FROM THE HERALD;

Teenager to stand trial for allegedly assaulting former Rangers player Dean Shiels at Scottish Cup final

A teenager is due to stand trial for allegedly assaulting former Rangers player Dean Shiels at the Scottish Cup final last year.

Greig Binnie, 19, allegedly acted aggressively towards the player and “uttered abusive remarks” towards him at Hampden Park when Hibs beat Rangers 3-2.

The alleged offence is contrary to the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.

Binnie from Ratho, Edinburgh, is also accused of assaulting Shiels by “seizing hold” of the player at Hampden Park.

He appeared yesterday (Thurs) at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he denied the charge.

Folks that took it above and beyond have spoiled what should have been a day to cherish for the rest of their lives but only have themselves to blame.

Is that the same boy who was also done for acting "aggressively" towards Foderingham?

If there is concrete evidence of violent behaviour, throw the book at these idiots. They have to be singled out from the vast majority of celebrating fans.

Wow he uttered abusive remarks, how long was Dean in Hospital for?

Police will act on that but not Huns throwing missles at will when we were at Ibrox.

***Winston Ingram*** · 13-01-2017 07:37 AM

Acted aggressively and abusive remarks. In that case I think i just assaulted someone in the Easyjet Call Centre

Pretty sure it is.

**itslegaltender** · 13-01-2017 07:44 AM

this lad lost his job in the aftermath and the huns even were trying to get his mum sacked from hers, contacting her work. Was talk of him being hunted down etc on social media as well.

***Golden Bear*** · 13-01-2017 07:44 AM

You know there are times when you just can't defend the indefensible.

***lucky*** · 13-01-2017 08:05 AM

Silly boy, if he has grabbed DS then he is real bother. But as he's plead not guilty I'm sure we will hear his side of the story. It could easily be he cuddled Deano who reacted and the lad gave him some verbals.

If the boy in court is guilty then that is indefensible.

What you're describing there is equally as indefensible.

**Waxy** · 13-01-2017 08:12 AM

Act aggresive and shouted abusive remarks? Sure the Rangers players did similar in the tunnel before the game.

***Keith_M*** · 13-01-2017 08:13 AM

IF he did what is alleged, then I hope they throw the book at him.

**~~northstandhibby~~** · 13-01-2017 08:14 AM

Sounds more like the authorities making sure at least one hibs fan is being charged with 'assault' to confirm the narrative of hun players being 'assaulted'.

Every supporter in the land has at some point shouted 'obscenities' at opposition players.

The huns are screaming religious hatred every week and nothing is done about that.

Touching Dean Shiels doesn't sound like a physical assault to me, if he did.

He's just a lad and this is going to harm his life prospects severely.

I've got nothing but sympathy for this young lad who's being singled out for harsh treatment when the huns are allowed to belt out sectarian hatred every single time they play.

Yeah, same guy.

Here's the video of his assault on Foderingham.

A one handed push on the goalie's shoulder.

Every supporter might have shouted obscenities at opposition players but not standing next to them in the centre circle.

A simple pat on the back and a "Well done, Agent Shiels" which the the Rangers player took offence at, m'lud.

Looking at the video again its quite clear it is the guy in the white top that does the push, Binnie in the darker top does not seem to touch the goalie.

Miscarriage of Justice !

***Bristolhibby*** · 13-01-2017 08:38 AM

I'm no lawyer, but since when did shouting at someone become assault?

Probably this bit....

Binnie from Ratho, Edinburgh, is also accused of assaulting Shiels by “seizing hold” of the player at Hampden Park.

If he has a decent lawyer all they need to do is contact the BBC and check through their archives cause Kenny Shiels said live on the radio that Dean had 100% NOT been assaulted. It was a couple of days after the game so wouldn't take long for them to find.

(might have been radio Clyde so check their archives as well).

Lets be clear as violence goes it doesn't sound particularly extreme. Some folk took serious doings on the pitch.

A decent lawyer will ask DS himself, no?

**Fuzzywuzzy** · 13-01-2017 09:07 AM

I'm sure the Kenny shields came out and said nothing had happened to Dean?

Indeed, Kiernan and Travernier got a right doing at about 2min 50.

**JDHibs** · 13-01-2017 09:17 AM

Ive spoken to this lads mother several times about all.

He was charged with acting aggressively towards Foderingham, got a lifetime ban from Easter Road, and tagged. I believe the tag is now off. All for swearing at Foderingham, maybe pushing him, i dont know.

He then ran towards Shiels, who thought the lad was going to attack him, so called a steward and the steward intervened. He wasnt going to attack Dean. He wanted to shake his hand (apparently). No contact was made with Shiels. Deans dad, Kenny then done an interview and said that Dean was not touched by anybody at the end of the final.

The lads family have not reached out to Kennys club, to speak with him and get a statement saying that Dean wasnt touched.

The case will no doubt be thrown out.

He ended up getting offered an even better job coaching squash elsewhere

**WHAM** · 13-01-2017 10:09 AM

What an absolute farce.

From the videos it's obvious he was just giving Foderingham the GIRFUY and it's the other ginger haired guy who actually shoves him.

How can you be tagged for "acting" aggressively without actually committing any form of physical assault? I'm sure his record was clean before this also.

Who was defending him in court??

Some of the charges being dished out are laughable. The "4 armed" Hibs fans who slid on his knees and was assaulted by rangers fans was charged with something ridiculous like "celebrating in a manner likely to incite violence!" 240 hours community service!

Complete witch hunt by PS. You can also tell from the latest images released and by matching them up to the videos on YouTube they are actually going after those whose only crime was to celebrate on the pitch and "taunt" the rangers fans in the north stand.
