Was he? Looks about 12, and doesn't mention his age in the article.
Obviously not condoning the 'youngsters' actions, but regardless of age you can't go around picking people up and throwing them about.
Course you can. The BTP do it all the time (boom boom). Sod it, he deserved to get chucked off. If he was < 18 you may have a point. But tough tits. It was hardly violent. |

If you drink & drive and drive and are involved in an accident it is your fault, because you have broken the law & shouldn't be there.
If you steal a car/bike, are pursued by the police and crash it and injure yourself, It's your own fault. if you didn't break the law in the first place it wouldn't have happened.
If you break into someones house to steal from them (or worse), and it happens to be some nutter who beats seven bells of shit out of you (yes Duncan Ferguson), it's your own fault. You broke the law & shouldn't have been in there.
Same thing applies here, travelling on a train without a valid ticket is an offence. The twat was given the opportunity to buy a ticket or leave the train. He didn't, and therefore it's his own fault.
It's about time that some people realised that your actions come with consequences.

Fair point Posh...but if it gives the green light for it to happen up and down the country then it is only going to end in violence and death. Lots of people who dont pay are addicts and people who dont give a fuck. What exactly are the transport police and the normal police here for....if he didn't have a ticket then he should have been arrested end of. It is a fine line granted. |

It won't be long before all our news is delivered by YouTube. Piss poor reporting.

Two sides to every story; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-16177725Fuck knows what the truth is, but you can't tell anything from that video and I doubt the passengers heard the entire conversation that led up to the disagreement. Plus the conductor wasn't too friendly in the video, I'm sure plenty on this forum have had run ins with them going to away games. If you're going to do something like that (getting physical with someone and throwing them off the train) then you better be sure you know the facts and that you're in the right. Got a feeling that bloke didn't do that and could pay the penalty, as could the conductor for encouraging it. Don't think there was any need for the level of force that he used either. |

I feel sorry for him.
Being thrown off a train in West Lothian is never nice!

Haven't been to be fair. When I lived up there I tried to stick to the confines of Edinburgh. The parts of West Lothian I went to were instantly forgettable and I couldn't wait to get back to safety in Capital City. |

It is in my work as there is only 1 woman who works here & about 15 men, she is quite open minded about these things, she even came to the strip club with us last on our christmas do. Saying that i wouldn't even touch her with The Flash's. |

I think the "safe for work" question is more about how employers feel about you spending time at work looking at semi-naked pictures instead of working, rather than how many women may be offended. |
