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.

seems it was Stranraer (yes… i know…) who felt that Sevco should have to apply along with any other interested parties.

Stranraer I believe.
Who was the one club?
I’d buy some of their merchandise if I can find out.
Would Spartans be anyones local derby in the SFL?
Longmuir, like Doncaster, has clearly lost the support of his membership. I trust he will be writing his resignation letter over the weekend.
Cavansam – see my response above.
well done Scottish football

Is tomorrow a ‘walking day’?
oh to see Jabba and co’s face at the moment!
Is that Carlos Bocanegra I just spotted jumping into a taxi to Abbotsinch?
Oooops phone on train. my point to Oglach is that his assertiin is way off the mark. “Ernie” called our manager a liar. Still backing him up?
So who’s more pleased they’re in Div 3- CQN or FF?
Happy days ….. Now make them show that they meet the criteria and let Spartans lawyers get medieval on their brass necks
LuxCelt
That’s a surprise.
I hope the likes of Spartans take legal advice, bring the house down.
Thanks

Rangers Div Three is also an anagram of both ….

Apologies if already posted, but Frankie Boyle is on fire on Twitter:
@frankieboyle: Rangers to Division 3. Every other Saturday one if Scotland’s smaller towns will get to learn what life was like in the time of the Vikings.
Just as the MSM were asking Mr Longmuir about whether the SFA would interject on the decision, Sky now stuck on a chap in a suit outside a London court… A good way to cover up bad news for them. Thanks JT.
Kirk Broadfoot reported to be “over the moon”. Prospect of getting a game.
Johnny Clash- or Carlos Santana?

Ok I bought a ruler and a lighter (and I don’t even smoke)!
I dont have the words to describe how good I feel at this very moment(over to you paul)
As the days weeks and months dragged on with this corrupt charade I came to believe they would be in div3 if anywhere.
BUUUUUUUUUT always I kept thinking this is hunland Ogilvie ,ballentyneDonkey et al would get their way .
THANK YOU THANK YOU honest men of Scotland.
ALLY ya fat sleekit coward im delighted you got your wish see you in 2016-2017
T4,
I cannot for the life of me understand peoples excitement at the hundead being issued membership and a place in the sfl as being a win for sporting integrity, IMO it is proof that the game is corrupt.
Any tips for York this afternoon greatly appreciated.
When will Football Manager 2012 be updated?

Ally McCoist was heard to remark, “Do they even have a Greggs in Peterhead?”
More from Frankie boy:-
@frankieboyle: Live in a Scottish town in the middle of nowhere? Book an A-level exam in Irish History because you’re about to get a fucking crashcourse.

Right now they will be swinging their spl2 plan into action
To the good people of Berwick, Cumbernauld, Larbert, Elgin, Montrose, Peterhead, Stirling, Stranraer and (particularly) South Glasgow….
-Sorry!
Apologies in advance, just noticed the ‘f’ word in Frankie Boyle’s tweet. Mea culpa
Frankie Boyle is bang on the money.
There will be only 2-300 of them travelling to support Tainted New Co, but this will make them more insular. The hun mentality is quite rabid, and needs to be carefully monitored.
My hope still stands that they are unable to assemble a football club in time and that rules are followed, thus rejecting their application.
Terry being found not guilty is more important to SSN than the vote going against the huns.Just about sums up what they think of Scottish football,glad I cancelled my subscription
Ticketus looking to call in their IOUs?
13th July 2012. Hunmageddon Day.
I think they already stated last week that Div3 vote would lead to SPL2 in time for 2013-14, with the SFA sanctioning it regardless of obstacles.
THREE WHEELS ON MY WAGON
(Burt Bacharach / Bob Hilliard)
The New Christy Minstrels
Three wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along
The fenian b’s are chasing me
Arrows fly, right on by
But I’m singing a happy song
I’m singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
A mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those fenian b’s
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: “George, they’re catching up to us!”
“Get back in the wagon woman!”
Two wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along
Them fenian b’s are after me
Flaming spears, burn my ears
But I’m singing a happy song
I’m singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those fenian b’s
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: “Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?”
“Will you hush up? You and your maps!”
One wheel on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along
Them fenian b’s after me
I’m all in flames, at the reins
But I’m singing a happy song
I’m singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Right around that turn there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those fenian b’s
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: “George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?”
“Woman, I know what I’m doing!”
No wheels on my wagon,
So I’m not rolling along
The fenian b’s captured me
They look mad, things look bad
But I’m singing a happy song
SPOKEN: “C’mon all you fenian b’s sing along with me!”
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die…
