Davy is a protestor so therefore he's an idiot.. He certainly protested about the way we were playing when he incompetently brought on Andranik for the injured Hammill, anyone could see that Devaney should have come on and kept it like for like. By the way Reid scored the goal, now who was tracking him on the wing before he went off injured?
Weren't they practicing their "Kettling"? I seem to think we've had problems with Kettles before</p> </p>
Robert Peels Principles of Policing and the modern police force Principle #4: The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force. Principle #6: Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient. Principle #7: Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; Blimey, remind you of the boys in Blue? Not a chance. I really like that last one, when did the Police stop being a force for protecting the citizens of the country and started being a political tool of the state? Was it 1984? Or before then?
Must admit i chuckled ta a Reds fan near the bus station taunting the gallant force with comments like " i`m on me way ome from work, i`m not a protester so dont push me over and kill me! cos thats what coppers do!" dont push me dont push me ( in a Rambo tone) they didnt know what to do with him.
1984 picketing lesson learnt We should have recruited Wolves fans to man the picket lines. Went by several hundred riot police and stewards as if they weren't there.
