    The Hibs board are just off the back of bringing in significant investment to try and improve all areas of the club so your first point is a bit daft. 

    If your fans weren’t, in a large majority, completely detestable bigots you’d not be getting your allocation cut. The current owner wanted to do it when your fans tried to ruin the tribute to his father by belting out that you were up to your knees in ****** blood, it appears Sunday was the last straw.

    We will take no lessons in morality from you slugs.

    I would say it's even more of an issue tbh.  They are actively singing about a terrorist organisation, glorifying them blowing up innocent civilians.   Is that not worse about chants about racist songs?  Maybe because it was the 70s, 80s, 90s, it doesn't as significant right now but it's the lowest of the low scum.  That and banners supporting terrorists in Israel too.  Flags of Hamas and ETA in their support.  They actively support terrorist organisations.  Sad as f**k and no place in modern day society let alone Scottish football. 

    IRA sympathising has become acceptable in Scottish society.

    See by no-one, do you mean everyone?

    Here are Kilmarnock's league placings since installing the 'magic' carpet in 2014:

    14/15 10th
    15/16 11th
    16/17 8th
    17/18 5th
    18/19 3rd
    19/20 8th
    20/21 11th (Relegated via the play off)
    21/22 1st Championship
    22/23 10th

    Admittedly, in the seasons we finished 5th and 3rd we did have the massively unfair advantage of having a fucking great manager. If you take those outliers out, it has been of no advantage at all.

    If Killie and Livi played on grass pitches there is no way they would have stayed up as long as possible. The ball doesn't roll naturally, making games a lot more of a lottery. Celtics terrible record at Livi certainly wasn't to do with Livingstons excellent technical and tactical ability.

    Anyone sticking up for plastic pitches need a hard look at themselves. Especially those fans whose teams don’t actually have a plastic pitch. Livi and Killie fans I can almost understand. The rest….come on….taking the Michael.

    Plastic pitches are good for training and only that. And if you play all year round in - 20 degrees. 

     

    Surely no one can deny it's given Killie and Livi an advantage over other teams? Imagine having to use a shite pitch to prevent the opposition rather than playing better yourselves.

    It's absolutely mental how many people (usually OF fans who don't even go to their own team's games) who want them banned because of the way the lights shine off them on TV.

    Scottish football could do with getting over itself and didtching the myth that "you never see a good game on artificial pitches" before it's too late.

    This isn't about plastic pitches - look at the number of clubs outwith the top flight that have them now. Some even rely on them to be able to keep the lights on. This is nothing but a move by the "big" clubs to protect their interests and put a barrier between the "wee" clubs and their opportunity to take their place eating at the trough.

    This vote passing would be as damaging and backwards a step as the 10,000 seater rule.

    You might see a good game now and again, but very very rarely a good quality one. There's a difference.

    Can't see us getting a result so if we give a good account of ourselves I'll be pleased. Will be 3/4-0 probably as we're just too weak defensively and even if Rangers change their team a bit our full backs will still get ripped apart.

    Never been to Ibrox before, where's best to park?

    I always park around Craigton Road. That'll walk you right up to the away end pretty much.

    Just watching Sportscene and noticed no Livi fans in the away corner.
    Is this a new initiative?

    I would have thought that the club deck would be full of premium season tickets. 

    I think when Club Deck was built they intended it for premium use and sold very expensive tickets. It is also considered a premium seat by UEFA as they put a lot of away corporate up there sometimes. A lot of people though don't like being that far from the pitch, or walking up a million stairs. Personally I love the view, it's my favourite in the stadium and it wasn't for family around me at games I would move back up there.

    Do other countries do this?

    Down south, whether it’s been a cup final, semi-final or a play-off, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wembley anything other than split down the middle. Even when there’s a diddy team involved.

    If Liverpool were playing Bournemouth then Liverpool would have more fans there.

    If Aberdeen want 50% they should start showing up for games. The crowd at that semi was absolutely pathetic.

    I never said I think it should just carry on, I was just explaining the reason why the SFA and/or SPFL can’t penalise clubs for fan behaviour.

    I think only 3 of the 42 member clubs indicated they would vote for strict liability the last time it was raised.

    There is simply too many idiots within all fanbases for clubs to take on the risk of punishment. The vast majority of St Mirren I know for example are brand new and some of the most placid fans around yet I’ve seen our players hit with objects there. I wouldn’t want to see the majority punished for the action of an idiot.

    They could still be charged with singing these songs under the laws which existed before the bill and still exist now.

    Yeah, more legislation doesn’t make it easier to police it. If anything songs have gotten worse now than they were when I first got my season ticket. 

    It’s pretty impossible to police that amount of people with any consistency.

    @bennettI agree that our atmosphere is better for the Rangers songs and the amount of new songs the last few years is something UB don’t get enough credit for.

    Rangers and celtic working together on this is needed, that way you minimise the calls of whataboutery and selectarianism. 

    Getting rid of the offensive behaviour bill was a mistake.

     

     

    The bill was hated by both sets of fans because many seen their mates being locked up or banned with very little evidence of anything. It was terrible legislation and didn’t solve any problems.

    Anyway, when the wee clubs fans sing FTP and FTK they can’t take the moral high ground.
