foxile5 Posted 5 January 2013 Posted 5 January 2013 The apparent Knockaert saga showed the police in the same light. For some reason they go power crazy when they put on that hat and show little respect to the public hence why they get little respect back My opinion is if you want the power of being a police officer there is no way you should be given it. If someone wants the power to **** up a persons life for petty reasons they really don't deserve to have that power, and I have no doubt this is what your average (and most likely exceptional) police officer covets. There is no excuse for this. Look at it objectively. Man in crowd of thousands all throwing 'objects' (that is the illegal part of it, the description of which confetti nicely fits into) decide that one member of said crowd throwing a sandwich bag is commiting an arrestable offence. It's not sane. They likely just got fed up of having to police the City and decided to **** up someones day. They're a malignant tumour in society.
foxesfan1989 Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Wait, I was at the game today but all this seems to have gone over my head. I did see something, looked like a long string of plastic land near one of the goals, is that what this is all about? What was the arrest about? Someone clear this up for me...
Foxes_Trust Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Kevin Barclay, or his assistant as the coppers tried to tell me. 'lcfc"weasel" - please contact the FSF before you do anything else, we have already made the FSF aware
Leicesterlad96 Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Weasel stringer really wants you to get in touch!
1994fox Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 This is an absolute ****ing joke! It winds me up so much that we are so helpless to resist such blatant stupidity! Something needs to be done about this, dont just lay down weasel.

Craig Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 This isn't the bill mate . You request a lawyer in a situation like that you're making a rod for your own back. Please explain how. As a 'lawyer' myself I would strongly disagree with that. I would never advise anyone who is arrested to forfeit their right to 'free and independent legal advice', which anyone is entitled to at the Police Station, for any offence. Anyone who is arrested and taken into custody is entitled to 'free and independent legal advice', regardless of the offence.

Tubbymofo Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Not wanting to get anyone else in trouble but the roll of sandwich bags that made it onto the pitch at the end came over my head and landed in the stand and someone else picked it up and threw it on the pitch

And I saw that from the top. Weasel was right beneath me. For the life of me I cannot see what he has been done for! The bag he threw didnt even reach the pitch. Before the game to hand out confetti Bags we were lobbing em from the top so people got them but they weren't missiles it was merely being passed down and throughout the game a couple of sandwich bag rolls were thrown down but only ever got to halfway down the stand as you'd expect! We seriously need to protest this! It's a f****** farce
Tommy G Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Guess someone didn't read the no sandwich bags sign when entering the stadium. Going to have to take my butties in a lunchbox next home game after this scandal
Dan Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 I love how you take one incident at a football match and generalize it. Tell me I'm wrong. It's another example of people with authority using the most ridiculous technicalities to get someone done.
Mack Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Just a thought. If this was a roll of sandwich bags rather than A sandwich bag and had hit some kid or an oap on the back of the head that might have caused pain tears or distress? What was the motive in slinging it? It's not confetti.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 This isn't the bill mate . You request a lawyer in a situation like that you're making a rod for your own back. Sad to hear this story but unfortuantly it's a reflection of modern day football, sadly our money is no longer required to keep our club afloat so the days of us behaving how we want and a stadium being our own are long gone. I do sympathise as I've been ejected and banned for the terrible of crime of "persistant standing" when I was leaning against the back of the stadium when the guy in front of me was stood up ( and I was obviously on the back row) but there's little chance of this getting over turned unless you can appeal to their better nature (i.e pointing out the implications it has for future employment and apologising instead of fighting for your right to throw things in the stadium) The police wont want to know and the club will almost certainly want nothing to do with it. At the end of the day even attempting to throw a missle on to the pitch (which if you even threw it in the general direction of the pitch with some force will be impossible to disprove) is, like what I did, by the letter of the law, an offence. Best of luck anyway, and I would say if I were you don't go back but I did so I can't . Sadly as a direct result of what happened to me I'm more interested in watching the game then attempting to fight the power and make any kind of contribution to the atmosphere at The King Power. I've seen countless people chucked out and arrested for petty shit and non of them have ever changed anything, Im afraid the latest bunch of freedom fighters will end up the same. I know it sounded a bit OTT, but as I said, given the implications of the caution. As someone has said, accepting the caution is almost an admission of guilt. I don't even know if you can reject a caution and what the implications of doing so may arise (court case??)Plead not guilty, get found guilty, banning order? Jail? That's the whole point in having a lawyer Times I've nearly took some bog roll into L block to throw (perfectly innocently and unaware of consequences) but had I have done, and then accepted a caution, I could well be out of a job by now as I need CRB checks to pass as I do a lot of school work. Its astonishing and very scary really
The Year Of The Fox Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Balls in your court Weasel FSF Faircopâ€@FSF_FairCop @stulcfc So I've heard. His mate has tweeted. We can help with legal advice if he wants to get in touch.

What was the motive in slinging it? It's not confetti. F*** me it's hardly going to kill them isit! Besides, I was there and not one roll touched anybody and as someone mentioned before! The roll that went just behind the goal (hardly even on the grass) was thrown by somebody at the bottom.

In fairness if my grandma was at the football and she got hit on the back of the head, I'd be livid. But I'm not defending the stewards/police

promised land Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 So now we learn that it wasn't a bag of confetti but the actual roll of unused bags that were thrown, still can't see this making the pitch from the top of the stand. If they have CCTV footage of it, if I were Weasel I would want to see the evidence that it made it from top to pitch, if someone else picked it up and re threw it surely they're on camera as well. On a side note, do people think the club are exercising their muscles here because of all the mess the confetti made, they simply are looking for a scapegoat.
Mack Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 What's funny? If someone threw a heavy roll of anything and it whacked my kid i would chin them. I dont see the point? The confetti thing is fair enough, but why would someone want to lob that? Just seems stupid to me. Granted the stewards should have just told him he was a **** and to pack it in. Its not going to kill them unless they have a heart attack through the shock. In fairness if my grandma was at the football and she got hit on the back of the head, I'd be livid. But I'm not defending the stewards/police Exactly, and the same goes for a kid. F*** me it's hardly going to kill them isit! Besides, I was there and not one roll touched anybody and as someone mentioned before! The roll that went just behind the goal (hardly even on the grass) was thrown by somebody at the bottom. And when he lobbed it he knew it would'nt hit anyone...............
The Year Of The Fox Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Was it actually a roll of bags you threw weasel? Ive not seen him say this yet, only other people sayingit, and even then they weren't implying he threw them
Lobsterboyuk Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 It was a roll *but* it was thrown as a streamer and was a long thin piece of plastic, cannot believe it would hurt anybody
lavrentis Posted 6 January 2013 Posted 6 January 2013 Thrown out for throwing a aoll of sandwich bags
