Rangers on SFA warpath since Fit and Proper enquiry

1203

Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, appears intent on testing the SFA following his outburst yesterday.  According to McCoist the Association “effectively called” Sone Aluko “a cheat and a liar”.  Chairmen of the disciplinary tribunal, former referee Jim McCluskey, had his judgement called into question by McCoist, who said, “The meeting was chaired by a former referee and I have to say his decision making hasn’t improved any since he stopped refereeing.”

This is a new tone from the Rangers manager, who never spoke in these terms about the SFA before they decided to investigate Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s suitability as a fit and proper person to be involved in the game.  Despite yesterday’s punishment, Rangers remain Scotland’s most influential club by the length of the Queen’s highway.  Sabre rattling from Ibrox cannot be dismissed by the Association, who, I am led to believe, will find their investigation into Whyte thwarted.

McCoist escaped SFA punishment for his inflammatory comments to Neil Lennon at Celtic Park in March. It remains to be seen if this new outburst establishes a new method of inappropriate behaviour without consequence. Shauny Aluko will surely not thank his manager for the “cheat and a liar” association. Words like those tend to follow a player.

    Compare & contrast. . . . . .

     

     

    Fat Sally goes absolutely tonto about the Aluko affair and more or less slaughters everyone on the Appeal Panel that came to the CORRECT verdict. Headlines –

     

     

    ‘McCOIST ANGRY OVER RESULT OF ALUKO APPEAL’.

     

     

    Neil answers, very coolly and calmly, a question about his own Club and it is somehow construed as a ‘pop’ at the Fat One. Headlines –

     

     

    ‘SHUT IT ALLY’ & ‘LENNON RAPS MccOIST’

     

     

    As I said earlier, they’re not even trying to hide their bias. . . . . .

     

     

    Shocking.

    Sincere condolences on your sad loss mate. Time is a healer but in the course of time, if you are like me, then often, when you find yourself alone and of late I’ve sought that solace, your best friend will be your memories and their indelible kiss on your heart will beyond mere words and your eternal treasure.

    He watched right enough, watched it waft its way up and across London Road, over the Indoor Arena, and out of sight.

     

     

    It was our good fortune that Bournesouprecipe chanced upon it while rooting for wing mirrors down by the Clyde this morning.

  4. Can’t Celtic make representations to the Levenson Committee (or whatever it is called) to include the hounding and utter misrepresentation of our manager? He has suffered much worse at their hands than the likes of Hugh Grant. I too heard his comments yesterday, There is no way he attacked anyone. These rags are a disgrace to free speech. Here’s hoping they go to the wall asap.

    The staw that broke THIS camel’s back was the fallout from Aiden getting sent off against Hibs-really got the hump(sorry)and have not bought the record or scottish sun since.

     

     

    I still flick through their sites though,justto remind myself why I don’t buy them!

  6. This is a very unpredictable fixture for Celtic as others have stated Hearts seem to lift their game against us, and we shouldn’t need reminding that, we suffered a very poor defeat, especially tactically at Tynecastle.

     

     

    Of course Celtic at home is a different prospect, but there may be some change to the side that won at Tannadice, because of injury, though this should not affect the flow of the team’s 4-4-2 which has turned fifteen points, into four.

     

     

    I expect the team news at 2.00pm may show the same Celtic side as last week, with Mulgrew in for Matthews if the reports of his training ground injury, are accurate.

     

     

    Celtic will be otherwise unchanged, meaning captain Scott Brown waiting on the bench, as under the current format, it’s very difficult to see how Wanyama or Kayal could be displaced.

  7. I don’t know what the worlds coming to, neither I do. What with galeblown gazeboes with BJmac’s 600 Norwegians arriving, Goldstar mistaking CocaCola for Bovril, the SFA upholding a ban for a Hun and wee Lenny giving Fat Sal it tight, BSR missing the game to watch a rerun of the Beyonce video fae last night, next you’ll have DBBIA telling me that Ole Johnny Clash never did play at the ole Burns’ Howfh and even if he did it was probably a modern day set and it was rubbish.

     

     

    We did win the big one in 67, didn’t we?

    You are of course entitled to your opinion.

