12 arrests at Old Firm match

[BrahimHemdani 1]

....well...I'm Scottish to start with, there's a plus? also I'm not unusually clever,only sometimes (but that doesn't count) I'm certainly lot stupid, (but ma catholic granny keeps telling me to stop signing in to Rangers internet sites) could that effect my status? Also I do lose control from time to time when playing 'solitude'...but that's only me?

 

Can I make that complaint then BH?

 

I would say so but don't quote me!

 

And remember that anyone can make a complaint even an unreasonable person; the test is not whether or not you are a reasonable man; the test is whether or not a police officer takes the view that this mythical reasonable person would find the chant offensive etc and the procurator fiscal considers that there is a good chance that he could secure a conviction and/or that it would be in the public interest to prosecute the alleged offence.

Define an 'unreasonable' person for me before I make a complaint.

 

Is it only 'Scottish' people who can do that?

What I mean is that anyone can make a complaint who was at a "regulated football match" or even if you weren't actually at the match but you were watching it on TV and were offended by what you heard.

 

And going back to your earlier point, I suppose that the more people who claimed to be offended then the more likely the police would have to take action.

 

However, remember that this is new legislation that has not yet been tested and I am not a lawyer; all I have done is quoted you certain parts of the Act and given you my interpretation.
