Smokebomb fan jailed for 5 months

Looks like the judge has made an example of this guy to stop others from doing the same. Thoughts?


A Motherwell football fan who set off a smokebomb during a match with local rivals Hamilton has been locked up for five months.

Calum Smith was described in court as an “exemplary” young soldier as his lawyer pleaded for him not to be sent to custody.

However, Smith was slammed by a sheriff who said such “dangerous” actions were on the increase and must be treated seriously.

Harsh.

strange how a soldier cannot understand the dangers of pyrotechnics.

5 months sounds harsh, but a message has to be sent out to these idiots.

An "exemplary" soldier, no less.

What a sorry, inconsiderate fool he's been. Whatever we may think of the five month sentence, it seems likely that Calum Smith won't ever be thinking it's a good idea to do such a thing again. A tiny victory for society, perhaps.

Still, a tough five months ahead for Motherwell, as well, with 50% of their fans in jail.

Very harsh tbh.

OP Skelper's own agenda for posting is not for the above reason but to deflect from his own delusional train of thought.

Glad I cleared that up.

rab the ger.

maybe your opinion would change if one of your family members was injured by one of these smoke bombs.

would you be sticking up for this exemplary soldier then.

The judge picked on a motherwell fan but if it was one of the victims he would have gave him and his minky brother a free holiday!! We're going to the dogs man.

We are indeed going to the dogs with the criminalisation of football fans. Soft targets and not a danger to the public.
