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.

    Penalty; would have been looking for it had it happened against us

    Never a foul against edu. We suffer those usually

     

    Jellavic left the field of play twice afyet scoring. Where was the yellow cards?

  4. Had a horrible experience at Celtic Park.

     

     

    My ticket didn’t work and the man behind started to curse me.

     

     

    “You’re holding it the wrong way you p*&^k!”

     

     

    Someone behind him told him that the turnstile was faulty and he went to the next one. As did I.

     

     

    At the “Paradise Windfall woman” I observed mildly that I’d been holding the card properly after all.

     

     

    This turned out to be a mistake.

     

     

    Without warning he turned and butted me in the face, knocking me to the ground and splitting my lip.

     

     

    This was a totally unprovoked attack which has left me shaken and wondering just what the hell made this man act in such a crazy manner.

     

     

    The description I gave to the police was sketchy, though he must have scanned his ticket just before I did.

     

     

    After medical treatment for my gushing lip, I got to see the second half, but let’s say my enjoyment was impaired.

     

     

    Sickened.
