Couldn't agree more, especially in a ground like Livingston's where you're going to have at least a couple of thousand seats free. Why not just make two or three blocks behind the goal unreserved and designated for standing? It seems to me like Police Scotland (and sadly, to a lesser extent, Dempster) will not rest until Hibs fans are sat down and politely applauding goals. Any presence of standing, a drum or generally 'boisterous' support attracts police and cameras, and all clubs in the SPFL need to be doing more in telling the police to, quite frankly, bolt. They cause more trouble in grounds than they prevent.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

What was happening that attracted the police to appear in front of the section in the corner?! Saw some boy get ejected near the end for bizzarely walking into the pitch to get the ball - he was always getting bombed out for that!

Here's some evidence of what Scotland's finest were up to on Saturday :

Until boards both at a club level and in the SPFL start speaking out against this, Police Scotland will continue to do as they please. They need to have their power curbed, and without wanting to bring politics into this, the SNP have a real blindspot on this particular issue.
ETA: If you want countless other examples of fans across the country being harrassed by Police Scotland, I recommend checking out the @FAC KilltheBill Twitter account. St Mirren fans being visited at their homes by police without prior notice last week.Last edited by HibeeHibernian4; 03-09-2018 at 11:47 AM.

But seriously, some fans need to take a long look at themselves.... yes we are passionate, and yes we have a shocker, but some of the reactions had by some of the fans around me and while leaving was OTT! A few shouts of Lennon out from one guy.....Last edited by BlackSheep; 03-09-2018 at 11:53 AM.

Given that they were filming from where the singing section were standing, I'd take it that they follow Hibs pretty much week in, week out, and therefore maybe know a great thing more about Police Scotland's approach than you seem to.

They maybe do go to football every week, but if they decide to make their "cause" public, I think they have to expect criticism of their motives by other fans.

I think they're looking in the wrong place, though. Apart from the Celtc Fan, the guys mentioned don't seem to have any link to organised violence.
I'm not in favour of filming groups of fans that are doing nothing but singing at games either. I think that's counter productive as, in the case of the guys in the FF upper at least, the police are doing nothing but pissing them off.

Are they using such exhaustive procedures whilst Rangers fans carry on with their rampant displays of sectarianism most weekends?
Of course they're not - it's much easier to earn a crust on less visible issues and largely innocent people attending a football match instead.

I await the mass arrests post match at Ibrox with interest.
