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.

    My honest opinion they will go down, but if any organisation decided to submit 50,000 applications to march tomorrow their is very little any council can do about it unfortunately

     

    Organised marches are decreasing from Trade Unions, students and the OO it is a move with the times.

     

    The Police want nothing to do with opposing the OO they want to hide behind the council when we have no powers

  4. Came home to find our two season book renewal forms, good to see they were automatic renewals, they never game me a choice!

     

    Any Celt live around the Carrbridge area? What was the score with the snow this morning?

     

     

    No To Newclub

    As a taxpaying, Celtic supporter I currently have a bigger stake in ranjurz(ia) than Charles Green, he’s still preferred bidder, remember Bill Miller claiming meetings with SFA/SPL that nobody else knew about? Ally claimed to be in daily contact, mind you he gave a lift to King, Kennedy and Whyte.

     

     

    Charles Green will take one look at the ranjurz jotter and he’ll crap a pineapple.

    Last year the OO advised their members to vote against Labour and vote for the SNP they made this decision public weeks before the election last May.

     

     

    A.S. has given the OO assurances that he will keep the Queen in the free Scotland. Rumor has it that he sent a message to the OO about Catholic schools that he could only deal with in an independent Scotland, starting with no new Catholic schools only joint campuses that cheered up the OO

    Bobby’s performance that day is one of my all time favourites along with annoni man marking laudrup in his first Derby match

    Green nor his consortium are preferred bidders… por cierto…

    I thought SNP wanted independence not devolution?

    You would be surprised with the amount of senior SNP members who are quite happy with the status quo with some more fiscal powers

     

    They like someone to blame and many are realistic enough to know they will never win the referendum tht is why they are the only Party trying to put back the date for the vote

    Thought this quote was a total belter…

     

     

    “If 50 of us could get tickets for the game , at diffrent entrances , we could handcuff ourselves to the turnstiles in a silent protest.

     

    Like the suffragettes did trying to get votes for women”
