Police Scotland not being able to control the bennie hat pricks of Celtic or Rangers running up and down in green or black Stone Island with their green or blue tea coseys on, was shameful. Back now though.

Some Maccabi fans are scumbags. I don't like tarring all of their fan base with that title. Beitar are far far worse.

Agree with this. We spent many a long year in this country asking not to be tarred with the same brush let’s not do the same to the genuine MTA fans who just want to watch their team.

While it was also not an unreasonable response to ban our fans from the various competitions while we got our own house in order. MTA aren't an exclusively hoolie outfit like Beitar Jerusalem, but they have a consistent and recent track record of going away to other cities and becoming news. An incentive to sort that out is not something I have a problem with.

Currently the subject of the 5 Live phone-in.  Over-emotive language on both sides, e.g. the treatment of MTA fans in Amsterdam was a pogrom.

The recent banning of away fans at Old Firm games wasn't down to trouble and an inability of Police Scotland to manage the fans. It was due to the two clubs being unable to agree what their respective allocations should be e.g Rangers fans felt they had been too accommodating in giving Celtic a whole end at end at Inbox, so there was pressure to reduce the allocations which resulted in an impasse.

Reassuring that video hasn't killed the radio stars.

Quite right, I retract my attack on the denizens of Strathclyde Plod. But I maintain by second hand embarrassment for the uniformed gimps of Celtic and Rangers getting in the way of normal folks trying to do a wee bit of shopping on a Sunday.

But predictive text killed proof reading.

Football terraces are not a free for all for "free speech" you quite rightly cannot tragedy chant or sectarian chant without risk of prosecution.

What happened in the ‘Dam:

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15KN1e7sy2m/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Independent Advisor to the Government on antisemitism, John Mann (who did a 3 day on the ground in the Dam investigation) holds a different view. Suggests his report has been ignored and that this decision isn't based on Mayoral Advice from Amsterdam as indicated.
