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.

Surely ones politics, religion taste in music etc is a choice for the individual and should be respected equally? I don’t judge a person, it’s not my right, they make decisions that’s best for them. I’m with The Big Yin the fact you want to be a politician should ban you from being one
Hat off to Rio Ferdinand who wants to educate a fan that made monkey noises towards him & was arrested.
He wants to.meet the fan to ‘educate him’

Dylan – a cult hero? Discuss
If you’ve seen the BT CL nights,where they show big moments in games, why could Sky Sports not do the same thing today?
Hot smoked @5:47….. not sure what your fondness for ernie has to do with my view, but thanks for sharing

Unquestioning, obsessive devotion for their idol is one thing in a music fan , it is a different thing altogether in the supporter of a political party that seeks to govern us.
Not hard for most people to grasp.
Not so easy if you are a member of a cult.
!!BADA BING!! on 23RD MAY 2021 7:20 PM
Because it couldn’t include the Huns, do I win a prize😂😂
To be a member of the cult do you need to join the party ?
asking for a friend.

SIXTY MILLION COVID JABS NOW GIVEN IN THE UK.
———–
och dont, your puttin the fear right intae me.
Our schools getting closed and people driven out of their homes, the churches emptied, then restrictive employment practices (how they gonny know anymore iof you dont have saint something’s on your cv), then the uni’s wont allow “our kind” to invent or research anymore.
I weouldnt be suprised if they insisted only Protestants get the vaccine first.
Was watching the Monaco grand prix today. Took me back to four years ago when i was on a cycling holiday from Nice to Genoa via Monaco. I somehow managed to enter the road tunnel system and saw very little of Monaco itself.
our friends in the other big hoose.

That this House notes the unprecedented upheavals caused by previous owners of Rangers Football Club; commends the current management and fans for their response in the aftermath of the past; acknowledges that Rangers, now playing in the fourth tier of Scottish football, has attracted over 38,000 season ticket holders and at home games over 45,000 attendances are the norm; and calls on the the Scottish football authorities to review their approach to restructuring football in Scotland to ensure competitive and attractive football.
Maybe he believes the world is only 6,000 years old an awe.

DUP MP Gregory Campbell has tabled a motion in Parliament calling on Westminster to congratulate Rangers clinching its 55th Scottish league title.
The Old Firm club were officially crowned champions for the first time in 10 years on Sunday after Celtic drew 0-0 at Dundee United.
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers side sit 20 points clear the top of the league with six games of the season to spare.

Sturgeon urges celebrating Rangers fans to ‘go home’
East Londonderry MP Mr Campbell said that as a lifelong Rangers fan, he was delighted on a personal level to see the club win its 55th title.
He added that given the club was forced to climb from Scotland’s third division after going into administration in 2012, the achievement of winning the top-flight title should be recognised by Parliament.

“Not only is this a massive achievement but record setting in so many ways,” continued Mr Campbell.
“The team has been undefeated this far in the league season and the earliest in the season that the Scottish title has been won in 119 years.
“It is right and fitting that Parliament sends its congratulations and marks this incredible effort for the players, management and backroom staff.”

Yeah, condemning PSG to 3rd qualifying rounds for non-champions. And will de-seed Celtic if we get past our first tie in 2nd qualifying round if Copenhagen win Danish Superliga tomorrow.

Squire,
Well that’s put a dampener on it…
I still want them to win though. Eddie Howe will have us purring by the third qualifying round and we will fear no one 👍🏼
Ernie,
Fancy joining a few bhoys for a pint soon? Would genuinely be interested to see if you match up to your keyboard persona.
Neilbhoy/Ernie,
I’d love to come along if possible.
We could maybe play a drinking game – take a drink every time the word “cult” is mentioned?
🥴😀
Speaking of pubs…
Big Jimmy, the weather is looking good for next Saturday and Sunday. Get yourself a beer garden booked.
Serie A
Meelan win at Atalanta
Napoli coached by Gattuso Hibs it at home to Verona and draw
Juventus win at Bologna and pinch 4th CL place from Napoli.
My earlier comment re: PSG was wrong. The top two in France Ligue1 are straight through to group stage. Monaco will finish 3rd and be potential 3rd round opponents for us
MAJESTIC HARTSON on 23RD MAY 2021 9:42 PM
Could get messy.
Cheers Squire,
That’s Lille won it. Congratulations Timothy Weah
Some very well developed Ladies playing for the Huns.Either that,or Castore sent them shorts a few sizes too small.

Once again,as the immortal Captain Mainwaring was prone to say
“Frankly,Jones,you are wandering into the realms of fantasy there”.
One more sleep…
…hopefully 😬

RAW & ILLITERATE HATRED.
Rhiannon Spear, SNP convener of Glasgow’s education committee shows the hatred peddled by all of the SNPcult – “We hate the UK”
*They hate the people who bail them out year after year – £BILLIONS year after year – this year it will be TWENTY-FIVE BILLION POUNDS.
*They hate the people who make it possible to spend £2500 per person more than England – EVERY PERSON IN SCOTLAND GETS £2500 extra because they are in the UK.
*They hate the people who provide Tax Credits, without which substantial numbers of their voters could not make ends meet.
*They hate the people who financed the furlough scheme that kept families, jobs & business alive in Scotland
*They hate the people who have given them the most successful vaccination programme on the planet.
Their hate says more about them and those who support them, than those to whom they direct their hate.
Nationalists need hate figures to exist….other Nationalist examples are available.
So, it’s ‘let’s all get EL’ night, is it?
And by the way, St Stivs, an SNP MP has advised the Secular Society on this.
‘Keep chipping away’ I’d his advice.
