Martin I'm kind of concerned about the number of comments coming from Scots and even the Scottish First Minister and media along the lines of "It isn't our fault." It IS our fault and the part drink always plays when stuff like this happens can't be ignored. I don't care about the numbers either. I saw a policeman being tripped and a mob on top of him as soon as he fell. What if they'd killed him? And it is also true that there were incidents all over Manchester where damage was being done to property too and people were scared. Imagine being in Glasgow City Centre with supporters from a team from elsewhere maurauding about like that. How would we feel? Yet even Salmond seems set to blame the Police for "over-reacting"? This was sheer violence. Yes something went wrong with a screen but that doesn't justify public riot. The minority involved doesn't matter either. A small minority of 100,000 - 150,000 is still enough people to do a lot of damage and create a lot of danger.

I still say they shouldn't have been allowed to travel without tickets and that they shouldn't have been selling them booze from 10 in the morning. It was madness.

Claire I watched that footage and they were like wild animals that policeman could have been killed. He will most likely have nightmares for a while to come.
I watched FMQ I don't think Salmond made excuses I think he wanted the truth. He also made the point about Scotland's reputation and how this has now been damaged.
