hypochondriac Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Got an awful lot of stick, especially when he came up the stairs and stopped right by me. It really does distract quite a lot from the game though, I wish they wouldn't do it.
Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 What the f*ck was that all about? Steward near me wasn't too impressed when I got my camera phone out and started recording the copper. Double standards much? The "Are you working for the Sun" chant made me laugh though.
Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 You do realize that you could ignore him and watch the game don't you? Nothing is forcing you to join in with the "mong fans" For me it's more the fact that an officer of the law has recorded my face on a tape for absolutely no reason whatsover.

70's Mike Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Think they were looking for guys who were banned after poopey game
Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Your face is recorded on tape probably over 100 times a day. Does it matter? As long as your not wanted and you weren't flashing your penis to him im sure you will be fine. Get out, there is a huge difference between fixed CCTV cameras and a copper deliberately pointing a hand held camera right at you.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 That copper had no right what so ever to point a camera into the crowd while the game was on. If they want,the police from the control room,can pinpoint any seat in the stadium,so for the police to be so in your face is just inflaming any situation that might occur. Yet another complete waste of police time and money.
Pilchards Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I thought it was a speed gun to see if any supporters were faster than our wing play today.
latter day saint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 thought it was funny as hell ! got the crowd going & made people laugh so wots wrong with chanting a few songs at him? my mate went ballistic at him! nearly p***ed my pants laughing at him
saintscottofthenortham Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 thought it was funny as hell ! got the crowd going & made people laugh so wots wrong with chanting a few songs at him? my mate went ballistic at him! nearly p***ed my pants laughing at him Because we are mongs. We should behave like the other 90% of the Northam did today and stand in silence.
SuperMikey Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 So that's what all the "W4nker" and "Paedo" chants were about then!
saintscottofthenortham Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 So that's what all the "W4nker" and "Paedo" chants were about then! Na... someone spotted DBP.
Professor Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Its in our interests to help the police, since they are acting for the law-abiding majority of us, but it seems rather stupid for the police to alienate the very people whose help they need and who they are working for, by using heavy handed tactics. Unfortunately its all too common for the police to treat members of the public as potential criminals which if it causes offence, as this seems to have done, public co-operation is lost.
Um Bongo Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 That copper had no right what so ever to point a camera into the crowd while the game was on.

Yet another complete waste of police time and money. It's a public place, anyone can film anyone. Why on earth one bloke with a camera wound so many people up is beyond me. IF you really want to blame someone, blame the mongs who have been banged up for the pompey game. If we didn't cause trouble, there would be no reason to film!
saint_mears Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 i reckon its to do with standing and all those that do will now get banning orders.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 i reckon its to do with standing and all those that do will now get banning orders. That'd be about 2000 banning orders then.

IF you really want to blame someone, blame the mongs who have been banged up for the pompey game. If we didn't cause trouble, there would be no reason to film! Can you see the police acting the same way at a rugby or cricket match?I for one am sick and tired of the way us football fans are treated by the police. There was no reason what so ever for that copper filming the fans today.As i said earlier,they can pin point every seat at SMS from the control room if they want. As for anyone causing trouble at the pompey game,i doubt very much if that was the reason for the filming.
LostBoys Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 What do you expect when there was a riot going on and SFC fans fighting with SFC fans. Oh there wasn't a riot going on and no one was fighting - we were just singing Markus Liebherr's Red and White Army - well you could interpret that as a riot if you were a policeman with a camera. Ridiculous.
Saints Warrior Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 They were looking for Saints missing forward, winger and midfield player....last seen in block 42
tonibell Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I was in the Northam today liked the chant "are you working for the Sun" Think l start wearing a Burka down St Marys,
woodfc Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Perhaps the EDL could organize a demonstation in St Marys Street on a match day, that should keep the police cameras occupied!
Whitey Grandad Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I was in the Northam today liked the chant "are you working for the Sun" Think l start wearing a Burka down St Marys, I liked 'can we have the DVD?' I thought it was grossly over-the-top policing that assumes everyone is a potential wrongdoer. The police are there to serve us, not the other way round. It's enough to cause a riot. I was once told that they do it so that if there is trouble later they can identify people caught on CCTV by their clothing.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 The pictures will be printed in the echo on Monday. The club asks that anyone who's picture is not 100% clear sends a signed passport photo within 14 days. Thank you for your understanding.

