Strict Liability, for you, but not for me

454

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.

    Was off all day yesterday and only caught up in train this morning, was there drink involved?

  2. Thanks BT, but I was supposed to leave Germany on April 30th so cancelled my Telekom contract, therefore no conventional internet. Presently using iPad with pay as you go SIM card – not cheap.

     

    When I get back to Glasgow I will take your advice.

    I kid you not der bomber actually said that ‘Mark will look to Joey Barton in the heat of the moment for his experience’ and asked what the boys from Accrington would bring he replied ‘bags of energy and bags of energy’.

  4. I’ve been reading some of that Simon Rowntree’s Tweets from Wembley. Either the England fans are no better than the huns or if he is making it up he is a complete tosser. Tweets about bananas and monkey noises, and some unsavoury stuff about wee Madeleine McC.

    POG – that Simon Rowntree fella is a troll, the paper he claims to write for doesn’t exist and he tweets all sorts of random shit from different accounts, JF did an article on him a while back if I remember correctly.

    There have been times when John James has rambled a load of nonsense and he has got some things spectacularly wrong, have to say though since the cup final he has absolutely nailed them for what they are in every imaginable way. If you have a spare half an hour have a look at his blogs from the last week or so, it’s good reading.

  9. Pog- don’t listen to BT, that Showcase is a porn channel…. or so I’ve heard :-(

     

     

    Apparently hours of hun-reruns on it anaw.

     

     

    Let us know when you hit town and we’ll sort you out. HH

    Zlatan will not be signing for Celtic or Manchester United as neither can complete with an offer from Rot-Weiss Oberhausen , stadium capacity 1,426.

     

     

    Their offer includes:

     

     

    – creating a monarchy specially so that he can be proclaimed king of the city

     

     

    – renaming a local beer after him

     

     

    – opening a local swimming pool which closed 20 years ago for him to use when he wants

     

     

    However any suggestions as to the Glasgow equivalent of this offer would be greatly appreciated to keep us in with a chance.

  11. HRVATSKI JIM

     

     

    We could make Zlatan the first Glasgow Pope, creating 3 living Popes. Can you ever get too many?

     

     

    The deeds of Ayebrokes could be handed over to him and he could close it down at his leisure and also throw in Ra Bommur as his personal bodyguard.

     

     

    Free bevy for life in the Brazen Head and a chance to read TD67’s posts before the are ‘hot off the press’

     

     

    And enough Tunnock’s Tea Cakes to sink a battleship.

     

     

    We could also offer to rename Buckfast ‘Zlatfast’

     

     

    If that won’t tempt him then there is no pleasing him.

    Sitting here in my palatial mansion,in a secret location on the north side of Dublin sipping a glass of rioja in my T. Shirt and shorts, my long suffering wife at my side as we watch the sun go down on another beautiful summer day.

    I’m vexed this evening, for I buy my socks at BHS and I hear they’re going into liquidation.

     

     

    I’ve contacted the liquidators to ask ‘how much to buy the history?’

     

     

    If I receive a response, I will publish it here :-)

  14. FIELDOFDRAMS

     

     

    Sorry mate, I already bought the history for a quid!

     

     

    New flagship store opening soon, The BHS…….

     

     

    old staff tuping over as wee speak.

     

     

    The BHSFA have ratified the deal and we will be listed on AIM in the near future and we plan to delist around the audited accounts period of the financial year.

     

     

    Not to worry tho we are BHS now, BHS then and BHS forever.

  15. Babasonicos71 – aye and we could see a return of bonnets to Celtic Park – Zlatcaps… they’d fly off the shelves!

     

     

    Especially wi’ the number o’ baldies about these days :-)

    I’ve tried this several times before. Some Celts don’t take it in.

     

     

    JohnJames is a hun skank. This hun hates sevco plc chairman david king only because JJ’s company, MediaHouse, was booted out of a £600,000 annual PR contract with Charles Green’s Sevco when MediaHouse stuck with the wrong plague.

     

     

    Lurking huns, on we go, to 6IAR.

    Bomber used to rip ma knitting in his playing days, when Paul Elliot was at Celtic.

     

     

    In games against thems Bomber had the job of picking Elliot up at corners. It was probably fairly tame due to modern marking at corners, but Elliot would take up his starting position, just inside the 18 yard box, at the far corner to where the corner was being taken.

     

     

    Bombers starting position was standing directly in front of Elliot, facing him. He did not even look at the corner being taken, as this was all behind him, and just blocked Elliot.

     

     

    I never seen a referee pull him up for it……………..not once.
