Tannochsidebear 2,315 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 sorry about my naughty word I dont know what word you used, but I cant believe there is an adjective for they scummy bawbags that is not allowed to be used on a Rangers site! I'm guessing it was the "F" word that they frequently use as an adjective for themselves, and that Police advise is troublesome only when used with other adjectives or in an abusive context. I can call a celtic fan a "F" as long as it is not derogotary. e.g. we are playing the F next week is ok, but Brown is a dirty F B is not. And we wonder why the courts are so inconsistent with the application of the SNP's flagship piece of legislation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibmark 15 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'd much rather any reference to Celtc not be used on this site to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 they cant have it both ways after all! They can. They are not normal and live in their own universe. The great problem is that there is no definite rule on these things and words and each policeman and each sheriff is essentially applying the "discriminatory babble" - bill as they see fit on the day and the person.

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) imagine the response if at the next old firm game we had a huge banner saying..... celtic fans are NOT "F" they do not believe in the cause or actions of the IRA. they cant have it both ways after all! That's quite an interesting point because when this was under discussion it was quite clear that singing songs in support of proscribed organisations was an offence but I strongly questioned why singing songs opposed to the singing of such offensive songs was also regarded as offensive; an entirely illogical concept in my opinion. Unfortunately that's where politics and what was regarded as even handed policing departed from all logic; a fact that the police admitted at the time but advocated that position nonetheless.

der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) As of March 2015 ... PROSCRIPTION CRITERIA Under the Terrorism Act 2000, the Home Secretary may proscribe an organisation if she believes it is concerned in terrorism. For the purposes of the Act, this means that the organisation: • commits or participates in acts of terrorism; • prepares for terrorism; • promotes or encourages terrorism (including the unlawful glorification of terrorism); or • is otherwise concerned in terrorism. LIST OF PROSCRIBED GROUPS LINKED TO NORTHERN IRELAND RELATED TERRORISM (alphabetical order) Continuity Army Council Cumann na mBan Fianna na hEireann Irish National Liberation Army Irish People's Liberation Organisation Irish Republican Army Loyalist Volunteer Force Orange Volunteers Red Hand Commando Red Hand Defenders Saor Eire Ulster Defence Association Ulster Freedom Fighters Ulster Volunteer Force It is rather clear by context that those who indulge in IRA-okes at the Scumhut or wherever the Yahoos play, that they hardly refer to any Irish freedom fighting like the US of A did to gain independence. How they get e.g. away with it in Europe (note the thread on the Main Board*) and for years without being punished for continuous violation of their rules is beyond me.

Anchorman 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 So was the 'HMRC Lose Again' title bollocks then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We'll know when the info goes public. But that's essentially the second time that "folk in the know" have said this and nothing more happened after that. Since we all took it with the required amount of scepticism ...
