Happy Hearts Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Must be one very proud father. http://www.scotsman.com/news/dad-and-son-banned-from-cup-final-over-brawl-charge-1-2279528 FATHER and son have been banned from the Scottish Cup final after being charged over a brawl at Glasgow Central Station, which saw a man lose an ear. Hibs fans Andrew Blance, 47, and Jamie Blance, 25, received bail conditions barring them from attending the Hampden final against rivals Hearts, while Jamie was also banned from all football matches involving the Easter Road side. The pair appeared before Glasgow Sheriff Court following a mass fight with Ayr United fans on March 10. One man was taken to hospital as a result of the incident after a Scottish Cup quarter-final at Somerset Park in Ayr, between Ayr United and Hibs. A severed ear was found at the scene. Andrew Blance made no plea or declaration while Jamie Blance pleaded not guilty to the charges. It is understood 23 people have so far been charged following the punch-up. Police have remained tight-lipped over operations to prevent hooligan elements clashing when the rival Edinburgh sides meet in what will be a highly charged Cup final, but it is expected that potential flashpoints, such as Harthill Services on the M8, would see increased patrols on May 19. The News told last week how officers at Lothian and Borders Police would be working extra shifts over cup final weekend amid fears that football rivalry and all-day drinking could prove ?an explosive mix?. But today a former senior officer, who wished to remain anonymous, said intelligence gathering to pinpoint known football casuals would be under way, with identified hooligans then monitored by police. He said: ?There?s always a difficulty in putting a security and public order blanket on an event while keeping it light-handed and positive. ?There will be an intelligence exercise going on to identify who potential troublemakers are and they will be kept away from the ground if they are banned. If they arrive at the ground they will be supervised and monitored.? He added: ?A very small amount of people can cause a huge amount of trouble unless you are very careful?. Whilst admitting that the Edinburgh derby lacks the sectarian ferocity of an Old Firm game, the ex-police officer said areas of the Capital, and especifically Harthill Services, will be monitored. ?Harthill is the only stopping point between the Edinburgh and Glasgow and so it will be very well policed,? he said. ?They will be there in numbers and make sure there is no clash or potential clash between fans.?

Happy Hearts Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Exclusive: I want to guide my sons away from life of violence, says football thug Andy Blance Sep 23 2009 By Mark Smith NOTORIOUS football thug Andy Blance now faces a new fight - trying to steer his sons away from a life of football hooliganism. We revealed in yesterday's Daily Record how Blance, from the feared Hibs CCS gang, was approached by a gangster to call in a ?300,000 debt from a top Scottish international football star. Blance, once jailed for plunging an axe into the head of a rival, refused - claiming that his days as a criminal and football thug are behind him. But in his new book, Hibs Boy, he says he is reaping a bitter harvest from his days as Scotland's most notorious football thug. Two of his three sons, Kevin, 23, and Jamie, 22, are now sliding into the violent world of football gangs - with Andy desperate to see them take a different path. Blance, 42, said: "I am close to Kevin and Jamie, my two oldest boys. I brought them up in the faith - they are both fanatical Hibbys, just like their dad. "They are like me in another respect. "Both are fully paid-up members of the football hooligan brotherhood. Who was it said that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? "Some people might think that their involvement in the 'family business' makes me secretly proud. It doesn't. I didn't want them to follow in my footsteps and I worry constantly about what might happen. "For that reason I always phone them after a game, just to make sure they are all right. "When one of them got arrested I remember Margo pointedly asking, 'Where did he get that from, I wonder?'." Blance also has another battle on his hands, campaigning against anti-social behaviour and speeding drivers in his home town of Inverkeithing, Fife. He said: "I suppose I have become a kind of unofficial neighbourhood warden. I am talking here about anti-social behaviour. I won't stand for it and thanks to my reputation it is almost unheard of round our way. "If I didn't do it, no one else would. "The council and the Old Bill don't give a toss about people like us. "One of the most annoying - and dangerous - practices that I have tried to stamp out is speeding cars and buses. "Where I live there are lots of young kids, many of whom play in the street. "For the life of me I can't understand why drivers insist on doing speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour on our estate. In 2006, a child was knocked down and killed just a stone's throw from my house. "Do they really want to kill another one?" He added: "I often stand in the middle of the road and stop speeding cars. I then give the drivers a piece of my mind. They usually get the message. "Such are my powers of persuasion that violence has only been necessary once and a speeding bus driver was involved. "I just lost the plot, grabbed him by the throat and whacked him in the face. "Maybe next time he'll remember his Highway Code." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
