Close to 100 people agreed to participate in the Scottish FA’s disciplinary panel, as Neil Lennon put it yesterday, “for the love of the game”. Processes were established and although panel members would meet and be introduced to club officials who were subject to their decisions, they were granted freedom from publicity in order for them to hand out punishments free of intimidation.
This freedom has now gone.
Such was the reaction to Ally McCoist’s public demand to know the names of the panel members who judged the actions of his club the SFA felt it prudent to select panellists who were happy to expose themselves and their places of employment to the outcry the original panellists endured. IF they uphold of increase the penalties.
On Wednesday evening we should find out whether intimidation of the SFA works.
The biggest scandal of all is that despite the consequences of McCoist’s actions, the SFA have taken no disciplinary action against him. Rangers officials are free to react to the appeal judgement in the same manner as the original without fear of consequence.
Other managers who are pursued for more prosaic matters might consider the SFA panel have something personal against them.

regards player sales going to the creditors ,that reminds me of the rumour that
Mcgregor.Whitaker,Davis and another were given improved long term contracts but were signed to a third party and not the club .
Was that rumour ever proven ?.
I thought the 5yr deals were strange at the time but regards the rumour that any third party deal would be against the rules .(although we all know how much CW loved to stick to the rules )
MWD-HASTE YE BACK.
If I were a hun,I’d be delighted at the news.
Mind,I’d also be worried sick.
They know next-to-nothing about any details,and are being asked to rely on blind faith.
Which has worked well so far.
i STILL DOUBT THEY WILL E PLAYING ANYWHERE NEXT SEASON
Morning all from a dull and dreek NE Scotland.
CVA? An alleged agreement with major creditors – I smell POOH. If HMRC do a deal for 6.7p in the pound will one of our financial experts please tell me why I can’t do the same? It seems as if they get to keep the house etc. Yet by only paying a fraction of what they owe they are basically allowed to start with a clean slate. If I am struggling with debt as an individual citizen all I can do is make an agreement with my major creditors is to stop interest on loans / CC etc I still have to pay the full outstanding amount over a set period of time – no pence in the pound deal for us. This doesn’t cover any outstanding Tax due. Now please tell me why can’t we all do a Rangers (IA) spend huge amounts of other peoples’ money then plead poverty take a wee hit for bit and start again with no debt?
Sound like a plan to me.
67ECW,
Where do you source your information?
fergus slayed the blues,
always thought that the big deals were just to bump up the prices, if there is any 3rd party ownership then game over (no word from the SPL investigation yet?)
MJM
The biggest part of the scam missed was the re negotiation of players contracts …..
This is the move to force HMRC to accept a CVA !
Accept our 6p in the pound Or the biggest assets will be released for free / nominal fee

Stay away from the pubic triangle – fecking dedly if i can remember
pauloantony,
Possibly but if the registrations revert to the SFA the players contracts with RFC (IA) become void so SFA would look for highest bids.
Note: above is guesswork.

Brian Kennedy press-co at 12 midday, from Edinburgh Zoo, he’ll be dressed as a giant mouse and plans to ram a scotch bonnet chilli up an elephant’s jacksey, I coooda been a contenda!
Stokes in the team and on the bench? I would have thught Watt or McGeogch as sub?
Not at the match today but still done my bit for my team.Proud to say I’ll have two sons two grandsons and now going to her first game my grandaughter Hannah.Unlike the huns our support will grow and grow.

Looks like Sammi starts with Anto on the bench, CFC twitt up!!
Strange Lenny playing our Sammi? I thought Sammi wouldn’t want to risk an injury so close to the Euros. It is after all a meaningless game. – Apart from getting our trophy back that is :-)
Baby sitters in place so on the walk from ruglen to paradise. Sister’s boyfriend a good Celtic man so insists I head into town after for a need.
Bank first then maybe BB’s. Ya dancer.

