No problem there....do it at the football though and this is the reaction from Police. The SNP can show support for Palestine and it's no problem....do it at the football though... Kenny McAskill wants to honour one of the leaders of the Irish Easter 1916 uprising...Edinburgh man, James Connolly. Sing his praises inside a football ground though and you can end up with a conviction. These are just a couple of basic stories examples. There are loads more. I'm sure if you contact FAC they will provide you with even more which will have you shaking your head.

williemillersmoustache Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I didn't say I was there. Where you at the Celtic v Rangers game? So you're saying you didn't see anything then? I just took it from your assured tone you had some kind of eye witness testimony to back up your nonsense. Clearly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 So you're saying you didn't see anything then? I just took it from your assured tone you had some kind of eye witness testimony to back up your nonsense. Clearly not. Why do you have to be there to have seen worse? Are you then saying you were at the Celtic v Rangers game then. Same argument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Why do you have to be there to have seen worse? Are you then saying you were at the Celtic v Rangers game then. Same argument! No, Aberdeen v Rangers and Celtic v Rangers are different arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, the whole nation saw the shame game hence the act. Just wondering what it is you are referring to? BTW, you may or may not have realised this but there is a common denominator here which doesn't really back up your pish, but it does back up mine.

You know the one where your hard casuals ran out onto the track to attack that Rangers supporting pensioner! Oh and that shame game you speak about with Handbags in the technical area is a bit rich since your old manager, auld Grampa Broon went and assaulted the Motherwell chairman...ha-ha.

Was it because of the T-shirt or was he being shouted at for some other reason?) plus an entirely hypothetical situation re James Connolly. If someone was arrested, charged and convicted merely for shouting James Connolly's name, obviously that is abhorrent. But you are going to have to provide me with something a bit more solid. Sorry.

Couldn't give you a red neck with a blow torch. Is hypocrisy your middle name? So you're saying the one isolated incident that you can recall as well as a minor disagreement between Mr Brown and the Motherwell chairman is worse than anything you've seen, heard or seen reported at an OF game.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Gid yin. One isolated incident? Your fans smashed up the seats at Celtic Park. They came out the subway at Ibrox and attacked Rangers fans. They were involved in fighting in Madrid and Gronigen. They have threw missiles at opposition players (happened against Celtic at Pittodrie). Your fans had a go at Strachan up there too and needed stewards to get involved. You are living in a different planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crilly Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So it would seem that 2 people (one going to a football match and one going somewhere else) sitting together on a train or bus, could say or do something exactly the same but only the football fan would be apprehended? Is that what the Act says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The brutal truth is that if Celtic and Rangers fans had a bit of self-policing over the years, if the clubs in question hadn't played laughable lip-service to tackling sectarianism and if police in stadia had treated them in line with other fans - this flawed act simply wouldn't exist. 'Bad behaviour' has been in decline in football for decades and, by 2012, football was very safe and abuse-free (largely). There may have been the vestiges of a singing problem but that is/was trivial and is/was an implementation issue rather than an issue of law. But if this law wasn't there you could still be arrested under current legislation, if a policeman deemed it was liable to lead to a breach of the peace, or however the "catch all" is worded. 'Breach' still needs to show there was a peace issue for a successful prosecution. This act simply needs someone to say that a 'reasonable person' could think something offensive whether any 'reasonable person' witnessed said offense or not. It's like doing someone for assault for shadow boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
