Forums have admins and are self regulated. Anything really offensive will be removed fairly quick by the mods as they are responsible for the content of the board. Twitter and Facebook take little to no responsibility to what is posted by its members Also you need to be a member of forums to read a lot of the stuff and its not so easy to hit the retweet button to share it with your friends and the wider world. A joke about a general offensive subject is one thing. A joke aimed purely about a recent tragedy is something you need to watch your audience with or in the case of trolling is to get a reaction. People really need to start learning that the Internet is the real world and if you are not careful enough to ensure you are only sharing stuff with people you know you need to learn your actions and stupidity will have consequences. Before the Internet you may have ended up with a broken nose from big bloke in pub. Now you end up with a media circus and death threats from strangers all over the country which the police then have to waste valuable time investigating.

I believe the law he or she will have broken is in the same category as adding 'breach of the peace' to your charge sheet. I haven't seen the tweet but I don't believe it has racist or sectarian words, it's just a combination of words which in a particular context or situation will offend and could perhaps incite something more serious ie death threats or in extreme cases public disorder or riots etc. The tweeter is free to say what they like but they need to be educated in timing, tact, an when to go public and when to keep it for yer mates. Hopefully it will just be a copper round his house explaining the situation and giving him a caution 'for his own good' and then he gets a clip round the ear from his mum or dad. The media will be the main drivers of this one as without them the cops will just say 'stop being a wee dick as it gives us more paperwork

Having caused myself plenty of grief with past Internet posts I eventually adopted the attitude of 'if I wouldn't shout it out loud in a room full of strangers then I won't stick it on a public forum/ social media. Personally fed up of twitter and people's attitude when they get behind a keyboard and their ignorance or reluctance that every action you do will have a consequenc be it positive or negative. However the media doesn't need to report such things as Internet trolling of tragic events but of course chooses to on occasion so as to prolong the story. Fairly sure the cops would just want to tell him he's a wee dick and make sure he doesn't do it again but whether or not they are under media pressure to make an example will affect the outcome

For some a competitive league is Armageddon.

Yon Tic 2-0 down at tannadice. Looks like its 3rd/ joint 2nd for christmas but stops them opening up a big lead

murmurs that Ashley is going to simply 'write off' the 3million loan he gave them a few months back and then essentially give them another 8million loan (with no strings attached of course). Some sort of masterplan that he can give his 'sports direct' business Champions league exposure. This will of course result in Sally being punted before January is out.

well they really do look like wanks now they have decided not to take this to Switzerland. It was either Roddy Forsyth or Tom English in the press last week slagging them and suggesting 'keep your mouths shut until the decisions have been made in future'

Hereford United Liquidated http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-30542821

Where did you get the video and would you be willing to post a link to it here?

What this league really needs is someone other than Celtic or Rangers to win it.

Apparently SPFL witholding tv cash (£250k) over the EBT thing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30510604 As the bully slowly weakens his minions start to grow balls?

Jim Jeffries - Dunfermline (Resigned) John McGlynn - Livingston (left by Mutal consent) Mark Roberts - Ayr United (sacked) St Mirren fans taking note i wonder?

Soooo they are saying Logan didn't lie and neither did Tonev.... However for me its starting to look a bit like they are taking a step back and putting it all onto yon Villa boy.

Your Move Celtic http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30496680

Been approved at the AGM http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30489266

Seems to have gone very quite on the old Tonev front. The Sally circus providing a bit of relief for their PR team

Europa League Inter Milan Vs Celtic Besiktas vs Liverpool Fiorentina vs Spurs Everton vs Young Boys (Bern)

It really is getting embarrassing the way they are reporting their attendances Figure they gave to the press for today's game was 44,827. 24,000 would be pushing it going by the highlights

Sounded very convincing on the radio too Shame McGinn's luck wasn't in

Lets be fair now The only people Tore Andre Flo took the piss with was Rangers

Not in football seemingly Do shite and get sacked - Get your contract paid up Do shite and resign - Get your contract paid up It appears the only way you don't get paid off is if you are sacked due to a criminal charge (Seem to recall a dons player from the Mcghee era getting punted midway through the contract over an illegal drugs charge)

Pennies to spurs. I reckon £3956.66 each wont be to the guys who thought it would be a laugh.

Nope Some boy called Norman Crighton (Non Exec Director) jumped 2 days ago after 1 year in the job
