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.

‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’
Green nor his consortium are preferred bidders… por cierto…
————————–
If that’s the case, why the access to players at the St Johnstone game; why the repeated assertion in the MSM that they have purchased CW’s shareholding; why did he have an input into the appeal?
I don’t get it…Bill Murray dropped this shower as soon as he saw the books, either Green and his ‘medical money’ from Dubai etc haven’t seen the books, or they’ve seen the books and thought: Kerching!
My guess? the interest gives them access to assets like Davis, McGregor, Naismith.
Incidentally, I heard on SNYDE that Fraser Wishart had recommended DEFERRED pay rather than the ‘discounted’ option that the players have agreed with D&P, this option (deferred) would have been better for the club not the players! I might be wrong, I thought the players’ rep was supposed to argue the best option for the players!
Sweatin like kirk broadhoof who has just heard Aiden might be comin back!!
‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’
Perception my friend.
I also does not have the shares yet either, “Oor Craigy” will sell him the shares on completion of a CVA. Met the players through an invite from the administrators probably. Alas who knows the full reasons for everything that is happening.
His consortium has a period of exclusivity to do a deal.
He will only get the shares on completion of a CVA. por cierto…
Can we have a “the game is over……..” thread instead of the sweaty wan? :-))))
I’ll start it ( if yir interested)
THE GAME IS OVER…. THE ADMINISTRATORS HAVE WON!
C’ mon, you know the theme
POM
Sweatin like Ned Beatty on an adventure holiday.
I’m sure defered wages were wanted by players and duffus & duffus refused
seem to remember this was a real issue when the wage eogotiations took place….. negotiations with administartors….. still can’t get my head around that

If wages are deferred they are simply building up debt during the period of administration which would be to the detriment of existing creditors. That would expose the Administrators to personal liability for the debt incurred. Obviously the Administrators wouldn’t allow that.
If the Administrators know that liquidation is inevitable they know that players will be able to leave for nothing anyway, so agreeing to reduce transfer fees is a no cost option.
God bless wee Oscar, and his mammy and daddy.
Some excellent discussions on here tonight, much more like the blog I came to know and love these past few years.
The political debate has been especially brilliant. In particular, great contributions from my good friend St John Doyle. He and I will probably disagree on my fundamental belief over independence, but I will certainly vote yes.
I have read, with great interest, his belief that Salmond would place our education system under threat if he had the ability to do so. In a sense I believe it, but a number of other things would need to change first.
What Ra Peepil sometimes forget, what some on the left often overlook, what others willfully ignore, is that for all the claims that Catholic education is divisive and breeds intolerance, for all the nonsense frequently talked on the subject, for all the inane commentary from supposedly intelligent people, we do actually live in a religious state. This is not the secular United States, with strict separation of church and state; this is a country who’s primary institutions and sovereign rulers are Christian, Church of England Protestants.
The argument which defeats their reasoning every single time is this; you put away your gun, and I’ll put away mine. You say religion should not be taught in state schools. Well, when the state itself cuts its ties with religion then you can come back at me and hit me with what you’ve got. The country itself has systemic prohibitions on people from outside the Protestant faith rising to a number of senior political and diplomatic posts (the Chancellor of the Exchequer included; the office of Prime Minister is a fairly modern creation – it was the Chancellor who was once the Queen’s highest ranking official, and the office still requires an oath of allegiance to the Crown and the Church), and so to claim the state should have no responsibility for teaching religion is, frankly, a nonsense.
The truth is, I don’t care whether Salmond has made that promise or not, because neither he nor the people who wish to do it will ever be in a position which affords the opportunity to make good on it. I am convinced that, 100% certain, and I’ll tell you why I believe it, for what it’s worth.
I see our community as stronger than it’s ever been, more self aware than it has ever been and more united than it has ever been. We are more organised, more attuned to what’s going on. We are less trusting of the media and the lies they tell. We are cynical, hard analysts, and some of us are hungry for the levers of power. I do not believe that is a negative trait.
I look at the backward, inbuilt biases of our enemies. I look at people who are insular, bigoted and ignorant, and these people do not represent a serious threat with their 17th Century philosophy and irrelevant hate. I believe we are more than match for them, and when the time comes I do not believe an independent Scotland will be created in their image … but in ours.
We are smarter, by far. We are better organised, by far. We have a more forward thinking outlook, by far, and it does not matter whether we are represented on the left or the right, or if its the centerists amongst us who carry the torch; it is our very breadth and depth of views and outlooks, and ideals, which makes us almost certain to dominate the New Scotland.
The New Scotland will not be Protestant any more than it will be Catholic. Its leaders will not be the racists and the bigots, and these people will not have to be pandered to. They will be allowed to have their rallies and marches, their protests and their defiance, because that’s how it works in a democracy, but they will not have power or influence, or the ability to steer the direction we go in.
I know what some will say; that Protestant majority rule in Scotland is a disaster for many of the things we hold dear, but it’s purely and simply a nonsense to think that majority translates into political power. I have seen it happen time and time again in politics; the majority does not always get to rule. And not everyone of that faith is a backward, anti-Catholic bigot, as well we all know. The number who would seek to use independence to unleash their crusade against the Catholic faith are too small in number, and disorgranised, to even concern ourselves with. Whilst they wage their war, the rest of us will be busy mapping out the future, and the future will have a peculiarly green tint.
In Holyrood, people will still battle each other across the chamber, debating the finer points of fishing quotas and rises in the minimum wage. But on a Saturday and Sunday, you’ll find the party leaders all sitting side by side, cheering on the Hoops. Friends, I do not doubt it and never have.
A great evil is about to removed from this land. And when it goes some of the things which sustain it, and which it in turn sustains, will be weaker for its passing. And it’s then that our great moment will arrive.
The future is bright. The future IS green & white.
Night all…
