The Scottish FA has an interesting history of leaked emails. I hear. Today’s presentation, by that persistent thorn in the side of those who would rather awkward questions were not asked, Alex Thomson of Channel 4 News, is surely a contender for Leaked Email of the Season.
The critical words, written by SFA chief exec Stewart Regan on 23 June to various people, read:
“In parallel to the above, could Rod Petrie please brief Charles Green confidentially..”
So on 23 June, Petrie and Regan were on the onside with a plan to “gain buy-in to the plan” from SFL clubs to parachute Sevco into the First Division, and the SFA chief exec had instructed that the chief exec of Sevco was “confidentially” instructed on this plan.
On 24 June Rod Petrie’s Hibernian took plaudits for their statement of intent to reject Sevco’s application to the SPL, adding that “This re-affirms the view of the Board that the sporting integrity of the SPL is of paramount importance”.
Petrie and Regan are on the main Scottish FA board, along with former Rangers director Campbell Ogilvie (president), Alan McRae (vice-president – although I don’t think that means he is in charge of vice), Ralph Topping, Tom Johnston and Barrie Jackson.
It is no wonder our earlier calls for resignations have been echoed by SFL chairmen today. Sack the lot of them, I’d say.

Sack them all is right Paul. This is a complete farce!!! The laughing stock of world football (again).
Ok im off to vist wee Oscar on my lunch here. He’s very unwell at the minute. He is expected to be very ill all next week so its gonna be a tough time.
Fingers crossed for as smooth a ride as possible.
Anyone willing to help out with fundraising eg organising a pub quiz, abseil event, bike ride, run, please drop us an email to teamoscar@hotmail.co.uk and we’ll help out as much as we can.
Incidentally we have 2 dates for an abseil of the Europa Hotel in Belfast- Sat 8th & Sun 23rd September. If anyone would like to take part (it wont cost you anything) and help raise a lot of money, again, drop us an email and we’ll fwd all the details. All #TeamOscar abseilers will be invited for a pint or 2 afterwards so it should be good craic.
I know there are many of you already with events in the pipeline, thank you so much for your support!!!
A girl ran a pub quiz in Omagh last friday night and raised over £3000 in one night for Oscars appeal! If 50-60 people done similar we would have the money in the bank!!! :-)

Paul67 –
Can we really expect any other outcome from Luddites?
Time for forward-thinking people to come in and sort out our game. The clock is ticking for these bampots at Hampden.
Paul. If Celtic were not supportive of these plans it is imperative that they make a statement distancing themselves from the plans.
Silence in this instance is a very bad idea.
So everyone who questions the Board is a Hun…
as is everyone who doesn’t question the Board.
This is like some mad’ Invasion of the Bodysnatchers’.
I’d better shave my head, in case the ole 5 stars have miraculously been tattooed there over night.
Ooopppppss to quick with that Paul.
I see Thomo has tweeted the recipients.
Ernie. Please note: not a single Celtic employee or board member. Ah but wait. I see your get out clause!!! Rod Harper (McLeod).

The leaked email from S Regan was sent to: Barrie Jackson; Jim Ballantyne; Rod Petrie; Alan McRae; Neil Doncaster; R Topping…

It’s like the latter episodes of the Battlestar Galactica reboot, where it turned out pretty much everybody who was fighting the Cylons was also a Cylon and/or an attractive young woman.
Frak! (thumbsup)

“That’s what SHE said!” (thumbsup)
Depending on the circumstances, that might not be a compliment…
To clarify today’s vote: 30 SFL votes, 16 majority required for each resolution. In event of tie, chairman (Ewan Cameron, Alloa) decides.

Another curio from the Regan leaked email. Point “1. The Rangers FC will be relegated to the 1st Division of the SFL with immediate effect..
Steinreignedsupreme – Depending on the circumstances, that might not be a compliment…
And my reply was “Hey baby… why are you still here?!?”
Giggity. (thumbsup)
DBBIA @ 12:56,
That’s nowt to worry about – all going well, you can just add another 15 to the tally soon enough :)
SACK THEM ALL. THEY ARE A BASTARDISATION OF WHAT LEADERS SHOULD BE.
homson@alextomo
“…and will be replaced in the SPL by Dundee FC.” Odd since they cannot be relegated. And shows SFA have decided in advance of today’s vote
SSN……………………..Sevco presentation leaked
Serge
I hope so too. I was going to say I think we also need a big striker as well in the Sutton/Van Hooijdonk mould, but notice from wiki that Rhodes is 6ft 2. Not sure what he’s like in the air but at least will have reasonable presence.
HH
I have it on good authority that the Sevco presentation leak is genuine. On seeing it, Moisty asked his high heeled secretary Durrantie what it said.
Jordan Rhodes is 1.884375634821m tall [approx]
BBC Scotland’s Brian McLauchlin
“The SFA will issue a statement after the decision is made by SFL clubs.”
SSN……………………….Talks now in full swing
Is it true that when Barrie Jackson first introduced himself to Rod Petrie
that he said “My name’s Barrie”
Rod replied ” That good, eh? What is it then?”

I never took you as a Family Guy fan….
“That is freekin sweet”…
Peter Griffin is awesomeness personified
Little known fact that young master Rhodes was named after his father’s favourite Prefab Sprout album.
Skocking then that he wasn’t called Steve or McQueen.
I think the vote will favour Sevco into div 3.
The SFA may (should) then deny the application for membership on the grounds that do no fulfil the criteria.
If not, I expect other applicants to raise legal action against the SFA.
Div 3 would then have a delayed start to the season and there will be NO Sevco playing during this season.
Ernie reminds me of the old Gulag joke
3 guys in a cell the Gulag 1932
Prisoner 1 What are you in for?
Prisoner 2 Supporting Comrade Zhukov? What are you in for?
Prisoner 1 Opposing Comrade Zhukov.
Prisoner 1 to prisoner 3 What are you in for?
Prisoner 3 I’m Comrade Zhukov
Well done Stranraer:
“…while Stranraer suggested that Rangers should be required to apply for admission to the bottom tier along with other interested non-league clubs.”

From what I’ve seen of him on youtube he looks very good in the air & also quick feet. He has to be our number one target this summer. Can’t wait for the day he signs ;-) goal machine! HH

Steve McQueen – a great album.
or Andromeda Heights.
Why will the SFA make an announcement of the SFL’s decision?
Am I right in thinking this delay is due to Regan and Doomcaster switching the votin tombolas over?

eddieinkirkmichael, no. Celtic had no prior knowledge of and did not agree to this plan. Quite the opposite, in fact

Paul67 – If its OK with you, I wouldn’t mind quoting you on that from time to time, wherever and whenever there is another unsubstantiated attack on the CFC Board re their supposed collusion in the Grand Corruption
