Football fans banned after fight

Several Aberdeen football fans have been fined a total of £7,500 and banned from football grounds after a fight with rival Celtic supporters.

 

Tony Cross, 21; Nicholas Dalgleish, 18; Scott Grant, 20; Rognvald Harcus, 24; Dale McKeith, 19; and Dean Watson, 19, were each banned for three years.

 

Co-accused Colin Ord was also fined £2,000 over the incident outside Aberdeen's Gordon Hotel.

 

They admitted breach of the peace charges at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

 

The court heard the Aberdeen supporters had travelled to the hotel in Wellington Road by taxi to take part in an organised fight in February last year.

 

Dalgleish's solicitor, Iain Hingston, told the court his client had only become involved due to peer pressure.

 

He said: "He was very susceptible to peer influences. He enjoyed the camaraderie but it became rapidly clear to him he was out of his depth, realising the Aberdeen lot were outnumbered.

 

"He simply can't believe his stupidity."

 

Gregor Kelly said his client, Ord, now kept away from football and had cut down on alcohol.

 

He said: "Clearly he knew what was happening when he got a taxi up. He accepts he threw a stick but maintains he had been punched so picked up the nearest thing and threw it."

 

Sheriff Douglas Cusine told them: "This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable. Each of you came close to being put in prison.

 

"There will be a three-year football banning order for each of you."

 

Grant was fined £500 and the others were ordered to pay £1,000.

 

Ord also admitted breaching the peace and throwing a stick at rival supporters.

 

Sheriff Cusine told him: "You have a previous conviction for a football-related offence that I have to take into account.

 

"It seems clear you have not learned your lesson from that activity."

 

Four of the Celtic fans involved were previously banned from every football ground in the UK for a total of seven years.

 

Aberdeen lost the game 2-1 to Celtic at Pittodrie.

Did they not? If so that is a fail.

 

They went dressed as football casuals, which was handy...

These lads were merely blowing off steam after another Jimmy Calderwood horror show.

: : When will your hard on for casuals subside?

 

When i used to go to the matches there was lots of fights and like everyone else you just got stuck in (so im not going to condem anyone and yes we all know its wrong)

But why cant the polis not but out and let them get on with it (maybe it will give them more time to catch rapists and murderers etc)

Its human nature to fight whether at the football or on a saturday night out

I remember the days when aberdeen fans used to get treated like shit down in glasgow some got right doings and nothing was ever said (not just from the old firm the polis as well)

At least now aberdeen fans are sticking up for themselves.

 

 

Because whether we agree with it or not violence in those circumstances is illegal and therefor carries a punishment.

Human nature, absolute classic!

At least now?  Didn't Aberdeen have one of the most notorious groups of casuals in the 80s?  This guy is awesome too.

So these youngsters are banned, bet they'll still be going to Pittodrie like loads of others with bans

You can all say what you f*****g like but when people go to the football or out on a saturday night there is always some sort of trouble that ends up in a fight

people argue and people fight get over it

That's slightly different from saying its "human nature" to fight at the football or on a Saturday night.  Its not in my nature!

Casuals wear ugly, navy wind-cheaters now?

 

The old casuals should fight the new casuals.  A fight using their lack of individuality as their only weapons.

 

"Look, I'm wearing the same stuff that you are".

 

"That's awesome".

 

 

They're in court again next week after being charged by the fashion police.

I used to think the stuff you posted was funny, and I still do at times but this has just made you come across as a right arrogant twat.

 

You should maybe go to the South Stand and put this proposal to them, mention what you're saying here and say: "My idea is........"

 

I'm not sure they can read it on here - not sure they work by computers like we do. Also explain the error of their ways IN YOUR OPINION.

 

No point being the arrogant keyboard warrior, be outspoken face to face - its all well and good hiding behind the computer mate....... however let people know your feelings. You think its a good idea, so let them know.....

You could say that about anyone on here, including yourself. Would you go up to Ryan Giggs' face and sing the song you had in your signature about him having AIDS? Or does it only work this way cos it's to do with the casuals?

You don't really know me that will, but yeah I actually would. I've said a lot worse to people face to face.........

 

The song in my signature I think Giggs would laugh at it in my personal opinion. He was born with thick skin, and I'm sure he'll have been called worse also.

 

However would I sing it to your face and throw in your name.......no

So I don't know you that well (correct), but you know Ryan Giggs well enough to say he'd laugh at it?  In that case, can you get me a couple of tickets for United - Chelsea next month? Cheers.

You want me to get you tickets? Price range? I could probably sort something out for you............I can speak to a few people in Aberdeen that could possibly get you a ticket. Won't promise anything but I can try for you. Tis the season and all that.

 

I reckon he probably would, I'm sure he's been called worse from Scousers / Gooners....no? Assuming I suppose, but I reckon he'd take it on the chin, probably call me a cunt - what else could he do? Lash out at me? Wouldn't be bright.......

No, that's quite alright thanks, anyway.

 

I have no idea.

I asked a casual "what's the point in being a casual?" in Madrid and his token response was to try and fight me.

 

He just squared up and walked away.

To be fair it was one on one, probably not used to it.
