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.

Is that wee Oscars aunties or his BURDS in the picture? lol
Night U ALL YNWA
knoxy2000:
Hey mate. Can you do me a favour, and drop me a mail at jfknut1@yahoo.co.uk when you get the chance?
Thank you fella. Love & Respect to you and yours.
James F
Don’t be offended but I sometimes find your posts a tad self indulgent.
Tonight’s offering is, in my humble opinion, a belter mate.
Well done, it’s informative but balanced and just happens to be very close to my own line of thought.
James F – not so sure about the “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” bit.
However, when I saw my bhoy having to swear his allegiance to the Queen at the Cub Scouts I thought “what the beejezus has the maj got to do with camping at Auchengillan, cool badges and penknives?”
This situation is now being addressed by Bear (unfortunate name) Grhylls who is head of the Scout movement. It appears that there is not enough minorities in the Scouts and to help balance this they will remove the oath to the Pearly!

As a nine year old I was asked to leave the cubs for refusing to say my ‘pledge’.
Art of War:
A small victory mate, but one which matters in its own way. It’s stuff like this that rolls back the tide inch by inch. Their entire ethos is backward, and as narrow as the tube of a straw. They can have their own little small victories, like getting the Thai Tims out of the schools, but small victories is all they are, and for every freedom they try to take away from us, they lose one of their own. They are too stupid to realise it right now, but it’s dawning on some of them, and the rest can’t avoid it.
hamiltontim:
Thanks for that mate, and your criticism isn’t invalid. I do come on here to vent sometimes … hopefully not so much in the future. Things in my life are going pretty darn well at the present time, so my darker moments are fewer and further between than at any time I can remember.

That’s a shame but it didn’t stop you from becoming a polished poster! ;-)
Jude, they are both his aunties AND his burds!!! Has them all wrapped round his little finger!
JF, you’ve got mail.
Just listened to Lenny’s interview on SSB. Thought he spoke very well, unlike the first caller to the show. Horrible woman.
Knoxy
James F – the Thai Tims thing really did my head in as did the story of that bampot in Tyrone who complained about a tricolor at a primary school that was in fact the Italian flag.
How did you explain to a bunch of wonderful kids that they couldn’t perform to other kids of their age because of what they represent offends others? Define offend ya bams! Aaaaaaargghhhh!
The fight isn’t over.

I still can’t get my head around why anyone would want to buy them with the BigTaxCase (BTC) verdict still unknown. Anyone know why the present Green Consortium appears willing to go ahead? Surely everything gets blown out the water if the finding goes against the club? And all the media, Radio and TV seem to be disregarding the BTC when they speak about plans for next season, etc. Surely if the BTC finds against the club then there is no ‘next season’? It appears all very much business as usual as far as the media are concerned
Goodnight all.
Bed is calling!!!
thehuddlehound –
Mr. Praline : ‘Ello. I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner has his back to the register and does not respond.)
Mr. Praline : ‘Ello, Miss?
Owner : (turning around, very angry) What do you mean, “miss”?
Mr. Praline : I’m sorry, I have a cold.
(The owner nods, understanding.)
Mr. Praline : I wish to make a complaint!
Owner : (hurriedly) Sorry, we’re closin’ for lunch…!
Mr. Praline : Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot, what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner : Oh yes, the, ah, the Norwegian Blue… What’s, ah… W-what’s wrong with it?
Mr. Praline : I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, my lad. It’s dead, that’s what’s wrong with it.
Owner : No, no, ‘e’s ah… he’s resting.
Mr. Praline : Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now.
Owner : No no, h-he’s not dead, he’s, he’s restin’!
Mr. Praline : Restin’?
Owner : Y-yeah, restin.’ Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn’t it, eh? Beautiful plumage!
Mr. Praline : The plumage don’t enter into it. It’s stone dead!
Owner : Nononono, no, no! ‘E’s resting!
Mr. Praline : All right then, if he’s resting, I’ll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
‘Ello, Polly! Mister Polly Parrot! I’ve got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you wake up, Mr. Polly Parrot…
(owner hits the cage)
Owner : There, he moved!
Mr. Praline : No, he didn’t, that was you pushing the cage!
Owner : I never!!
Mr. Praline : Yes, you did!
Owner : I never, never….
(He pulls the parrot out of the cage and screams into its ear.)
Mr. Praline : ‘ELLO POLLAAAAAAAY! POLL-EE! POLLY PARROT! WAKE UP!
(He bangs its head against the store counter, horribly hard.)
TESTIIIING! TESTIIIING! THIS IS YOUR NINE-O’ CLOCK ALARM CALL!
(He does it again, harder.)
POLL-EEEEEEE!
(He tosses it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor. Longish pause.)
Now that’s what I call a dead parrot.
Owner : No, no…. No, he’s stunned.
Mr. Praline : STUNNED?
Owner : Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin’ up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Praline : Look my lad, I’ve had just about enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I bought it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long squawk.
Owner : Well, he’s… he’s, ah… probably pining for the fjords.
(Praline looks angrily back and forth, stuttering.)
Mr. Praline : PININ’ for the FJORDS? What kind of talk is that? Look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got ‘im home?
Owner : The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin’ on its back! Remarkable bird, isn’t it, guv, eh? Lovely plumage!
Mr. Praline : (coldly) Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Owner : Well, of course it was nailed there! If I hadn’t nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent ’em apart with its little pecker, and VOOM!
Mr. Praline : “VOOM?”
(Praline puts the cage down and take the parrot into his hands.)
Mr. Praline : Look matey, this parrot wouldn’t “voom” if you put four thousand volts through it! It’s bleedin’ demised!
Owner : It’s not! I-It’s pining!
Mr. Praline : It’s not pinin,’ it’s passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch he would be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolical processes are of interest only to historians! It’s hopped the twig! It’s shuffled off this mortal coil! It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This…. is an EX-PARROT!
(pause)
Owner : Well, I’d better replace it, then.
(He disappears behind the counter.)
Mr. Praline : (turning to camera) If you want to get anything done in this country you’ve got to complain ’til you’re blue in the mouth.
(The owner returns.)
Owner : Sorry guv, we’re fresh out of parrots.
Mr. Praline : I see. I see, I get the picture.
Owner : (quietly) I-I’ve got a slug.
(pause)
Mr. Praline : (sweet as sugar) Does it talk?
Owner : Not really, no.
Mr. Praline : Well, it’s SCARCELY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT then, IS IT?
Owner : Listen, I’ll tell you what, tell you what, if you go to my brother’s pet shop in Bolton, he’ll replace your parrot for you.
Mr. Praline : Bolton, eh?
Owner : Yeah.
Mr. Praline : All right.

