Thing looked it was made of paper mache and looks a poor retrofit design. That ‘s nearly the same defence a drunk driver would give... “I didn't mean to run over the pedestrian....

RandomGuy. Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I mean, jumping on a clearly weak roof that covers the clearly signed disabled section, is clearly and undoubtedly moronic and dangerous. Staggering to discover the only fanbase who dont completely condone those actions are fans of Celtic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and would have been fine if there was a barrier behind stopping anyone from going on it but it would have blocked the view. Like I said its poor design if somebody can practically step on to it and it cant take the weight of one person. 3 minutes ago, NFL12 said: That ‘s nearly the same defence a drunk driver would give... “I didn't mean to run over the pedestrian....

Yes there should be accountability at those involved but you cant really argue at the poor set up either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to be responsible and be held accountable for their own actions at all times. Who ever stood on that roof caused it to cave in, not the designer or builder.

No, my point was that the furore regarding 2 guys on a roof causing it to cave in didn't really merit the furore we have seen so far from it. They should be accountable but I would expect something that has been built for a public arena that can be stepped on to should be able to withhold a certain degree of weight, and if it doesn’t to have it protected by some sort of barrier. There will be an investigation into this no doubt and i can see the roofs either being reinforced or some sort of barrier stopping you from goin on it so easily. The guys will no doubt rightly be caught too though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocular Patdown Required Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) We actually looked like a coherent football team today, definitely in the second half we probably deserved a draw. I get that last minute winners are exciting and all but Rangers didn't look much better than last season, tbqhwy. Needed a scrappy corner and a defensive mishap at the second to win, but otherwise didn't seem to cut us apart from open play. There were encouraging signs there from the team and hopefully we can get a result against Hamilton. EDIT: Just to add but Kiltie surely deserves a start now. Really made the difference when he came on. Edited August 4, 2019 by Ocular Patdown Required 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 In all seriousness, these pitch invasions do need to stop, but the authorities and the media need to take alot of responsibility for them, as the leniancy they showed Hibs after thousands of their fans invaded the Hampden pitch, assaulted opposition players, incited opposition fans to riot and destroyed the goalposts after the 2016 Scottish Cup Final is what planted the seeds for the now regular pitch invasions we see. That was dismissed as "ach, only a bit of exuberance by the media and Hibs received a very light punishment for their supporters misbehaviour that day, result of that means that other sets of supporters look at that and think "well if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for us". We obviously had our own pitch invasion on a smaller scale a year prior to that after the playoff and received a suspended sentence, but football supporters really should stay off the park and celebrate IN the stands, like what they managed to do for years and years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making it sound as if they could accidentally stand on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not surprised though . In 20 odd years this is the first time I have heard of this happening. I do suppose that stadium designers should think about the absolute mindless scum that infest stadium 4 times a year to contain this common problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new dugouts at McDiarmid can be climbed onto from the crowd, I'll be emailing the club tomorrow to build a giant wall around them. You know, since fans so often climb onto structures above people when celebrating goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
