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.

Mate I’m not wanting to argue but the Italians have been very disappointing with their antics tonight .
COYBIG LOUD AND CLEAR
I actually bet Italy to win
But head ruled the heart
You’ll never beat the Irish :0)
Guys, the Italian cynical attitude is what Roy Keane was asking for more off from the Ireland lads in his press conference. It is part of football at the very top level.

Mate you are defending the indefensible here!
Italy will go far in this tournament and I hope they do it playing to their positive qualities
Take a breath
