The Daily Record’s political editor today published information obtained from the Scottish Government by a Freedom of Information Request, where Police Scotland note Newco “actively engaged” supporters to break lockdown rules in March this year.
Following Newco’s game with St Mirren on 6 March, Police Scotland received assurances from Newco that they would encourage fans to stay at home. The Police memo stages, “Whilst assurances were given this did not materialise.”
The Police go on to stage Newco made “numerous statements encouraging celebration, including from the manager (Steven Gerrard).”
“Both the Manager and players actively engaged from within the stadium with fans gathered in disgraceful displays of encouragement, in solid opposition to the public safety issues arising, to their responsibilities given the privileges under which football operates, and to the commitments they had made around public communications.”
The Government should have acted on this information in March. Football privileges were being actively flouted by one club but it took further incidents this month before Nicola Sturgeon felt it necessary to take on Newco. This is in stark contrast to her grabbing the mic. when Celtic followed her own rules during their trip to Dubai.
You will see not contrition from Newco. Instead, they will deflect and distract. Let them sink in their own sewage.
Gangster clubs operate across Europe. They stir-up identity sentiment among brutish fans and intimidate politicians who need to fish in the same identity waters. It takes brave political leadership to stop the rot.

We’ll now see if it was contract clauses and bonuses was delaying an announcement.
I’m not holding my breath
Go tell
Neither am I
Gene and if it was over bonuses then questions need answered as to why we would not pay the bonus to get our man in place earlier.

I’ve always been sceptical about the bonus issue – but we’ll see.
So you do have a sense of humour
you would have too watching most of our displays this season.
Beginning to think it was never going to be EH. We’ll soon see.
Another Monday morning lookat towards the stock exchange.

The recent Kano Foundation fundraising had hope to reach £20000 to help buy season tickets for the children they take to games .
A total of over £61,000 has been raised by our support from one end of the world to another to help this fantastic organisation .

Dont say that scares the shit oota me………he’d get his hauns caught in the biscuit tin annaw!
come on hibs ffs
saints and hibees look leggy now
John Wayne was big leggy btw!
gtf
what an almighty save
Out of the possible signings for next season, Rooney has made the best impression, McCann has been poor. The Hibs players Porteous, Doig, Nisbet and Boyle have all been poor.
Rooney looks tough as well.

The alternative is perennial hard right Tory rule and English nativism.
———————————-
In my opinion, it doesn’t have to be.
– You are a btit nationalist
A revitalised Scottish Labour Party under Sarwar
– your racist vermin in brexit despise people like Sarwar….is it not only a few weeks since you were calling labour members “commies”
A Labour Party pushing for distinctly Scottish solutions to Scottish problems, but with the strength and financial support of the UK economy.
– what strength? what suppoert? last time ” the commies” were in charge they left the country penniless and bank- ruot
Once the Damoclean threat of independence, which as we all know now, even the SNPcult know, has no coherent economic case, is lifted, we can give jobs, business, health, education and all social issues, our undivided attention. Constitutional issues can be consigned to the dustbin of history, where they belong. We can then rebuild after Covid and the long period of SNP navel-gazing, incompetence & corruption.
Get you unionist and your fellow brexit vermin and we will see? your in a cult with all your farage rent boys
There is hope – independence is a dead-duck….even a catalogue of lies in the “thick’ White Paper of 2014 couldn’t convince a majority. So there is definitely no chance now with the disappearance of oil-revenue and an increasing reliance on fiscal-transfers from the UK to cover the deficit.
-not a word bout brexit in 2014?
Let’s get the SNPcult out of Holyrood – uncover their corruption and misconduct in public office and open the books for all to see
=look to london for its inculcated corruption .
its there
you can be the cat and westminster rula lenska
your not even a socialst.
a defined brexit fleg waver
Congratulations to St Johnstone. The 2nd most decorated club in Scotland in the last decade.

Hibs ” STAR” striker Kevin Nesbit goes missing in action in Scottish Cup Final ( like others in the Hibs line up today), some on here have suggested Celtic should sign this Guy….NOT for me….and not just after todays poor show…No harm to the lad..but NOT good enough for Celtic imho.
I cant see him giving any Euro opponents sleepless nights…The GRIFF would have been a better option for Scotland and the Euros…again imho ?

In george square with my wife ,snp rally going on , no social distancing. them pesky covid rules eh!!
Labour Party in Government in Scotland……with The USELESS Jackie Baillie and others making decisions…NO Thanks ?
Anar Sanwar appears a nice and sensible Guy on one hand, but BEFORE the recent Election his Main Theme was…..” Lets work together on issues that UNITE us….NOT issues that DIVIDE us” ?
In my personal view, Mr Sanwar had that the ” WRONG” Way round…Surely working together on DIVISIVE Issues that Impact on Scots…was/is a far more Positive Road to go down ?
The issues that may ” Unite” us, surely do NOT need as much work than any issues that ” divide” us ?

Agreed on the Hibs Stars – I wouldn’t have any of them in a gift.
They brought a whole new meaning to ‘invisible’ today
Big Jimmy
I agree that Nisbet. Porteous, Doig and Boyle were poor today. I think the St Johnstone manager Davidson got his tactics spot on and nullified the Hibs stars. Saint Johnstone first stopped Hibs playing and then expanded and took the lead. They should have scored more. Middleton missed a penalty and Rooney should have scored a second. all in all worth winners.
In the battle of the managers Davidson won over Jack Ross with superior tactics and game plan,
Interesting for Celtic.

Spot on.

was it not an anti-lockdown protest?
has there ever been a pro-lockdown protest?
how would that work – would they all turn up then turn round and go right back home again?
or would the evening times headline be “Group of zero attend pro-lockdown protest”?
so many questions
