[Keith_M]

"Police in Edinburgh are reminding Hearts and Hibs fans that a policing operation will be in place at this weekend’s derby match to identify anyone in possession of alcohol, fireworks or flares."

"In addition, police will be assisting stewards to carry out searches outside the ground to prevent illegal or prohibited items being smuggled in. A specially trained police dog will be deployed to detect explosive or combustible materials."

Seem to have heard this one several times before and it hasn't stopped the smoke bombs and the like :rolleyes:

They really need to get more of these dugs.

......thank God it's not the1970's, everyone would be arrested.:greengrin

[Stranraer]

Didn't bother them much the fact that everyone was drinking ootside the Roseburn last time round.

Is it? Under what law would taking a video in a public place be illegal? I love videoing the polis, cause they hate it :wink: My sister was married to a weegie polis, I used to sit in their front room videoing him, he'd get really annoyed, I just told him its payback for all the cr@p from visiting darkheid and hunbox, he is a the rangers fan too, so that made it all the more fun, for me. (I know, I am juvenile)

I was being sarcastic.

What I should have said is, it will bring undue attention to the individual filming and the **** bag power hungry cops will look for any excuse to arrest you and cost you money in legal fees, a phone contract, a season ticket and have to take days of work for court apperences.

Can you tell I have some experience with this ha.

Oh and once you've been wrongfully arrested don't expect any help from the club you have supported and put money into for most of your life.

Why would the club help you with this? Surely that is what lawyers are for?

[snooky]

The same police who stood by and casually looked on as the Soapdodging fans set off two flares at the ER/London Road junction last season.
This was after a warning of zero tolerance in the media the day before.
:ostrich: :yawn:

[Alfred E Newman]

What will the stance be against the Hearts fans that run on to the park . No action as usual I would imagine.

[NOLA]

are inflatable bananas ok to bring along? just found my old one up the attic :greengrin

Paul Daniels must be assisting if they've only got one dog.

Most of them run on the park to celebrate them scoring a goal.

One way to stop that.

Sniper?

[Sir David Gray]

Sniper?

I was thinking more along the lines of stopping them scoring in the first place but should they actually score on Sunday and any of them attempt to invade the pitch to celebrate, I'm more than happy with this solution.

In fact even if they don't attempt to invade the pitch, that sounds like a good idea.

I like it. :aok:

The dog will get confused with all the green it see's. :wink:

[silverhibee]

Come to think of it they keep saying these sniffer dogs will be there but i really can't remember of ever seeing one sniffing at derbies.

The young team will stink of hugo boss tomorrow.

You could be the first guy in history to break a sniffer dog!

It's not just Hibs. I've been wrongfully arrested a few times and M&S won't lift a finger even although I spend a ****ing fortune on their food.

[DC_Hibs]

I'm planning on going absolutely f***** mental tomorrow, safe in the knowledge that Hibs.net (choirboys collective) will pay the subsequent fines as normal.

They're nearly as boring and tiresome as your incessant posting.

[Pretty Boy]

Talking about Police.

Why did I get held behind a big metal barrier for the best part of 40 minutes post game stopping me heading towards home? I was told to take a 15/20 minute detour as they had to let Hearts fans out.

We get held in at Ibrox, held in at Celtic Park, held in at Pittodrie, there's a big barrier stopping us going towards the home support at Tynecastle yet they get treated like royalty at ER. **** them. After waiting for ages and the Police being questioned he said we were being held longer because the Hearts fans were 'letting off rockets and flares'. My reply of 'well going arrest them and do your job rather than herding us like cattle' didn't go down to well.

You have made a very valid point and this should be looked into! it really annoys me too that i have to walk away down the road to get a bus home against clubs like this!

When as you say we are kept behind at all the big grounds away from home!

The cup game at Ibrox at the beginning of the season was a great example to look at too! After having to play another of 30mins of extra time they kept the Hibs support locked in the ground for a further 40mins and deprived us the use of toilet facilities.

As well as this it means that the Edinburgh bound motorway section is backed up from the M8 entry roads to Ibrox and all the Hibs support have to wait another 30mins to get on the motorway to Edinburgh.

The time we get back to Edinburgh its nearly midnight and if anyone is to catch a last bus home its gone!!!

N.B. There must have been some incident in Princes Street after the game as there were 5 policemen coming of a no 16 bus after what seemed like a search had taken place?

Hold back the away support at Easter Road and give us a chance to get on our buses home away from the ****!"!

There was no incident they just got a bus back to the West End, they had a laugh with a few folk.

[garys]

I would just like to "thank" the twats setting off the smoke bomb at the end of the game! Thanks to them the wheelchair fans in the upper section of the west stand were left stranded for a substantial amount of time as the lift was automatically shut down when the alarms go off!! NAE NEED!!

[bobbyhibs1983]

The police got on the bus after a group of guys,(i dunno if they were footie fans they had no colours at all) just after the round about just above leith walk(i think)
I did notice they didn't pay though!!:greengrin

[Keith_M]

I wonder if the Police, after issuing a warning before the game about the behaviour of fans, will let us know how many Hearts fans they arrested for sectarian singing.

Sorry Pretty Boy but better that than fighting/assaults and injuries. No one made you wait 40 mins, there was an alternative, albeit an inconvenient one, that you could have used.
It is annoying but better annoyed than being in A&E in my opinion

I was there too got on to get a lift back to the West End nothing more sinister.

[Scouse Hibee]

I asked cops about this last season, response was thst the away crowd for Hearts, Rangers and Celtic is too big to hold back in the ground.

[Hermit Crab]

The sniffer dog needs its P45 after failing to detect the smoke bombs in the away end.

I've no issue with fans being held back, I understand why. Should have been them though.

It's a smaller number, easier area to contain and those living locally are likely to clear the area quicker. We get held back almost everywhere we go when there is a risk of trouble so can't see why it's different at ER.

[Pretty Boy]

5500 of us were held back after the 0-3 Scottish Cup game at Ibrox a few years ago.

I do think it's them rather than us who get held back.

On a more positive note, security/police related, when they scored and their standard muppets tried to run over to us, the security/police were on them right away, for a change.

Noticed that as well, police and stewards had quite a task on the bottom corner of the stand beside the west stand when they scored.
