Davie Provan today said "Commonsense should prevail when the SPL investigate the attack on Neil as there were 300 cops & stewards on duty but they still couldn't stop the lunatic getting onto the pitch"
That's a bit like saying you have security around the back of your house but you still left your front door opened and the attacker got in!
If you look at any of the pictures on the night, the attacker ran at least 25 yards from his seat past many people unchallenged.
All the police or stewards had to do was to have some security around the dug-out area, because believe it or not, that's where the guy was standing who was having his life threatened! And why weren't the police or stewards not facing the crowd. Plus the two standing at the tunnel were the last to react as they were too busy watching the match. TV evidence shows this!
Yeah, hard for the police & stewards to work out putting at least one person where Neil was when they were organising their 300 strong squad.
The security around Neil was non-existent and all the pictures on the night clearly display that!
Why the need for an investigation by the SPL?
ReplyDeleteA lunatic runs 25 yards from the crowd to attack a man who has been in receipt of death threats, the Police fail to stop him. The Police match commander has already accepted responsibility (as reported by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain). Therefore nothing to investigate.
Unless the SPL are willing to investigate the motive/reasons surrounding the attack and we all know thats not going to happen, any so called investigation is nothing but a sham
