Copenhagen player charged of Assault

[DH1875]

Thought that this was a wined up but seems your not allowed to win in Glasgow and celebrate lol. I've just seen the footage online and it's ridiculous (sorry can't post, on my phone). It's after their 2nd goal if your interested.

[Monts]

I haven't seen it again but I thought at the time there might be trouble as one of the coppers was pushed to the ground during the celebration

[PatHead]

Wonder if he will be subject to a football banning order?

[danhibees1875]

Seen it last night, reminded me of when Sproule scored in the 3-1 game in 2004/5 - police officer rugby tackles him for running to the fans.

I might be wrong but I think I don't think it will be the scorer being charged. It will be one of the players that followed that charged into one of the police officers who was trying to stop the scorer going into the crowd.

[Carheenlea]

Good angle on the “assault” here. Suppose you can’t really go barging over police officers without any consequence.

(Maybe one for the compliance officer to review. Policeman seemed to go to ground a bit too easily)

[easty]

They score a late goal and go to celebrate in front of thier own fans. If it wasn't for the glasgow police acting in the standard "glasgow police at the football" way then there wouldn't have been a problem.

If it'd been a Celtc player who scored the late winner, would the police have been so quick to try to stop them celebrating?

[bigwheel]

The real question should be , why is there an ultra aggressive approach by police and stewards towards players approaching fans at their away end ..

They don’t do the same for home players ..it is the most aggressive response anywhere in the league by some way .

The amount of police there is ridiculous. Look at the difference between the Copenhagen goal celebration and the Olympiakos winner at Arsenal last night.

Wonder how their investigations into the huns riots at Kilmarnock are going, 4 arrests only.

Another good comparison would be how friendly and relaxed the police were to us over in Copenhagen compared to the heavy handed, OTT response by Police Glasgow here.

[CloudSquall]

Given it's essentially Weegie Police he deserves a medal for doing what we'd all love to do after their "treatment" of Hibs (or any team from outwith Glasgow's) fans over the years.

[Captain Trips]

To be fair and i do not like to be but the Copenhagen fans look to be all over the shop there and pretty much just about on pitch. The whole area looks a mess. Total accident though and a nonsense if any charges brought.

[Rumble de Thump]

As soon as you saw the scorer beginning to celebrate it was clear from the reaction of the polis that they were Celtic fans who couldn't hack it.

[lucky]

Embarrassing for Scotland if the player actually ends up in court. The player accidentally runs into him. It’s time the police realised that going to a football match does not make you a criminal so there is no need for that level of police presence

[ABZHFC]

The state of how football fans (and even players, it seems) are treated by the police in this country. They’d better off unemployed, every last one of them. They do more harm than good for fan safety, simple as that

I don't know, I think it's a deliberate barge in the back because the cop had just manhandled his teammate a second before.

But as has been said, the way we get treated in Glasgow by the cops is well known, it's hard to have a massive amount of sympathy. I have to be honest and say I gave an internal cheer when I saw it :greengrin

[Captain Trips]

News just in from Chic Young "Every single Policeman/woman was assaulted I saw it with my own eyes honest"

[Gloucester Hibs]

It's Sproule in the 3-1 win all those years ago. The stewards and plods are basically just bitter Celtc fans who can't hack it when things don't go their way. Was at Celtic Park for our last win there in 2010 and the stewarding was unbelievably heavy-handed - guys being ejected for standing up when Hibs created a chance. About half our bus was thrown out. Went bananas when Galbraith scored the winner as figured they can't throw you out for celebrating a goal (and it was late on anyway!)

[ABZHFC]

Yep, and then the funniest part of all is when genuinely threatening ultras come to Glasgow intent on causing violence (I’m thinking Ajax, Lazio and Legia Warsaw in recent times), Police Scotland ***** it and don’t do a thing. Absolute cowards to a man, I would be ashamed if I had to go home and look my family in the eye and tell them that’s what I did for a living, harassing working-class fans to fill their forces’ coffers

[660]

Quite funny to see the loathsome policeman who tried to grab the scorer get emptied by the other player

What a lot of generalised rubbish to tar thousands due to the actions of a few. Think you should be ashamed of yourself for spouting this.

[ABZHFC]

I have family that are police.......and to be honest you can gtf. I dont care if you are a 'fellow hibs fan'. They have went through stuff you cant even imagine. So i reiterate.....you can gtf. As for ACAB......are you 12????

I’m talking specifically within the remits of policing football games, they are thugs with wee guy mentalities and the world would be a better place without them. I obviously respect those who have to deal with real crimes and help make our streets safer,

[green with envy]

Seen it last night, reminded me of when Sproule scored in the 3-1 game in 2004/5 - police officer rugby tackles him for running to the fans.

