Appellate body CEO taking sides

826

So the chief executive of the appellate body awaiting a decision to appeal says, “It’s crucial with league reconstruction being such an important issue for the game that we now draw a line under what’s happened”.

According to the SPL Commission the president of that same appellate body was one of the “directors of Oldco [which]must bear a heavy responsibility” for what happened.

Responsibility, however, is an unnecessary concept for the chief executive of the appellate body, who told the media “It’s not about trying to find scapegoats to take responsibility for what’s happened in the last 12 months.”

Note use of language, those responsible are now “scapegoats”.

Scapegoat, def: A person or group made to bear the blame for others or to suffer in their place.

Let’s not look for scapegoats.  Instead let’s stick to who Lord Nimmo Smith’s Commision blame, “the directors of Oldco”.  Including the appellate body’s president.

The appellate body is unfit as an appellate body and as a football association.  SPL clubs must look for a new playing environment.  Let the SFA and SFL run the grassroots game. They appear to want this anyway and I am sure SPL clubs will flourish when no longer restricted to opposition from Scotland.

    Griffiths is a decent striker, but Celtic class?

     

    SPL level totally, but Europe?

     

    Not sure. Need convincing. Is he still on loan at Hibs? Or have they bought him.

    Celtic first

     

     

    If O’ Brien had done the right thing and resigned all those years ago after abusing his position of trust then the church would not be facing, as Prof Tom Devine put it, it’s gravest crisis since the Reformation.

    Leigh Griffiths is a total NED but he’s a great player..Mmmmmm?

    Your previous post re cricket and ashes was a tad masonic itself ? You obviously know my interest ?

    Not at all, I loved watching Botham as a kid. I liked his attitude and I guess the commentators at that time left an impression on me.

     

     

    I’d be most interested to hear your comments about how my comment sounded Masonic.

    Griffiths comes with baggage (not forgetting his Tweets).

     

     

    A guy like him in Glasgow would become a problem if he didn’t screw the nut.

     

     

    He has ability and talent of that there is no question but so did Derek Riordan.

    O Brien was hoping the people he abused would die and the scandal wd die with them. Ill say it again. He should have chucked it years ago!!

    Just an observation…..

     

     

    The only people to come out and say Rangers are dead was Green and Traynor….

     

     

    That’s a fact we shouldn’t let my one forget …

    Probably not see it in my time,its coming though.

     

    Their masonic halls are emptying as is the orange halls.

     

    There will be an upsurge in attendance due to death of their old club.

     

    I expect that to pass as they struggle and realise green has been feeding them pash and does a runner.

     

     

    Nite got a mad cat to deal with.

    Its probably been posted here before but keep this SFA handbook link handy (maybe download it and keep them honest ha ha ha)

     

     

    http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/SFAPublications/ScottishFApublications2011-12/Scottish%20FA%20Handbook.pdf

     

     

    Check out article 12.3

     

     

    Furthermore, all payments, whether made by the club or otherwise, which are to be made to a player solely relating to his playing activities must be fully recorded within the relevant written agreement with the player prior to submission to the Scottish FA and/or the recognised football body of which his club is in membership.

    Re Leigh Griffiths

     

     

    Although not carbon copies of each other as players, I don’t think griffiths is a better player than Anthony Stokes?

     

     

    Same goes for Russelll at the moment, I think Stokes is the better player, though I rate Russell highly.

     

     

    Would like to see what McKay-Steven (sp) could do in the hoops mind, he is a prospect.

     

     

    It would cost us to do business with utd though.

     

     

    Which is why I expect we will bid for Charlie Austin when Hooper goes (if he is going, I hope it’s after the three qualifiers).

     

     

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if Stokes left (off field stuff). Then it who’d be interestingto see us test du’s resolve.

  11. iPaddy McCourt on

    One last thing – Leigh Griffiths is a horrible little racist who should never be allowed near a Celtic jersey!

    I’m Sure Petec’s Notions About The Masons…..

    Listening to this for the first time,

     

     

    I’m not going to be Speculative and guess what is in it.

     

     

    The Masons don’t worry me as much as the deeper Secret Orders that are under the radar. They all have the same symbols that are their language to communicate.

  13. Watched the Dundee v Utd game. Player that caught my eye was Stuart Armstrong. Thought he also looked good in the games played against us. Good physique and technique for a big man.

     

     

    Perhaps we should sign him instead of Russell or McKay-Steven? Anybody else of the same opinion?

  14. Stringer Bell

     

     

    Ah agree..

     

     

    Russell,is good..but…

     

     

    Austin is Bettah…

     

     

    Mackay – Steven is a wonderful prospect..

     

     

    Yep.. Go get HIM.. Neil.

    Here’s the thing about Hooper and this Summer.

     

     

    He’s under contract and we need his goals to get us into the CL.

     

     

    Keep him until we get there (touch wood, sell him if the right offer comes in and he wants to go, if not keep him until January and then sell him if an offer comes in.

     

     

    The money to be made from the CL outstrips any of the money we’d get from a sale in the summer so play the percentages.

     

     

    Should we fail to make the CL sell him anyway and recoup the money.

     

     

    It is win win for me.

    Isnt it amazing that if the SFA wanted to know if Article 12.3 was being violated by any club in Scotland all they had to do was ask their own President :)

    For griffiths see riordan. Gary O’Connor is upset at not being mentioned…..

     

     

    I nearly started agreeing with TSD’s posts tonight then………

     

     

    One thing about the Hooper theory, if he stays for the CL qualifiers, is he not then cup tied, leading to a price drop/lack of interest from the top teams down south?

  20. Snake Plissken on

    Stringer Bell

     

     

    Sell it to him as his chance of a better move.

     

     

    Norwich isn’t worth it.

     

     

    CL goals gets him a move somewhere better.

  21. Bsr- my leprechauns are members of the Flatley crew and can be quite noisy, which defeats the porpoise! 10 Stellas iz much better and guarantees a sound sleep until the misses cracks you one in the ribs.
