You could be forgiven for losing track of Scottish football issues of governance, accountability and oversight, there are so many fronts to engage on. On the heels of CQN approaching Private Eye on the subject of Resolution 12 (granting of licences to participate in Uefa competitions), the newspaper today wrote about the recent Offshore Game Report on the SFA’s dealings with oldco Rangers’ tax affairs, the SPL Commission into Rangers, as well as the awarding of Uefa licences in 2011.
This is what functioning oversight looks like. Organisations with a platform to analyse those in power do so. In the Scottish goldfish bowl, we import oversight from London, which makes accountability difficult and, ultimately, makes governance ineffective.
No review of the Nimmo Smith Commission will take place until the Supreme Court has had their say, but any hopes of accountability you have at that point will rest in interest in the matter from London. We simply don’t have the structures in place here.

Yip, three years with us and on reduced terms .
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I love Martin’s Huarache Sandals…
Surfin’CSC
Thanks to all those who have sent thought, prayers and wishes to Wullie’s family and also the TGCSC. It’s been an extremely tough day and one where the whole of the CSC hasn’t got a clue what to do or say.
Wullie was an avid reader of Private Eye and i’m sure he would have enjoyed todays exclusive.
Happy Birthday Auldheid. I’m sure youve had and are having a good one.
Wouldn`t mind Hendricks against the huns.
Nearly 20 mins. in no early goals. Watch out the 5 minutes before half time.
Martin’s teams were always good at corners. I see that continues.
Close good set piece – will be a threat for 90 mins
Positive start high intensity tho’ needs a goal 1st half

So you are already questioning Brendan Rodgers on his view of the player’s worth to the club? You somehow know better?
Have we picked the wrong guy then to manage the club?
Good counter attack at pace – corner cleared
2nd corner
Penalty denied on whack to Shane Long – typical cowardly officials
THEEXILEDTIM
That would be worth the wait,big fella!
Ronnie Simpson in goal for Ireland – confident stuff
Hate Keepers doing that Randolph, Don’t do it again.
