The SFA need to send clear instructions to match officials to clamp down on players celebrating goals directly in front of opposing fans.
Easton`s antics after the penalty were well out of order - and only serve to instigate trouble.
No excuse for his silliness or the unacceptable throwing of objects.

The unacceptable names being thrown at him prior to taking the penalty didn’t help matters.
No place for us to take the higher moral ground on that.
Don’t think Easton did anything wrong.

Disagree entirely. Players get absolute pelters all game, why should they not be allowed to celebrate a goal? As much as Easton is a fud, his celebration wasn`t over the top as some are making out.
Anyone in the crowd who can`t accept someone celebrating a goal in front of them without chucking something is the problem. Not the players.

You can get a yellow card for taking your shirt off while celebrating a goal but it`s OK to deliberately wind up the opposition fans apparently. Where`s the logic in that?

Just watched the Raith highlights (which are really good) and there’s two absolute twats in the NW section with black and white masks or paint on with the slitting the throat gesture.
Honestly what an absolute mess some people are.
Easton went over there for the banter.

He behaved like a classless clown.
You can`t be running direct to the oppositions fans and giving it the big man. That`s inciting trouble for me, the laddie undoubtedly can play but there`s aspects to his game that`s questionable at best.
I presume the coaching he does with Cardle isn`t voluntary, yet the same folk he`s gesturing to in the crowd are the same folk who`ll be paying fees to Cardle. Not a role-model for those kids in any way with his carry-on.

Pah, nonsense. Boy was getting pelters from that section prior to the penalty, getting called some rather unpleasant names which is classless.
He then scored a nicely taken penalty under that pressure and went over there to indicate that it was water off a ducks back, he wouldn’t let people like that affect him.
He stayed on the pitch, the fingers in ear thing was for seconds before he then celebrated with his team.
Fair play in my book, then you get the kids with the slit throat gestures and throwing the coins. Muppets.
Throughout the remainder of the game all the singing from Easton was fair enough, but he didn’t react once.
I’m not his biggest fan by any stretch but didn’t really see anything worth wetting our pants over yesterday.

Definitely should be a bookable offence if it isn`t already. Doesn`t matter what the fans have done - that`s not really the referee`s concern. It`s inciting the crowd and could lead to safety concerns. Similar level to jumping into the home fans to celebrate - bookable offence because of risk to crowd safety.

Right, let`s get a few things straight here. Some fans in the NW let our club down with their unacceptable behaviour, which will inevitably have consequences. We will almost certainly be looking at a fine, and the club may decide to close the NW, which would be a real shame as those youngsters create a great atmosphere and help lift the players.
Players have a responsibility to ensure they do not incite crowd trouble. Had the referee shown Easton a yellow card for "unsporting behaviour" straight away that might have diffused the situation immediately. I can`t agree that the behaviour of these kids in the NW meant Easton was entitled to run over and taunt them. He`s an adult and needs to show restraint.
Imagine a classroom situation in which some pupils verbally abuse their teacher and the teacher then replies in kind. I wonder how that might pan out? Does anyone think the teacher would not find him/ herself in some very hot water?

Remember the OF game when Dallas was hit by the coin and gave Rangers the penalty, Albertz said later that he was told if scored to wheel back to his own half and not go anywhere near the Celtic fans.
Police match commander used to meet with refs before each game, not sure if they still do, and would no doubt mention stuff like this.
At the very least the linesman should have been ushering them back to their own half. Common sense at least, sure the linesman in the Falkirk game handled it a lot better when Morrison etc came across after their opening goal.

Absolutely no excuse to throw things at a player and I can’t believe anyone can point fingers at Easton for this. Matty Todd done the exact same thing in the league cup last season and we thought it was brilliant. I don’t think he received anywhere near the abuse Easton did either…If you’re happy giving abuse to a player, expect to take it back when he scores. All he did was slide to the fans with his fingers in his ears and laugh at the Norrie for winning the penalty. People need to learn to take it back if they’re happy to give it. The celebration Scott McDonald gave a few years ago was an excellent reply to the fan songs and people should see the funny side rather than frothing at the mouth because the player had the audacity to get his own back.
It’s not going to go down to well when the club have to pay for increased policing, pay a hefty fine or shut down the stand. It’s a shame because the majority create an excellent atmosphere that will seriously help the players. I just wish they could stick to that.

It`s clear that some responders can`t separate the two issues - and try to justify the scenario that played out as OK because two wrongs make a right.
Vitriolic abuse directed at any opponent is unacceptable - but that does not excuse the player from deliberately indulging in antics which are liable to cause crowd bother.
Law 12 is clear on the matter - maybe the referee needs refresher training ?

It`s obvious that some of the "fans" in that section of the NW couldn`t care less about the club and it`s reputation. They are irresponsible and their own ego and gratification is top of their agenda. Anarchy reigns with some. They know the rules about pyrotechnics and yet they smuggle them in. Their actions give them a profile with their fellows that they are probably missing in day to day life. They see English Premiership games where objects are thrown at players taking corners, with impunity so that gives them license to do likewise. On the plus side that section of the NW does add positively to the occasion and our own players play up to them when we score. But the cost of having them comes at a price that may become too much.
Messr. Easton, however does not have the excuse of juvenile delinquency to fall back on. He is supposed to be an adult. To allow himself to be provoked by infantile chanting shows a serious lack of the level of maturity and judgement you would expect from a seasoned professional.

