saying it was to big “I’ve been told it’s to big” this was a steward not the police so someone within the hierarchy of the club made that decision WHO ?? think we have a right to know
Now the flag was big but no where near as big as what has been unfurled within Ibrox or Parkhead in recent weeks so unless they have different health and safety laws than the rest of us don’t see what the problem was.
When told this one of the young boys said Ah feck off we’ve already cleared it with the club The police sergeant took offence to this and along with two PCs grabbed the young boy and pinned him against the wall of the East Stand with the sergeant right in the boys face (trying to provoke a reaction from the boy) totally OTT from the police IMO
I asked a young WPC what the young boy had done and the next minute I’ve got two PCs in my face asking what my problem is .
Our fan base is not that great that we can alienate the young boys who back the team to the hilt and being a bit of passion and colour to the bottom end of the east stand
Was it just me but from where I sit in the POD it looked as if some of the boys walked out after about 10 to 15 minutes into the game.
The club really need to tell us if the boys had permission to bring the flag in and if they did WHO made the decision to change it
