That's what S43/Singing Section/Whatever they're called nowadays did this afternoon. Someone at the club obviously put in the time to group their tickets together and they repay that effort with a flare and that banner.

Sort yourselves out.

I take it the banner was the one saying the pride of edinburgh? If so, what's wrong with that?

While this will probably be the end of the singing section, I personally have no problem with the banner. Freedom of speech surely. I have no problems with smoke bombs. Adds to the atmosphere.

There was another mid way through the 2nd half that was unfurled that said 'recognise this' and had another banner below it with a hand giving the middle finger on it.

No idea what it was all about tbh.

Yeah I saw it but didn't have a clue who it was aimed at, not sure who was meant to be recognising what!

What's wrong with the banner, it was obviously directed at the authorities regards camera (kop out waste of money) recognition that the SFA/SPFL want to implement, think it may cost £4m to put in place, what a waste of money.

How did the Ultras let the club down with that banner.

The young teenagers who let off the smoke bombs are of an age when rules and regulations are generally ignored in the pursuit of what they see as having a good time and creating atmosphere. As someone else noted, it will pass, so it's no biggie - the saints fans let some off too.

For a variety of reasons I am against anyone being searched unless there is reasonable grounds for suspecting that person may be involved in criminal behaviour. Today a G4S steward stopped my son who is 14 to search him. I refused to give him permission and asked for a police officer - I didn't reaslise that a cop was a few meters away.

I basically politely stated what I've already said here and the officer said we were free to enter the stadium without a search. The steward looked unhappy but off we went, no drama just a very firm but polite refusal.

Firstly.

We are the pride of this city. We were excellent as a team and fan base today, despite the mental rumours we were stealing stuff from kiosks and what not.

Second. The banner about recognise this was 100% not aimed at the club.

Third:

"Cause we've got McGinn.
Super John McGinn.
I just don't think you understand.
He's Alan stubbsys man, he's better than zidanne.

Before the "recognise this" banner appeared, there seemed to be some aggro in front of the singing section caused by stewards trying to remove the Pride of Edinburgh banner. A couple of guys held on to it and in the end the labdicks were called in to bring the tug of war to an end. I assume Queen Budge objected.

The voices raised towards the fine officers of the law occurred in the Gorgie end at HT. The drummer and the followers all started jumping up and down having a sing song and the boys in blue objected. Cue the same singers coming up with the previously unheard lyrics that all polis are illegitimate. There was no big queue for refreshments as there was nothing left to eat = steak pies gone, mince pies gone, hot dogs gone. Chocolate bars, crisps, any form of sugar or sustenance all gone. From a premium quality stadium that has sell out crowds every other week I found this staggering. These plebs make Dunfermline look professional FFS. I shudder to think what my outlook on life would be if I had to frequent that crumbling, dilapidated, obnoxious, puerile stinking cesspit of a dump every other week.

I don't see a problem with folk getting their bag searched, if you have nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem for you. problem is however, people who are trying to sneak in flares/missiles etc. are not going to be carrying them in in bags, they are going to be hiding them up jumpers etc.

If the stewards really did try to remove the 'pride of Edinburgh' banner the only reason has to be coz it was the Wongadome and if that's so then it shouldn't be used as a neutral venue if Hibs are involved.

IMO the game has become far to sanitised, give me drums and smokebombs any day of the week ... if I had my way they would be on sale in the club shop next to the fags.

Also a couple of folk dragged out by stewards and police throughout the game.

I think the second banner was spot on. Think there was a few SFA topdogs at the game so hope they noticed!

This is the whole point. When you consider the pitiful amounts they actually generate, it's ludicrous. The Ladbrokes deal is for £4m, and they intend to splash that whole amount on what will, imo, prove a costly failure

The Pride of Edinburgh banner was removed shortly after the smoke bomb incident. I think it was because the motley crew raised the banner up and "lit" the smoke bomb behind it so the stewards couldnt see who had done it.

Just as an observation the Saints had a anti SPFL banner at the top right of their stand and their "cheerleading section" also let off smoke bombs, a few infact.

Lets not beat ourselves up too much about it.

There are facial recognition cameras at my club in The Hague, they recently caught and barred 22 supporters for racial chants, it works, and if it was to be used in Scotland for the bigot brothers it would soon stamp out the bigot singing in our stadiums, as for the flares, I wish I knew how to upload a video from my mobile anyhoos, organised between the fans and club, practically half the stadium, had released green flares and other pyrotechnics before one of our games( actually happens quite regularly), not one complaint about asthma, not being able to breath etc, etc...good atmosphere, even though we lost.

Facial recognition is expensive as it is also used when entering the stadium and is linked to your clubcard, so you cant get in on someone elses card. I think it cost around 750,000-1 mill. Just for our stadium alone.(I could be wrong)

Letting off smoke bombs and throwing cups of hot tea at the referee/ our own player is not the way to make the point that facial recognition cameras are not needed.

I'm all for having a good time and I quite like an "edgy" atmosphere that is the right side of the line but having been at Ibrox at Christmas and having seen the clown throw the tea at the ref I'm struggling for reasons why facial recognition cameras shouldn't be brought in.

Football would be better for getting rid of the "unacceptable" stuff and the gruesome twosome from the West have a lot more to fear than us.
