After they hatched their plan to blackmail Scottish Football League clubs into voting Newco into the First Division, Stewart Regan, Neil Doncaster and David Longmuir might have paused to wonder what reaction they would receive.
You better believe they didn’t anticipate the reaction today from Clyde and Raith Rovers. Rovers chairman, Turnbull Hutton, told BBC Scotland’s Jim Spence, “If we are at the stage of bending rules and accommodating, threatening and blackmailing, we want to give it up.”
“Bending rules… threatening… blackmailing…we want to give it up”.
Hutton went on to suggest heads should roll at the SFL, SFA and SPL. He’s the first from within the football establishment to call for sackings but he’ll not be the last.
An extensive statement by Clyde FC concluded, “The papers include a proposal to allow a Newco to enter the 1st Division. This is contrary to the rules of the SFL and nothing within the papers justifies this proposal.”
Regan, Doncaster and Longmuir will now be contemplating that their bully-boy tactics will fail. SLF clubs will vote against their recommendations and SPL clubs will not stop promotion from the lower leagues based on merit. It looks like abject failure of leadership.

Long way from any conclusions but there is a real sense that we’re getting there

That is not relevant in any way to what Stephbhoy said.
He was making a point about the squad, quality and size.
He was no more happy with those results than you were, read the whole conversation and you will see that.
Sorry for the delay in replying.

I bet TETs wine cellar took bit of a doing.
Never mind Regan,…et al….
IFAB —- The International Football Association Board is the body that determines the Laws of the Game of association football.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Football_Association_Board
http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/law/ifab.html
“Why have there been so few changes to the Laws over the years? Why is the IFAB considered to be a conservative organisation? The answer to these questions is straightforward: the attraction of the game of football resides in its simplicity. And as guardian to its Laws, the IFAB seeks to preserve the original seeds on which the football has blossomed so spectacularly.”

I wouldn’t get too excited as to the name of the source … it’s what he told Alex Thomson, and at length, that is important.

If it can be proved that the SFA knew they were doing wrong when granting Rangers a license then they’re up shit creek.

True, and it needs to be proved.
And from what I’ve just heard tonight, Monday may be even more interesting than I had thought…

How the devil are you? Had a year or so sabbatical from CQN! Think I told you why, but now retired, and a ST holder looking forward to maybe meeting you, at last, in the near future.

as long as it gets there in the end the timing is not important
A week or so ago there was a bhoy enquiring about paying a season book up over ten months – anyone know if he got sorted?
Sorry, I meant to say
I wouldn’t say that just yet.
