Farid can't run the length of himself. He's been good but the lack of any kind of quality in the final third can't be ignored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I agree that it seems silly that they're not allowing fans to buy tickets in the club shop and give them the details when you buy. Can't see any good reason why they can't make this happen - especially with the additional £1 charge online. But still, boycotting because a website isn't working for 1 day?

We're certainly falling down the leagues at an impressive rate! Any decent loan players we could borrow? Somebody who can play left back preferably.Had heard a rumour we almost had Talbot on loan after his injury but he's been doing well since getting back - our loss!Thanks for asking anyway ya dick [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 When you order the tickets can you pick them up from the club or do you need to post? It does seem like extra hassle and expense for something that's already overpriced and that a few idiots ruined it for everyone. No real problem in the grand scheme of things but it is excluding some and making it difficult. Surely season ticket holders or centenary club members should be able to buy tickets directly from the shop? The club already has their address. Perhaps the SFA can setup a known good fans website or membership scheme that you register for once you give a club your address? It's all too easy for them and the police to roll out a punishement to everyone though rather than deal with issues like sectarianism or a few idiots causing bother. It will drive down crowds for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hopefully this won't last long the first game involving both Celtic and Rangers where sectarian singing is widespread the police are hardly going to ban every address from buying tickets in the future meaning the whole thing is pointless and is canned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingapar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 On the day sales are allowed so may as well make before the day tickets as tough to buy as possible. The idea of " all ticket" matches will then become a running joke similar to the fife derby u turn to allowing on the day sales. If this causes issues, they'll really have to revisit the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 In the last few decades, the worst behaviour I have seen from Pars fans at games include such atrocities as... A cup of tea was thrown A linesman was skelped with a pie Some boys celebrated near the corner flag when we scored two magnificent goals against a team from two leagues above last season A streaker gave himself some carpet burns A bear in a tank offended some people I also saw an act of theft of some confectionery from the pie stall at an away game. It was an audacious, brazen piece of criminality, bordering on artful. I ain't no grass so I ain't saying nuffink more on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've seen a few occasions where fans have went on the pitch. Think only once was during the match though. Worst thing I saw and it was pretty recent, within the last couple of seasons anyway. A guy punched an old steward in the face down the front of the Norrie stand. Brutal to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
