Who Counts The Fucking Rocks?

This is priceless. This piece of paper was doing the rounds on social media yesterday and purports to show how the Disciplinary Committee of the ISC makes its decisions when it comes to fines.

If fans set off one flare or smoke bomb the club get fined Rp 10,000,000. Between two and ten flars/smoke bombs etc the fine is doubled and if there are up to 10 instances then be prepared for a fine of Rp 30,000,000!

A maximum of five flashes from laser beams costs Rp 10,000,000!

Right, now on to throwing things. Football fans in Indonesia love throwing plastic water bottles and rocks and the ISC are fully aware of this. Throw up to 10 bottles or cans full of drinks and the club gets a fine of Rp 10,000,000. But if the bottle, or can is empty, the fine is increased by 50%. Why? I don't know!

Wanna throw rocks? Fine. There is a fine for that. Throw up to 10 rocks and it will cost your favourite team Rp 10,000,000. Now I understand the story where following the pitch invasion at Gresik recently police were investigating the crime scene. They were actively looking for rocks that could be used as evidence.

As anyone who has ever been anywhere near a stadium can tell you there are rocks and stones everywhere. How to decided if one was thrown in anger or just used by a child making a place to hide his toy cars? No doubt DNA could be used?

Pitch invasions are more expensive. PS TNI fans invaded the pitch in large numbers to attack Gresik fans and they could in theory face a fine of Rp 20,000,000 per person up to Rp 50,000,000. If the committee takes any action at all.

Titter while we may, it does beg the question...how do other countries deal with issues of crowd disorder
