  1. Davy, What a joke. Police weren't interested on the day, funny that is the advise now, a bit late. Lucky you, getting a reply from the Polish FA. I got nothing, nada, ziltch from them despite numerous emails. Oh well, thanks for the info..
  2. Can I just Thank Davy P for all his hard work in trying to get our flags returned. Think now it is time to move on, as clearly we are dealing with Neds that really had no intention of returning any of them, but once again Davy thanks for all your efforts. Can I also thank everyone for all of your kind suggestions but it is now time to move on and forget these idiots that get enjoyment out of stealing flags, hanging them upside down and posting on websites for all to see. In reply to CRAIG1209 we WERE acting responsibly with our flag when it was stolen. We were sitting right beside it when we were jumped by a crowd of thugs who upturned tables, while stealing it, we had children with us and it was very lucky that they were not hurt in the commission that followed. However, we do not need to justify ourselves, our flag was stolen by thugs, end of story. I also hope there will not be any silly retaliation at the return game, there certainly won't be from our group, as we had a great time in Poland in October and in March and the genuine fans were brilliant. But we will replace our flag and I will be sure to send these idiots photos of our new flag, to all of the websites that they obviously had great pleasure in posting photos of their so called trophies.
  3. Can I just say that our flag was one of the ones stolen and we WERE looking after it. We were sat right beside it. It was tied on to a trellis fence. This was well organised and the culprits knew exactly what they were doing. They didn't care if anyone got hurt in the process. We caught one of the idiots but he was straight on his phone for back up. Our flag was expensive but we will replace it, and be more selective of were it goes, these idiots will meet their match one day, Thanks to everyone who has tried to help get these flag back. Anything that I have tried has been unsuccessful. I hope that perhaps someone has had more luck than us.
  4. Thanks Davy for all your efforts - Much appreciated by Barnton TA.
  5. Al2014 and Davy P Any help would be appreciated, we would gladly pay for postage or collect from anyone who was willing to bring flag back to Scotland. Thank you everyone who is trying to help with the return of flags.
  6. Tartan Wayne, This was certainly well planned. they knew exactly what they were doing. On reflection we should have reported to police but we didn't, we just didn't want any trouble as the Ultra's were hanging about and we had kids with us. Any help in getting our flag back would certainly be appreciated.
  7. Thanks Davy. Would be grateful if you could keep us posted.
  8. In reply to MOX and FANATYK - firstly it really isn't that funny as someone could have been seriously hurt and secondly we were keeping an eye on the flag. It was tied to a fence separating 2 bars and we were siting right beside it. There was a little ned siting in the next bar on his mobile phone, obviously keeping them updated, the next thing a group of them came out of nowhere grabbed the flag and the fence went with the flag. We were just lucky no one was hurt in the commotion. Our guys did chase them and caught the ned on the mobile phone but we had kids with us and I would not allow my husband or close friends to do anything to him and then we would have been the fans with the bad reputation. Worse of all he stood there and taunted us about revenge for the Celtic match. We just left the bar before there was any more trouble. We have had our flag for about 15 years and it has been all over the world. The sad thing is, people from all over the world also had enjoyment from the flag, kids loved it because of the dancing thistle, wanting their photo taken with it, so unfortunately that will no longer be the case.
