This seems to be a week for leaks. I hear one club recently refunded two investors to the tune of £500k each. Don’t worry, it wasn’t Celtic, and I hear the club involved are one of the most financially secure in Britain. I also hear the national broadcaster rejected a former presenter’s request to return to the fold.
Still nothing from the SFA, who were responsible for issuing associate membership to Newco Rangers, on the leak from the club’s board meeting that the Association expressed alarm that earlier information had leaked from chairman, Malcolm Murray. Mr Murray recently instigated an investigation into the relationship between Craig Whyte and Charles Green, the nature of which could invalidate Newco’s associate membership.
Far from being alarmed at leaks, the SFA should be keen to see full disclosure. Reports suggesting otherwise are alarming. I am sure the SFA president has already demanded openness and clarity……. Relax, standards of corporate governance at the SFA are as high as ever.
I am also sure the leak from Newco was not a shot across the SFA’s bows, providing a glimpse into what looks like some murky conversations which people at the Association could have much to lose from being exposed.

Auldheid,
I think it us a great idea and is one of the few things that will have this ridiculous situation investigated.
I wonder what other clubs fans are thinking about this. Surely it is not just us disturbed by it all?

Not been in cafe india for a while. .. strangely enough im in a debate on facebook about best indian food in Glasgow
Kebabish on Victoria rd is most authentic I have tasted
Good to see you on Saturday too… I met 7 cgnrs at that corner in ten minutes ;)
One final beg before I have to go. Does anyone know the dates of the 6 Champions League qualifying games we need to play this summer?
TTTT – The St J management would have made the decision, and you’d hope that decision would have been made in consultation with the St J team. If there was a feeling that the players didn’t want to applaud then the whole idea should have been scrapped.
However, once the St J management made the decision then they should expect their players to carry it through, rather than allow them to take over the gesture and use it to give voice to their own petty prejudices.
PF – so what, it’s hardly Jimmy Bell? We have bigger and more deserved targets and as you well know, we need to be selective in our battles.
Rip the SFA up by whatever means available, that’s the prize while we’re stuck in SPhell.

excathedra44 – our club took the decision to applaud St Mirren onto their park following their League Cup win. It was very sporting, but I don’t remember us doing that in recent seasons for other clubs.
I don’t know who decided that St Johnstone should give us a guard of honour on Saturday, but if certain players don’t want to applaud, then that’s up to them.
Would we have expected our players to provide a guard of honour for a league winning Huns team?!

———————————————————————————————–
St Johnstone made the gesture,it is up to the individuals, no question, however they should recognise their actions were unsporting at best and resentful at worst.
TTTT
When dud we start measuring ourselves against the Stinkies

My friend in Celtic , you’re probably right they wouldn’t but , again , we’re bigger than that.
In any event since when did we base what we should or shouldn’t do on their standards ?

Shenaz across from Mitchell library is also meant to be good.
Levinson concerns …AT must have been impugning someone ..
BT
Never heard of that one
We’re blessed with quite a few decent curry houses down this way
Did we not clap Killie on to the park recently after they won the cup?
PF – eh? Our people do that on a constant basis! The current theme being the valid comparisons between the behaviour of supporters at our respective UEFA Cup Finals!
My point is that we need to concentrate on hunting down Ogilvie, Bryson and the others within that corrupt football organisation and not be deflected by minor distractions. Nothing obtuse about it!

Huns clapped us after Lisbon.
PF..been to Akbars ..not impressed .chicken dish had cubed chicken meat and last section of menu was for Italian food! ..
Wait a minute ….

There’s always a way out for the cheats, good guys never win I’m afraid.

This wouldn’t upset me in the slightest.
Mind you, I’m saying that confident in the knowledge that, at 53, I won’t be living long enough to see it!!
Auldheid-Hope you are well,I and a few others posted during the Dallas email time,when it was obvious they were trying to save him ,we should boycott SFA sponsors.Adidas,W Hills,McDonalds etc.The only way still is to have a boycott campaign until the 5 way cover up is revealed for example.Other clubs would join in.HH

Its not poor sportsmanship. Its sectarian!!
TET,
A bit harsh

====================================
If I recall the then Chairman met us at Glasgow Airport coming back from Lisbon.
If the Thompson report has been pulled then surely there is no excuse for sharing it with us now, it’s no as if ant scoop will be spoiled
For all you mince curry lovers you can also make it into Indian cottage pie ! With spicy parsnip or potato mash topping
Very nice ..

Cos he was off to lloret to avoid our party!!

Might be. Was still drunk then. lol
the long wait – thank you for your considered response to my obviously sarcastic comment.
Unfortunately, most of us are not like Tommy, so we shouldn’t judge people for not being able to live up to the standards he set.
That includes a few daft boys wearing St Johnstone strips!
