Disgrace

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

A Rangers fan was fined £200 for running on to the pitch at Hampden while a Celtic supporter admitted making sectarian remarks at the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Rangers supporter Dale Hill, 21, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, admitted leaving the north stand and running on to the pitch at Hampden Park on April 17. He jumped over the security barrier and towards the Rangers players. 

Procurator fiscal depute Stuart Faure said he was chased by stadium security staff who were helped by police, who apprehended him. He was arrested and appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he admitted breaching the peace.  

Sheriff Paul Crozier fined him £200 and said a football banning order was "not merited".

Celtic fan Sam Miller, 26, from Essex, admitted making sectarian remarks after the match. 

The self-employed poker player pleaded guilty to breaching the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act by shouting, swearing, gesticulating and making sectarian remarks at Rangers fans and police officers.

Miller also admitted resisting arrest on April 17, at Hampden Park. He admitted the charges after being arrested at the match when police spotted him walking towards Rangers fans after the final whistle.

He was seen shouting and gesturing in an aggressive manner at the fans as they celebrated, and some were beginning to leave. 

The fiscal, Mr Faure said: "He was shouting 'f*****g orange b******s'. Police officers heard him use that phrase repeatedly.

"The officers went towards the accused and told him he was under arrest and placed their hands on him.

"It was at this stage he deliberately tensed his arms making it more difficult for the police officers to take him in to custody."

Sentence was deferred until next month for reports and bail was granted with the condition he does not attend any regulated football match in Scotland.

Tbh I think £200 and no banning order is him getting off quite lightly? ... I'll wait to see what the tarriers punishment is before commenting.

Seen that today. Sums up this country under the SNP.

Apologists will be around soon to tell you it isn't a disgrace and it doesn't matter so bury your head in the sand. 

The exact mentality that has us where we are in this country at the moment

Ah liked the fact aboot Timmy being a professional poker player 

[cushynumber 25,178]

run onto the pitch and you are getting arrested. Some common sense in the fine and no banning order for me.

 

Now the cellic fan for getting arrested cause he is shouting a load of shite - that i dont agree with.

Tarrier code for unemployed.

The bhegger should get shafted when he appears for sentencing. I'll assume he'll get a criminal justice social work report and hopefully get the jail for being a giro merchant.

So if the Rangers fans reacted he's basically incited a riot and got some bluenoses jailed all because the wee bastard can't keep his mouth shut, is a bad loser and wanted to offend us? ... we are the big bad ones and he's a wee angel who shouldn't get punished. Makes sense that.

Judge will keep her cards close to her chest, Timmy will be sweatin'

[eskbankloyal 19,446]

He also threw a punch at the steward trying to stop him so tbh £200 fine and no banning order is pretty lenient.

Bear got 4 month in jail for singing the Billy Boys last year so there is the benchmark - not that I want to see anybody jailed for singing ffs.

no. Nobody should be getting punished. Its stupidity on his part but the randomness of this arrest when there is 50K in the stands is obscene. I would be saying the same thing If it was a Rangers fan giving it fucking fenian bastard and getting arrested. 

 

Theres no big bad ones, theres no bad losers , theres no angels. Theres just a law that shouldn't be there in the first place because its unworkable. The fact its a cellic fan this time doesn't change that.

I agree about the stupid law being there but I can't agree that he's a victim of that. Gesturing, baiting and acting agressively towards Rangers fans calling them orange bastards in front of Police you deserve lifted. I'd say the same about a Rangers fan doing the same to them.

That's different from a whole supporting singing songs tthat offend your rivals during the match. Which is where the law is a disgrace.

If I'm one of them Rangers fans this lad was gesturing to, I'm looking for the Police to actually do their job before I go over and smash him - and they did, so fair play to them.

This guy did try to punch and kick the stewards that were chasing after him.

 

The Tim better get a sentence.

Hope that immigrant gets the tin pail.

[William McBeath 2,154]

Wouldn't that be a breach even if there was no offensive behaviour bill as he's doing a lot more than just singing songs? Surely the police can't let us go towards each other shouting abuse without doing something. Guy's a clown. Singing songs is one thing but he would have caused a scrap. What sort of bear would have let him get near without eventually dropping him. Glad he never made it because, as usual, other decent supporters would have ended up jailed as well.

If your that offended at being called an orange bastard you need to man up a bit son! 

Did you have the same opinion when the boy got done for singing the billy boys?

The Offensive Behaviour at Football Act or whatever it's called is a fucking joke! 

The precident has been set & he should get done for it but only because of the precident set not because the 'crime' deserved to be punished!

I feel dirty agreeing with you. 

[scottyc06 6,915]

As for the boy that ended up on the park he's got off pretty lightly considering he was throwing punches at stewards!

You are missing the point completely.

If you can't understand the difference, after I explained it out in that post you quoted above then you are a bit soft in the head.

It's not about offence it's about intent and the fact a guy is baiting you and trying to incite something. Maybe your the type that would just walk away and let him continue?

The law is black and white really but it fails to see the difference between banter and confrontation.

Singing a song or acting aggressive towards someone

Unreal
