Meadows Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'd have preferred this kind of robust policing at either of the old squirm's grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You can be charged for swearing? Seriously? ****s sake, I should be doing life in that case Don't mean to state the obvious but I think the swearing would have gone unnoticed by the authorities if it wasn't for the racial abuse part.

Ha, yeah, sorry I meant as a side note, not related to this story but it seems like swearing is a genuine offence. Suppose it's to stop people shouting the C word (not ******) in public...

Jambof3tornado Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think you will get away with calling someone a c u next tuesday but if you call them a black ****,then you are in bother.

Biffa Bacon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not condoning racial abuse for one second but..... the amount of secterian bile that spews out from the old firm every week and who is in court, some bloke from Dunfermline, unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any outsiders would point to Dunfermline as a club with a racism/sectarianism problem but they're making the effort to eliminate it completely. The Old Firm on the other hand do nothing about it, in fact if anything they encourage it. Well done to the Pars on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely the law of the land is applied equally to every citizen regardless of which football team they support. We will be anticipating a mass booking in the Glasgow courts over the coming weeks....no I didn't think so either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline have taken it upon themselves (if I'm reading the article correctly) to use plain clothes policemen to identify the protagonists more effectively. What are the chances of either of the uglies doing the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we do not need Strathclyde's finest to uphold the law, just wait until the old firm play in Dunfermline and this undercover cop can arrest a couple of thousand of them.... or will they be treated differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect Dunfermline to make a point of highlighting the Old Firm's behaviour. Not that the opinion of a 'wee team' is likely to make any difference to them mind.

Not that the opinion of a 'wee team' is likely to make any difference to them mind. Indeed, the point I was getting at..is that its not for the likes of Dunfermline or any other club to enforce the law, it the police Do we really need undercover rozzers to find the culprits? Sgt Andy Smith, of Fife Constabulary, said: "Racist abuse of players, or any person for that matter, is totally unacceptable and we will do all we can to root out the very small minority of fans who act in this despicable way. "The operation will continue at forthcoming home games and this arrest should act as a warning and deterrent to others." So is it just racism that is a problem? if so why do we need new legislation to deal with secterianism? I await with interest the old firm coming to East End....although I can guess the outcome... more bile and zero arrests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
