The statement released by Duff and Phelps last night revealed the substance to the lobbying that had taken place since the original punishment handed out by the SFA judicial panel:
“The decision by the appellate tribunal to uphold the sanction, namely the suspension of registration of players for one year, is not competent in the view of the club and its legal advisers.
“Such a sanction was not available to the tribunal”.
The suspension of player registrations was not one of the suggested punishments on the menu for the judicial panel but the rules allowed them to vary from guidance and choose whatever punishment they believed appropriate.
The appeal correctly found that the judicial panel were not were not subject to an exhaustive list of possible punishments. Duff and Phelps main hope was that the SFA rules were unclear and poorly constructed, as they were before an overhaul last year.

Yip, watched it last night… Though it was quite good. No bad/no great… regarding the Wire… Don’t know if you’ve ever seen them, but there are 2 preceding series both set in Baltimore (same as The Wire) called ‘The Corner’ and ‘Homicide ; Life On The Streets.’ Both have links with writers and some characters, to The Wire. Well worth watching as well if ye can get a hold of them….
Silly cow on SSB,,,,probably never been to Ibrox in her life but allowed to have a go at our manager!!!
What a cess pit of a country we live in !!!
Hail hail
When did Marie become Mharie…..even denying her own name. Stupid Hun

share on F’book or Twitter
I doubt she has a man, that much frustration doesn’t come from bigotry alone.
Neil R, great post.
One of the very few things I will miss about the huns is watching them getting soundly thrashed in European matches. The Unirea game at Ibrox was tremendous entertainment.
Doh…forgot she is a hun
Manchester United’s cash reserves have
been halved in three months, the cost of
exiting Europe early, wage increases and
Old Trafford’s redevelopment.
Quarterly accounts show they dropped from
$80 million at the end of 2011 to $41 million
by March 31. The figure had stood at $238
million at the end of 2010.
United was deposed as Premier League
champion by Manchester City on Sunday and
eliminated from the lucrative Champions
League at the group stage.
But United remains English soccer’s biggest
moneymaker, with commercial revenue
rising 15 percent to $43.4 million year-on-
year. Wages rose 9 percent year-on-year to
$178 million.
Debt dropped to $673.8 million.

Mhari on SSB.
The calls they love to get !!!
ciharot
aye maybe she has ran out of batteries
archdeaconsbench:
Can get a hold of just about anything most of the time- will keep my eye open.
Will try again with the Rum Diary.
You watched Bored to Death?
Mark Guidi also doesn’t get it.
Dawell really is a Scroat, you should have thought about that before you cheated your arses off!!
So Guidi hoped they’d win their appeal.
Integrity? Not from Guidi.
Yet another hurter on SSB, yes Jamie it is a joke of a decision … U should have been thrown out the league ya cheat !!
Why is its not good for our game if we are winning the league, don’t remember that being stated during the nineties. Hurting fools who can’t see (or won’t see) that if u cheat u MUST be punished !
Rubbish rubbish rubbish Clyde.
They want Rangers to be ‘punished’ but they want the punishments to be meaningless. Buffoons.
Guidi also said they should not have titles taken away…..
Moron on SSB!!!!!!
naw, Gordon Dalziel !!
YOU’ve got to see the whole picture !!
let cheats get away with it and its a
disaster for all !
wonkyradar, no seen that… Just in the process of ‘acquiring’ it. Cheers. Will give it a go in the next day or 2…

In regards to Stewart Regan and the ironical concurrence of new rules…
Has he duped himself? But, before you answer that – Is duped the right word?
Me personally? Yes, duped is the right word.
So then, if he has then indeed duped himself, who then will pay the fisherman?
Is fisherman the right word? No, fisherman’s not the right word.
What sanctions are available to Mr Regan to sanction himself – can he reduce his bonus?
Also, can you find out if there is anything in writing that details D&P’s apparently one sided remit, whilst in place to ‘adminstrate’ with a view to serving creditors?
I find their recent tubthumping beyond belief. Are they now the Rangers board?

Liked the way Lenny talked of the “shambles” and “disgrace” at ibrox but less happy with his “no show without Punch” comment if they were not to be in the league.
Not quite in line with the “we don’t need them” mantra from PL.
=================================
Neil Lennon, like all other top flight managers at big clubs, has a press advisor. I don’t know who his is but I know a guy who knows the guy who worked for Martin O’Neill. They give them some kind of clue as to what they should and shouldn’t be saying in public and indeed be seen doing as well.
I suspect Neil’s man will be telling him to say nice stuff about rangers (or at least be as nice as he can) right now. I expect the club are giving neil the same advice. Any negative soundbite from Neil on them right now is going to be treated like some sort of Nuclear Attack on a cute bunny rabbit farm by our Neilly and would be totally counter productive.
I bet that in private he is loving the pain that the club of choice of his tormentors is enduring. But it would be mental to indicate it at the present time.
When they do get what’s coming, and they will, the most I would advise him to say is ‘rules are rules, if you break them you reap the consequences. It’s disappointing that I lost out on two more league medals as a player, two as a coach and one as manager because the rules were broken and I hope now the record will be set straight. I look forward to new challenges emerging from clubs like Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and Dundee United in the absence of Rangers and of course the challenges of Champions League football. Hail Hail.’
I should go in to the PR business. It’s so easy…………..
BFDJ is exactly the same on Real Radio. Of course they should be punished, but not that much. Also, it will be the club that decides whether they are in the SPL or the SFL. Eh, no BFDJ, it will be the SPL board that will decide that. Or maybe they’re the same thing ;-)
Sooper snore bored
I would never dream of listening to an MSM phone in forum, and if I did it certainly wouldn’t be Radio Snyde.
I do know that they are admitting to a 15% drop in listenership, which they are trying to recover through toadying to the ‘Save Gers’ campaign.
IMO Neil should say “no comment” re any questions on the huns.Speaks volumes.
These clowns have been repeating the same hunguff for months, they don’t get it cos they don’t want to get it and if they did get it they wouldn’t have a show..
Meanwhile in a darkened room somewhere in the city, a corpulent sweating man sits in the light of his computer screen, he gazes at his pork link fingers and mumbles almost incoherently ” The Horror, The Horror”…
Huns second again.

I only listened to SSB tonight because of Mr Lennon, I can not believe what Ive heard from Guidi and 2 of their callers, Mhairi (he is disgusting) and stuttering stanley (we should boycott, we have been dealt with unfairly) OMG I am gonna be a good digital radio doon in about 5 mins if I dont swith off, Im away to listen to some dolphin music and get my dinner, god bless you all.
Do any of the posters on this forum fully appreciate the difficulties of adapting to a world in which you do not automatically get your own way?
Regarding Guidi et al not getting it.
They do get it.
They just want to be able to drink and eat and socialise in their city after work without the fear of rabid rangers fanatics attacking them on sight, sending them bombs to their houses and issuing death threats.
That and they still have the hangover from overindulgence in succulent lamb and fine wine.
And while I’m at it, let them bleat about Rangers not being stripped of their titles. They commented loud enough that there shouldn’t be a transfer embargo as well. But there was. The days of them being able to influence decision making at Hampden are on the way out, they might even be well and truly over.
What I would like to see is a more open press. A press that admits its preference for teams and admits that its writing and public proclamations are based on that. (That’s a good old Marxist Historians idea – you can’t separate your writing from your belief, you cannot be totally dispassionate, so be honest about what point of view you write from and don’t try and kid yourself or others on – there is no such thing as neutral). In a word – honesty.

Is that because he has just spotted a picture of a pretty semi-naked female?
