Zappa 0 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 It was probably worthy of being front page news, but I don't think any red tops ran the story on their front pages. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard one of the panelists on a phone in say it made front and back page headlines on a paper. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,546 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Police hunt for yobs who threw coins and fireworks at Dundee v Celtic match on Boxing Day 1 Jan 2013 00:01 POLICE are looking for the thugs who caused a major disturbance at the Dundee v Celtic match on Boxing Day. YOBS who threw coins and set off fireworks in shameful scenes at Celtic’s Boxing Day match are being hunted by police. Police were called to clashes among the 3000-strong travelling support in the Bob Shankly stand at Dens Park. The fighting had stopped before they arrived. But they revealed yesterday that they are continuing to hunt down those responsible. And they are also probing coin-throwing and firework offences. The trouble-makers have been condemned by Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and manager Neil Lennon. And the club have vowed to assist with police inquiries. Five people have been reported to the procurator fiscal over alleged offences at the match. One man, Dion McLeish, has appeared in court over alleged pro-IRA chanting and has been banned from Celtic away matches ahead of his trial. Match commander Superintendent Jim Leslie said: “We are carrying out further inquiries to see if we can identify the people fighting. “We are also investigating coin-throwing and fireworks. “What we had was an evening kick-off on Boxing Day where football fans had ample time to get through a lot of alcohol.” He added that, although stewards would refuse entry to any obviously drunk people, the number of fans present at the sell-out match made it difficult for them. He added: “It’s clear that there were people within the ground who had consumed alcohol and a number of offences were committed by fans in the Celtic end.” Jim Thomson, Dundee’s operations manager, said after the game: “There was almost a full-scale riot. I had Celtic fans coming up to me to tell me they were embarrassed by their own fans’ behaviour.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/police-hunt-for-dundee-v-celtic-1512757 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
