Maq Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Stewart Regan suggested on twitter that the SFA and Police are unable to act on sectarian singing, unless it's in one of their competitions - hence no action from the league cup semi final. Have a look at his twitter timeline from last night if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doric Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The establishment have given up. Bigots win again. Looks like they will never be beaten. Sad state of our society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Surely clubs can be given fines or expelled or banned from competitions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What absolute cop out bollox. Any associated club can be punished for the behaviour of their fans at anytime. Or at least should be, regardless of competition. This really is beyond a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Someone made a good point about the (SFA) compliance officer and the league cup on his Twitter. Perhaps they can't issue a competition specific punishment for the league cup? But they can take action, but won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Surely clubs can be given fines or expelled or banned from competitions? They probably can if it's any other club. For the sake of Scottish football and Scottish society long bans for both of them for every offence should be dished out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peever1745 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The police were standing facing the crowd during many renditions of the famine song but took no action. They must be under someones orders to do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) there where plenty of arrests on Sunday. Police need to enforce the law. Problem is the Scottish Govt have not listed what songs are offensive and thankfully they dont use the TAMB as a barometer for being offended otherwise football stadiums would be silent Edited February 7, 2015 by EddardStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think all future OF games should be played behind closed doors and each incidence of sectarian singing should result in a game played behind closed doors.And every Aberdeen game should be behind closed doors for singing their Ibrox disaster ditty and the vile chants about Ian Durrant?Or is it just the Of? What about the sectarian singing at Edinburgh derbies? Put Hibs and Hearts behind closed doors too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipped flake Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) The usual what aboutery from the rangers fans on here.

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What a lot of pish regan spouts as the sfa are meant to be the guardians of the scottish game.Every competition comes under their gaze and they have the power to do everything possible to sort these idiots out but dont want to.They also should have the power to look at the pricing structures of teams aswell as everything else they goes on in each league.If they say they dont then can all get tae feck as whats the point of them being there.

DEAL! that would cut out those songs (which I don't think have been sung for years anyway) from Pittodrie for good. Great idea - and every time the OF sing their hate, they have to play behind closed doors too Agree completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least should be, regardless of competition. This really is beyond a joke. Bang on. The Whataboutery by Rangers fans on here is quite frankly offensive in itself. The thread is titled sectarian singing but as per they are quick to try talk about something else. 2 clubs indulge in this on a regular basis and very little is done. Not buying the 'everyone is doing what they can line either'. Very easy for Police and even clubs themselves to film supports an take action afterwards if lifting them all is not possible. Don't need to lift them all - just charge and prosecute a dozen or so every time it happens until the message gets through. The SFA & SPFL can easily charge clubs themselves - hand out a warning then start to fine clubs and dock points as well as expel or ban from competitions. What is the point of the game and politicians having laws and rules in place if a blind eye is turned when certain clubs are involved?
