How to intimidate an appeal panel

168

Let us be clear, if you are found to have transgressed an SFA rule and a judicial panel is asked to apportion a punishment, you have absolutely no rights to character assassinate or question the independence of the panel.  Nor in doing so, do you, or the Scottish public (good grief!) have a right to try to ‘out’ the panel.

Ally McCoist prepared for a Rangers TV interview yesterday, not normally an environment subject to the kind of spontaneous and offhand comments you get post-match, decrying the work of the “supposedly independent judicial panel”.

The SFA must take whatever steps necessary to protect those involved in their judicial process and must ensure that any appeal by Rangers is heard on the evidence of the case alone.

Despite much protest, no one has actually claimed Rangers are innocent.  That being the case, the judicial panel must apply appropriate punishment.  The option to revoke Rangers membership of the SFA remains open to the panel – something that would be impossible to avoid if the club were found guilty of subverting over 700 games of football and a decade worth of trophies.

These matters are not going away. Take your medicine.

    Ally has form for this. Remember his comments following Aluko’s ban for diving?

     

     

    “The meeting was chaired by a former referee and I have to say his decision making hasn’t improved any since he stopped refereeing”

     

     

    “It’s staggering, absolutely staggering and to say I’m angry would be a massive understatement

     

     

    “It seems to me that there are rules for some and rules for others”

     

     

    “The other thing I would like to point out is the compliance officer is a thoroughly nice man but he is a lawyer, he comes from a legal background not a football one.”

     

     

    And now we have his demand to expose members of an independent inquiry to the full wrath of those lovely RFC fans, known for their letterbox diplomacy.

     

     

    It’s all Lenny’s fault.

    “McCoist going on about who made up the panel that put the sanctions on Rangers.

     

    Nobody at Ibrox talking to McCoist? (from the DR)”

     

     

    And this has in turn infuriated the SFA who insist the safety and security of their panel members must come first. Also, Hampden top brass believe McCoist should already know exactly who was involved as a Rangers representative was present at Monday’s verdict.

  5. Sitting on the couch with flaming red nostrils…bloodshot eyes…but every time I think of the hun demise…my feet won’t stop dancing…the dug keeps barking it ma fred astair trotters…

  6. Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly on

    Angers will “Lodge” an appeal with the SFA.

     

    Not to be confused with submitting an appeal.

  7. From previous thread:

     

     

    Why is Supper Ally so keen for the members of the SFA’s Judicial Panel to be identified?

     

     

    Is it so Ra Peepul know who to target with letter bombs?

    Yes it is Ernie. Any remotely sounding ‘timmy’ names will be met with surreptitious nods and whispers of ‘thought so’.

  8. Jabba Jabba Jabba you sick psychophant so it madness to hold the club responsible??? Under Murray’s decade long financial mismanagement so how the dignified “club” is innocent, you incoherent rambling kneewalker, it’s clowns like you that should be shouldering part of the blame for what is probably permanent damage done to the national game.

     

     

    Stop the gloating, aye good luck with Jabba, football fans all over Scotland are celebrating the demise of the establishment club wake up and smell last nights goat man….

     

     

    Whimpering wimp of a man..

    Lord William Nimmo Smith is obviously a Fenian B………..!!!!

  10. Rangers sign players on the back of promises to pay other clubs, promises which are never fulfilled (Bartley/Weiss/Jelavic/Wallace). Response from MSPs, radio commentators, the first minister even, “let them do a CVA, pennies in the pound, too big to fail. Rule out liquidation”.

     

     

    Rangers subsequently banned from signing any players for one year as a result of breaching the rules. Response from the same individuals, howls of derision. Okay, if the player registration charge is too harsh, how about giving Wallace back to hearts so as they can either play him or sell him to a club which might, you know, actually pay for him. Do the same with all the points you acquired with jelavic, Weiss, Bartley and anybody else you didn’t pay for/haven’t paid for, and then we’ll talk about letting you sign players again.

     

     

    Also interesting to note JT’s mention of prejudice and self interest framing the SFA’s decisions….hmmmmm, wonder what the reaction would be from MSM if NFL made similar accusations…oh wait.

     

     

    We actually weren’t [paranoid enough. Thoroughly enjoying this, no apology for that.

    No surprise to see that Jabba is as big a lickspittle as ever, but I’m astounded of forehead by that Leckie article.

     

    Maybe the wee man eventually found a soulmate through those online dating sites and he’s not so bitter now? Either that or he’s getting the same kind of knee-tremblers as Gary Neville?!

     

     

    On a separate note, there’s no way the SFA/SPL would allow THEM and the Hibees to drop out of the top flight in the same season. Watch out for the league reconstruction articles starting to appear in the MSM….it was only a matter of time!

  12. if the comments from alistair yesterday had a specific facial expression, it would be the self-same expression as that of walter smith on hearing chicko in that famous interview in the tunnel, in relation to basil bolly, if am no mstaken…

     

     

    …as if to say, do you know who we URR ? we urra peepel !

     

    ye canny tell UZZ whit tae dae !

     

     

    well here’s news for yeez…it’s time tae move on….

     

    openness, transparency and accountability are taking over, and no before time !

