seems to be getting worse at alot of scottish grounds now i think a possible ground shutdown for fans could happen in near future if it keeps happening for a few games to let fans know it wont be tolerated

 
Problem.

Away fans at Motherwell throw stuff at players. You gonna shut that ground, the ground of the away fans where the missile came from, or all grounds?

Agree something needs doing though.

i would just let us into that wee section of neds at motherwell for 10 minutes - that would sort it

Hmmmm.............. I've got a doubt that would really be the solution to arseholes ripping up seats at Pittodrie, or inadequates flinging a smokebomb in Paisley. You'd have to talk me through the thinking shedboy 


For all the time I've been going to the football, dafties have thrown stuff on the park. It's flavour of the month right now, aided and abetted by the media who like to write a lazy headline.

Over all the years, clubs have cut back on law enforcement officers replacing them with minimum waged stewards with little to no training. Couple that with the pressure on kids trying to be part of 'the gang', mix it in with mephedrone or similar (see the boy at Easter Road now jailed for a symbolic 100 days) and it should be obvious to all but the thick that the issue is societal rather than isolated to football.
