Raith call out SFA plans for Appellate Tribunal

1262

You wonder if Ally McCoist rues the day he called for the public outing of members of the SFA Judicial Panel which imposed a player registration ban on his club.  One judge, one journalist and one football club, Raith Rovers, were soon outed.  Crossing the Fifers was a mistake.

Raith Rovers are now pointing out the same facts we have discussed here for months:

“We are also concerned that there has not as yet been an opportunity for clubs to receive legal advice from the SFL and/or debate the potential consequences on the smooth running of our league in the event that the Courts are asked to annull/strike down any of the corporate transactions that have led to the current position of Sevco Scotland Ltd as owners of certain assets of the Rangers oldco.

“Indeed, the position as regards the potential sanctions to be applied by the Scottish FA via its Appellate Tribunal has also still to be bottomed out.”

In short, Sevco’s ownership of Ibrox may be nullified by the courts and the SFA will be forced to subvert judicial oversight if it wants to guarantee Sevco participate in football next season.

While these concerns were only expressed online, the SFA were able to ignore the issue, but with Raith Rovers asking the questions Mr Regan will have to look SFL clubs in the eye and tell them what he’s going to do with Lord Carloway.

Lurgan 53

Dwyer O’Hagan, or Lurgan 53 as he was known here, passed away on Wednesday after an illness stretching back to last year.  Dwyer enjoyed our triumphs and defeats on the blog for many years and will be sadly missed by us all.  Our condolences to his family and friends.

  2. what are those wimbledon commentators like?

     

    andrew castle…aye him world renowned for winning nothing, and john lloyd whose only claim to fame was marrying Chris Evert, knowing him he probably never finished a full set with her either

  3. Very good statement from the Hibs supporters .

     

    We have only won a battle we must unite to win the war. We need to see this through or Scottish football is finished.

     

    One governing body .

     

    A re-organising of the referee system.

     

    And the sacking of Ogilvie , Doncaster , Regan and Longmuir ,

     

    for starters.

     

    Hail Hail

    sorry in the royal box

  7. Burleys wiki page, so it must be true!

     

     

    Burley played for Scotland in the 1998 World Cup in France and scored in the 1–1 draw with Norway in the second match of the tournament.[2] He was then sent off in the final group game against Morocco as Scotland were eliminated.[3]

     

     

    Burley continued to be a significant player under Craig Brown until the end of the unsuccessful 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign,[4] captaining the side in what proved to be his penultimate appearance. After suffering injury problems, Burley won a Scotland recall against Austria in 2003 under new manager Berti Vogts but then announced his international retirement.[4]

     

     

    On 8 July 2012, Burley was awarded the walloper of the decade accolade for his attempt to ingratiate himself with west coast media bosses.In reality all that happened was that he looked like an even bigger tube than everyone north of Grenta already knew he was. Burley was last seen running down the M74 with 250,000 real football fans in hot pursuit.

    Its a bijou wine bar on the Gallowgate,

    Nail on the head statement by Hibs supporters association.

     

    The parties over.

  10. Why is everybody buying into the idea of SevcoScotland(!) actually playing at all? The msm types are just ‘reporting’ all this on a minute to minute basis. There is a very long way to go before this thing called SS (how apt) can actually field an outfit capable of beating the boys down the park,let alone a team in any kind of league.

     

    As of now it’s just turning into a land-grab for the assets that can always be turned into cash at the drop of a hat.

     

    All the chancers involved in SS are personified by Chucky the asset stripper,nasty wee Ally McC. scuttling about with a sullen & sleekit cast of countenance,and Ra Bommur,a menacing alcoholic.

     

    A perfect storm of catastrophic comedy beckons.

     

    HH!

  11. Annan “The same thing happened with Livingston. Rangers are a big institution, but that doesn’t make them a special case.”

     

     

    Brilliant..

    Fud extraordinaire.

    Been away for a few days and just reading about Lurgan 53. May he rest in peace.

    The Annan statement just illustrates why the Hampden Ludge are trying to bypass a vote.

    HH,

  18. I think the dobbers are doomed, nobody’s gonna allow them into any league. The sfa blazers will be the next mob out on their ear.

     

    Huns will have to buy another club to get back in and no matter what they say every opposition support will know they’re really Cowdenbeath,Dunfermline,Kilmarnock take your pick.
