Agree with the observation that a large part of the fantastic result we were able to achieve was down to him.

Immense.

Pleased to hear it.

Ok, there is also record of flimsy defense and poor legal advise given in relation to those charged, plead guilty etc. There should have been more acquittals. There are also a range of laws currently on the book which if applied could be used to tackle unacceptable behavior, that’s another reason it went.

Of being whatever the law deemed at the time, a criminal.

Could surely now defend it a bit easier in a job interview type situation. You’re vindicated if you ask me.

Have a think about that you’re saying, it’s repealed because a majority of MSPs appose it, there’s no evidence this same majority of cross party MSPs would automatically support something else. Its been repealed because it’s unenforceable, unlawful, discriminatory and does more harm then good needlessly giving young men criminal records. The law was an absolute disgrace and a stain on this country.

No, that wasn't the scenario at all. Wasn't many moons ago, and definitely was charged under OBFA. I remember his picture somewhere, was just for singing that song, might have been at Ibrox. Was a student I think. Think he got let off as "not proven". The act is due to be repealed this Thursday in parliament.

Am I missing something? The law is getting binned on Thursday yet it was written today? A bit late no? It's also inaccurate in that there has been a Partick Thistle fan prosecuted for singing that very song.

Don't you understand that any number of songs could get you lifted under OBFA but far fewer would conceivable see any intervention under BOP or any other law? Rangers fans have been charged singing BMG and Father's Advice under OBFA. Singing these songs in a football stadium isn't going to result in a BOP charge, what other charges could be leveled at you for singing these songs other than OBFA? There a couple of basket case songs which were twisted as being racist (famine song for one) which may attract police attention and possibly TBB due to previous legal precedent although they are about the only ones that could see you in hot water. Yes, shouting FB may still get you in trouble. There were and far more that you would need to worry about under OBFA.

Further still, there need not actually be anyone offended, just that someone (hypothetical, present of otherwise) may have found the behavior offensive.

Has some nice touches, then so did Mr. Woo.

Have pm'd you.

Got one.

Full ballot for every game is fairest, but due to quirks of randomnes would probably lead to people being allocated three in a row and others nothing, leaving the ticket office open to complaints. They probably do it this way for an easier time. It's not the fairest at all. Allocated one game then taken out of the ballot for a load that you actually wanted.
