BrahimHemdani 1 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nae snowball fights? Poor show...! Best not to have any, Frankie - imagine the SMSM headlines. "Rangers' fans in pitched battles" "missiles fly" As I mentioned in my "on the spot reporting" there was short period (perhaps 5 minutes) when the impatience of some fans on the slow if very well organised progress of the procession* got the better of them to the extent that they were throwing snowballs in the general direction of the police; in particular the van with the turret and cameraman you can see in one of my pictures. At that point the police wisely donned their helmets and for a few moments the situation could have turned nasty. However fortunately they took advice from an onlooker to get moving a bit faster and were ordered into their vehicles and the tension quickly dissipated. * This was caused in part by the organisation of the Union Bears who stopped frequently to keep their line abreast; and also the police who stopped from time to time to ensure the stragglers kept up with the main procession. No blame for the slow progress attaches to either group IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
