Being responsible is not always easy, especially when it comes to running a football club, where playing to the gallery offers vastly better short-term returns, and no doubt a rush of endorphins.
If your fans are engaged in an activity which regularly brings them to the attention of the courts, and your club into disrepute, it doesn’t matter what you think of the apparent offense. You may chant an offending song in the shower every morning month, but your only public comment on the matter can be to chastise and urge fans to desist.
Clubs in Scotland voted against what is known as strict liability. This means they are not held responsible for transgressions by their fans – and who wants to be held responsible for the actions of others who protected from personal liability by hiding in a crowd.
Part of the deal on not having strict liability is that clubs must demonstrate that they take all steps necessary to dissuade and educate their fans from carrying out criminal or regulatory offenses. It’s simply not possible for club to tell fans their illegal actions were justified, as this would place the club itself in the firing line.
The nonsense following the Scottish Cup final is all background noise as far as we are concerned, but be aware the contagion will spread beyond those you could consider highly dysfunctional operators.
Solving Kids Cancer in memory of Oscar Knox
Our own Bundoran Bhoy will run the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday on behalf of Solving Kids Cancer. He has put in an enormous amount of work ahead of the event, for a cause which you are only too familiar with.
26 miles is a long way to run. You can give him some encouragement on his Just Giving page.
Good luck, Tommy.

I believe there is some hilarity to come.
As you say…Sevconia is a busted flush.
I want to see them squeal:)
HH
A follow up phone call to those officials by a member club may be useful too.
just to point out anything interesting.
I don’t understand the optimism surrounding resolution 12.
The resolutioners are due immense praise , but I see nothing to make me think that the advert
Will have any effective outcome.

Jamesgang ty brother

Never bought a paper since that Herald one
Looks like I will not need to buy it again, good news :-)

Thank you but just happy to help support Oscars family and SKC

You are right, the Res 12 guys are due loads of praise for what THEY have achieved.
The ad is simply a tool in their box that has its uses.
Before it was mentioned there was a media shutdown on Res 12 and the Offshore report.
That is starting to change already.
I can tell you we are facing an incredible level of resistance.
More tomorrow, if you’re quick you might even see it!
It’s getting like an adult version of Snapchat on here…..
What if the blame goes on McBeth and Ogilvie,which is likely,as they have both left the building? Where do we go?

Scroll down to the bottom and vote for the greatest manager , big Jock trailing with 1%

I attended a wedding a few years ago where the priest made mention and gave praise at the gusto in which one of the hymns was sung.
Little did he know that the choir was trying to drown out the ones who were singing a slightly different version to the give me joy hymn :-)
Is anyone willing to share tonights post on res12 the herald. 404error and possible virus coming up
HH
Utlr
And there was me thinking that the “1:53” thing was just a wind-up.
Thankfully, I managed to see tonight’s post before it vanished.
HH
Can’t believe that 4 years down the line those bassas still expect us to buy into their ‘same club’ bull-shit.
Res12 will, hopefully, change that narrative.
The media’s role in this has been shameful. Their demise along with their favourite wee bigoted group of knuckledragging scum can’t come soon enough.
I write it out in verse
Canamalar, Auldheid and BRTH
Now and in time to be
Wherever green is worn
Are changed, changed utterly
A terrible beauty is born
Alright…. a tad melodramatic, but they have carried the fight.

!BADA BING!
Nope. Gone,never to be seen again.
Are we there yet?
Just an update, new seat arranged, in section 108, any CQNers around row CC, saw hello.
WC, you are an auld tease, looking forward to the next few days.
Keep the ole snippets coming, and let us know where and when to look in the MSM.
Bundoran Bhoy,
Congratulations. I remember my first marathon – Glasgow 1984 – and I know the emotions that you’re experiencing. I was “high” for a week afterwards. Even drinking every day didn’t help lol. I got hooked and only gave up running two years ago after my cardiologists ordered me. Even now, reading your story I am jealous. I hope you keep it going.
Well done again and HH.

So anyone who tries to better their take home salary,in your books is a “Slimeball”
Dear oh dear oh dear,WTF has happened on here.Too many sounding like Hun Media followers.
………………………………..
Yeah. That’s my opinion of him. He dissed Celtic. Get over it. You often sound like a Hun Media sorta guy to me too.
Art of War, liked that mhate.
If Uefa take note of adverts, same club myth blown, or club blown, their choice.
Just an opinion.
YOGIHUGHES
Ty buddy deffo still on a high as it’s something I never thought I could do.
Really enjoying the running and will be keeping it up. Few more runs for Oscar and SKC planned this year and then see what runs for next year again
HH
Art of War don’t forget morrisey 23 mate he was on board along with canamalar, Auldheid and BRT&H and is most deserving of our gratitude.

Im like you , Im usually a glass half full kinda guy but where res 12 is concerned ..lets just say im very very cautious of getting my hopes up. Way too many times over the past 4 years them and more importantly the SFA seem to wriggle off the hook , nothing seems to stick to them . For the sake of scottish football I hope this finally nails them but I suppose all we can do is hope that justice is finally done . Well done the res 12 guys btw hat doffed in your direction
