Alexander (Sandy) Bryson has been mentioned in reports concerning another controversial matter in SFA history. He was Head of Registrations when Celtic tried to register Jorge Cadete in 1996. That case led to SFA chief executive, Jim Farry, being dismissed for gross misconduct after he failed to register the player in time for him to face Rangers in a Scottish Cup tie.
The Burness report into what happened noted that Farry “deflected responsibility to Mr (Sandy] Bryson (head of registrations] …. (on] certain executive decisions”. In a contemporary article, Mirror Group Newspapers noted “it is unclear what part registration chief Sandy Bryson may have played in this debacle”.

Good. Will see him tomorrow, hopefully.

I read McConville’s take and he did the legal defferential bit as well.
For me it’s as perverse as the majority verdict in the FTT. Weaselling with words in order to connive an outcome.
I’m looking for natural justice not legal dissection.

So what did Spiers and Thommo have to say on STV tonight at 10.30? Anyone?
Doc
I know what I see, I know what I hear.
We can delude ourselfs that they are dead, tell that to the thousands that go to the bigot dome every other week, tell that to the msm in scotland, tell that to the people who run the game of football in scotland, tell that to the government who run the country, tell that to the police in scotland, tell that to the judiciary in scotland……….
Just don’t try to convince me what I am seeing, and hearing is a figment of my imigination.
I really am not that thick.

Agreed. They had to go down the road of EBTs because they realised we had become consistently financially stronger mainly through the support from the fans. This was, is and will continue to be our strength if we stick together through this.

Couldn’t hear it was shouting at the Telly to loudly.
In 2002 I worked with this guy from the Bronx. He was not very friendly at first, indeed initially, his body language was bordering on the hostile. Through time and humor we became friends. After a couple of years he confessed to me that he did not like white people, experience had taught him that.
He then invited me to his Ludge in Harlem. It was a Black Ludge. I laughed. He asked me about Scotland and its relevance to freemasons. I explained what I thought to be the truth….
Today I was angry. Then I laughed when I realized that the SFA, the media and oldco are simply a microcosm of what is going on in the wider world…
Banks too big to fail, and too big to jail, are found guilty of fraud and corruption, but are fined a fraction of what they benefitted from the fraud. They call the shots whenever and wherever. Politicians simply play the tune they think sustains their position of influence.
The Mainstream Media are focussed on celebrity nonsense, scapegoating, or playing to the gallery that is known as their market and its prejudices. Truth is secondary. Investigative journalism is considered an anachronistic superfluous expense.
When I was a kid watching World At War on Sunday afternoons I used to wonder and ask my father…Why did the Germans do this? Why did the German people think it was OK to invade other countries? I know the answer now. My country of residence and the country of my birth invade other countries to ‘liberate’ them and bring ‘freedom’ and no one questions it…. The media control the agenda.
The Mint, his vanity project and his relationship with the Bank are at the root of this debacle. The Media watered and nurtured it, and continue to do so. The politicians (Salmond, another Banker to trade, watered it further).
The old Divide and Rule is not only a strategy, it is an extremely profitable.
I do not know how Celtic PLC will respond.
I do not know how Celtic supporters will respond.
I do not know how Scottish clubs in general will respond.
I can see how oldco and its supporters are reacting.
I suspect in the longer term, their glorious guilt today will be a Pyrrhic victory….
What I do know is that Banks and Bankers, politicians and lawyers are central players in this dangerous debacle … And The Scottish Rite is a Globally recognized Enterprise.
I await the responses of bit players with profound interest…
One of the aspects of today’s ruling which really gobsmacked me was the assertion that they didn’t have a sporting advantage……why, then, did they decide to make these additional payments ……..57 administrations errors……hahahaha…corrupt bigots …. take a bow, and then crawl back into your holes…

Scotland Tonight review:
Chris Graham – what a weird looking guy! Had to agree about his conclusions regarding the SFA and SPL while being diametrically opposed to how he reached them. Thought he was a poor 4th. Had a fair hand of cards to play but was shown up.
Tom English – bizarrely stated completely cleared of cheating only to then give several examples of deliberate breaking of rules. Ok otherwise. 3rd place.
Graham Spiers – also bizarre opening with claim that title stripping not justified regardless of any scale of wrong doing. Otherwise good stuff. 1st=
Alex Thomson – a bit quiet and looked a bit bored, as if he knew he was surrounded by more feeble intellects (true). Made good points without getting out of 2nd gear. 1st=

