Frankie 8,552 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The law will be the Criminal Justice Act and they will look to prosecute under Breach of the Peace... I sincerely doubt they'd get a conviction though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gers4Life 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 This may have been said before or i could be wrong here, but this famine song came to light after the 4-2 old firm game in august, after one celtic fan was greatly offended!!! but had celtic won this game? would this issue had ever arisen in the first place or was it just sour grapes! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably mate but they would have been offended enough at some point. I just want to know what song will be next... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Curious here...but is the banned songs like Hullo Hullo / Famine - just banned from Ibrox or all football stadia or everywhere ie on the streets? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't think either song is banned outside football grounds as Hullo, hullo is actually banned by UEFA and therefore the SFA by default and with threats of point deductions and bans from Europe, Rangers themselves are enforcing the ban at Ibrox. That song COULD result in arrest and conviction but it would be up to the police and courts, how the song is interpretted and whether it breaks any laws. With the recent fuss over the song, a conviction could be likely for breach of the peace and incitement to sectarian hatred. The Plastic Paddy song has been condemned by the SFA/SPL and so Rangers have "requested" fans don't sing it, in case they may be arrested and probably more importantly to the board, in case Rangers are punished. I've not read whether the stewards are instructed to enforce this request. The police don't seem to have a clear posture on this song. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The decision to arrest anyone is one which is made not by the club but by the police. That's right, it's the fault of the big, bad police. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 So because the media/police in this country all have an IQ of about 7 and are unable to understand the context of something someone is singing we are to be arrested for it? You are kidding right? Media maybe but the police? The police don't make the laws of the country, they enforce them. We're only doing a job so what's the problem? I can't/don't understand why the police are getting it tight here? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
