Shibuya Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Airdrie need to fight this, it's only a matter of time before some bitter wee ersehole starts reporting other clubs for giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordieBoy80 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Your point is a valid one Parsforlife albeit snidely made. You're perfectly entitled to object to how we came back into the league following liquidation. It's actually irrelevant in terms of the action which is being taken though. I'd also hoped (perhaps naively), that other fans might like having the Airdrieonians name back. It's a part of the Scottish footballing landscape like Hamilton Academicals, Dunfermline Athletic, Greenock Morton, Burnt Island Shipyard, Whitehill Welfare, Civil Service Strollers. Football badges are an extension of that. Do we really want the majority of them at risk because of heraldic convention? Hamilton Academical singular and Burntisland is one word.

terracingtam Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Whilst the law is about as ridiculous as it comes airdrie fans are getting ever so precious over a badge they have only recently started using. I would suggest a badge depicting mindless thugs jumping over a barrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I hereby claim ownership of all images in Scotland depicting anything that looks like an African mammal. I'm coming for you, Dumbarton. From the Dumbarton crest it looks like it's got wee lugs making it the Asian variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 From the Dumbarton crest it looks like it's got wee lugs making it the Asian variety. I know this is an Airdrie thread but I don't discriminate against quadrupeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 GiGi, do you know if the Morton badge is registered with he who must not be named? Might be scope for the Sons to claim all ships and stick you and Stranraer in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 As a solicitor you should know that ignorance of the law is no excuse. You are asking for a law that has been in use for over 400 years to be overturned because somebody in your club didn't know the law? I am also familiar with the concept of the Rule of Law and under the belief that prosecution should only be brought where it is the public interest. Can you have a read at the act for me http://www.legislation.gov.uk/aosp/1592/29/paragraph/p1 and tell me where it makes clear what is heraldic and what is not? Would you also be able to tell me where it states that letters are forbidden in heraldic devices or states the rules regarding the limited number of "colours" and "metals" that can be used? While I appreciate that my views on the matter are influenced by the club's current predicament, I'm not convinced that anyone at your club, or a number of other clubs, "knew the law" either.