    Quite right to focus on this issue:

     

     

    “And Rangers’ fans believe it is vindictive. They could be right and more than a few in high places, who have been whispering in corners of the corridors of power, need to set aside their own prejudices and vested interests.”

     

     

    Traynor’s comments about whispering in corridors of power and the interviewer of Fat Sally talking of getting a sympathetic ear within the SFA in respect of their appeal indicates that the SFA has made this decision without being influenced by the many hun supporters within their membership.

     

     

    This, of course, is a scenario they’ve never had to face before and, when Traynor talks of (the SFA) setting aside their prejudices, what he means is that they need to re-align their prejudices in order to satisfy the needs of Rankers.

     

     

    “These issues are being dealt with but right now the biggest impediments to Rangers’ survival are the SFA and SPL.

     

     

    It is astonishing that at as time when crowds are dwindling and other clubs are in financial peril those responsible for the game’s well-being are falling over themselves to help kill off one of its biggest attractions.

     

     

    If Murray and Miller are scared off because of merciless governing bodies who could yet throw down further sanctions, liquidation will be Rangers’ fate and one of Scotland’s biggest institutions will cease to exist. And after that? Scottish football could also find itself on the road to ruin.”

     

     

    Bad, bad SFA!

     

     

    Do the right thing, withdraw the transfer embargo punishment or be held reponsible for killing Rankers and the rest of scottish football.

     

     

    And to you and the SPL dont try to act independently and fairly again cos big Fat Jabba and the hating orcs are coming after you!

     

     

    Lovely place Scotland! No wonder it rains all the time!

     

     

    Stand tall Mr Regan. No concessions!

     

     

    Then get those fecking referees sacked and thir hun boss Fleming!

    Celtic Rumours….strong interest in Andy Johnson.

     

    First rumour of the new season? I know a club where that won’t be happening :}

     

    Blackburn and Villa asked about Johnson,he’s on 40k a week at Fulham and wants one last big payday,so for that reason ,we are out.HH.

  16. Rangers (or at least D&P) know who were on the panel because they were represented at the hearing over the days it took place.

     

     

    If Sally does not know then he was not told (if he did not ask). Is he just miffed because he is out of the loop? Remember when this admins were first appointed a few/several months ago that he was to be consulted/involved in every step of the process.

     

     

    Does this really just mean that the game is up and he is just irrelevant to the process at this point because L is the only game in town.

     

     

    Anybody got any info on what is happening at the CoS today with D&P vs Ticketus.

     

     

    If it is bad news we will not hear of course. A bit like the case D&P had at the High Court yesterday against CB (for the £25m the Paul Murray would have raised if MBB had not bought out Minty/LBG) being postponed until October.

  17. Sally said something similar about the panel when Aluko was convicted of diving,what punishment did he get for that ………..?

  18. Zooper Duper Sally, the Wunderkinder head baby boy of the Rankers brain trust umbrella organisation of Victimised Huns and their apologists will very soon be tested on the robustness of his recent proclamation: ‘We don’t do Toddling away’ thingy.

     

    Along with his Obersturmfuhrer Mingwall and the corpulent army of hun thugs at

     

    the Debt Dome,the final no surrender bunker mentality will be defiantly exhibited in a mass ‘Waddle Away’ from sundry Creditors to Newco Orc land in the farthest flung divisions of their Third Reich Valhalla.

     

    Stupid Huns.

     

    Odious Odinists.

     

    HH

  19. You know what I found distasteful? Watching Lee Wallace contribute to a win at Tynecastle at the weekend against his old club when his new club haven’t and won’t pay for him.

     

     

    In fact I thought that was criminal.

     

     

    There should be a rule that when you enter admin any player bling still not paid for should be ineligible to be fielded for your club. In fact they should probably be returned to the original club, just like if you had bought a car and didn’t keep your payments up.

  20. South Of Tunis on

    Alistair Murdoch McCoist MBE–

     

     

    Self obsessed , self promoting Manager of a organization which is going down the plug , plays the populist card

     

     

    ” I’m just like you ” —- Vote me ”

     

     

    Just one more example of a Managerial figure at Rangers exploiting the dumb ass bigots who support the Club .

     

     

    Duping hicks has long been the modus operandi of the Hun hierarchy.

  21. Deekbhoy – D&P were granted a motion that forces MIH to hand over all documents between them and Collyer Bristow relating to the sale of Rangers.

     

     

    In unrelated news Shred-It just arrived at Charlotte Square.

  22. Good to see that Davis + Lafferty have now made their last ever appearnces in a Rangers jersey

     

     

    I hear Lafferty was not slow in telling McCoist last week exactly what him and a number of players thought of his ‘management’ skills

     

     

    Let’s just say there were a few sweary words and phrases such as ‘wasting our huge points lead’ thrown at the TV favourite

  23. The mask is slipping. Super Sally, kiddie on Glaswegian, kiddie on comedian, failed Question of Sport captain. The man who led the huns to five failures this season.

     

     

    He’s just another snarling hun, issuing threats when he isn’t allowed to have his way. I hope the SFA hammer him.

     

     

    He brings it all on himself with his behaviour, you know.
