What’s that got to do with this thread?
We are trying to get non football back in a not so discreet way.

The way that Security Firm Director has put things in his statement makes it sound like he’s involved in some sort of military conflict every other Saturday.

Don’t care who he is or what he’s been if a member of his staff handcuff another fan in the ground then the club should kick them out due to not carrying out their duties in the way the club has requested. End of.

If you get offended by a violent person being handcuffed you should seek help.

I don’t think security guards can handcuff anyone unless they are a danger to others or themselves, and it is a citizens arrest, certainly hope we don’t see that again.

Yep correct they should be binned by the club, there is no need for handcuffs unless the Police deem them necessary and in football grounds they have never needed to be used and don’t need using now. The club sets the agenda for the firm’s they employ as matchday security and if the firm employed cannot conduct themselves as instructed they should be kicked out and get some proper professionals in to do the job as requested properly.

Didn’t say he didn’t, just that is the only way they can use them, but totally against it.

UTI99, in my opinion your approach to this issue is dogmatic and would only add fuel to the fire. This is bigger than this particular incident on Saturday and it’s in the club’s best interests to view the situation holistically and take action that reduces the risk of it happening again. In my view that would be to end the contract with the current suppler and tender for a firm that understands crowd control at sporting occasions and would mitigate the real possibility of it happening again. The club can ill afford to lose any more support and goodwill at this time.
I don’t agree with Short’s statement here either:
‘Although not common in this area of operations it was the right option to use as opposed to physical force or heavy handed tactics.’
‘As opposed to physical force or heavy handed tactics’!!?? I wouldn’t like to see what they do deem as physical force or heavy handed tactics! Whatever next?

They acted professionally, as they were trained to use them and they did so. Nobody got injured in the process, so job done.
In my day a copper would have given the lad a slap with his truncheon and then beaten him up in the van on the way to the nick.
Times change.
