The core essence of Duff and Phelps protests at the SFA judicial panel punishment handed out this week, as they state, is that: “in our opinion do the panel fail to have properly apportioned culpability between the Club and Craig Whyte”.
Yesterday we found out the truth about how Duff and Phelps really think about apportioning culpability between a company and a director.
The Lawyer magazine yesterday reported:
“The administrators are suing Collyer Bristow and Whyte’s takeover vehicle the Rangers FC Group for at least £25m in damages. The firm is accused of conspiracy, breach of undertaking, negligence and breach of trust, with Withey – who acted as the club’s company secretary – complicit in the allegations.”
The Lawyer goes on to say that Mark Phillips, QC, acting on behalf of Duff and Phelps, “told the court that there was no evidence anyone else at Collyer Bristow was involved, but that as Withey had authority to act for the firm, it was liable for the losses flowing from his “conspiracy”.
Get this clear; in the opinion of Duff and Phelps QC, as Withey had authority to act for Collyer Bristow, Collyer Bristow was liable.
Craig Whyte acted on behalf of Rangers after 6 May last year just as the old board acted on behalf of the club before then. These people are using one argument to chase an enormous £25m but using the counter argument to subvert an SFA judicial panel.
The rules of the SFA are clear, Rangers are ‘liable’ for the actions of their directors, as anyone using this argument to pursue £25m should be well aware. These people are shameless.

CFC doing a great job , saying nothing in public , you know it would be twisted to suit an agenda.
I like their style .
They might never need to say anything.
The intimidation does not really surprise.
The rangers manager should be ashamed of himself regarding his remarks on the identity of the panel
He should make a full public apology straight away.
The SFA MUST come down hard on this and not allow their organisation to be bullied in such a manner.
Not often I agree with keeevins (if ever) but he was right when he took the Celtic fan to task abt bringin Neil Lennon into the SFA v Sally thing.

That is totally out of order. I would say unbelievable but with everything thats been going on its all too believable these days with that lot!!
You going on Sunday?

I received an email from serge who stated the same, seriously concerned about this weekend…
FPLG has shown himself up for what he is. A midden.
To knowingly put people in danger and he knew what the repercussions would be is scandalous.
If he doesn’t resign the SFA should be doing something to get him removed.
This clown could cause a helluva lot of trouble before that mob die.
I am loving those strips!
125 years had to be the old style narrow hoops.
Tri-colour one is a belter.

Do I understand correctly BT’s post? Is your son in Warsaw? If needs advice where to go or whatever, feel free to contact me.
Who tells/briefs Chris McLaughlin at the beeb that the appeal WILL be successful ! Daryll Broadfoot ?
Who , seriously ? Before the panel has sat !
I am going to a wedding at Hampden on Saturday and guess who are coming along to protest. :(
Cant see this posted over last 7/8 pages. Hasnt anyone noticed the asterisks at bottom of ST renewal page?

Would be fair to speculate this is an inside job by someone at the SFA. But if that turns out to be the case who at the SFA would be willing to leak the info?
Interesting.

My Brother-in-law is a rankers supporter. He says
” no one complained when we (thems) were signing all these big names IN FACT supporters from all over Scotland went to the games just to see these players, so everybody earned money at the turnstiles and got the pleasure of seeing these players instead of the usual SPL crap. But now it’s ‘ awe they shouldn’t huv signed them ‘cos it wisnae fair how they done it’ ” His own words.
He also thinks we should all let Whyte get on with it and sort it out without interference from anybody. Pearls of wisdom.

Not this time mate work will get in the way.
Would say the same to you and every1 going, for god sake grow eyes in the back of your head and watch where your going. Dont want to sound like i’m scare mongering but I do have a bad feeling about what they will do before, during and after the match. They dont seem to give a damn about anything now.

FavoritedFavorite · Close Open Details @JamesMacMillan3 Anti-Terrorism officers have briefed SFA and officials regarding security and safety…Guardian Journo…deeply disturbing!
Surely this appeal has got to be done by UEFA.
After the press Lenny receives whenever he lifts his arse cheek to fart, i fully expect that the full weight of the meeja will fall on fat Sally’s head…..aye right!
He should be hung out to dry for his statement yesterday, what he has done de facto is give the green light to the Hun hordes of Hades to go after the 3 man panel.
In this climate who would want to hear the appeal? Dignity indeed!
The fat bloater new exactly what he was doing when delivering his outburst and how the horde would react, surely that is bringing the game into disrepute at the very least….Vincent Lunny better be a busy man, and i would expect Strathclyde’s finest to be making a visit to Murray park to lay the smackdown on Blubber Bear.
Cheekie Chappie my arse, an incompetent fool…….

