The banger on Tuesday

[FromTheCapital]

Now, I'm a 27 year-old man and I'm all for atmosphere at the games (drums etc) but that banger genuinely scared the **** out of me.
I jumped about 40 feet in the air and I was near the front of the East!
Drums are all good at the football, I love the singing, the smoke bombs don't bother me but I can definitely see why others don't like them but that banger was utterly pointless.
I'm sure there would've been older folk and children who could've got quite a scare.
Thankfully, I don't think anyone was hurt but it's still just a really, really daft thing to do.
Keep it away from ER please :aok

I jumped and I'm in the West.

It was stupid and could have been heart attack material for a few people close by.

Agreed. No place for it on the terraces.
Sadly it'll take a serious injury before something is done to stop it.

Agree with the OP also. Drums, singing, shouting, etc is all that's needed to show support.

Aye was a bit too far like. Shat myself after the 1st.

banger? Thought you were talking about the guy who hits the drum for a moment.

[FranckSuzy]

It was the same at the The Rangers game. I honestly thought it was someone letting off a gun to begin with!

[iwasthere1972]

Can't say I even noticed. When was it?

Immediately after the 2nd goal I think mate. Was extremely loud.

[21.05.2016]

Don't see the point in them at all. One big loud bang - wtf is the point?

I was in the West and got a fright so god knows what it must have been like for the folk actually near it. Last season at Livingston someone set one off in the hibs support and some pure wee laddie who was standing next to it had to be carried out, he looked very very distressed. Later turned out he had burst his ear drum.

Utterly pointless and can be dangerous - keep them away from the ground.

Cheers. I just thought it was all the folk in the west stand opening their champagne at the same time.

[hibsdaft]

anyone know where it came from?

Top of the east stand, there was a bit of arguing and people were pointing out who done it but I don't think anyone got removed.

[CB_NO3]

Was a couple of wee guys at the back of the East. They looked about 13. It landed right next to me and it burnt a hole in a womans show, I kid you not. I thought my ear drum was burst. It was lucky it hit the woman on the trainer and not in the eye. There was older guys pointing to the stewards who it was that threw it. Apparently it was caught on cctv.

[SonOfTortolano]

Yeah it landed right in front of me in Row W Seat 185.

It burnt the woman's trainer nearly right through, then it exploded and nearly broke our ear drums. Absolutely idiots...if it landed in someone's hoodie or jacket it would have done some damage.

Definitely the young team at the top...woman was a bit shaken up and her husband was going mental

Going mental! quite right too. It was a stupid and senseless thing to do in a crowd of people and the idiots responsible should be banned from football for life or at least a long time! i sit in the west and got the fright of my life i thought a gun had gone off. It was so loud!

I hope the lady with the burnt shoe is ok and it wont put her off going to the games. When she finds out who was responsible she should claim a pair of new trainers from their families!!

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

So ****ing stupid

[cabbageandribs1875]

i imagine at least one of the imbeciles mates will notice this thread, so here's a message to pass on to the freakin imbecile


grow up ya wee dafty and try using yer half a dozen brain cells, it's not big and it certainly aint smart...clown

[DAVE1875]

Was listening on Hibs TV and nearly shat myself. Right ear was ringing for a few seconds as well

You guys must be right beside me. I was with my mate at the end of the row (w190/191) and shat myself. Are one of you the guys who took the photo of the woman's trainer?

Absolute imbeciles. So lucky that it got her shoe. As you say it could easily have done some major damage if it landed in someone's hoody or went off right at their face.

That at went off in the Rangers end in the section that is closest to the east. Now whether that was thrown from the east into the rangers fans I'm not sure but they are pointless things that can hurt people.

[Bobby's Cinema]

A daft wee boy in the row infront of us threw it, around 12yo. It wasn't just dropped down there either it was launched into the crowd like you would a snowball. He was down getting himself into more trouble at HT. The stewards knew who it was they were deciding what to do next. I don't think he was clever enough to realise what he'd done

[overdrive]

Stupid thing to do especially after what happened in Paris.

Come on now

[linlithgowhibbie]

I sit in row S in Section 43 and my heart jumped like never before!

One of the problems with having police free games is that stewards genuinely don't know how to deal with this.
Do they try to get the wee guy out and risk his pals fighting with them?

Will the CCTV have good enough pictures to ID him? IF it was on that area at the time.

Hope the wee guy gets shown pictures of the horrific injuries that fireworks can do as part of his punishment IF he is found.

[hibee_girl]

We sit in section 41 and it sounded like it was right next to us, what a fright!

Could have caused some serious injuries, hope the culprit is identified

I under stand what they mean. It could have caused a great amount of panic.

Utterly stupid thing to do.

It sounded quite similar to the TV pictures of that game in Paris from where I was sitting.