You’re talking about a Government who had a very good set of statistics on sectarian crime, those stats didn’t suit their agenda, so they lost them. It is very difficult, near impossible to loose such information that has been passed from computer to computer. I find it hard to trust them on that basis. Then they produce a Bill to “even up” those same statistics. Ask Christine Graham, MSP.
So, while an independent Scotland sounds like a good thing, I am very wary of trusting the SNP, I have called them Covenanters before, they have done nothing to change that view.
The SNP may not ever be in government in an independent Scotland though.
Row Z – surely Thommo put up a fight? Even Spiers was tweeting that the report was damming of the RFC Board.
Hi. Don’t post these days but looking for a bit of off-topic info please.
There used to be some youtube footage of Hearts fans clearly singing sectarian songs, including “up to our knees in Fenian blood”. I can’t find the links I seem to remember.
Would someone kindly direct me to them?
I could write screeds on todays developments, but the thought uppermost on my mind is that we have always known that the establishment are Huns. Our success sticks in their craws. 1967 was the catalyst for their demise. Only by getting stronger, despite the favours and handshakes, can we continue to hurt them.
Ach, almost ready to write the screeds.
Instead, can anyone point me to footage of the hearts fans I’m looking for please.

Just because the law’s an ass doesn’t require the whole establishment to disappear up it in deference

The Huns are light years behind us
FFS they cannae beat Stirling Albion in two attempts
The game stinks …but so do the Huns
They will be back soon …but in what form …
TET,
what about this
“In the light of recent events Celtic Football Club will be actively seeking an exit from Scottish football, as we no longer have confidence in the integrity of the administration of the game in Scotland”
dawdle, it keeps it general, it does not say we are leaving but it does make clear that is our goal.
or
“Celtic Football Clup PLC has identified irregularities in the administration of Scottish football and have asked our legal team to investigate the financial impact to the club and shareholders, with the view to recovering lost finances via legal recourse. CFC PLC does not support corruption.

You’re welcome to your own conclusions ….
I’m not sure what you want me to say …?
martybhoy59 @21:56 ernie and his pals could not survive a public forum where slandering juries, calling people racists and anti-Scottish rhetoric could have serious consequences.

‘Ernie
Will you continue to attend games?’
Graham Greene used to describe himself as an almost lapsed Catholic. That’s kind of how I’m feeling at the moment. If the board do and say nothing then I just can’t see the point.

English backed the bizarre no cheating viewpoint.
There was some numpty, who had that smug smirk that conformed he was the Zombie supporter. He nearly reduced the discussion to a shouting match at one point. Thomson made one statement re- how can you spend all that ill-gotten dosh on players and not gain an advantage ? Speirs did state the decision was ahumiliation but he didn’t want their stolen booty to be stripped.
Deniabhoy
The report was very condemnatory …
Just watched the highlights of last night’s match.
Hadn’t realised just how poor Ambrose was in the run up to the second goal.
Badly positioned, missed the header, and is then easily beat.
He is a decent athlete, but it is going to take a lot of work to transform him into a player whom we can trust.

Christopher Brookmyre: “..old rangers officially only a wee bit cheaty”.
Good man yerself. Thats a St.Mirren fan going mental. Whats the world coming to?
Neil canamaler – I agree. A statement similar to those you are suggesting is exactly what I would like to see. Don’t see it happening though.
TET, never for one second do I mean to imply any such thing.
I just see it differently. I go to CP every second week and dance along to Zombie Nation, if ever Zombie FC come to CP they will leave in no doubt that is what the majority see them as.
No offence was intended to you.
Their fans are the same, that I will agree with you on that.
Scotland’s Shame, but denying them their history really does have an affect on them.
BCW…Mybhoys
Aye, twas ever so.
They know they can do what they want, and we will accept it, we really have no other choice.
To the victor the spoils, we may have won a wee battle, but for sure they have won the war.
They will be back, even more rabid, seeking vengance from those whom they think have kicked them, personally, I would have nuked them, and I would have taken my chances at the gates.

I found his position to be very contradictory …..happy to strongly condemn but gave a nonsense excuse for no title stripping ….

The first division will be a difficult one for them to get out of, especially if they keep Gregg’s best customer as manager.
” asked our legal team to investigate the financial impact to the club”

I thought it was our legal team that already looked into it?
