Double Standards

[dave58]

Read on here last week that a Rs fan was banned for 3 years for throwing a flare at Yeovil (not that it's right) but loads of poles obviously took flares into Wembley last night, which is illegal at English grounds. Were they arrested and banned? I doubt it very much! for fear of offending the poor little souls as its their culture at football grounds to bring flares!
Hence the double standards and comtempt shown to English fans by their own Police & the F.A. if English fans brought flares into wembley they would be ejected and banned

As you say, we have no idea if nothing was done, let alone the reasoning behind the potential nothing.

I think the 3 year ban was for the mind numbing embarrassment of throwing a flare at Yeovil.......

The banning after Yeovil took about 3 weeks and it was 1 fan out of a thousand.

Its only been 12 hours, and they need to identify a fair few out of 18k+. Wouldnt get so agitated yet.

you say its their culture at football grounds to have flares.How many of them do you think go to matches in Poland and how many do you think flew over from Poland (about 4 i reckon and they won't be going back)

I guess we won't be seeing those 16 Poles at Rangers for 3 years then

Wonder if op will delete the thread or pretend it never happened?

Exactly.......talk about making assumptions without knowing the facts!

Let's wait and see what happens first. Anything less than a 3 year ban will require a response!
