Is It Today The Sfa

[mchammer 245]

or spfl, have the meeting to decide on fans lighting

smoke flares and offensive chanting at games?

Just curious as to why one bheastie clubs fans bad behaviour is going to affect the rest of Scottish football fans, and clubs.

Were the bheasts or are the bheasts getting a severe punishment for their recent deeds?

Or will they will make a decision today to punish clubs and fans for future misdemeanour's and let the bheasts away with last weeks

shenanigans because no "official rules" were set then?

It is the police who should be dealing with this.

On 5 August, Tony Blair made a statement at his regular monthly news conference which included a mention of the proposed legislation. He said:

"... there will be new anti-terrorism legislation in the Autumn. This will include an offence of condoning or glorifying terrorism. The sort of remarks made in recent days should be covered by such laws. But this will also be applied to justifying or glorifying terrorism anywhere, not just in the United Kingdom."

Terrorism Act 2006

An act making provision 'for and about offences relating to conduct carried out ... for purposes connected with terrorism'

"To make provision for and about offences relating to conduct carried out, or capable of being carried out, for purposes connected with terrorism."

• Makes it a criminal offence to encourage terrorism by directly or indirectly inciting or encouraging others to commit acts of terrorism.

Representatives of all 42 clubs in the Scottish Professional Football League will meet at Hampden on Tuesday.

Falkirk chairman Doug Henderson has raised league restructuring as an item for discussion.

A three-year moratorium not to reorganise the four senior divisions ends later this year.

The SPFL board will meet later in the day to discuss fan behaviour following recent cases of sectarian chanting and the use of flares and smoke bombs.

Henderson, who wants the Scottish Premiership expanded from 12 teams to 16, is keen to start a dialogue about changing the present structure of Scotland's senior leagues.

In 2013, the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League merged to become the SPFL.

The four divisions in senior football remained as they were with 12 in the top flight and 10 in each of the other three divisions.

However, a new promotion/relegation play-off system was introduced between the top two divisions in addition to the established one up, one down.

Since season 2000-01, the top flight in Scotland has spilt after 33 rounds of fixtures. Clubs in the top six then play each other once more, as do the bottom-six sides.

Clubs in the Championship and Leagues One and Two play each other four times a season and teams in the Highland and Lowland Leagues now have a route into the senior pyramid via the end-of-season play-off series.

Champagne and caviar when United die

[mchammer 245]

But they don't know what terrorism is in Scotland is regarding the bheasts.

They don't know what sectarianism is either.

Be interesting to note what happens regarding this meeting.

Basically, unless it's dangerous to your physical well being,

Like flares and rockets and such, then they should really give up on the chants.

We all know who will be first to get the punishment that they decide to do today.

It wont be the bheasts.

Holyrood obviously make a point in ignoring it, as plod should be held to account for not enforcing it.

They can't punish any club for what its fans do under the current rules unless the club has condoned it so don't hold your breath.

If you are so keen to have strict liability just watch them punish us for what they deem offensive singing.

The current rules are better left well alone

Rangers supporters are worse, end of case against the scum. The sfa in action.

today isn't a disciplinary, it's to discuss future measures at tackling the issues.

Scottish league clubs could face points deductions from next season for failing to control supporters under a radical new approach to crowd disorder being considered by the SPFL,Raman Bhardwaj reports.

STV has learned that the league governing body is asking for financial support from the Scottish Government to introduce a multi-million pound facial recognition scheme, designed to identify troublemakers at Scottish grounds. The SPFL hierarchy is determined to take a firm stance on sectarian singing, the use of flares and other offensive behaviour following incidents involving Rangers, Celtic and Dundee United. In conjunction with the introduction of the scheme, new sanctions are being proposed to punish clubs who do not pro-actively take action to prevent offensive behaviour.

A points deduction would be among the more severe outcomes under the plan, which would bring an end to the current policy of clubs not being punished as long as they openly condemn such behaviour. The move towards technology, which would be the first of its kind in the UK, is designed to target violence, offensive singing, use of pyrotechnics and any other prohibited behaviour.

One proposal would see the introduction of facial recognition software to identify trouble makers and create a database of supporters who should not be granted entrance to grounds across the country. If someone on the black list attempts to enter a stadium, an alert would be received allowing clubs to take action.

It would be the responsibility of clubs to ensure these fans were unable to gain access to matches.

Meetings have already taken place between representatives of the SPFL and the Scottish Government over funding for a scheme that would implement facial recognition technology at Scottish grounds, allowing for the identification of known troublemakers.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

It's official,we are now living in a police state.

[LiverpoolBlue 1,395]

No doubt Ibrox will be the one place chosen to trial this facial recognition crap

!

[dummiesoot 16,005]

OK SFA and spfl, give us all a definition of offensive singing, one man's meat is another man's murder afterall.

We cannot simply have a rule that bends to the will of the complainant at their whim.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Easy to combat this,wear your scarf over your mouth at the football.

Would like to see any court in the land prove you were singing songs now :lol:

Alloa Athletic chairman Mike Mulraney says Scottish clubs are unanimously against the introduction of strict liability rules.

Recent cases of sectarian chanting and the use of smoke bombs and flares have prompted a discussion within the Scottish Professional Football League.

All 42 SPFL clubs met at Hampden on Tuesday.

SPFL board member Mulraney says clubs should not be punished if they do all they can to prevent unruly behaviour.

Strict liability, where clubs can be punished for the conduct of its fans regardless of whether the club itself is to blame, is used by Uefa for European competitions.

But it is up to member countries to decide whether to adopt such rules.

Also at Tuesday's meeting of the clubs, which preceded a summit of Mulraney and his fellow SPFL board members, the issue of league restructuring was due to be discussed.

A three-year moratorium not to reorganise the four senior divisions ends later this year.

And Falkirk chairman Doug Henderson raised the issue as an item for discussion.

Henderson, who wants the Scottish Premiership expanded from 12 teams to 16, is keen to start a dialogue about changing the present structure of Scotland's senior leagues.

In 2013, the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League merged to become the SPFL.

The four divisions in senior football remained as they were with 12 in the top flight and 10 in each of the other three divisions.

Clubs in the Championship and Leagues One and Two play each other four times a season and teams in the Highland and Lowland Leagues now have a route into the senior pyramid via the end-of-season play-off series.

Analysis - BBC Scotland's Gollum Faced Cunt

"Some of the key figures at the top of Scottish football say they are open to change. That was the message as all 42 clubs gathered at the national stadium to discuss league restructuring.

"Hearts owner Ann Budge says she welcomes discussion. Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell also said he was keen to listen but thought there was a certain element of self interest in those looking for change.

"It's understood proposals including a move to a 16-team league will be discussed but no decision made today."

Nice of them to try and ensure the taigs win the league next season, theyve done it 5 years running so why stop now

[Dutchy 1,200]

If this is the way football is going in the future, then I won't be going.

I don't go much as it is due to health problems and lack of money, but it these cretins think I'm paying for the possibility being sussed by cops, then they can fuck right off.

TV viewing for me from now on it would appear.
