The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act (20

D.o.F

That's your new nickname Rebel.

 

Nice sig.

 

More Rangers fans have been charged under this law than Celtic fans. FACT.


Not one which FAC will acknowledge though, and to be fair I would expect no less from them.

 

Their response will be those Rangers fans would have been arrested anyway. But fewer Celtic fans would have been.

Their point will be based on the fact that technically the things they do are non sectarian. This is where the issue lies to me

Its whether just because its non sectarian it should be allowed. A law of its own to stop it is harsh - but the law was only needed because they wouldnt stop of their own accord

 

This

The bill was created as an offensive (1) to reduce offensive (2) behaviour by offensive (3) individuals.

1. An organised campaign
2. Behaviour that may cause resentment
3. Smelly & repulsive

 

You've got it Anp, their whole argument is that they (The Celtic fans behind this) are different because their songs are not 'sectarian', and they refuse to accept that some of their songs are 'offensive', the logic being that if it's not sectarian than it cannot be offensive.

 

Dear God

More Rangers fans were arrested BEFORE this act

Christine Graham wanted it to be used to even up arrests, therefore its been used to target a group of Celtic fans who were not being arrested previously

It only proves Sevco have a higher amount of arseholes in their support

 

As if by magic

 

It's true, huffing paint thinner while pregnant can cause birth defects.

You've just defeated your own argument, more Rangers fans arrested before AND after the act.

 

No it isn't

The logic is that just because it is offensive doesnt mean you should go to prison for it

The political argument is being used to show the hypocrisy of the people who pushed through the bill

 

So these numbskulls are dragging Celtic FC through the mud in order to prove a point, in a way that is entirely ******ed, all the while claiming to be die-hard fans?

This is even funnier than reading the ****e Rebel spews.

 

I don't agree with drugs laws and adoption laws but I don't steal weans and punt smack.

 

Firstly I'd have thought the main punishments dished out will not be prison. Yes that is one of the penalties available but its also one of the penalties available for speeding. The reality is most people get a fine/warning/slap on the wrists

Now why shouldnt you get in trouble if you are continually conducting offensive behaviour just because you are at the football?

 

It would be good if you did, just to make a point.

 

Getting lifted by the polis, being reviled in national media outlets and causing embarrassment to your fellow supporters. I not sure what point they are attempting to make but the one they're getting across is "Duuuuuurrrrnnnhhhh, we are utter ****ing spastics"

 

You should release a protest song. That'll show em

 

How no?

Theres loads of dosh to be made from smack.

Especially when selling it to orphan kids.
