Was it a tactical decision to have virtually no police so maximum opportunity for trouble could result in a crackdown?

Also in the old days the old firm often got behind both goals at dens while we got the Derry, stand and enclosure. How on earth was that ok?
H, the problem yesterday could have been avoided if the Police had kept and eye on the 12-15 Motherwell lads who left the ground at H/T.

Thats all they had to do, but they left them to their own devices resulting in the nonsense which we saw at the corner of the Provie/Sandeman Street.

As you rightly ponited out in another thread those 12 - 15 lads were looking for bother all day we both witnessed them in the Main stand paying more attention to the Dees in the Shankly rather than what was happening on the park.

Police took their eye of the ball today,no doubt about it. I wonder how this will impact on crowd control/seating arrangements for the remainder of the season?

It was a cracking atmosphere today with Dees in both ends of the Stadium , i suspect this arrangement will now be scrapped. I hope not and if it is it will be basically because the Police could not correctly deal with 12-15 lads from the visiting support.