     

     

    But that team has as much chance of starting as the huns signing…er… Anybody

  11. A celebration for Kano and I missed it, well belatedly I’ll drink to him and to all those who helped him home. To all those who have never known a mention for all that you did, for all that you sacrificed, for those who had no means to donate coin but offered their prayers and/or their thoughts in lieu, to those who did what you did and bestowed honour on others, without each and every one of you in the family then the family would never be one.

     

     

    Is it three years now since Kano fell ill? Three years and a month or is it four and four weeks? So long ago and time distorts the mind and the memories.

     

    Kano ill in hospital and the mocking clock; Kano out of hospital and the mocking clock is replaced with mocking anniversaries.

     

     

    I remember cold nights in the rain in Glasgow waiting for a bus to come along and five minutes felt like an eternity.

     

     

    I’ve never asked Kano how long a minute is, how long an hour is, how long a year is, but I bet his interpretation of time is not in tandem with mine.

     

     

    Kano cannot easily communicate, it is almost impossible, but others can readily communicate with him if they are only but of a mind to; and if you do… it’ll make his long afternoon hours , those long, years, just a wee bit shorter and a wee bit more interesting.

     

     

    Congratulations to the Kano Foundation you have been a credit to humanity, your club, yourselves and the man who loves the Celtic and lives in Perth.

  12. Afternoon bhoys, cool, but hun free as ever.

     

     

    According to some of the posters on RTC, wee craigie may well have been at more of his dodgy deals when he bought his wee castle in the Highlands.

     

     

    Whatever next ??

     

     

    Will he get found out that he isn’t a billionair, naw, that could never happen.

     

     

    ……………………………………….

     

     

    Any win will do today, 3 points is all that matters.

    Up in the loft there,for the Christmas decorations.

     

    Wife says”do you want the torch”?

     

    Naw it’s ok ,I just had a carrot.

     

    Cue,ya cheeky sarcastic b.

     

    Wummin, they have no sense of humour.

  14. The Battered Bunnet on

    Watched the BBC press conference with Lenny there.

     

     

    While he might have been better served simply dead batting the question about Furious McCoist’s (Google that btw) comments, there is nothing said that isn’t cautious.

     

     

    With the press ignoring wholesale some of the biggest issues to face the game in this country, one would have thought that there was more to write about this morning than misrepresenting the Celtic manager.

     

     

    Still, they have their part to play in writing the script for the pantomime of the SPL, and every panto needs a villain. From the three characters mentioned in this scene, can you guess which one should be booed and hissed? http://i54.tinypic.com/2us7jv4.jpg

  15. Bhoys,

     

     

    Shift at work (if you could call it that) is almost over so I’m signing off in the hope that Embra’s Green & White do us a wee turn this lunchtime.

     

     

    And, of course, I expect GLASGOW’S GREEN & WHITE to give the mini-Huns a right good spanking today.

     

     

    Although, I’ll take 3pts whichever way they may come.

     

     

    To those of you going to the game, enjoy! Give the team & Neil your full backing and I’m sure they will repay you with some lovely football & goals.

     

     

    Will be back later for updates.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    I don’t see what’s unrealistic about it if Izzy is fit,ok Dylan probably won’t start but he should be getting played as much as possible at home.

    “…Furious McCoist’s (Google that btw)….”

     

     

    Absolutely shocking. Googling: “Furious McCoist” brings up a photo of an angry-looking Neil Lennon as the first result.

     

     

    The hun-bigot media monkeys really are out to get our manager.

    I wish craig burley had never played for Celtic, cretin of a “man” Ray Stubbs is fast catching up too, John Collins needs a medal for being able to keep his cool surrounded by so many idiots.

    Lenny has some job picking that team. I’ve been trying to work out my midfield for today for 9 hours and still no further forward.

     

     

    Brown, Kayal, Wanyama, Samaras OR Forrest, Kayal, Wanyama, Samaras,

     

     

    Either way im going for 4-4-2 seen as we are Celtic, They are Hearts, & it’s at Paradise. No fear. Be confident in how we set up and how we play.

     

     

    Get into them from the start Celtic, hassle them, play them off the Park and have them demoralised by half time.

     

     

    Send the scum home annihilated pleeeeeeeeease.

    Anyone know the religious/ethnic background of the panel? If it turns out that they’re Tims, it might explain why RFC and the media are at such great pains to expose them to the hun masses. The inference that their background is an issue will whip the Follow Follow brigade up into a frenzy of conspiratorial anti-Catholicism.
