A mate has been chasing PS for info on this, he is getting the run around from them, same with a FOI request. They are insisting on an incident report reference number before proceeding. Latest is he has asked the Lord Advocate's office to provide the ref number, since they initiated the investigation.
His MSP is also now involved.
I waiting to see a leprechaun mascot beating a rangers mascot at half time in the piggery and all the mhedia and SNP saying what a great laugh Celtic showing what a light hearted club they are. Country has went to shit, I was going to say dogs but I love my dogsYour opinion could also be read as a fact, you ain't wrong mate.
Ages t months it took my mp Fulton McGregor andd he did not send my request to useless as requested but to crown officeI wrote to Jackson Carlaw last weekend but no reply as yet. Does anyone know how long they usually take to respond, or do they wait until they have had a response?
Story in the Record today about one of those charged.
Celtic fan cleared of hanging Rangers effigies fined for punching Airdrie fan
Kieran Carvill was previously charged after blow-up dolls dressed as Gers fans were hung from the stand at an Old Firm game.
A Celtic fan once cleared of hanging effigies at an Old Firm game has been fined £400 for attacking another football supporter.
Kieran Carvill punched an Airdrie fan before a Scottish Cup tie between the clubs at Parkhead in January this year.
The 19-year-old pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the man, who has not been traced.
Carvill, of the city's Pollok, was one of nine Celtic fans acquitted last year of hanging the blow up dolls at a game against Rangers in September 2016.
The case was thrown out by a sheriff after a two-year wait.
This latest incident at the cup tie sparked further disturbance among other fans who also started fighting.
Paul Kavanagh, defending, said the unknown man had attacked Carvill first.
Mr Kavanagh added: “He didn’t know if it was Airdrie or Celtic fans.
“He was walking on London Road to get a ticket and had to go past the away fans. There were supporters fighting amongst themselves.
“While wearing no colours he was punched by the unknown man and when Mr Carvill saw him again he went up to him.”
Sheriff Barry Divers reduced the fine from £450.
Where do they get this 'acquitted' line from?
That's was the impression I had too Bazil until I seen the pro Spain rallies in Catalonia,they were massive.I Watched a doc a couple of weeks ago it is called 2 Catalonias , it gives the the Catalonian Spanish who wish too remain as well as the separatist,s case, the simalarities between the Howlers in Scotland and the Catalans is uncanny same tactics, same shoutie shout their opponents down harrassment bully noy tactics, before i watched this my opinion was that most Catalans want Indie , NOT TRUE

.Have pulled him up and told him get it sent to useless I will also now be emailing him on Monday about the 8 t-shirt mob
Find below communication from my MP Gavin Newlands who I contacted to convey my disgust and disappointment that PS had ‘lost’ vital evidence re the effigies.
Credit where due, he did follow up, albeit eventually, and you can see the response he got from the Lord Advocates Office.
States there is an investigation into the loss and he will be updated when that’s completed.
Keep the pressure on !
Dear ALP,
As you may recall, you had written to Gavin on 23rd June regarding an incident at a football match in September 2016 which had been investigated by Police Scotland and Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) but which had resulted in no action beyond the original deserted trial of September 2018.
Gavin had written to the Lord Advocate as the responsible authority heading up the COPFS outlining your concerns and raising the points in your original email.
We have now received a response from the Lord Advocate and I have attached a copy of his reply to this email. I have also attached a copy of Gavin's original letter to the Lord Advocate for your information.
As you can see from the reply, there is a current police investigation in relation to this matter and the Lord Advocate will update Gavin further when this investigation is concluded.
I hope this helps. If we can of any further assistance on this or any other matter please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Best wishes,

Was the case deserted either by:
Desert pro loco et tempore To stop the particular indictment or summary complaint proceeding further without the facts being determined.
Desert simpliciter To bring prosecution for a crime or offence on indictment or summary complaint to an end without the facts being determined.
What exactly does discontinuance in this case mean?
Definition. Discontinuance means termination of a lawsuit by the plaintiff. It is the voluntary termination of litigation by plaintiff or by both parties by settlement.
That means the plaintiff - the person or group who is accusing the mentally challengeds of inciting trouble - agreed to the case being dropped. FFS, they were claiming that a law was broken, and were in court to present an open and shut case. Surely with the huge amount of reports, eye witness accounts, photographs, TV images etc. it was up to the defendants to prove the accusation wrong - no way was there insufficient evidence here.
The stench in Scotland these days is fucking unreal.
The investigation has been completed. Nobody at fault, procedures tightened, blah blah.Albertz Left Peg / George Goudie
As expected I've seen no update on the "investigation" ongoing on the loss of evidence in this case. Hav eeither of you heard anything?
The same as what happened when Tom Boyd spouted his pish on racellic TV. EffaweWhat happened to the inquiry?
I got the same reply the police investigation found no criminality,they blamed the paper system where they hold the evidence weir supposed to believe this story.The investigation has been completed. Nobody at fault, procedures tightened, blah blah.
I've got the reply, but for some reason can't C+P the pdf file.

