Gruesome elements attached to the game

285
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The testimony of Gary Allan, QC, to Channel 4’s Alex Thomson, on the threats and intimidation he received after sitting on the SFA tribunal which imposed a 12 month player registration ban for various financial misdemeanours while the club was in administration, is stark.

The details of what Mr Allan went through is available on the Channel 4 website, it is so gruesome I’d rather not bring it here, but these are not the action of football fans.  This is a criminal subculture which has attached itself to elements of the game.  It would be an enormous mistake for anyone to pander to those elements, only chaos will result.

It is painfully evident the damage which can be caused by inflammatory comments but unfortunately I predict further incitement ahead.  A great deal of wrong-doing went on in the Scottish game over a long number of years which subverted our competitions.  This has now been disclosed and disciplinary processes are underway.  It is too late to stop this process, nor should it be stopped.

Those who subverted the game are entitled to a fair hearing but the rest of Scottish football are entitled to demand processes are followed.

Gary Allan is a mere water carrier of the Rangers-group-of-clubs troubles.  The architects are being protected, as best they can be, by their former lieutenants.

It’s been a good week for the broadcast elements of the mainstream media.

    I’m sure Smith & McCoist were sincere in the grief over TB’s death.

     

     

    But think about what that says.

     

     

    We are shocked that they worked closely with someone of a different religion and were sad when he died.

    Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned more in the media?

    KevJungle – Naaahh !! I am fine with reality thanks, however your grasp seems tenuous at best. So tenuous that each word that you somehow manage to construct by the obvious face mashing you are doing on the keyboard, manages to betray your lack of intelligence and deep seated prejudice.

     

     

    As I said, Follow Follow would much better suit your style chum.

    We had the pics of Barry on the CQN Facebook page a few days ago and were asked if we could avoid publishing it in the magazine!

     

     

    Have loaded a new video to the Magazine cover – of the Celtic fans celebrating taking the lead on Tuesday night in Barcelona. It is just over a minute long and will make you jealous! Ecstasy in the Nou Camp. You can now view the CQN videos in full screen, click at bottom corner of video in the magazine graphic at the top of the page.

     

     

    Next issue out next Friday and CQN TV will be on the look out for handsome CQNers outside the ground tomorrow. Did I tell you that Tari, our former star of CQN TV has had her baby a few weeks ago. She’ll be back shortly. Meanwhile Paul has interviewed the new girl and she starts tomorrow! See you at the match!

    It is utterly breathtaking that this club are quoted as furious about SFA withholding 1/2 million whilst at the same time proclaiming that they are debt free.

     

    Their only real claims to being debt free are based on the fact that they have left the tax payers and a whole stream of businesses short of over 100 million!!

     

     

    The word hypocrisy needs redefining to specifically include the Sevconians.

    Ally McCoist and Walter Smith produced, for me, one of the most poignant yet heart-warming stories from that sad day. I will not forget.

    The sevcovians are indeed retreating into anger.. I notice at my work football is not talked about and when I talk happily about the hoops I get the cold shoulder.

     

     

    I m sure many of us are having similar experiences.

     

     

    We should have a poll to hear the new favourite sevcovian sport subject..

    Over the years I never gave a toss about the CIS Cup (unless we were in the Final) as long as the Huns didn’t win it. However this year I would place more emphasis on the mid-week St. Johnstone game then tomorrows SPL game with Killie. I’d favour resting as many of the lads who played the full game in Barca to-morrow, and put out our best side for the mid-week game. Anyone agree.? or am I talking pish.
