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.

Oh, whatever and whoever is involved, that just sounds wrong. Having to get news about likely employment or lack of from journalists.
Karma can be so cruel.
As the more discerning poster will remember, I posted recently on my preferred unfurling party.
It would consist of Neil, Fergus and Brian Quinn. The latter being two men to whom the collective support owe an apology.
Brian Dempsey issued an invitation to Ahern to Celtic Park. He was not authorised to so do and Fergus let him know it.
A good judge of character was our Fergus. Bertie’s MO was more suited to the other side of town.
New name for ibroke?? Greens Playhouse??

Some great stuff being said here today.
Hail Hail! to the lot of ye!
I think our Declan is on holiday with Lord Lucan!!

‘semantics and technicalities’ Traynor
that will be lies then Jimbo!
borderlandbhoy, the answer is to entertain the fans. Controlled, defensive football is dull and boring. It may be successful at times but it is ultimately dull.
Every team you put out, you should have the aim to win by playing entertaining football. Celtic fans have always recognised good football even when it is played by the opposition.
I will never forget many years ago when Dundee Utd were a dominant force in Scotland. Celtic had been outplayed by Dundee Utd at Parkhead and Celtic had been given a hiding. Celtic fans cheered their team off the park that night, despite the result. They had given it a real go but were outclassed by a better team on the night.
That is fair enough and due recognition went to Dundee Utd that night.
I can accept defeat by a team which is simply better than us, providing we have given it a real go. Beating a crap team, playing crap football ourselves is not acceptable. I am proud that unlike RFCia, Celtic fans have never accepted this.
Win, but win with style.
Dictated en- the. Paris Celts meet et the Harp Bar, Metro Place de Clichy.
You will get a warm welcome. Plenty of restaurants etc nearby and not far from Sacre Coeur.
Bloody iPad predictive!
Mort – just catching up, many congratulations to you and your good lady.
Is the Brennan bit in honour of P67?!!
All the very best to your new family.
TTTT
Does anyone know if there is a PDF copy available of yesterday’s judgement on the Huns?
Traynor has just said that £1m of the BK bid is based on R’gers reaching a Champions League quarter final…
Are they in a parallel universe?
Stupid Huns
Shortbread trying to still put breath into the hvn. Pathetic.
More importantly bringing wee Fergus back would be wonderful. He so deserves a magnificent applause from 60,000 fellow Tims. This time I am 100% certain that’s exactly what he would receive – a rapturous and well deserved welcome.
Saint Lubo,
Yes, I agree. I can well remember games from the late 50s and early 60s, when we had the makings of the Lisbon Lions but were often beaten. It was a regular occurrence for the support to cheer the team(s) off the park, because they had entertained and done their best.

I’ll give you Lewis Hamilton, George Osborne and Amazon.co.uk
also………. General Belgrano for captain………. not for being a tax avoider but because you may be steaming away, but you know your going down………

good points saint, i would like to think if “they” do disappear that the remaining teams would come out and give it their best, there is some cracking talent coming through in scotland, maybe now we will return to how scottish football was in the 80’s before minty and sooooonessss re-invented the game up here.
when pundits and hacks talk about our game stagnating in the 70’s – 80’s what they really mean is der hun wasnt winning and that scenario in scotland is just not acceptable.
how many different league winners did we have during the 80’s, we had teams contesting in europe and winning in europe, its a long long way to go but lets hope, hh

The social impact of Rangers going to the wall
One of the side-issues of this unique affair has been to me, the lack of political involvement. To a certain extent you can understand it, no politician would want to be seen to “take sides”. But is it time now for politicians/commentators in this country to start to look at the social consequences of Rangers going out of business?
There are plenty of fanciful ideas out there. How the demise of Rangers will see the start of the end of sectarianism in Scotland. Perhaps but it is more likely to be driven underground I think. Or how Rangers supporters will start to drift away to start supporting other, more locally based clubs. This may happen as well but if it does it is likely to be in the single figure percents.
More likely though is the plain fact that with Rangers gone there would be thousands, likely tens of thousands of predominately young men who, at a stroke have had their release valve taken away from them. Young men who might be working in mundane jobs, whose one event of their week, going for a pint with their mates followed by the match is deprived from them? The occasional bus trip to far-flung places in the land gone at a stroke? What are they supposed to do? Take up crocheting?
More likely we will have a group who are sorely pissed off, swearing revenge on anything that moves. Is it fanciful to suggest that we might see civil disorder on the streets of Scotland the likes of which we have never seen before? I’m not saying it would happen like that but it is a situation in which Scottish politicians at least have to consider. This is not after all a Third Lanark or Airdrie or Gretna we are talking about here. And maybe was the real reason for Kennedy to say that the administrators would have “blood on their hands”.
Scottish politicians have to, before it is too late, see not just the economic consequences of Rangers collapse (which are obvious) but also the danger to the social fabric of this country.

Bit of help needed, after the last huns game, I changed my screen wallpaper to the GB’s 4 Horsemen display from a link posted here. However, I had to reformat my HD last week and lost it, anyone got a link to it?
Meanwhile over on r***ersmedia, the huns are buoyant after hearing about nacho novos new tattoo, fuds.
jeezIthought, try this

jobo
think it looks like Bar67 for after game drinks..
BT
soon as confirmed I’ll be in touch
Afraidio Scotland now commenting that the reason some clubs are unlikely to exclude a newco from the SPL is because so many are on the verge themselves.
One question, would they be so close to the verge if they had not been forced to try to compete with an overspendind RFCia?
if its true the that hmrc will not under any circumstances do a cva regarding paye
and ni +vat why is there even talk of a cva?

thank you my good man. At least they two can sing for their supper.
“we will have a group who are sorely pissed off, swearing revenge on anything that moves”
so what exactly is this poster on fanny fanny trying to say?
sounds to me like status quo
they are permanently ragin, just means there will be more ragers ragin aboot.
on the flip side it will save councils money (ask manchester, barca, etc) scottish transport will have less insurance claims, pubs wont have to shut on match day cos “they” are in town and stadia wont be vandalised to the extent that these animals do.
everyones a winner babe

BT – cheers.
Don’t some of those bars usually restrict it to ‘regulars’ on big days? Or will I be on Oldtim’s guest list? ;-)
Cheers Sparkleghirl, life is complete once more.
Jobo
HT and CT will be your ticket in…
they are regulars, I have been in a couple of times this season so obviously they will let anyone in….

LMAO.
Dumb, dumb Huns. Keyboard wariors.
I know what they’ll do.:
NOTHING.
Just like they did to stem the demise of their poisonous empire. They’ll sulk, shout a bit, cry a lot, attempt a few assaults on Tims.
But ultimately, the demise of Rangers brings about a new state of awareness among the ‘peepil’ mentality – that their archaic methods of intimidation and domination are worthless, pointless and impotent in a modern world.
It’s not 1690 anymore.
Stupid, stupid Huns.
Jabba and Chic defending Rangers. Apparently the SFA knew what was going on and they didn’t do anything. Good grief! It’s always someone else’s fault.
