Does this merit the jail ??

[BertrandRussell]

The laddies should be given a pat on the back and a free ticket to the next match for trying to create some atmosphere.

Folk that moan about flares and smoke bombs should be out shopping with their missus instead of going to the fitba.

its laughable tbh, but serious as well...not sure if a fire could start from a flare in a pub, sounds like a deterent to try to curb the fashion...who has money these days to spend on flares onywij? are flares no meant to be used wi SOS on a sinking boat or summit

and while we are on the subject...spray painting graffiti...wtf is that all aboot? okay if yer an artist wi talent..but daubin pent aroond yer scheme disnae improve the areas...jail them ana...or ban spray paint to garages :/ :/ :/ :/ :/

fighting should be allowed between supporters on the pitch efter the geme say 20 a side in shorts and boxing gloves wi the polis as refs, nae gouging or biting (suarez types no allowed) winners huv tae buy a peh and a pint tae the winners

fireworks should be banned except for displays by the cooncil...:/ :/ :/ :/ noisy wee tykes

No it doesn't deserve the jail but pyro is the current bete noir of the football and police authorities.

That along with the fact that football fans are generally dealt with more harshly for the same offence anyway (have a fight outside a pub you get a slap on the wrist, have a fight outside a football ground, it's off to Saughton for you) is a joke.

They are being made an example of but I'd like to question why the fans of other clubs (Motherwell, Rangers, Celtic) are not being given the same sentencing. Surely the law should treat all cases the same.

You could even argue that the damage to the Falkirk pitch made that offence worse.
