Why have PQ gone so big on pushing 'strict liability' ? I had been wondering that myself Buster? Let’s be honest it will hurt the yahoos and all the other clubs just as much (if not more) than us. My only answer is that it’s politically motivated and some people at the SNP are pulling the strings? There is a need to push this in the hope of currying favour with the electorate pre campaigns coming up. They are all in this together for better or worse?

There is a need to push this in the hope of currying favour with the electorate pre campaigns coming up. They are all in this together for better or worse? The obvious angle from a rightly wary and suspicious Rangers support would be that it's a potential way to materially punish us for what is deemed sectarian singing.... I don't think they are wrong to cover the issue but it's about proportionality. The resident wannabe politician and actual bio-mechanic expert on Sportsound alluded to this yesterday when they had a long pow-wow on strict liability, repeating themselves for the nth time. Stewart specifically pointed towards and I paraphrase...'tens of thousands singing sectarian songs'. Their excuse for such repetition was that Daryl Broadfoot hadn't been on the programme the previous Monday after the C v R match 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,108 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well, it sounds good, doesn’t it? Taking steps to punish nasty people - that’s a bandwagon to be on surely, cracking the whip and playing lead trumpet. Trouble is, the trumpeters don’t understand strict liability and in the end of the day, nasty people go on being nasty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest it will hurt the yahoos and all the other clubs just as much (if not more) than us. The only thing that will punished by strict liability will be anti-RC singing and the only club that it will be aimed at will be us. It's just another avenue for them to attack us and it should be resisted. We've seen that Scottish society over a number of years, be it political, media or football, is geared to trying to keep us down and there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that Strict Liability would be any different. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't get away with that. I think it'd be more a matter of proportionality. They'd be screwed if we could lose the offending words/songs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The biggest difference between strict liability and the recently repealed offensive behaviour act is that the one they didn’t like was the law and the courts & PF generally didn’t discriminate. Strict liability will be run by the scum for the scum within football, so can be as biased as the compliance officer is and only see/hear/scrutinise what Radio Scotland/Sportscene/Daily Rhebel push for punishment, and ignore anything done by green brigade and the like. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