"A Saints top" "Oh ok then".

And your right, probably not just the pompey game, but the combination of situations we have had some influence.
bpsaint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 That copper was from the Met police not Hampshire, dunno why he'd be filming us lot.

Its probably something to do with Saints fans being graded as cat C in the league of naughty fans. But i still cant understand why there was so much effort put into filming the Northam today?Does anyone know if the police fimed any of the other stands?
aintforever Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 It shouldn't matter because you are on CCTV loads of time every day but having some copper shove a TV camera in your face because he thinks you might be a criminal just because you are watching a football match is just wrong. Maybe they should also start filming people coming out of mosques because they might be terrorists, I bet that would go down well.

Totally agree its like they have nothing better to do??? total waste of tax payers money,
Channon's Sideburns Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I got told by one of the Stewards today that I couldn't hang up a WIFM banner in the Chapel/Kingsland corner because 'it blocked the block numbers' - so I walked over to some walkway bars (with nothing in front of them) - the Steward Boss stood on the concourse said No. Got told I could only put it at the back of the stand. Jumped up little gits. ONE ******* DAY TO SAY THANK YOU TO MARKUS' FAMILY AND THEY DO THAT.
Mao Cap Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Why film a docile and good-humoured crowd? Waste of damn money.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 That copper was from the Met police not Hampshire, dunno why he'd be filming us lot. Future away days? Single out potential trouble makers perhaps. Which is, in my opinion, completely wrong.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 The pictures will be printed in the echo on Monday. The club asks that anyone who's picture is not 100% clear sends a signed passport photo within 14 days. Thank you for your understanding. Your passport photo can only be taken by an approved club photographer.
Gambol2K9 Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 They were out around the pubs with the cameras as well. People stood outside trying to enjoy a pint with a camera shoved in their face! It's a complete waste of tax payers money and if anything just winds the crowd up and causes more trouble
SET Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Would have been funny if the whole stand would have turned their backs
docker-p Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Just the OB trying to be BBB. Let them have their fun, bless them.
lordswoodsaints Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I'm selling a line of red and White balaclavas if anybody is interested.
saintsforlife7 Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 Funny to see though, on the Saints Twitter "The Northam end singing "South Coast Team" raises a smile from the Sun reporter in the press box! " T'was funny too!
bpsaint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 I'll wear my fonejacker outfit to the next game, be worth a laugh.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 21 August, 2010 Posted 21 August, 2010 For me it's more the fact that an officer of the law has recorded my face on a tape for absolutely no reason whatsover. Normal laws don't apply at football, were treated like animals. Just do what I did a few years ago at Swansea, ask for their badge number and threaten to report them to the IPCC for invasion of privacy and harassment; soon made them stop filming me.

Just do what I did a few years ago at Swansea, ask for their badge number and threaten to report them to the IPCC for invasion of privacy and harassment; soon made them stop filming me. to be fair there were some proper animals ar rge game today in block 43 of the northam. Made me cringe to be a football fan, not the most cerebral bunch for sure and frankly a disgrace when you consider the recent events around the club. In row U block 43 around seat 1108 some proper "hard case" was giving it the most foul mouthed tirade i think i've ever heard anywhere and his pikey chav gorilla girlfriend was loving it. No wonder the police were filmimng with ****s like that around!

Dave Benson Phillips Posted 22 August, 2010 Posted 22 August, 2010 Well I for one didn't expect D*lldays to have an opinion on this subject.
