Molotov Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) 5 pages for THE major domestic cup final in Scottish football? Edited May 25 by Molotov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Still no fan from either side as far as I can see has explained or complained about how many more tickets Celtic fans have over Rangers. After all the SFA and the police have stated before that they cannot segregate Hampden Park 50:50 and since Celtic have the largest home season tickets it’s only fair that they receive the most tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always console ourselves by watching the English counterpart Clearly, on P&B, there’s a view held by many that they’d rather watch Inverurie Locos v Third Lanark than anything in Eng-er-land. It’s as if watching an EPL game when there’s anything else on in Scotland makes you guilty of treason. Being hung, drawn and quartered on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle would be too good for you. Today could be the day to stretch that viewpoint to breaking point. Watching those two kunts and their pyros/tifos/songbook? No thanks. I’m watching Man City v Man Utd, but if it gets to the point where City are scudding seven colours of shite out of the bald fraud’s mob, then maybe it’ll be time to flick channels to the kunto derby. See what the score is. Maybe. Edited May 25 by pozbaird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always console ourselves by watching the English counterpart I guess we will see the highlights and lowlights on the news channels later on. Hopefully we get a modern version of the 1980 SC final post match “party”. Do we have a modern day version of Archie Woof Macpherson: “This is like a scene out of Apocalypse Now…we’ve got the equivalent of Passchendaele and that says nothing for Scottish football. “At the end of the day, let’s not kid ourselves. These supporters hate each other.” Edited May 25 by Molotov 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 4 minutes ago, AJF said: They have? Yes. Most recently the League cup final between The Rangers and Aberdeen. “The Pittodrie club has hit out at the SPFL after this morning it emerged they were denied the chance of an even amount of tickets for the showpiece encounter as Rangers. The teams will face off at the national stadium on Sunday, December 17 as Philippe Clement and Barry Robson both aim to win their first trophy as manager of their respective clubs. Rangers will have the support of 25,000 fans, with the Dons only being afforded 19,500. In addition, the design of the stadium and its ability to split sections is a major factor which influences our decisions, together with input from safety and security authorities to ensure fan safety and appropriate segregation.“ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Aberdeens proposal to sell their allocation section by section and then hand back any unsold to Rangers? Because Hampden only has certain points where you can naturally segregate fans due to the way the concourses are set up (one such place is exactly half way along the North Stand so 50/50 split absolutely is feasible) this means you can’t really segregate the fans beyond these set points. Otherwise you’d have opposing fans sharing turnstiles, stairways and kiosks. Edited May 25 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Aberdeens proposal to sell their allocation section by section and then hand back any unsold to Rangers? Because Hampden only has certain points where you can naturally segregate fans due to the way the concourses are set up, this means you can’t feasibly segregate the fans beyond these points, otherwise you’d have opposing fans sharing turnstiles, stairways and kiosks. It’s utter bullshit and for decades favours the Old Firm. Hampden Park should be a completely neutral venue for cup semi finals and finals. Home and away dressing rooms should be based on the toss of a coin. The fans should be allocated the area that is geographically closest to their home village/town/city. The SFA, the SPFL and the police are complicit in agreeing to the demands of these two clubs at the detriment to the rest of Scottish football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what if they do it because of the religious bigotry displayed by a fanbase and their apparent belief it's ok to destroy parts of the city after a victory? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 12 minutes ago, AJF said: These are all different points to the one you originally made. Because you are clearly in denial of what favours two “unique” institutions. It has been discussed many times before about the football authorities and the polis providing reasons not to give non-OF fans the opportunity of a 50:50 split for cup semi and finals as well as stadium neutrality. Let’s see whether at 3pm today there will be a divide at the half way line of the North Stand at Hampden Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to remove my comment cos I can’t be arsed with it, but what you originally claimed is not true. It is evidently clear that Hampden can be split 50/50. The issue with Aberdeen’s proposal was the points for segregation not allowing for them to sell section by section round the north stand. ETA: the illustration on my ticket (I’m assuming) shows where the segregation points are. Anything beyond the segregation point between sections D and F would’ve resulted in opposition fans using the same entryways and kiosks which really isn’t feasible. The only other segregation point is at half way. Edited May 25 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