Thanks, Art of War. Pretty much thought as much. So, do you have ANY cheese at all in you shop? :)
I joined the boy scouts in order to steal weaponry.
I left when I had acquired enough bows and arrows to arm a tribe of my own.

Just a thought.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran
Perhaps Mr Salmond & Mr Cameron should be focussing their efforts on ensuring public order is maintained rather than making excuses for RFCia supporters going on the rampage.
Just because public disorder is likely to ensue as a result of the fair and just application of the laws of the land should not mean you back down from applying due punishment for offenders.
Whilst we expect the laws of the game to be applied to all without fear or favour, so too do we expect the laws of the land to be applied to all, without fear or favour.
All those people threatening public disorder as a result of due punishment being applied to RFCia should be roundly condemned in Parliament (both Scottish and UK houses). Those who incite public disorder should be charged and brought before the courts.
I don’t usually join the night shift but can’t sleep tonight.

Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.
So its true after all. The huns were atheists. A non prophet organization.
I can’t sleep most nights. It must be all schadenfreude. And so I think :
We percieve time in a linear way. Time itself is not like that…it is a dimension. Events in time send out ripples. The bigger the event,the bigger the ripples;and that is why some people believe they have precognition. But it is why we all feel profoundly the effect of big events,even if far removed from our daily lives.
So…the anticipation we Tims are feeling quite strongly is the imploding disintegration of RFCia and massed orcs howling at the void.
Others less interested in the vagaries of football and the malign influence of the O.O. are still aware,however vaguely,of an imminent cataclysm. The end of the ‘establishment’ club,its arrogant sense of entitlement and its vile effect on Scottish society,not to mention their trashing of towns and cities,near and far.
A big event indeed,and long overdue.

Time is a dimension where information ripples are transmitted at the speed of light. This is to be contrasted by RFCia and massed orcs howling at the void at the speed of dark. I wouldnt worry about huns trashing Scottish cities, however, I do think that Reid the heid whose company is responsible for security at Ibrox should be hired by Peter and co to protect Celtic Park which will be target number one for the ragers.
Today I dialed the huns … some hun said, “Hello?” and I said,
“Hello, could I speak to the new manager of RANGERS FC ACQUISITIONS LTD.?”… They said, “Uh… I don’t think so… wont be ready for 3 months.”
I said, “Sokay I’ll wait.”
Irony is just honesty with the volume cranked up…..

When are the RFCia ‘faithful’ going to open their eyes. The directors (plural) of RFCia and all affiliated organisations have been abusing your blind ‘faith’ for years. They are continuing to do so by maintaining unsupportable arguments that the club is being victimised. You can add to that the Scottish media who have almost to a man continued to feed the victim mentality held by RFCia.
Open your eyes, the people at fault here are not the SFA, HMRC, Celtic FC or any other body (exluding MSM). The only people to blame here are those people in whom you have placed your trust. They are the ones who have not only let you down but have let down the whole of Scottish football.
Just take off your blinkers for a few minutes and read the judgements from the tribunals. Read the writings of Alex Thomson who as far as I can see is the only journalist presenting an objective view.
Your anger at the perilous position your club is now in is due to the dereliction of duty, motivated by unrestrained greed for success, by the directors of your club.
Your club. No-one else.
It is this same group of people who are motivating you to continue on this campaign against the SFA and other groups. They are continuing to abuse your (misplaced) loyalty in deflecting blame from where it truly lies. With them!

We know that. You know that. They know that. They don’t care what people like you and me think or say or do. We know they are going to be liquidated and shamed and disgraced but they don’t care they want their entitlements. The question is still about Newco. In what form and to what degree will integrity be secondary and this embarrassment and constant disgrace re-emerge? To be or not to be that is the question.
I went to my favourite French restuarant yesterday. I was totally smashed.
As I entered I waved and shouted “Aujourd hui”….”Awe Naw not today” they all replied.
So in a Disney outlet store in Florida and there they are winking at me and calling me over, the home and green and grey away top, just hanging out, in a Disney store.
Made me feel magic!
