Police Scotland

[Chorley Hibee]

Everything both these sets of fans do on a weekly basis, whilst the above turn a blind eye time and again, and then they finally pick on a 12 year old boy.

They should hang their heads in shame!

Can't disagree. Seems incredible given the mayhem of that game that a 12 year old be charged.

Simples. It will go to a Children's Panel not the Sherrif Court and the full glare of publicity

It's almost as if Sevco desperately needed *anyone* to be charged with racism to back up their Morelos PR push.

AC12 should be investigating those taking these decisions.

Police Scotland has had a number of high level sackings in the last year or two. Incompetent or corrupt?

I think kids are brought up now with a zero tolerance towards racism, both from the home and in schooling. This says more about the boy’s upbringing more than anything else.

If there has been an incident of racist abuse it needs to be dealt within the appropriate manner, regardless of whether the accused is an adult or child. The reluctance to tackle sectarianism in that same manner remains a mystery to those of us on the outside looking in.

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Was rge kid there on his own? If not....who was the accompanying adult? Why is he/ she not on a charge?

[KingPat4]

I wonder if independence would make any difference?

There is little political stomach to truly tackle religious bigotry as it's not a vote winner.

Sticking plasters on gaping wounds.

Not trying to stir things up, it's a genuine question.

My father was a Yorkshireman and my family on both sides had zero interest in football.

So growing up, I could not understand the hatred even kids had for each other.

I still don't. It's crazy.

Not all kids get that grounding at home.
Same as it's ever been, if your parents are morons you are likely to grow up a moron.
Too many morons have too many kids, they become morons and have kids who naturally become morons etc etc.
Society is culpable in allowing this to happen rather than having the balls to deal with it.

A few of the Rangers fans are questioning the very validity of the arrest. Since the boy can't be named for legal reasons, does he actually exist, or have Police Scotland gone with that so they can "resolve" the case...simulataneously, they're using it as a weapon to demand several quarters of the media (including Mikey Stewart) are held to account for their accusations that this was all bull**** and demand they apologise...

I am so glad I don't live in this Old Firm bubble - the tit for tat bull**** we've had to listen to since that Old Firm game back in December is utterly draining.

Seemingly he is an anonymous racist. Agree it is an absolute pantomime and rest of Scotland is cringing.

[Bostonhibby]

Be a difficult one for Plod Glasgow's crack stamp out hatred squad if the kid pleads not guilty, 50,000 odd sectarian bigots as witnesses, not one credible witness will be found.

Easy enough...

Lack of parental care

Lack of proper supervision and control

All worthy of referral to SW and the Reporter to the Panel

[Smartie]

As a wee aside, has anyone seen the stuff from the Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday game at the weekend?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...football-match

A clip went viral which appeared to show a South Yorkshire (!) policeman using excessive force to crack a 16 year old boy over the head with a baton.

There's quite a lot out there on twitter about it but it really doesn't look good for the police officer involved. The young lad had a fair old gouge out of his head and tbh he's lucky it wasn't anything worse.

Assuming you're just having a laugh, yeah? Like, you don't really mean these things do you?

Is 'Lack of parental care' even a thing? Did you just make that up?

Either way, its BS. Go call the police and let us know how you get on.

Good old South Yorkshire police, a force with a completely untarnished reputation.

Check the social work scotland act 1968 as amended before you ridicule someone in the profession. Sarcasm in place of actual knowledge is to be pitied rather than scolded.

[Sudds_1]

And of course...the 1995 Children Act as it applies to scotland

*....long as this is practicable and in the interests of the child, parents have the responsibility to:

Safeguard and promote the child’s health, development and welfare;
Provide direction and guidance to the child

Ok with that????

Who the **** goes checking acts of parliament before posting on a football forum??!!

You obviously feel strongly about it so why not go report it to someone, if you can find anyone to take you seriously that is.

I think your 'actual knowledge' is BS, as I mentioned earlier.

I agree with your point on racism, that it should not be tolerated.

The issue in this instance is that there seems to have been a determination on the part of a Sectarian Institution (The Rangers) to have any kind of evidence to back up their Morelos claims (seemingly based on a devious mistranslation) and this is what has driven this prosecution....against, let's not forget, a child.


WHERE is the righteous indignation by Sectarion Institution FC to have the thousands of their own Fans prosecuted for equally heinous, sectarian abuse?

WHERE is even the condemnation of such sectarian abuse?


They are a bunch of Sectarian Hypocrites.

I once saw a mum give her young child Coke and crisps before 9am. I don't think that promotes or safeguards the kid's health. Should I have reported her to someone?

And now resorts to sillyness. If you want an adult discussion on why parental resonsibility is relevant here then ok.but i suspect you just want an uneducated pop.

It sounds like you're threatened by the poster above knowing the names of two acts of parliament Im sure lots of people with no connection to the legal profession know a few.
