Meanwhile more than 90 per cent of burglaries are not even investigated.

They going to spray fans that cause trouble or look like they are then can keep an eye on them for months that’s how long a spray lasts for! What if this spray accidentally gets sprayed on an innocent person?

They treat football fans like it still 1970/1980’s

It’s bound to be used indiscriminately.

Yes, it's what Migs does to Clarice in silence of the lambs. Presumably administered via water cannon to the away end. Police will have to spend the whole week wanking into a bucket - no wonder you never see a bobby on the beat anymore :-(

I, for one, certainly don't want to see this. They can do it privately.

Would love to see the Collateral Intrusion disclaimer for that.

A month down the line, you're innocently walking down the street and the Rozzers potentially profile you as you've got DNA spray on you from that away game two weeks prior.

its a mist they spray or can be automatically be administered as ypu pass a doorway.

some are odourless and invisible to notice when sprayed.

It coats you in a Special DNA that can be logged and doesn't leave you for months, you are basically tagged

Surely this has civil liberty implications?
If you're a wrong un and up to no good, maybe. Even then I'm not comfortable.

What is "Disorderly" football is that tame now most of the handbags are like squabbles in a nursery, the demographic of football going fans just isn't the same as it was.

Someone sprays me I will get disorderly.

This is the issue.

The perceived benefits of deterring people who could be disorderly is far outweighed by the potential to majorly piss off the overwhelming majority of people who would never ordinarily be disorderly.

Truly down the rabbit hole with this one.

They are low because the police don't have the resources to nick them.

Here's an example from my own personal experience last week.

I was pressured into working a train full of fans who had trashed the previous train which was cancelled. Even though they witnessed it they "Couldn't identify the culprits and just want them gone."

They wouldn't allow any officers to travel with me to their main destination as they "We're allocated elsewhere..."

After the driver and I refused we finally got the officers to travel.

On board, as well as getting off they were fighting and abusing myself and the police at stations. One threatened me. I asked the police to remove him. They had a 'chat' and put back him on the train. Only telling me once they all fucked off at Stoke.

There's a minority of dickheads in all football club who cannot or, won't behave in public. They don't feel the need to act decent in a public setting. I'm all for identifying them.

However, the spray idea doesn't work for me. As I have to deal with them on a weekly during the season. What happens if I'm accidentally sprayed and a few months late I'm hauled away because it's on me when I'm travelling to a game?
