Do you honestly think that
A) Police Scotland have people sitting monitoring the internet 24/7
B) They could have anticipated that hundreds of idiots, in the middle of a pandemic with various travel restrictions, would travel to the one place and protest at poor results from a football team? That football team who have won* the last 11 out of 12 domestic trophies they've played for and are at best 5 points behind.
C) They have loads of officers just sitting around waiting on random protests where hundreds of people are involved? And all these officers are suitably trained and equipped?
As an aside (I know you didn’t raise this point) - they also can’t arrest them all at the time so that’s why they try and film them. Every arrest at the time takes 2 officers away from dealing with the mad crowd.
Think you are letting a dislike for PS to get in the way of logic here.
Listened to it on the radio in utter disbelief. Then the Mars bar commentMars Bar day! 1st January 1994 iirc.
2-0 to Rangers after about 10 minutes. Turned on their directors, hitting one in the mouth with a Mars bar, fighting amongst themselves, Ally Maxwell attacked by a gimp who leapt off a stretcher before being ‘bundled’ by John Brown. I think David Murray refused to attend matches at the piggery after that day.
Jeezo are you really that naive?Do you honestly think that

I think it deserves more attentionSHARKheid .... Bravo sir
A - If dafties like me are aware that timbo is about to go on the lash, twenty minutes before the final whistle, plod isn't? - My @rse. They knew what was a'brewing.
B - Is an insult to our intelligence. You'll be telling me next Rangers fans were to blame at Hampden 2016.
C - Oh, they have plenty of officers sitting around. Just when it actually involves the filth.
Explain to me how a banned march by the thingmy brigade can get an escort up to the scum hut by plod?
Explain how said thinmgy brigade are allowed 60 by 40 banners into the scum hut by plod?
Explain how when said banners are unfolded, even though they contravene laws, Police Scotland do fcu-k all?

Even early 2000s it was bad the root had started kick in thenValuable post. The carnage will be the likes of what we have not seen before, in my opinion.
I have a teenage son and he has been warned that he will be nowhere near the city centre on his own if we do 55 come May. That lot are out of control.
Explain how that’s naive?Jeezo are you really that naive?
That's a keeper! Splendid.I see it's now been labelled as "The Great mentally challenged Reef.
Splendid
I nicked into a bookies to get change for a parking meter and stuck a fiver on the Saints, 8/1.
Gave the stub (along with a tenner) to the waitress in the pub next door. Hopefully she'll get a 40 quid boost tomorrow!!
Sorry mate I'm down south in tier 2. Corals in WinchesterWhat bookies are open?
As much as it was a laugh, you could almost understand it from their point of view back in the 90's.
Protests against a board running them into the ground, protests against Tommy Burns not having his contract renewed. This was Tims protesting about the way their club was ran or the decisions made.
But this ? This is nothing more than a bunch of spotty wee virgins who have an insane sense of self entitlement and simply cannot take a team being better than them. All these excuses about Lawwell & Desmond being to blame(they've gave Lennon over £30m in 18 months) or Lennon not being up to the job are simply smokescreens for their main gripe - us being better than them. This wasn't meant to happen.
Everything they told themselves couldn't or wouldn't happen is now happening. 8 years of Sevco this, sevco that, zombies, Rangers died Keith, hun scum banners, effigies of Rangers fans, General Ashley's tanks on the lawn, Resolution 11, five way agreements and the likes have clogged up their Rangers obsessed minds and for what ? What did they think was going to happen ? Seriously ? Did they expect to win every trophy from now until the end of time ? They've thrown their entire lot in on a tainted ten that no one gives a single fúck about, so much so that 2 died in the wool Tims fucked off to England rather than try win it. 10 means nothing. They could win 12, 13, 14, 15 in a row but the moment we beat them to a league it will all be for nothing. Imagine that as an existence. Living your life not on your teams success but on the continual hope of misery for another team. It blows your mind.
Their worst nightmare is about to happen. Now only did Rangers not die, we could be about to overtake them. Turns out wishing something was real doesn't make it real. We all learned that as kids, sadly it's yet to filter through for the man in his 20's who dresses like a paramilitary member.
Enjoy it lhads because it's coming. Might be this year, might be next but it'll be soon. And when it does it'll hit you like a freight train. That same freight train you can already see in the distance getting bigger.
Aye, see aboveDid ye aye, where?
Ya bassa.Aye, see above
I grew up with parents telling me to respect the law.A) Say they did know 20 minutes before final whistle, how differently are they reacting?
B) No and that’s a daft comparison, Rangers fans were obviously in no way to blame.
C) That’s also just not true, Glasgow cops in uniform are run ragged. Plus they can’t easily call out more to deal with something like that? Instantly happening, have to be trained / equipped plus the meagre budget they’re given by the SNP means they can’t afford it.
I dunno what banned march you’re on about but I’m guessing the police knew well about it in advance so they could plan their response?
I don’t know enough about their banners to comment but your response suggests I was right about your dislike for the police clouding your objectivity on the subject.
I grew up with parents telling me to respect the law.
I do not respect Police Scotland in matters sectarian in this day and age.
I believe they are ordered from above in natsi Scotland.
But I'll say again, if there's a set to between plod and the filth tomorrow I'll believe it when I see it.

Let's see how it plays out tomorrow.What you're suggesting would take a lot of collusion and non disclosure from your humble hi viz polis on the street.
You're being ridiculous.
What happens when matters reach fiscal and sherrif level then yes there are certain agendas at play.
Judean Front at LargeThere is a protest about the protest. They are protesting so much they are being labelled protestants.
Is he Labour or SNP?I don't know, mate. Both the local MP and MSP for the area had nothing to say on the riot.
This is why I love FF, everyday is a school dayGoing on Xeno's paradox. Can't lose 4 without losing 3. Can't lose 5 without losing 4.
Any dropped points would be fantastic.
Beatles and Paul carrack?Let's see how it plays out tomorrow.
You're already suggesting there might be certain agendas at play.
You and I both know there are.
Anyway, I'm still logged in but I'm off to Liverpool and Sheffield on the headphones (And no, it isn't the Searchers or Heaven 17)
Echo and the Bunnymen and Pulp?Let's see how it plays out tomorrow.

No Diff I guess
They wishThere is a protest about the protest. They are protesting so much they are being labelled protestants.
Apparently so.
The Police have warned against it and shall be in attendance.
What is it they are protesting? Never actually seen that explained.
The circled mutant isn't even the ugliest head in the picture, women included.
