No one on Celtic Quick News ever doubted Gordon Strachan, did they?
It’s been a long 8 years since that dark week but our former manager demonstrated enormous resilience to win three consecutive league titles and twice qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. He is perfect for the Scotland role, although, to be frank, I didn’t think his squad had last night’s result in them. Well done to all.

vp,
I’m just censoring a familiar
Big mouths rantings
TET
I aint scweeming.
Just read a CF upload on the issue of the 2011 UEFA licence.
The fact the SFA tried to clear what they should say with Rangers is an issue.
Rangers desperation to avoid the suggested responseis another issue. Why if there was nothing to hide?
The proposed SFA response itself raises questions of clarity.
I do not have the rules in front of me (at caravan on coast with poor connection on what has been a beautiful week of weather) but I am not sure being in discussions with equals having reached agreement on.
These points are too big to ignore. This CF document puts the focus back on the SFA to give a crystal clear response to questions raised on Celtic Underground back in Oct 2011 ( if someone could google and post the link).
The issue will not go away and reveal SFA machinations in all their splendour.

SFA Probe Whyte? (celticunderground)
Post image for SFA Probe Whyte? (celticunderground)
So the Scottish meedja have eventually decided to ask the question asked by the keyboard nutters on the timtinernet eight months ago. Is Craig Whyte a fit and proper person? No doubt Stewart Regan has much on his hands however when one of two clubs which are bigger than the SFA itself appoints a new director there are certain criteria to be followed.
article credits: Neil McCallum (the Celtic Underground)
The SFA yesterday at last made a statement;
Statement on Rangers FC. Thursday, 01 December 2011. Scottish FA Chief Executive Stewart Regan:
“The Scottish FA has noted the Rangers FC statement to the stock exchange regarding the club’s owner Craig Whyte.
“We have been in dialogue with the club on this matter and in light of today’s developments have requested clarification by return. We await disclosure of key information before we can make any further comment.”
Obviously they have been too busy with the vast volume of directors coming and going to get around to Mr Whyte. Fair-dos it may be alphabetical and both Rangers and Whyte come pretty far down the alphabet.
I’ll save them the time. I have checked with Companies House with regard to all clubs and all appointments of directors notified this calendar year (Form AP01).
◾Aberdeen appointed Ian Jack and Colin Ian Welsh on 19 October 2011.
◾Celtic appointed Ian Patrick Bankier on 6 June 2011.
◾Dundee United appointed James Michael Martin on 6 October 2011.
◾Dunfermline appointed Dr Keith Douglas Love on 1 April 2011.
◾Hearts have had no appointments.
◾Hibernian has had no appointments.
◾Inverness Caledonian Thistle has had no appointments.
◾Kilmarnock has had no appointments.
◾Motherwell has had no appointments.
◾Rangers appointed a certain Craig Thomas Whyte on 24 May 2011 and Philip John Betts the following day.
◾St Mirren have had no appointments.
◾St Johnstone have had no appointments.
So Companies House have been advised of seven appointments this year.
Wouldn’t be too much to check you would think. Lack of resources surely? Check the SFA handbook. There are five pages of staff:
http://www.scottishfa.net/resources/documents/SFAPublications/SFAHandbook/04%20StaffStructure.pdf
Looking at the staff just how pushed are the following
FOOTBALL ADMINISTRATION
David Findlay, Head of Football Administration
Club Licensing
D H, National Club Licensing Manager
M R, Club Licensing Officer
HUMAN RESOURCES
Viv Coady, Head of Human Resources
J S, HR Admin. Assist.
LEGAL
Heather-Anne Barton, Head of Department
M M, Personal Assistant
Although not involved I have always wondered other than sharpening their pencil in anticipation of the transfer window opening on 1 January just what do a registrations department of four do from 1 September to 31 December?
To recap the SFA Articles of Association state the following:
(http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/SFAPublications/SFAHandbook/09Articles.pdf)

With respect, they are still breaking all the rules.
The MSM are ignoring it.
We can scweem all we want.
Unless a club, or the MSM say anything, it will be same old.
The only reason they are where they are is cos the MSM ran with the story.
They are ignoring Charlotte, maybes she will give them something that they can’t ignore, maybes not.
If I were a shareholder, I wouldn’t be content with bleating on a blog.
They are stealing from us, as a club, and as shareholders, of which I am not on sadly.
It’s corporate fraud of the highest level, and it’s just being like someone has robbed an apple from the farmers tree.
Hundreds of millions we are talking about, if you include the money that was gotten from the BoS, the unpaid taxes.
Not to mention the potential money our club could have earned from the CL money which was rightly ours, and we are supposed to see how it pans out.
Soreeee, I don’t buy it.

Hate the Eagles…!
My sentiments exactly
Tiny Tim et al,
I’ve posted this before, there’s a war going on and the Huns are fighting tooth and nail for survival ( the original clubs is deid), the sfa can’t afford to fail in this fight for newco survival because they are implicitly involved in the fraud.
Celtic football club plc/ boardroom bhoys do not have the appetite for this, perhaps they watched what happened to NFL and want to distance themselves from it.
The only way we can get some justice from the corruption that has happened at the sfa, is for Scottish football supporters to take legal action.
It’s a war and CFC ain’t fighting, personally speaking if a body of supporters decided to get together and fight to pursue the guilty, then I’m 100% part of it.
Stand tall and fight the corruption CSC

They were the most talented mate, I said they were the winners weeks ago.
Personally couldn’t give a damn if they’re British or not, and I think probably someone like Simon Cowell coached them to do the final visuals, it was talented was it not?
Anyway my erm chair amigo, the best talent to come out of Hungary was Puskas…… Vmhan fact.
