What a rocket (fan banned for firework)

[Ship Hibs]

Silly laddie, sure he'll have learned his lesson now http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/hibs-fan-banned-from-matches-for-18-months-1-3330126

[3pm]

My initial thought to getting barred for 18 months is 'lucky *******'. :faf:

[mca]

" The court was told that although he was not seen setting off the device, he was caught with it by police because he was seen “fidgeting” within the crowd. " :whistle:

[silverhibee]

Really. :shocked:

[Chuck Rhoades]

And the racist fan who racially abused Jordan Tapping only got a 12 month ban... :rolleyes:

Ridiculous.

Think the point is that a rocket has the potential to cause a lot more physical harm than words.

It was a fire-cracker not a rocket. :greengrin

I was talking about the rocket that had the firecracker. :greengrin

Edit?

Yes. Another male was banned on the back of the racist remarks towards Tapping today to answer you previous question.

And it wasn't a rocket, it was a smoke bomb. Bit different no?

I have no idea. I read it as a firecracker... eventually. :greengrin

However... the point I was making stands. Whether it's a rocket/firecracker/smokebomb/Catherine wheel.... the Court's view seems to be that it is a greater threat to public safety than some moron shouting "F*** you, you black c***".

Probably mine too, TBH.

I believe they are petards CWG - that's what the Hibs yoof call them.

And are they hoist "with" or "by" them? :greengrin

[Tinribs]

Plus 210 hrs of unpaid community service. Seems a bit much for a young chap who will be earning very little anyway in the current climate.
If he had a firework/firecracker (Whats the ******g difference?), then fine and ban for a year..no need to repay the community, that idea was set up to basically repay damage done within ones own local when you had robbed your neighbours. He did not do that.

I can never tell mate, there's always too much smoke fae the smoke bombs for me to see 😀

Yer Spot on... it will soon be as Bad as Smoking in cars... :aok: - picking up litter for smoking in your works van.. :agree: etc

Aye mate, boils my urine to be honest.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

Good old .net cops!

[Bishop Hibee]

210 hours is ridiculous. I know someone who was dealing drugs from a house next to a primary school who got not much more than that. The reporting is deliberately clouding (ahem) the issue as a smoke bomb is nowhere near as dangerous as a firework.

Football fans are an easy target for the authorities to look as if they are enforcing law and order :rolleyes:

Not so sure about Net.Cops.. - The real cops only caught him fidgeting !! :agree:

We Don't even know - what he Really actually "Had" in his Hand. :faf:

I like the Clouding analogy thingy, but this poor chap seems to be getting the CCS Hibs hard sentence deal. And he ain't CCS.

Alexis Korner.... now HE was CCS.

[silverhibee]

And yet they set fireworks of at Hampden before international games, how is that allowed. :confused:

Banned from football for 18 months and 210 hours of community work for having a fire-cracker inside a football ground. :crazy:

[SouthamptonHibs]

A tad harsh on the lad!
18month ban from football, might not be to bad Hibs might be decent when he is allowed back!
Hail Hail

[Tinribs]

Alexis Korner.... now HE was CCS.

He is a slightly abstract, but interesting guy. The Capital City Service lost a good, high brained recruit with that dude.

Collective Consciousness Society. For any of our more out-there members to peruse.

is it one punishment for all sizes.. or do the Courts see fit to dish out Lengthier ones.. :greengrin

[macca70]

He clearly knew he was in the wrong by taking it into the game.

They are banned from all football grounds.

Pre-meditated, clearly knew he was breaking the law. Deserved all the punishment he got.

All for him and the pretend Ultra's to get there cheap thrills over a minute of Green Smoke.

[DC_Hibs]

So he didn't actually set it off but he was in possession of it.
I reckon if he'd said he intended to set it off on the train on the way hame it would have been a lesser punishment as it wasn't "fitba related".

Current day football is boring as f and we need as many bams as possible to liven up proceedings so this bammer will be sorely missed over the next 18 months.

Maybe we should fund some exchange visits to other stadia in other countries so he can keep his hand in and lessen the risk of him losing interest....or bampotness.

[frazeHFC]

The accused was seen looking shifty and suspicious and moved an item about, so he was spoken to. He was fidgeting. He was told he would be searched for possession of a firearm.

A firearm? Thought it was Perth not Beirut!

[HibbyKeith]

You get a lesser sentence for kicking a police officer.

Lad knew what he was doing so no sympathy.

[Pretty Boy]

Seems a bit of a harsh sentence.

However if he had the same things as others were setting off that day then it wasn't 'just a smoke bomb'. I was at Perth that day and the whole game there was a bunch of dafties setting off things that made a banging noise. Not sure what they are but they were really ****ing annoying.

[Mikey]

Even LincolnJambo got a lighter sentence.....

Mental that sexually assualting a female in a football stadium (Groundsman at Tannadice) gets a lesser punishment than someone carrying a smokebomb. Likewise the Peterhead hun who racially abused that young lad. The inconsistency with football related crimes is a farce. Didn't an Aberdeen fan at an away game only get 6 month banning order for carrying 'pyro'?

And whoever said that carrying a daft smoke bomb is worse than racially abusing a kid playing football, stop talking pish.

I think the inconsistency in sentencing goes way beyond football.

The point I made is that the Court obviously see a smoke bomb as potentially more dangerous to public safety than a moron with a character deficiency.

And I reserve the right to talk pish if I want.

Werder Bremen have just announced that they intend to ban their fan choreography, large flags being brought into the stadium and may even have to raise ticket prices to cover the fines they receive from the authorities when their fans set off pyrotechnics in the stadium. More clubs expected to follow suit.

cheers mate :aok:

[green&left]

Can't see it happening. Cherographies, pyro technics, passionate support, its engrained in their culture and identity. I think they'll reach some sort of compromise such as only doing it before matches, not throwing any on the field of play etc.

It's already happening bud.

Just had a browse through their fan forum and it would seem that it's having an effect already. A lot of fans turning on each other and the general consensus seems to be that the pyro needs to stop.

I agree!

There is plenty advertising letting everyone know that any incendiary device carried or used anywhere near a football stadium is an offence!

This person deserves to be shown how serious an offence this is. it doesnt make any difference whether its a firecracker, flare or whatever. if let off in a crowded area it causes fear and confusion and people panic and start shoving and trying to get away from the smoke and sparks. Trampling people underfoot and causing alarm.

I just hope he wont be caught up in something like that should he ever get back inside a football ground1

Hence there is no need for them at a football match!

[marinello59]

Those firecracker things at Perth that day were mental, nearly gave me a heart attack.
Banning him from going to the fitba is a kindness. I would just have sentenced him to several random firecracker attacks. (Letting one off in his bedroom first thing in the morning etc.)

And make him sit through re-runs of the Raith, Malmo and United games on a permanent loop.
