The club definitely needs to clarify the position and also WHO made the decision not to let the flag in I was just passing the bowling club when I saw a group of about 20 young guys with the flag. They were being asked to unfurl it,I thought so they could check what was on it not any offensive/political/religious Once the boys unfurled it the steward pointed to his ear and was saying it was to big “I’ve been told it’s to big” this was a steward not the police so someone within the hierarchy of the club made that decision WHO ?? think we have a right to know Now the flag was big but no where near as big as what has been unfurled within Ibrox or Parkhead in recent weeks so unless they have different health and safety laws than the rest of us don’t see what the problem was. When told this one of the young boys said Ah feck off we’ve already cleared it with the club The police sergeant took offence to this and along with two PCs grabbed the young boy and pinned him against the wall of the East Stand with the sergeant right in the boys face (trying to provoke a reaction from the boy) totally OTT from the police IMO I asked a young WPC what the young boy had done and the next minute I’ve got two PCs in my face asking what my problem is . Our fan base is not that great that we can alienate the young boys who back the team to the hilt and being a bit of passion and colour to the bottom end of the east stand Was it just me but from where I sit in the POD it looked as if some of the boys walked out after about 10 to 15 minutes into the game. The club really need to tell us if the boys had permission to bring the flag in and if they did WHO made the decision to change it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Burrows had been put in a position which he couldn’t overturn due others which he explained to those involved. The SIWY fanzine statement alludes to who made the decision. I’d surmise Officer Dibble had an input also given their handling of non-events prior to the match. With our safety officer being an ex-employee, it’s not conducive to popular fan/club relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and will be picking up a nice pension wedge after early retirement, jobs for the boys, why do football clubs go down this root If his attitude is anything like that of the officers outside the east stand no wonder we don’t have a good fan relationship Lets see how many banners, size of them and what’s on them turn up in the South Stand on Sunday Also heard some of the Bois debating wether to boycott home games and just go to away games if so the club needs to sort this debacle out and fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just to change the subject a bit. It can't be overstated just how bad that offside decision is. In the circumstances, I reckon you'll struggle to see worse at any level of professional football this season. I wonder if Robbo got an immediate apology from the officials or if that's just reserved for Gerrard and marginal decisions against Rangers?

Toxteth O'Grady Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50713338 Yup, absolutely laughable decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thankfully the offside decision didn't prove costly on this occasion, but if you think back to the Ross County game Declan Gallagher's goal was wrongly chopped off, that's two goals under the same referee wrongly chalked off. In fairness to him his assistant didn't help him at all, he couldn't be in a better position to judge any potential offside call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Regarding the banner if club had approved it then there needs to be an explanation why it wasn't allowed in. Also what was the score in the stairs once in east stand?. Was large group standing and making it difficult for their fellow well fans to get up the stairs. Jeezo we are all there to support the mighty well. Altogether now...COMMMMEEEE ONNNNNNN YEEEEEE WELLLLLLLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Maybe the banner not been allowed in was something to do with the pyro they had as they also didn’t let the Dutch boys in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleeastdave Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Nobody has mentioned that there was only about 900 Hearts fans turned up on Saturday which is approximately 5% of their supporters that go to every home game, we had approximately 750 fans at Paisley on the Wednesday night which is 20% of our supporters, so much for the Hearts who claim to be the third biggest support in Scotland!! i think even St Mirren would have brought more to Fir Park than Hearts.

Smallest Hearts support I’ve seen at Motherwell but it was a poor gate overall given how well we are doing this season. Poor weather, Christmas shopping maybe having a factor.

GazzyB Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don't blame them tbh; it's clear for all to see the Hearts players/interim manager couldn't give any less of a fuck if they tried. Also the whole Levein saga and the amount of money they've spent and how shite they are. They are an absolute shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say it every year, but it's absolutely mental the amount of games that get rammed into December for sake of a fortnight off in Jan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less of the mate too. You’re making things up now. For the record, there is no flares (of the pyrotechnic variety) in that photograph & that event was in an area of Motherwell far away from the ground & long after the match had finished. Club official approved the banner in advance & it was created on the Thursday prior to the match. Information is same employee refused its entry upon arrival at ground. It’s now for both parties to find a common ground... easier said than done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
