I could list many examples of fan behaviour not involving Rangers fans that could potentially fall foul of any strict liability measures. We could just tally it up over a season, create a league table and pro rate points deductions, 40 for the biggest offenders, 2 for the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how it would be applied, I still don't think it would be a fair or reasonable way to potentially punish clubs and fans for the actions of others that, for the most part, they have minimal control over. It would also be open to abuse, I feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would never work. You'd simply have fans infiltrating the support of a rival club and lobbing a bottle or whatever. It would happen, particularly if things were really tight at the top or the bottom. You could even pay someone with nothing to lose to do it if needs be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a better solution, strict liability with the maximum point deduction equivalent to how many titles you claim your club has won? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be open to abuse, I feel. If the stark choice is between doing nothing and suffering another hundred years or so of mass sectarian singing along with other assorted offensive behaviour, or closing stands/grounds and deducting points, I know which option I'd choose if I was an impartial football administrator. Strict liability would have little or no impact on 40 of our 42 senior clubs. It is only because the two clubs with the largest support are against strict liability that its implementation is constantly stymied. It would be like turkeys voting for christmas. I'd suggest it is only because you are a supporter of one of those two clubs that you demonstrate the same self-interest as your club. Ligue 1 in France recently deducted points from Marseille and Nice for events similar to last night's bottle throwing incidents. Where there's a will, there's a way.

bennett Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 celtic pressurising the SFA over referees (including Madden) is obviously paying off for them. CELTIC chairman Ian Bankier has said that the performance of certain referees in Celtic matches is a concern to him as he addressed questions from shareholders at the club’s AGM. Bankier was quizzed upon incidents involving officials Nick Walsh and Bobby Madden, with a flashpoint cited in Celtic's match against St Johnstone – which Walsh refereed – in which Cameron Carter-Vickers and Saints forward Chris Kane tangled and both received cautions, despite Kane seeming to be the aggressor. "That is a source of deep concern,” Bankier said. Bankier was then asked if the performance of referee Madden in Celtic’s visit to Pittodrie last month, where he awarded 27 fouls against Celtic despite Ange Postecoglou’s side having 61 percent possession, was also a worry. "Yes,” he replied. “You are always concerned about the referees' performance. We make representations on a regular basis to the chief executive of the SFA on refereeing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not a stark choice between doing nothing or strict liability. Clubs need to improve how they deal with these situations, none more so than my own. They have the power to take action against fans themselves (in conjunction with the police), they just need to get better at doing it. Your claim that strict liability would have little or no impact on 40 of our senior clubs I find a bit of an empty claim given some of the incidents we've seen over the years (one as recently as a fortnight ago): Dundee United fan, 35, charged with ‘assault’ after incident with Aberdeen’s Funso Ojo Hearts ban 'racist' fans after abuse of Motherwell star Christian Mbulu Motherwell announce ban for fan who threw missile at Rangers star James Tavernier Hibs fan who confronted Rangers captain James Tavernier on Easter Road pitch jailed Aberdeen fan banned from matches for striking Hearts player with microphone All of those incidents would likely be punishable under strict liability measures, regardless if the club take action or not. Would you seriously feel it is reasonable that you are punished for the actions of an idiot who is either short of a few braincells, steaming drunk or both? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobby Dossar Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Chonky said: Ok, your right, the ref was technically wrong. I was meaning morally. If ref had played on, hearts players should have stopped/kicked it out then (maybe they would have anyway). Regardless, you can't go up and score against a team when you win possession when a player pulls up injured like that - even though it would have been funny to watch the meltdown from Celtic fans! Have you watched the 1st goal in Man Utd / Arsenal game last night ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 47 minutes ago, AJF said: I'm not disputing the merits of Boyd behaving like a spoilt brat, but in what way can his comments be seen to be bigoted? 1. Berra tried to explain why it might be so difficult to call the decision in real time as the margins were so tight but was shouted down by Boyd. 2. Boyd tried as best as he could to get a reaction out of Petrov on quite a few occasions but failed. 3. At the end of the half time round up he demanded to know why the presenter didn't go back to him for his opinion on the goal , despite spending most of the time shouting down everyone who was trying to debate sensibly ..........................then smirked at the camera in that smug way he does. 4. There was very little chat on the game itself because Boyd kept wanting to go back to that incident . There were chances aplenty from both sides that they could have talked about . 5.He kept making sarcastic remarks about all the decisions Celtic get . Again glancing smugly at the camera. Basically He didn't have much positivity to take from what was an exciting , free flowing game. His main aim was to try to find a way why Celtic shoudn't have won without trying to hide his alliegience. When you try to force your opinion on others trying to debate sensibly, without even recognising the other opinion that is classed as bigotry . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but all of that just comes across as someone who is biased, not bigoted. Surely to be bigoted he would need to display prejudice against a group of people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
