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.

    Nice throw away line missed by MSM by the Ernst and Young guy on Newsnight when asked about the full wages kicking in June as being a problem he agreed ‘because it is unlikely any CVA could be in place in time’

     

     

    With none of the ‘bidders’ wishing to go forward until the sanctions appeal is heard, it makes a CVA well nigh impossible before the players wages revert to full pay

     

     

    They all know we are nearing the end game. They are just looking for someone to pin the blame on hence the mock outrage at the SFA

     

     

    A month at best and it will all be over

  2. You’d think the Duffers could magic up a couple of quid to get MadMoisty a decent haircut. Shocking.

  3. Suggestions as to what Neil whispers to Sally on Sunday –

     

    SO FAR

     

     

    “I’d like to lend you some of our under 17s so that they gain some experience of 1st team football”

     

     

    “If you’d like me to lend you a Satnav for next season, just let me know …”

     

     

    ‘Who put the quid in liquidate?’

     

     

    “Time to walk away…”

     

     

    There’s a cracking wee skoda for sale at £300, are you interested?

     

     

    Got to ghuys

     

    Feel free to add to it

    Having studiously read your post, it is my painful duty to inform you that the market in long-winded contributions that say absolutely nothing has already been captured by a poster in Nevada.

     

    Sorry.
