Irony behind robust SFA rules

1103

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.

You don’t need to look too hard for the irony.

    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?

     

    ==============================================

     

    Like the psychological damage done to spoiled children when mummy and daddy cast them in to the real world at adulthood?

     

     

    There is a world of material on this kind of stuff. Sociopaths seem to be a product of such environments.

     

     

    Rangers are just one big spoiled community of The Peepul.

     

     

    Tough Love is the only cure.

    Good God almighty!

     

     

    Just got off a plane to the news. Astounded of forehead – I was sure a sly little deal would have been struck. This is the day everything changes, imo.

     

     

    P67’s article spot on. The sooner the poison is removed from the body poltic of Scotland the sooner we can shake off the toxic fallout of their presence.

     

     

    This is a day I never thought I would live to see. The rumblings and tremors and warning signs have all been dismissed by them and their apologists, in their smug arrogance.

     

     

    But Vesuvius has erupted and, for Hubris 1879, this is their Pompeii. Bye bye.

     

     

    In other news my 6 year old daughter has come home with nits. A small price in terms of Karma.

    Horror indeed! Speaking of which I noticed ‘The Scream’, (or one version of it anyway) raised $75 million in a New York auction last week. I wonder how much a picture of Sandy (hawd me back) Jardin would raise for the cause. Could maybe give Munch’s work a run for its monet.

    The Fat man poured himself another drink although he knew that the clear liquid no longer killed his pain, he sighed like a bouncy castle and remembered his mother’s word ” James don’t lie because all your lies will come back to haunt you”

     

    His vodka sweat stung his eyes as he thought it’s over now, over…

    I told her if her mum hadn’t come home with a nit 7 years ago she wouldn’t even be here.

    Guidi now talking nonsense about wanting a government enquiry … but only into the takeover. I agree on the government enquiry, but it’s remit really does need to cover how Rangers has been run like a crime family for the past 20 years.

     

     

    These people are unreal.

  11. Country is going to the dogs

     

    Two nights this week BBC Scotland News has featured Kafflick Schools.

  12. Now the hacks are starting to get it.

     

    The meal tickets are goin to be rationed and the good ones will get survive and the crap – Mr McInnes, boy McInnes, bunged up man, all the DR hacks, all SM hacks, Chico, Billy Lecky and another hunner of them.

     

    Good riddance

    Today is a special day for Norwegians the world over. May 17th is Independence Day, celebrating Norway’s Constitution, which was adopted on this date exactly 198 years ago, in 1814. The whole country celebrates with parades, ice cream and general merriment–so feel free to join in.

  14. Auld Neil Lennon heid on

    Guadi is irrational on the argument re stripping titles.

     

    He is pandering to his readeship and that is ok, but the rational case for removing titles is stronger than Desperate Dan

    One poster pointing out that it could discourage Green from completing the club purchase… Got shot down. They are spoiling for a fight.

    Always the same.

     

     

    Remember when I was a wee bhoy (late 60s/early70s) the Sunday Post did a fair play league.

     

     

    Noticed it for the first time and said to my Dad look Celtic are top, and he (An Albion Rovers Fan) said always are and R@ngers will be bottom.

     

     

    Had another look – second from bottom.
