The Scottish Executive is planning new reforms in Scotland’s licensing laws including bans on happy hours and other “irresponsible” promotions. This kind of thing is good, as this country’s relationship with Ra Drink has always been somewhat love-and-hate, but when I read Tory MSP Brian Monteith‘s comments that we shouldn’t be treated like “children” and that he thinks that “[l]ifting the drink ban at all seater football grounds and at Murrayfield would have been a step in the right direction”, I was somewhat taken aback.

Is this guy actually promoting the idea that we should drink at fitba games? I can just see it now, the next Old Firm match, Celtic getting another one over the Rangers (sorry, couldn’t resist), and a stadium — it doesn’t really matter if it’s Ibrox or Parkhead, they’re both bloody massive — chock full of fans, one set absolutely buzzing from a win, another absolutely fuming from a loss, and Monteith thinks that plying this crowd with drink is a good idea? Someone give this guy a slap, or at least a stiff drink.

  1. yes, I can just see that now… Would make the 1999 riot at Parkhead when we won the title (sweet memories, but alas only memories) look like a quiet day at the park.