Here lies Rangers football club – murdered by cheats, thieves and rogues
By Gordon Waddell on May 13, 12 07:25 AM in
LIARS, cheats, thieves and rogues.
It’s getting harder by the day for anyone to find any case for the redemption of
Rangers among the detritus attached to their club.
Most have long since stopped looking. For any samaritan out there still trying to find the good, surely Friday was enough to make them give up the ghost.
A day when even reading about them made you want to reach for the wire brush and disinfectant.
A 27,000-word, 100-page document, replete with more smoking guns than an Afghan arms dump, which wrought shame even on the previously shameless.
Why wasn’t it published on day one?
That way there wouldn’t have been a single person reading it, even the maniacs and fundamentalists, who would have bothered their backside harassing the verdict’s architects.
They’d all have been too busy holding their hands up and admitting it was a fair cop, the punishment for what so many people in power had done to their club.
A justified transfer embargo should be the least of their worries. If the appeal on Wednesday does anything other than uphold the decision based on that body of evidence, it’ll be the biggest whitewash since they gave the Taj Mahal a facelift.
Although I’m led to believe they do have the power to increase the punishments. Tempting, sooooo tempting …
I feel sorry for their rank and file support, who simply want a club to watch on a
Saturday and feel engaged with, same as the rest of us do with ours. I feel sorry for the staff. We deal with them on a daily basis, the PR people, the security staff at Murray Park, the guys who look after us on match days. Good people, all of them.
All they want is the knowledge they have a job to go to in the morning.
But after Friday it’s hard to find any solace for any of them. Because trying to find one person with honour at the heart of their club is impossible.
Sir Dave the Duped? Exposed.
Not that anyone ever believed he was as gullible as he tried to make out with the whole wide-eyed mea culpa bit a few weeks ago – but still. His decision to sell to the man everyone had warned him about shows his whole “I’ll only get on the dancefloor with the right person for Rangers” line to be fanciful.
Self-preservation at its nauseating best.
Craig Whyte?
Every time I see him now, I see Trading Places. Some weird experimental bet.
Him sitting in Monaco with some other scheming rich kid, debating how quickly it would be possible to destroy a national institution.
Seriously, if he had come in a year ago and deliberately tried to run the worst business he could possibly run, he couldn’t have been more destructive than he actually has been.
The Tribunal’s notes prove it to be way beyond incompetence. Which does beg
the question: Why hasn’t he been charged yet? Taking the players’ PAYE and NI and using it to run the club is the definition of trading while knowingly insolvent, isn’t it?
And that’s not even mentioning the fraudulent ‘clip-art’ invoices being sent out in the club’s name.
If he doesn’t end this saga in cuffs, it’ll be a miracle.
Still, while we’re talking about intent?
Take a look at the administrators. I said this back at the start but when you go into a business in their position and your first duty is to get the creditors looked after, it should take seven minutes to identify and attack the single biggest cost base – not seven weeks.
That set instant alarm bells off for me. Their wage bill for the playing staff is north of £19million, yet they didn’t strike a penny off it for a month and a half.
Prevarication like that could only mean one thing. Premeditation.
Their constant use of the word ‘quantum’? That drives me nuts as well, for some
irrational reason.
Even their decisions to humour guys such as Bill Ng and Bill Miller without ever truly questioning their credentials or their motives wasted more time than they had.
The Blue Knights?
In Paul Murray’s defence, and I don’t know him at all, he’s the one guy in all of this who comes across as genuine.
Sadly for them, he just doesn’t have the money. And even more sadly, his stewardship of their bid is being consumed by the charisma of Brian Kennedy, a man who does but won’t use it.
A man who can clearly charm the birds from the trees if he’s been able to charm the shares from Whyte’s portfolio.
But let’s not be kidded, he’s no altruist. Brian Kennedy is in this, ultimately, for Brian Kennedy. The fact he let Whyte attach the condition excluding Murray from the board to his transfer of shares agreement proves that.
The details he gave of their bid – and the ignominy of the ensuing ‘he said, she said’ bitchfest with the administrators – also reeked. The impression given is the biggest losers if the Blue Knights take control will be the creditors, the very people Duff and Phelps are – supposedly – there to serve.
As for the rest? Charlie Green’s already getting a name as the club’s worst nightmare. And anyone coming in at this stage when the place is on its knees can only be one
thing – predatory.
Which then takes you right back to square one.
Any happy ending to a script this twisted and gnarled needs a hero to come from somewhere. But when your casting call only ever turns up villains, what chance do you have?
But the next 48 hours could be cruci… Ach, who am I kidding? You’ve heard the same old s*** since day one.
Save your sympathy for someone who deserves it
“A global brand”….dear God !

Not going to the game today due to a family communion so a bit pissed off if I’m honest.
Just read weasel ally’s comments in the SOS he is a horrible man.The man who asked for transparency reckons that the report from the SFA should not have been published before the appeal,so much for transparency eh? Although he is very happy that the panel names have been published and the liar even says he did not know the names of the previous panel,LIAR!! The quote from him in todays press:
“I am not sure the timing was ideal,well it was not” “whether is does prove prejudicial or not,theres probably only three men who can tell you that.You would hope it wouldn’t but you have to say that the timing of it at best is questionable”
WTF does he think he is,the arbiter of all that is right or wrong in Scotland?
I hope he stays long enough with the huns to get the sack.Weasel.
Well I’m here in Paradise- didn’t even know if I was going to be in Glasgow till Thursday- bought a ‘posh’ seat ar the last minute so I’ve even got a drink in my hand.
What a way to celebrate 50 years of coming here ( March 62)- I can’t believe where the time has gone but I know that this club, this movement, this family have provided the milestones in terms of great memories and great people.
I have a good few friendly ghost with me to- day.
I will have a drink for all of the in the Merchant City later.
Hail hail
Charles Green is an anagram of Rangers Leech as pointed out by Tam Cowan.
Lets hope it’s an omen for him sucking the last drop of blood out of thems.
A little Party tune for the day thats in it