Absolutely just stop and think for one minute it was Rangers fans that had done something similar, there would be meltdown.Humza’s head should roll for this. 100%.
Jesus. Disgraceful. Is that it? A 2 tier justice system being operated. Thanks for following up.
Humza was useless as a Transport Minister and he is even more useless as a Justice Minister in fact if there were a Ministry of Hopelessness and Uselessness he would be a natural for the job , he's nothing but a wage thief .Humza’s head should roll for this. 100%.
Could you share the letter please mate ? Even a camera image .I got the same reply the police investigation found no criminality,they blamed the paper system where they hold the evidence weir supposed to believe this story.
If the item has been stolen then it is a serious crime.It was the defence who was insisting on the CCTV being used according to this letter. It seems they have played this card after the footage went missing.
Perhaps there is collusion/corruption from that angle rather than out and out blaming the PF deputes themselves or (police who didn't have the disc and couldn't get to it once it is at the PF office) both of whom could've done a million other things before charging/prosecuting these clowns to make it go away.
"The Defence" for the Green Brigade is Kavanagh. I'd be surprised if he didn't have plants working for him in the PF office. We know the Green Brigade (despite their character) isn't all east end scheme rats and their members will undoubtedly have family and friends in professions like the law.
I think it's much more likely that the lawyer who is defending them or his clients have the contacts who could make something like this happen. Whether or not there is a willingness to expose that corruption or they've just not been rumbled yet is another matter.

My work has both an internal and external audit team and we get hassled for backing up everything we do so I really cant accept that the police don't have something more strict considering the sensitivity of their work.I don't believe you can just lose evidence.
How would that even happen?
there's plenty of these pictures all over social mediaSo the video's have still not surfaced?
Lost where?
Lost at sea?
Lost in space?
Lost in the jungle?
They are taking us all for a ride and sadly there is no independent press to hold them to account.
And we laugh at Iran!!!

Maybe we should do similar the next time we play them and see what happens.Absolutely just stop and think for one minute it was Rangers fans that had done something similar, there would be meltdown.
Thats how much a state Scotland is in right now
The reply received from the Solicitor General implied as much. It said that the evidence was not available at the trial, and hinted it may have resurfaced since then.Most likely moved from its correct location and buried somewhere within the same facility that holds evidence. It will turn up months / years down the line when it will be too late.
Another honest mistake from the establishment.
I don't believe it is possible to do that.Most likely moved from its correct location and buried somewhere within the same facility that holds evidence. It will turn up months / years down the line when it will be too late.

Of course, these items are usually copied profusely and the copies get given to the defence and in a matter like this, the defence can often be separate for each individual so numerous copies are needed.there's plenty of these pictures all over social media
That my friend is the attitude and stupid saying that gets us absolutely nowhere, I absolutely hate that saying !Sweep sweep nothing to see here.
Humza pish should be investigated surely....? Tim rippin out him..!
Why was he so keen to support a football club so thoroughly connected to anti-British terrorism?
You reckon?
Only in Scotland.
Why’s the Justice Minister posing for a selfie with a hood up like a fucking wee lassie is also a pertinent question.Why was he so keen to support a football club so thoroughly connected to anti-British terrorism?
One for watching, one might think!
You reckon?
Only in Scotland.
Pin a yellow rosette on a tin of dog food and the cretins up here would still vote for it (as long as there was no ‘Butcher’s Apron’ on it), it would end up as Education Minister.That photo sums up what a shit hole Scotland has become. Imagine having a tramp like that in high office. And there are Bears vote for him and his cronies. Unbelievable.
I think it’s worth pointing out that the effigies were hung from the opposite end of the ground from the Green Brigade.It was the defence who was insisting on the CCTV being used according to this letter. It seems they have played this card after the footage went missing.

senior figures of what GG ?Not a thing Ross.
I still maintain that there's a massive cloaked blanket round one or 2 of these individuals. Their names are linked to senior figures.
Absolutely certain of it.
