Desp Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Quote Motherwell Football Club have banned an individual following an incident that took place during Sunday’s match against Rangers. In the 37th minute of the game, items were thrown from the crowd towards the pitch, narrowly missing James Tavernier. Since that incident, staff at the club have been studying CCTV, together with both moving and still photography, in an attempt to identify the culprits. Those efforts have been successful. One person has been identified and has been informed he is banned from Fir Park indefinitely. We are continuing to investigate a second individual we have identified threw an object onto the park, and will similarly ban as soon as possible. Commenting on the matter, chairman Jim McMahon said: “We condemn the irresponsible actions of two of our fans, whose moment of recklessness has cast an unfortunate shadow over our whole support. “It gives us absolutely no pleasure or satisfaction to ban anyone from Fir Park. “As a fan-owned and fan-run club, we have tried to campaign for the rights of supporters. We have been vocal in our opposition to any suggestion or notion of strict liability. “However, with that comes a responsibility to act if any of our own step out of line, particularly if we have such clear and obvious evidence. “I am sure our supporters understand that we are left with no other option but to take a hard line approach with not only these two individuals, but anyone else who steps out of line.” Well done Motherwell FC for such a swift response.

As previously mentioned, the hyprociosy of Rangers fans lecturing anyone about fan behaviour will continue to be mocked. 10 minutes ago, Gusty said: I am waiting to hear what action Police Scotland are taking It's next on their list after the investigation of the sectarian signing of thousands of Rangers fans at the game.

Last time i was at Fir Park Wallace was hit more than once by objects thrown from that part of the stadium. Worth mentioning the last time Lee Wallace played at Fir Park was August 2017, unless we're counting a game where he played 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
