Can there be any surprise at tonight’s news that police are now investigating alleged harassment of members of the SFA Judicial Panel? On the way home tonight I almost drove off the road when I heard Scotsman journalist, Tom English, on Radio Scotland tell us Rangers knew who sat on the judicial panel a day before Ally McCoist demanded to know who they were on Rangers TV.
Now the SFA inform us the panel members’ identities have been “compromised”. There was no suggestion their identities were hidden until McCoist fanned the flames on Tuesday, these individuals were not subject to a witch hunt or harrassment. The Association added “all three panel members have reported intrusion into their personal and work lives, including abusive and threatening communication.”
In Scotland we now have an Offensive Behaviour and Threatening Communications Act. The Act criminalises “behaviour likely to lead to public disorder which expresses or incites hatred”. We’ll now see how the law works in this country.

McCoist reminds me a bit of Ian Paisly . Preach hatred and incite the lunatic elements then step back wash your hands of the consequences saying he doesnt condone violence.
………………….
Wot I said yesterday. Sticks in my mind about making a speech and referring to a Maltese? RC trading in the Shankil.
Guy gets blown away shortly afterwards and when Paisley was confronted by a journalist he gives it the “I was preaching peace and love in some church is rural Down so how can I be to blame etc etc”

Welcome to our merry band.
Are you a Hun?
Why has Lenny been put forward for manager of the year? Astonishing to hear all the talking heads on Shortbread and Clyde plus a number of papers justify a selection of other managers being their preferred winner.
They should just be honest and say we will give the award to anyone but Neil. Even the treble would not have been enough to get Lenny the award.
What a shower they are so looks like Derek Adams will be given what will, in this case, be a truly tainted award.
Can someone in the media ask MrMcCoist this:
Okay Ally now you know the names what are your thoughts on the people involved and what are you going to do with the information?
How does this information aid and assist you?
Just read Hately’s ‘article’. It reads like he’s gone as criminally insane as his pal MadMoisty.

But isnt Hately just a thick stool-pidgeon for the likes of Jangle Jackson who write their crap in his name. I suppose its name on the column so he gets the flak.
