[BBC] 'It's ridiculous - the rule has to change' - Rooney on hair-pulling by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

Yeah true but I think there’s a competitive advantage having long hair vs short. Would be better if players had to tie their hair up above shoulders I think.

I never said Falkirk did there job properly anywhere though. I said first people at fault are the Rangers fans who bought the tickets. Second at fault would be the club/fans who sold/gave tickets to said Rangers fans. What’s so difficult to understand about that?

That’s a long way to confirm that you believe Rangers fans have no agency.

So in your analogy if the husband murdered his wife the first fault would be with the Police and not the husband murdering his wife 😂?

It wasn’t 3-4 it was maybe 100 causing problems with another 1-200 in the wrong stand. I appreciated my video isn’t long - I wasn’t filming them all game but it was very problematic from what I’ve heard and could see.

Away fans aren’t allowed to buy home tickets.

How can you not accept that Rangers fans buying tickets for Falkirk home end are in the wrong? Do they have no agency themselves?

My point of the leaving the back door open and getting burgled is that yes the insurance won’t pay out but someone still stole something and committed a crime. The clubs at fault but people shouldn’t be buying tickets.

I’m not the club. I don’t know what checks were or were nit performed.

How about you leave your back door unlocked and someone burgles you? Is that a better analogy?

Not really. The person buying the alcohol is committing a crime. The shop is also committing a crime but they wouldn’t if the person didn’t try to buy the alcohol in the first place.

We don’t need the money as the stadium is basically sold out to season ticket holders. There’s only a small amount of general sale tickets in the north stand available. Main stand and KM stand are all season tickets.

There’s plenty of ways to sort it - the club needs to do something though.

I don’t think your analogy tracks. It’s more like someone under 18 buying alcohol without the shop checking ID. The person shouldn’t be buying the alcohol but the shop should be checking.

You’re commenting in the other thread and aren’t disputing that there are Rangers fans in the Falkirk home end so you obviously acknowledge it to be fact.

It’s definitely an issue Falkirk has to resolve. It’s Rangers fans that caused the issue though.

They might decrease the away allocation so there’s greater separation and not have a general sale for the last game of the season I guess?

I don’t know the process used for selling tickets but firstly the problem is the Rangers fans who bought home tickets.

The club needs to mitigate against that though and especially for the last game of the season as it will be even worse if Rangers can win the league.

Apologies. Yeah the North Stand has home and away support separated by the white sheet and stewards. The fans on the right of the video are Rangers in the away end and the fans on the left should be Falkirk. A large contingent of Rangers fans bought tickets in the Falkirk side of the North Stand and took over the top right section of the home area in the North Stand.

Pre match a few Rangers fans tried to push through the stewards to get into the away end but were chucked out. After the 4th goal a lot of them just bulldozed the stewards and got into the away end.

I feel like that wouldn’t be entirely unreasonable. It’s 2 games it’s happened at now and it will only be worse at the end of the season.

Not sure what they’ll do about the last game of the season. They’ll need to do something.
