BEARGER 1,829 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just caught the end of news, saying police are warning Rangers fans ahead of tonight's game, they will be visiting pubs "looking for flares" I don't think they mean trousers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) is it against the law to have a flare on you when out and about? I know its illegal to enter a sporting ground with one but cant see how the dwindling police budget is being wisely spent sending officers round pubs looking for people who are legally carrying flares, which they can do nothing about if they magically see one. Are these searches even legal? Is it not discrimination to pick on a group and search them based on nothing more than police prejudice. Who decides who looks like a flare carrier? all in all pretty embarrassing behaviour all round. No wonder police Scotland are turning a blind eye to so many crimes and are penniless, they have the great flare operation to focus on.

Jama88 0 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Why does anyone even have flares on them at games? Most pointless thing ever, doesn't bring atmosphere, doesn't bring cheer, just choking on the smoke for 15 fucking minutes.... Get them to fuck..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 How hard can it be to find them? Just look for someone walking down the road with a large holdall with words pyrotechnics/ flairs/chibs/sectarian sheet music, stenciled on the side of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,346 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 There is no point going into pubs looking for flares, the average age of a flare-carrying numpty is about 14, so none of them will be in the pubs. Idiots - that can be used for both plod and anyone carrying/using flares at football. Methinks this was just another negative Rangers story to add to the countless others our papers like to fill their empty pages with, or similar with our Scottish tv news stations. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
