The Scottish Government yesterday suggested the SFA act unilaterally to introduce Strict Liability on the game, making clubs liable for the actions of their lunatic fringe, or else the government would impose measures. This is a curious stance for a government who are not prepared to accept ANY liability for their own lunatic fringe.
When the lunatics in charge only see other people’s lunatics, we’re all in trouble. And it should be noted, lunatics inhibiting a democracy cause vastly more damage than football fans fighting on a field once every 36 years.
The notion of Strict Liability in itself is a separate question, but I have serious concerns at the increasingly right wing, and selective, attitude to law and control at Holyrood.
If you want to impose Strict Liability on football, accept if for yourself first. Then come back after a year’s experience and talk to us about football. This, of course, will never happen. Not all lunatic fringes are equal.

Assume the BBC are stating that I’ll still be able to use my BHS Clubcard as it’s only the holding company that will be liquidated?
Will Craigy Bhoy be pushing for recordings to be admissible in his defence? Fingers crossed
Craigy is last man standing
James Doleman @jamesdoleman 2m2 minutes ago
Latest from High Court. Craig Whyte is now the only accussed on the indictment.
Watch him sing like a bird,he will take everyone with him ,Murray,Reagan the lot
Notwithstaning the difficulty in standing up a complex case, the cynical observer might infer from the successive dismissal of charges against defendents in the “Rangers Fraudco” trial that there is little appetite amongst key influencers to have the shabby story told in open court.
Can anyone help?
Which tv channel(s) are SPFL games on next season?
Is it just sky? Or are BT still showing some?
Thanks.
THE BATTERED BUNNET
I wonder if David Murray still keeps in touch with his old Rangers chums?

“SPL(sic) will look farcical when Rangers(sic), Aberdeen, Hearts and ourselves are deducted point after point.”
———————————————————————————
What? The SPFL look farcical?
We can’t have that, eh?
It’s not as if their official website has a 4 year old club listed as having been founded in 1872, with over 100 ‘Honours’ to their name, or anything.
Now that would be a farce.
A farce that no managerial appointment can alter.
No Al Farcismo!
Hail Hail!

Don’t forget to click on ‘Honours’ for Fool Farce Effect!

Unless they’re bringing in a handicap system not sure why you have tried to implicate us in this.
You don’t like Celtic fans, do you?
You just can’t help the mask slipping every so often, subtle yet over time it becomes clear as day.

Fair do’s,bud.
You can maybe aim yer broadsides at those who deserve it now.
HB-all live games split between Sky and BT for next couple of seasons at least mate.
Wondering if there is a ‘quid pro quo’ for the dropping of charges in Fraudco trial – e.g. in exchange for testimony.
Apart from a passing interest in watching thieves fall out, the shrinking Fraudco trials have little or no interest to us.
No matter what the findings of who did what to whom produce, the only matter of concern to us is what the SFA/SPL did in their post Liquidation facilitation of Oldclub/Newclub(Incorporated).
Anything else is a sideshow.
Wondering if Guardian Res 12 is not know a goer – e.g. ‘dead in the water’
Wondering how may ST have been sold – e.g. over 40k
If you must commit a crime, and you wish to avoid prosecution, a convoluted and complicated financial fraud seems to be the one to chose.
In the UK at least.
Wondering what player net-migration will be at Celtic Park – e.g. 6 in/12 out
Trad88,
Do you seriously think that if Strict Liability is introduced to Scottish football that Celtic won’t be cited at some stage under the rule?
I would perhaps go as far to say that we would be first in the dock.
Only once, as far as I know, has a ground been closed due to fan trouble.
Guess which ground it was.
How interesting!
You can get last season’s Championship table on the SPFL website, but not the Premiership.
Surely not because they don’t want to show how a club was deducted 3 points for a game in which they played improperly registered players, eh?
From memory, they had a wee Gaul beside the Club’s name anaw. The Asrerix Years right enough!
They’ve still got this on the archive though.

No Al Farcismo.
Wondering what next issue to beat Peter Lawwell over the head with will be – e.g. ‘heated bonus’ or ‘ performance driveway’
Wondering whatever happened to Mr Pastry?
*Asterix.
Wonder what Resolution 13 will be – e.g. Jeanette Findlay or Leanne Dempster for CEO
Mats
I don’t think you’ll be far off with those numbers. I suggested 5 in and double figures out.
Billy
I thought you’d be outside court today with a lot of rotten eggs?
Oh and something to throw at Green , Whyte and co :-)
Tell troll troll your shit gently on the blog
Merrily merrily merrily merry life is such a drag

How about continuing to beat him over the head with failing to contradict the same club narrative?
That is, after all, the most important issue involved the whole pathetic farce.
Beatbhoy,
I can’t get access to any table on their website.
Weird.

Wondering how it is possible for someone to pick his nose, eat it while wiping his bum with the same hand and type at the same time?
Just wondering?

H’es been chouxed away – he’scone – he’s toast – joined the upper-crust – been flattened out – has risen to new heights – ran out of puff – has fingers in some new pies.
Blackburn fans start a petition to have Owen Coyle sacked after 2 days…..
MOONBEAMSWD@11:03 – Well you should know – why not share it with us?
thomthethim for Oscar OK on 3rd June 2016 10:52 am
Be specific – list the sectarian songs that will see us deducted point after point.
You mention ‘fan trouble’ – again, you’re going to need to be a little more specific than that.
