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’m at war with all these posers and these frauds
I want ’em out…”
Pepe is a horrible PROFESSIONAL fitba player, no doubts whatsoever.
I’m delighted we are bringing through Kids in a Celtic Way, everyone knows that way.
When our players/Kieran were assaulted last season, the lack of leaping to protect our young Star worried me more than Words can say.

German Trance.
Ronaldo, Bale etc were too self centred to be team players.
They think Everything is about them as a Real Madrid team.
Ronaldo was rank rotten and should have been subbed early 2nd half.
Real were good 1st half. The guy from Brazil was good, Kroos was good, Teamplayers.
Excited about the Team that Brendan Burns will bring to the Table.
Believe.

“Don’t forget the phones to Celtic and the threats against Jinky’s life for the second life. I suppose if you can forgive that you can forgive anything.”
As I said- those that were responsible were never forgiven- they were different people at different times. I don’t blame their grandchildren.

The same could be said about the hun.
The “culture ” remains the same.
Over a week since BR has been confirmed now and the initial enthusiasm hasn’t subsided.
A masterful appointment from PL and DD.
The queues at the TO have swelled considerably based on eye witness reports here and elsewhere.
In a swift turnaround from a couple of weeks ago, I haven’t seen any posters talk of not renewing for next season.
So on a back of an envelope calculation:
Let’s assume ST sales will have improved by 10k, a reasonable figure when you hear that the upper levels are being made available again.
So 10k at £450 average ticket price.
4.5 MILLION POUNDS, in one signing.
More than enough to compensate BR and his incoming staff changes.
CP will be rocking and rolling next season.
Er ye are ni.
Golden State Warriors back from the brink.
Forget about the Lionel Messi’s and the Christiano Ronaldo’s.
Steph Curry is the greatest sportsman on earth.
After wasting a lot of time watching the UCL pantomime earlier…there is no comparison.
Soccer is brutal viewing nowadays , unless Celtic are playing,obviously.
Alternatives.
God bless the United States of America.

All the very best to Bundoran Bhoy the day !
Another beautiful morning here in a very sparsely populated Kos.
Seems the tourista follow the MSM and believe the place is heaving with refugees.
Bookings down 70% and not a sign of any migrants.

Good Morning Bhoys a dry morning here in Central Scotland.I found last nights UCL Final a bore highly paid footballers who in my opinion set out not lose and the loser because of that was entertainment. H.H.

Great article good read.
============================================
Agreed , Tony , but a tad one eyed.
I was very dissapointed with the CL final last night, park the bus keep the ball game is neither entertaining nor exciting, playing to win the game on a break away as both teams did, IMO, was boring, offence and attacking are becoming a thing of the past, it’s not an entertainment from the players and the team, it’s all about the coach, and how everyone has to defend, I’m afraid it’s not for me, I’d rather see a team at least trying to cross the half way line, at least three times last night At. Madrid where right at Reals 18 yard line, and proceed to pass it all the way back to they’r goalkeeper? Mental, just not good enough IMO.
braw post Tony….when my uncles came visiting For far they asked us kids to get them ginger from the shoppie to quench their hangovers….they were always surprised we brought them ginger ale.We used to wonder tae as they were dusty old bottles that never seem to get sold …
Differences can be subtle…smiley thing

Indeed it is a very good article, apropos what is still to this day an infection.
I think long injury spells have affected Toms fitness, he has quality and tremendously fast feet, my opinion, he’s a striker kinda like a big Messe :)

Hugh Burns is a well-known uber hun.
Owns a pub in Prestwick which is one of the worst hun holes in Ayrshire.
A good friend of mine, a good Tim, threatened to rip his head off a number of years ago during an altercation in the town.
Horrible individual.

I kinda thought the CL final was gonny be a toilet night when I sat and watched Alicia Keys at the start, wtf was that? It was funny, cringingly I mean.

sounds like a good place to stay away from, thanks for the info.
A bit of a non commital report from EK this morning as from this side of the window I’m not sure if it’s complete cloud cover or a heat haze. Dry and perfectly still, regardless. 9 holes of golf with my Bhoy at half 11 then an afternoon in the back garden, regularly making sure I stay *ahem* hydrated.

A sunny 26 degrees -well south of the Olive Line.
Love the hypocritical cheating Southern Europeans guff – fond memories of England v Italy in Euro 2012 and some guff in the English media re simulation – Italian media responded with a wee montage of 20 dives from England’s finest – Rooney / Gerrard etc .The latter’s dive v Andorra ( yes, Andorra ) was fabulous..
Off oot to laze on a sun lounger and eat grapes – way down south.
Another thing Dermot Desmond should have done.get our own Bus.tell Parks who is a Sevco fan.we will no longer acquire your buses.
S o T
Do you prefer your grapes peeled or unpeeled?
:-)
Currently drizzling here, only 18 degrees. 25 yesterday.
Buona giornata!
HH!!
