Marshmallo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Four days after the game and you've chosen to turn to a low blow point scoring? Wild. Even if it did happen, you are taking delight in it to post some pictures from Father Ted on a football forum. Why does it please you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauriestonBairn Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Another apologist for racism found. I could provide you with the facts of the story. However, I think your tiny brain would struggle to cope and I don’t want to be responsible for you having an aneurysm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 That is correct, was investigated by Police Scotland and a caution was given for a Section 38 offence (Statutory Breach of the Peace). Police even stated there was no racial element to the offence [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 29 minutes ago, HopeStreetPieStall said: So your statement is that police Scotland had credible evidence of racial abuse, and instead of taking said evidence through the court process, they let him off with a warning letter for shouting in public? I think you'll find that a warning for public order offence, instead of an actual prosecution is the police admitting that there's no evidence, but by issuing a warning letter, they can count it as a crime cleared. If there had been actual evidence, champ, this would have been taken to court. But thanks for playing. X If the police felt that there was no evidence to support the claims then they probably wouldn't have issued a formal warning; or if they did then its recipient would be able to contest the warning and have his name cleared of all charges quite easily. That's how the justice system actually works. Neither of those outcomes occurred though, so your claim that the racism incident has been dismissed by the police investigation is totally wrong as usual.

It was simply bemusing at the beginning to see certain Falkirk fans feigning ignorance of the very recent racism incident that was being referred to in the thread. The practices of denialism, wagon-circling and Lionel Hutz-esque legal analysis since that point have fully earned such mockery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 16 minutes ago, HopeStreetPieStall said: Again, it's a vehicle to clear a crime that would otherwise be dropped. No, it's a vehicle to punish public order offences in a proportionate manner. In the same way that the police issuing a £60 fine for pishing in the street deals with the criminal offence committed without hauling someone before a court of law. Accepting that offer from the police doesn't mean that the incident never actually happened though. Quote The warning letter states that you csn challenge it, but since it's not on your record, why would you? It states also that it will be done at your own expense. Well if you cared about officially clearing your name and Falkirk's racist shame of November 2018 then you might have chosen to do so. You could have even fan-funded that effort. Although given the spectacular failure of your club's tribunal performance I doubt it would have ended well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was evidence to prove that, so why would they charge him with a public order offence instead of using the actual laws provided for racist abuse? It's a regular puzzle, isn't it? A; Because racism also falls under bog standard public order offences as well champ. 'Puzzle' solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branch Ton Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 4 minutes ago, HopeStreetPieStall said: And yet they have specific laws to charge him with, and according to you, evidence to back it up with and yet for some reason slap him with a warning that is more commonly used to deal with people who've been arguing loudly in the street. Given the police stated clearly that there was no evidence to prove a charge of racism, we can file your claims in the "virgin talking bollocks" Falkirk FC sponsored by Teflon. We dun nuffing wrong. And we haven't even. mentioned abusing disabled opponents. Proverbs 28 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