From earlier. A very good point well made. For the manager of Rangers FC to have made that broadcast, on Rangers TV I believe, (though I heard it repeated this morning on Radio 5) is totally unacceptable, and like you I hope the wider reaction in Scotland is one of revulsion. I would like to say I am pleased that the SFA have come out with a statement, but pleased is not the right word, I think it is a disgrace that they have to. I am no expert on the regulations relating to Broadcasting in Great Britain, but I am pretty sure they apply in Scotland as well. And I am pretty sure that McCoist has breached said regulations, and that other broadcasters have made a mistake repeating the content. Time maybe for one of Glasgow’s finest to have a word, in Ali’s ear!
I so hope that those strips are accurate.
They are the best 3 Celtic strips I have ever seen.
TT
Loved last nights game, although I had to watch it taped and fell asleep last 15 mins. I can understand Guardiola considering what he does next after such a result, Barca were brilliant and very unlucky not to progress Barca deserve better
.
Tonights game is fantastic and will still havea few new twists and turns to come.
Shame on McCoist, the wee baw faced …..person, what is so irresponsible is that it comes on the back of the aggressive and threatening language used by the big baw faced …..person, Dingwall Rangers Supported Trust, only hours beforehand. Something that should be looked at along with McCoists statement.

”ernie lynch, I read you so often assure Celtic fans here that the Celtic board will somehow assist Rangers in their attempts to survive.”
With respect, Paul, I suggest you read my posts more carefully.
I have raised the possibility that the Celtic Board might, by commission or omission, allow a newco huns into the SPL.
I have never at any time assured anyone that they would do so. Indeed I have corrected other posters on that point when they have assumed that I had said such a thing.
I have pointed out that simply voting no*, in the knowledge that there would be sufficient votes from other clubs to allow the proposal to go through, wouldn’t be acceptable to me, and that if faced with that scenario the Board should be prepared to up the ante by threatening to resign from the SPL. You have rejected that idea out of hand, indeed you have ridiculed it. I assume that in doing so you are expressing what you would understand to be the Board’s reaction to that suggestion.
As for accusing the Board of lying on this issue I am not aware that they have made any specific pronouncement on it.
Your suggestion of a private meeting with those in power, though of interest, isn’t really the way I would like Celtic to be doing business.
* This argument assumes that it is for the members, not the Board, of the SPL to decide whether a newco huns is allowed straight into the SPL. I infer from your previous posts on the issue that the SPL and the Celtic Board take a different view.
A charity just called to ask me to donate some clothes to feed the starving children. I told them to kiss my ar*e, anyone who fits into my clothes isn’t starving !!!
have to agree if those strips are indeed right then they will be in massive demand
So the bastions of Scottish society, described as part of the fabric of our society attack the very establishment they are considered to be an integral part of.
As I posted last night, some of them say that the punitive measures are draconian and unheard of. What they have done is unheard of, they have brought Scottish Football into disrepute. Name me one other Scottish Club that has done what they have done?
Some have said that Dundee, Livingston, Motherwell and Gretna were not punished so severely during their financial woes. The difference is these Clubs tried hard to make an honest way in Scottish Football, yes they went into administration and were penalised. However, they were not barred from signing Players because they lived within their means in relative terms but eventually ran out of money. And why did they run out of money because they paid their taxes.
Dundee, Livingston, Motherwell and Gretna did not use their taxes to pay players wages or buy new ones. How many Teams within Scottish Football and out with do they owe money to!!
Here’s a point, Hearts are owed money from them for Wallace. I did not see their game against the minis but from what I hear Wallace assisted with some of the goals. What a joke.
Jackson last night said they should suspend the transfer embargo and give them time to pay outstanding debts to Football Clubs. Two questions:
Where will they get the money to pay these debts?
How long do you give them before you impose the transfer embargo?
I would take further measures, I would either stop them playing Wallace and any other players until their previous Clubs are paid in full. Or return the players to their previous Clubs.
Paul,
Here is another opportunity to take action against a Club for the actions of of one individual i.e. Ally McCoist. Just as you point out in your leader, D&P are pursuing C&B for the alleged irresponsible actions of Withey, so too should the SFA make further punitive measures against rfc(ia) for the irresponsible actions of Mr. McCoist.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Yes agreed lads the 3 of them are spot on.
Breaking News…Breaking News…
Paul67 has indeed booked an omnibus to take CQN malcontents to Parkhead for a tete a tete with the High Heid Yins..
Now the Bad News…..Kojo will be your driver for the day….

I hope Ernie does take Paul up on his offer. Ernie has a cynical side and that is not in itself a bad thing, in fact I think it is in most cases a good thing.
I think Ernie is true to himself which is a virtue to my mind.I believe Ernie’s views post such a meeting would be galvanising (well I would bloody hope so).
I also believe that there is more malice in Super Ally than simple stupidity. Let’s see whether the harlot hacks circle the wagons around him or whether they condemn his incitements and call for appropriate punishment, bearing in mind that the silence of the harlots can often be more damning that a multitude of words.
Is there anyone viewing who could tell me if there is parking available in a street called Sandyford Place, just off Sauchiehall St.?

It’s clear Moisty has made a BIG mistake. He’s either VERY stupid, or we’re hearing the desperate rantings of a condemned man, who knows it’s all over and is just taking it out on everyone else. Or both :))))

Yes mate i was thinking the same thing, Tri-colour 1 is smart and it will wind them right up lol.
Love those strips, I would buy each one of them for sure.
Surely, merely a word in his ear from Strathclyde’s finest is not all that will happen to McCoist for what he said.That wasn’t either stupidity or incompetence; that was deliberate incitement. He should get the jail, sneaky wee get.
Just looked at the picture of the Thai Tims at Paradise on the Celtic website and what we (CFC and supporters) are doing for them. Compare this with the shambles that is Dignity FC(IA) Proud to be a Tim. Hail Hail Hebcelt
