24 hours after a fan assaulted Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, the English criminal justice system was able to arrest, charge, try and jail the 27-year-old assailant. No politicians, football administrators, or clubs were involved. Nor was alcohol, the perennial bogeyman. Days were not spent discussing Strict Liability. Only the police and courts were required.
We know lots about the perpetrators. There are many women at football now, but these people are always male. There are many people of colour at games, but not among the offenders, this is a white crime. And, they feel entitled to be violent by throwing coins, bottles or punches.
West Midlands Police and the Birmingham Magistrate’s Court have shown us how to react. Their action will not end what currently ails football, but it is appropriate. The politicians can ponder at their leisure why an underclass of white males erroneously feel entitled to carry out violent acts, on our streets as well as our stadiums.
Calling this a football problem, when it is obviously societal, will not wash. It is not new either, violence like this has come and gone in waves for generations.

Well- that means I can watch the semi-final game at Hampden.
Paul67- you have to get rid of that Sony ad- worse than any of the others you have used in that it shuts off the screen completely and arbitrarily.
Luvly jubbly!
Aw deary me ,such a shame ,still they can concentrate on securing second place now

Always happy when Sevco lose but it does mean the semi-final has just become harder.

Sheep will give us a hard game but they will miss shinnie.

Disagree, we only have a team to beat, rather than a team and officials.

Tremendous
Is registration for the ramsdens cup closed ?
Just on the off chance. Probably nobody knows but here goes.
What was the Huns score ?
Needn’t have bothered with my apology to Kevin Clancy he bottled Morelos’s second yellow for a bottom clenching embarrassing dive, late on.
Thanks to Partick Loyal Periscope for letting us enjoy their misery
Schadenfreude CSC
Where Are The Penalties=WATP.
According to one of their sites……..fighting in the club deck,met by more fight than the team!
Is Saturday a distant memory?????
Unfortunately we have got the better of the two teams in the semi.
No Huns at Hampden no Huns at Hampden Ye Ha
Since that 2nd rangers club got promoted no amount of Lanark Shire refs have been able to help them.
They are not the people.
Utter shite is what they are.
Our semi against Aberdeen will be testing, very testing. We will have to be at our best.
Mind you, Shinnie’s absence will damage them. Apart from anything else, they’ll miss his energy and drive.
That has to be a compliance officer job for Morelos, don’t let our media blank the incident.
That blatant cheating has to be punished.
Whaaaaa delighted we don’t have to deal with their cheating next though.

” Disagree, we only have a team to beat, rather than a team and officials.”
I was going to say good point but the officials will now favour Aberdeen .They can then claim that their cheating is balanced :-)
