To feel that the Sikh man whom was denied

[SoleSource]

Entry to a football match in Coventry, (because he was carrying a religious sword) was being unreasonable to complain as that sword could have been taken off him in a fight (from his pocket) etc and used against him etc.

A sword has the potential to be used as a weapon religous symbol or not....

Sorry I am unable to provide links as my phine is shyte.

i'm getting 'irked' here. when did you last see a sikh causing any trouble?

A very strange question but since no-one has answered it....

9.15pm last night.

Actually a stab wound can be inflicted by the dagger as described. Blunt or not. And a pretty damaging one at that. But overriding that consideration is the law. It's the law not to carry this sort of thing so abide by the law or face the consequences.

Yeah because that logic will end well for the the actual security staff who have to enforce it. Sikh's with knives fine, black guy with the same knife not fine "your sort have a history of trouble"

Several of my relatives have skean dhu, and as well as the real ones, they have a fake one for occasions where a blade isn't permitted.
This sort of thing.

I think it is correct to remove these items. Weather they are small/blunt or not makes no difference. If a non-religious person were to try and enter a football match they would be refused, possibly arrested if seen in the street.

And to the people who think it should have been confiscated and returned to him after the game....can you imagine applying that policy to 80,000 people?

Because in the interest of fairness, that's what they would have to do with all contraband items.

Saw this on central news last night.

apparently before the games there had been a letter sent form Seb Coe to someone high up in the Sikh community to confirm that they would be allowed to bring the knifes (not sure of the correct name) into olympic events, however it said they had not realised that football has different more strict rules, like not being able to drink alcohol when watching for example, so this guy wasn't allowed to bring in knife into the football at coventry stadium.

My brother once had a milkshake taken off him when going through the turnstiles into a football match as they said it could be used as an offenstice weapon!!

You could kill a lactose intolerant person with a milkshake Morph2!

Kill them stone dead.