Not at all, and they’re allowed to get away with how they treat working-class football fans because of attitudes like yours, have been even since Hillsborough. It’s not just a few, it’s the mentality of their commanders, they are classist, they despise the ordinary football fan

It is, most certainly. But this attitude that “if you do nothing wrong the police will leave you alone” is a falsehood, some police officers actively want trouble at games - last night being a great example of that

Aye! That cop wanted to be shoved over - B*****D!

He didn’t want to be but he entirely deserved it for trying to manhandle a player who was celebrating a goal, whilst his fellow officers were arresting Copenhagen’s club stewards. That hopefully won’t go down well with UEFA and I would love to see Celtic and Police Scotland have the book thrown at them for it.

[hibsbollah]

Aye! That cop wanted to be shoved over - B*****D!

Using the acab hashtag isn't doing him any favours but I agree with him that there are a sizable number of them who are hankering after a bit of trouble and see the football as a free swing. The way I get treated as an away fan is totally different to the way the police interact with me in other areas of life. And it's time it stopped.

Yep, and I accept using that term was reactionary and silly so I will edit it out of my original post. But like you say, having been treated quite badly by police officers at grounds over the years simply for the crime of being a football supporter (when I get treated like an ordinary citizen outwith stadiums), I do harbour a sense of mistrust and dare I say anger towards the tactics of Police Scotland

Apart from one incident at Ibrox 35+ years ago I can honestly say that I've never had any real bother with the police at football matches - I don't know, maybe it's down to my size and (unintentionally) less than friendly demeanor. :dunno:

That's doesn't mean I haven't seen policemen behaving like dicks (far, far fewer than fans doing the same) - just nothing to get upset about.

Embarrassing if true.

One of them if the shoe was on the other foot then no doubt the police would have allowed the Celtic players to celebrate with their fans. Also with the huge police presence next to the Copenhagen fans, you would have expected their whole support were a bunch of criminals judging by that huge police presence in that corner

The BBC report said it was the goal scorer who has been charged, but the player who knocked the police officer over was not the scorer? Perhaps something else happened and it was not the incident highlighted in the clip?

Edit - Santos scored the 1st goal, he was a 'goal scorer' just not the goal in question.

A total embarrassment - and that copper should be feeling a bit sheepish. What on earth is wrong with celebrating with your own fans - what harm can it come to other than winding up the opposition (so what). Glasgow Police need to have a word with themselves!!

If you think Glasgow police are bad, look at Merseyside police. A couple of years back the Liverpool faithful fire bombed the Man City coach in some cases from the top of a police vehicle yet the plod saw nothing and made no arrests.

It is what to expect in such places.

[Rumble de Thump]

None of the police or stewards should have been manhandling the players. They created a problem and should be apologising to the players. It was a very weied situation for them to create.

[Chorley Hibee]

For an example of over zealous policing/stewarding, then you only need look at the amount of them surrounding a few kids from Inverness singing and making a racket tonight.

It's always the same at Parkhead. The police do not prevent players running into the fans at any other ground in Scotland just Parkhead and the number of senior police in that group last night was nuts.

Compare the Parkhead police reaction to the Arsenal Olympiakos game the same night Olympiakos scored late on and the whole team ran into the crown not a policeman\steward in sight

Completely over the top and having a line of stewards up an aisle within their support (and a pretty decent one for them it was too) was baffling.

It wouldn`t be so bad if the robust policy was replicated for every club, but it appears to be decided on a club to club basis. When the Old Firm come calling it`s the softly softly approach and if the fans stay within the stand they can behave pretty much in any manner they wish and display banners over advertisers who have paid big money for hoardings and cover the scoreboard. a different rule book of what`s not permitted is pulled out for the other clubs.

Last night`s show of force from police and stewards was simply pathetic.

Ferguson was already on probation, or whatever it's called, for an assault in a taxi rank in Stirling. He was a complete bam and the best thing he ever did was leave Scotland. There was a Hamilton player back in the day, Pelosi, I think who was a dirty *******. I think he was taken to court for ending someone's career with a horror tackle which was his usual.

He definitely barges the guy 😂. Having said that why is there so many stewards and police there. Looked like a scene from 1980s miners strike.

[TheReg!]

Police and Stewards are there to do a job. We’ve all seen the clips when players run to the fans, they surge towards the player and the safety barriers collapse risking potential injury or even worse. The player was bang out of order smashing the Police guy in the back and has rightly so been pulled for it.

I play walking football with 3 ex coppers. One is a weegie and a match attending Celtic fan off and on, one is from Edinburgh and a Jambo and one is an absolutely mental Hibby who goes to every home game and on top of that an absolutely brilliant guy. Some of the stuff being said about the cops on here is bloody ridiculous.

That wasn’t what happened here and the fans will still run towards the front and to the player. Whether there are some day glo wearing overzealous fuds trying to prevent this changes little.
