Scotland's Shame


Recommended Posts

Strict liability would be in place now if clubs had confidence in it working properly. It would have been voted through at previous SFA AGM - even if several dozen clubs voted against.

Most voted against as they fear small clubs will be hammered over minor/exceptional offences, so the authorities "are seen to be doing something", while principal offenders are avoided.

Whether accuracy of this fear would be better or worse if instead wielded by police, courts or councils? Hard to say.


Certainly the offence behaviour at football arrests and where the anti-sectarian police section(can’t remember what they were called) were never proportional to with actual offences. IIRC ayr were highly watched for both, and whilst theirs been some bad behaviour it was never like rangers/Celtic. Yet they got the same scrutiny.

Not any authority has actively tried to stop Celtic/rangers fans. The 3/4 visits a season have been seen as accepted ‘get them in and away, let them away with signing etc but let’s not provoke them‘ with a harder line taken to other clubs to try and make sure it’s not 9-10 weekends a year they need to tolerate, dealing with the root problem has never been addressed.
