Facial Recognition To Punish Fans

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715]

Maybe we should all just sit round the camp fire singing kumbaya.

Us and our Ira friends from the east.

Alternatively we make our own statement as Rangers fans - everyone wears a scarf, or no one leaves concourse til 5 mins after k.o. - and let others take their own actions.

If it's the same day fine.

If it's walking beside Ira loving scum who chuck bottles at kids faces then I'm out.

Sing TBB all you want as long you have your scarf covering your mouth. If you miraculously get lifted and took to court it will get thrown out.

Everytime.

Naw mate! Scarves will be banned from football grounds as will banners, big flags etc....oh! and bike helmets

Even paper will be banned.

Paper thrown in an offensive manner,hope to god it's no orange paper

Sectarian paper attacks, a new low.

[ForeverAndEver 71,452]

Yep.

Your right about them causing it. But if your serious about wanting things like this reversed football fans of all ilk need to show a united front.

Media outside Scotland would take serious notice if fans of both Old Firm teams took a united stand on an issue like this.

Plenty we could do within our own fanbase.

Fuck that "Old Firm" pish. I want no association, alliance or even sharing the same oxygen as that vermin.

[6superbarry6 14,152]

Wonder if any of the tartan trannies will get pulled for blatant anti-English racism,racism that the SNP has played a massive part in stirring up in this country

Aye but they won't ban burkhas, that old be racist.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

I think the SPFL are being canny here.

The SNP came up with arse wipe of a law, now they are being asked to pay for it

[ForeverAndEver 71,452]

The Union Bears wish to express our deep concern regarding the proposals from the SPFL that facial recognition CCTV should be introduced at Scottish stadiums under the guise of fan safety. Facial recognition works on the presumption that football fans are criminals, which could not be further from the truth, and the rumoured £4m cost could definitely be spent better elsewhere.

This comes a few years after the failed Offensive Behaviour Act introduced by the current government to criminalise football supporters, and is yet another example of how out of touch both the SPFL and Government are with football fans and the issues of sectarianism and their perception of offensive behaviour.

At a time of general decline for football across the country, we would urge all supporters and fan groups to oppose these proposed measures, which will no doubt further impact already declining attendances. With the current climate of high ticket pricing, over zealous policing and poor overall fan experience, this is the last thing Scottish football needs.

Union Bears
No Surrender

Just seen this on FB.

Whimsy.

They are allowed in but only if they are genuine articles and not replica ones made in China

[Ozblue 4,331]

Burqas are permissible, especially for the Arabs from Dundee as they are deemed religious clothing and keep the sun aff yer heid

[GMac 1,405]

RST should sell these. Put it on when you sing TBB.

While that is a terrible choice of mask, wouldn't an appropriate protest be to wear anonymous masks. I don't mean so that we can sing the allegedly naughty word from the allegedly naughty song. I just mean 45k Bears wearing the anonymous mask would be quite a statement.

[Lidl 191]

Those mask are generally worn by fat geeks though.

How about they spend the money on anintegrated schooling system. Instead dividing up society from age 5.

[weshallnotbemoved! 714]

Its Orwellian control

[KeyserSoze 14,531]

Facial recognition cameras don't work on ugly people, so you'll be fine.

Oh ffs I won't be able to move anymore

[cr3_bear 14,830]

Everyone should just bring their hijab to the next game

[BlueBeard 241]

Everyone should just bring their hijab to the next game

Great idea !!...."Get yer red white n blue,hijab here,only a fiver", might even do some in black for the union bears ????

[Big Al 55 9,248]

They should be looking for investment in grass roots football and schemes to encourage fans back to games.

Anyway facial recognition software isn't about identifying people after the act it's about identifying fans should they disregard a banning order, identifying them at turnstiles etc

[heathen fish boy 8,579]

was phone in on radio shortbread about it,hijacked with timmy pish as usual,apparently Morton had bricks thrown at them now,why must they lie?
