I assume they would’ve been seated in the main stand when this happened so that begs the question as to what the security/stewards did about it? It’s more likely than not that the perpetrators are season ticket holders so it should’ve been a simple matter of having them escorted them from their seats, taking their details and then have the club write to them with letters of rebuke with a warning as to their future conduct. I think you're confusing our stewards with competent professionals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair speaking as someone who used to steward it can be a very tough job and there often aren't enough stewards to see all that's going on. When Spittal was abused last season the fan was escorted from the ground but no ones details were taken by the stewards. The fan was just ejected Most stewards aren't club employees either - it's not an easy job and it's not well paid either in a lot of cases.

It's irrelevant how much you are being paid if you are employed to look after the saftey of the paying public you should do your job what ever that remit is. From what I've seen the stewards at Fir park are not interested they don't give a shit and I would hate to see how they respond if a genuine emergency occurred.

You are talking about responding to a hypothetical situation, I.e ketts taking abuse , so can't really say how they should or should have responded. Also you would need to see the job description for stewards to see what is expected...I wouldn't fancy herding numbnuts like green brigade about.

I would think a fairly basic component of their job description would be to ensure every fan was in their allocated seat, stairways and exits not blocked etc all the stuff they seem to forget when the green uglies are in town. These are basic saftey issues which Motherwell would be held liable for in the event of an incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to the celtic games so can't comment but I wouldn't want to be telling them to sit down etc for minimum wage...don't think it's the stewards at fault , its more cost cutting and having less police at games who have far greater powers....even the police struggle with every move being filmed by some clowns.

He quoted our games won , terrible posetion stats just in general everything he said last week after st j except he had time to tidy it up also said SK was basically not doing himself any favours by ranting at refs etc then mentioned bout him getting on the wrong side of the fans also said he spent 19 years of his adult life at FP and had his fair share of “abuse / slaggings “ but said no worse than at any other club also put the bit in about our family run club Just all general stuff but stressing that it wasnt even a minority it was a cluster ( or other words to that effect ) of fans with abuse it was a good 3/4 minutes worth probs get it on bbc whatever it is 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted Monday at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:15 PM McFadden and Aidan mcgeady of all people spoke sense about the situation on sky. Mcgeady in fact suggested Kettlewell could have got out before he was pushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
