Gruesome elements attached to the game

285

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.

    Didn’t think you’d be to cut up about my snip about the Scissors Sisters, too busy watching yourself in the wardrobe mirror playing your ole Fender Rickenbacker Bass borrowed from Wishbone Ash.

    petec – philvisreturns, what about the incredible The Rangers attendances?

    Utter garbage is on view. What is going on in their ridiculous minds.

     

     

    If there is going to be a show, the Glasgow Celtic will be there and watch the attendances rise and rise. I said to BSR that when we get the team right the crowds will flock to this fantastic centre of football.

    I`m not sure about the League cup game being more important but I would like to see Celtic winning both matches.

     

    I do know that the smaller crowd will be on Tuesday. My ticket for the game is for the lower tier rather than my usual seat in the Jock Stein upper.

  7. ..First off – Alasdair MacLean. Apologies, could’ve swore it was you that I thought was in N.Italy. Must’ve been a premature senior moment on my part.

     

     

    Tunis. Rugby – THAT’s why the name Rovigo rang a bell. Will give you an update once I get there.

     

     

    Anyway, a slow(ish) day here so thought some of you maybe interested in this….

     

     

    With only 594 days to go to the next World Cup, the Brasilian press publish a monthly evaluation of how they think the likely candidates for the Brasil squad are fairing (they’ve been doing this for the last 15 months).

    Indeed Paul67 each sordid tale that emerges reminds me of a Dan Brown fiction !

  9. Corkcelt,

     

     

    I think the cup game is slightly more important in the fact that a loss tomorrow doesn’t mean the league is over.

     

     

    But a loss on Tuesday means the our involvement in the LC is over and with it our chances of the treble.

     

     

    As Ian says, I want to win both.

  10. I’d keep changes to a minimum tomorrow. Keep the back 4 the same as Tuesday, Kayal in for Brown, Forrest for Samaras and I’d given Mulgrew a rest and bring back Commons.

     

     

    Forster

     

    Lustig Ambrose Wilson Izzaguirre

     

    Kayal Wanyama Ledley

     

    Forrest Hooper Commons

     

     

    Subs Zaluska Matthews Mulgrew Miku Watt Rogne Twardzik

  11. My point re Cup Game is that its almost a foregone conclusion that we will win the SPL but as we know from last year anything can happen in a one off Cup game. Naturally I want Celtic to win every game but if it came to a choice re the 2 games this week my preference would be to beat St. Johnstone.

    See her in her ‘alter back

  13. Have to say I hope the currants get pumped out of the cup and that we do not have to play them. Do not wish to play them again, ever.