As an adult, a parent and a football fan, I think he behaved just fine after being called a peado from the fans in that area. If you think its fine for fans to hurl that sort of abuse (and then missiles) at a pro footballer for sliding on his knees 20 yards away from them, then maybe after your many years of being a fan you should reevaluate.
Can’t believe theres actually grown adults that are lifelong football thinking he done something wrong 😂 and think its fine he got stuff launched at him.

My first instinct on seeing Easton’s reaction in even getting the penalty was he’s going to wind up the NW section.
He made gestures towards the Norrie stand prior to even taking the penalty.
It was obvious having scored what he was going to do and he’s not the first to do so at EEP.
There were plenty of police and stewards there to tell him to move away but he was allowed to carry on.
Absolutely no excuse for the object(s) getting hurled from our section at all though.
No proper fan would wish to harm our club financially so these young fannies should take a good look at themselves.
I’ll say it again. Get a fine mesh net put in front of that section to stop objects reaching the pitch.

But that’s the thing, it wasn’t poor behaviour - it was him giving it back (and rightly so). Being called an paedo - of all things, would cause 99% of people to react, especially when they score a goal. The Raith fans didn’t provoke Todd anywhere near as much and he still decided to celebrate similarly to Easton. I cannot recall the Raith fans throwing missiles at him.. On top of that, our social media team had a field day with those pictures. By the way, I don’t think it’s a big deal that Todd done that. I thought it was hilarious! If you can’t take a player running to your stand and placing his fingers in his ears, you shouldn’t goto the football. In fact, you should probably attend anger management if that riles you up so much that you want to throw something at him. For the record I can’t stand Easton (and their keeper) on the pitch, but they’re probably decent guys off it. I’ve played football with a few guys who were absolute ars**oles on the pitch but the nicest guys you could meet off it.
Imagine the rage our fans would have with Chris Kane playing against us, with the fouls he wins and the times he throws himself to the ground for an easy foul. Luckily he’s on our side and we’d love Easton just as much for his antics if he was playing for us.
Just out of curiosity GG Riva, what would be your response if Easton decided to walk off the pitch along with the Raith team for being called paedo?

I`m with GG. Two wrongs etc, and adult professional sportsmen should be responsible enough not to stir trouble unnecessarily. The ref should have dealt with him and the polis should deal with the juvenile delinquents trying to commit assault by chucking missiles. It`s a shame that a few do the daft stuff, as the majority are clearly right behind the team, and they do enhance the atmosphere.

Thats the best suggestion I`ve heard yet. They did it as the precursor to the cage in the late 70s to stop bottles getting hurled between the opposing fans and it worked. The wee fandans will soon get bored.

I’m in two minds about it . That section is full of utter bams that have caused issues for years . There has been something thrown on the Park at every big game going back years.
At the same time he’s a footballer earning a comfortable wage and imo is well compensated for copping a bit of stick now and again.
Theres stick and theres calling a player a peado……
I must have missed that chant . I’m pretty sure no one called him a peado .

What if they sang something else then? Would that be OK?
He`s a dick. He knew fine well what he was doing. He knew he would get a reaction. He got a reaction, one that surely cannot have been completely unexpected. I`m unsure he even got hit with anything, but given he dives and cheats all the time it would not surprise me one bit if he didn`t.
In short, fk him. I wouldn`t want my kids to be coached by someone like him. Rat.
What difference does it make if he was hit or not ?
If he was called a peado considering he coaches kids I think going and putting his fingers in his ears isn`t all that bad. The bigger problem for us is if we get a fine. If folk can`t go to a game of football and act like a normal human then maybe they shouldn`t be allowed out unsupervised in public.
c'mon the pars

There was a chant calling him a paedo. I had no problem with him celebrating in front of the stand . The NW was swearing and throwing insults the whole game egged on by guys and men with a megaphone. There was also a police presence in front of the stand so how they failed to spot the coin throwers, I don`t understand. I sit just along from the boys and it`s usually a good atmosphere, but I guessed yesterday there would be some kind of trouble.

some fans need to get a grip of themselves. Can dish it out but cant take it.

Just out of curiosity GG Riva, what would be your response if Easton decided to walk off the pitch along with the Raith team for being called paedo?
I would back him 100%, Ross, even though I find his behaviour difficult to swallow. I`ve already said that the unacceptable behaviour of some of our young fans in the NW has no place in football.
Singing obscene chants and throwing objects at players is vile and no better than racist abuse. I remember applauding Kevin Prince Boateng for walking off when playing for Milan v Pro Patria. A section of the PP support are really neo Fascist thugs. As I recall, Boateng was threatened with disciplinary action by the Italian FA for booting the ball violently into the crowd where his abusers were massed. There was such an outcry from the more sensible commentators that no action was taken against the player.
Sadly, AFAIK, no action was taken against the morons who abused him, either.

I think people are over-reacting a bit here. Yes, it was a fud move, but he`s a footballer. As has been mentioned Todd has done the same in the past. Is it really that big a deal? Surely it makes us going on to win 3-1 all the more glorious?
For what it`s worth, he`s great with the kids and people calling him a paedo need to take a look in the mirror. I`m all for banter but that`s below the belt.

Stop blaming players for fans behaviour. A player celebrating in front of fans is as much banter as fans shouting at them for 90 minutes. Throwing items and uncalled for abuse is where the line gets crossed.
Of the banter had came up to the fans shouting and pointing then it’s different. But because you’ve had a few pints and smoked a vape it does not give you any excuse to throw an item at a human being. Do that in the street your arrested. Do it in a football stadium it’s ok cause your pals will hide you and think it’s funny. It’s not acceptable and anyone who excuses/condones it needs their head checked.
