Spying on football fans

[KIWIRED]

Could not agree more.
I respect the average bobby on the beat its not an easy job
But I do agree Grampians finest do tend to make an arse of things with their over zealous attitude towards a Dons fans in general and small away supports in the South Stand.
Sometimes it seems their on a mission to be confrontational.
However, the match commanders tend to turn a blind eye at all the sectarian singing from the Glasgow hordes each visit.
It seems the laws of land are not adhered to a least four or five times a season it all becomes to difficult

I once got pulled up for singing a “sectarian song” at an OldCo game.
The song was The Flower Of Scotland.
I laughed in the coppers face and made it known in no uncertain terms that he didn’t have a clue.

His supervisor came over (I think with a mind to eject me) and when I explained it to him, the clueless copper was swapped out with another.

I once was told that they didn’t want to eject OldCo fans as they would then be left to roam the streets causing damage and that it was easier to keep them contained in the ground.
This just means that the know they can get away with almost anything and get away with it.

I always thought the idea of the guy getting sent out with his little camcorder when some of the more controversial songs started getting sung was so they could catch them on film, identify them later then go knocking on their door at 5am.

For what it is worth I couldn't give a damn what other sets of fans sing at matches and to be honest I don't like the tit-for-tat fake outrage that seems to follow the game about these days. Saying that though, if the plod do insist on using all these tactics they should at least be following it up with a few arrests.
