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.

    Wee hun side kick says,”yoosel no be happy wee Forrest wants to play

     

    for team GB”

     

    Not at all my good man ,says I ,anything that helps break up the corrupt

     

    and bias SFA is ok in my book.

     

    Hail hail

  2. “Both Rangers and Celtic will have their difficult patches through the season,” he said. “We had ours early.”

     

     

     

     

    Did wee Jamesy really say that or was it redacted?

     

     

    Celtic First. The clue is in the name.

  3. The best quote I’ve seen on Cameron’s catastrophic decision was by David Milliband and I quote……

     

     

    “The UK had “jumped into a rowing boat” next to a “supertanker”, he said. “That is weakness not strength.”

  4. I don’t bet, -but if I did I would bet on Ragers penalty awards remaining suspiciously high.

     

     

    Maybe even starting at Easter Road tomorrow, – that’s what makes them Hunique.

    row z – Which part of the 26 county free-stater take it down from the mast Irish traitors do you not understand?

     

     

    Pardon? (thumbsup)

     

     

    I repeat……………………… Which part of the 26 county free-stater take it down from the mast Irish traitors do you not understand?

     

     

    Pardon? (thumbsup)

     

     

    Britain and Ireland can return to being sovereign nations once again?

     

     

    Well once Britain decides that the Imperialist Empire Sovereignty is over and it can return the remainder of Ireland back to the Sovereignty from whence it came then your statement may be accurate.

     

     

    At least the EU is an elective process where Sovereignties can join or not or even leave if they so desire.

     

     

    The Oppressor is usually blind to their own oppression of others.

    It’s funny to hear Ed talk about strength. Or even about anything. :) (thumbsup)

  7. On the ole iTunes you can get Free’s – ‘Alright Now’ for 59p

     

     

    When it came out in 1970 it was 7/- ( Shillings ) i think you called them that, and you got a big bit of plastic as well.

    Well, we can’t undo the past, row z.

     

     

    Just try to make the future better.

     

     

    Whether Northern Ireland remains part of the UK or reunifies with the rest of Ireland, one thing is indubitably true: we’re all better off without the EU.

     

     

    The Oppressor is usually blind to their own oppression of others.

     

     

    The subjugation of Ireland today to bail out the Euro brings to mind 19th century imperialism. I don’t think the men who fought for Irish freedom would have approved. (thumbsup)

  9. We should make as many of our eligible young players available for selection to team GB. A cunning ploy to give FIFA an excuse to ensure that there is only one team from GB in all future international competitions and rid us of the H*n dominated SFA. A New GB FA would need to be formed as well as a new league structure that would allow Celtic to play in the new GB premier division. I would suggest the NI teams would join the League of Ireland.

     

     

    Just a thought mind

    That is Sally saying I have said my piece. That is it. No further action against me.

    Good point. Maybe Celtic should encourage all brits in our ranks, to play for team GB. If the sfa are scared that FIFA will then move to appoint just the one national FA, then maybe Celtic wouldn’t be restricted to which league we ply our trade in.

  13. row z – Sorry I missed this point:

     

     

    At least the EU is an elective process where Sovereignties can join or not or even leave if they so desire.

     

     

    Nope.

     

     

    There is no provision in the EU treaties for a country to be allowed to leave. It’s like a kinder, gentler version of the Soviet Union in that sense.

     

     

    Just see how nasty they will get when the UK decides enough is enough. (thumbsup)

    An echo in here. ;)

  15. Serge posted an article at the foot of the last thread talking about a double celebration at Celtic because Lenny and James Forrest deservedly won SPL manager and young player of the month respectively.

     

     

    I wondered at the time who might have picked up the SPL player of the month.

     

     

    After a fair old bit of digging on the BBC Scotland website I managed to find out the identity of the player. It was Gary Hooper.

    What’s happened to Matthews?

  17. It`s Good News week,

     

     

    ” Celtic are celebrating a trio of awards by the Scottish Premier League for their performances in November.

     

     

    Neil Lennon won manager of the month for guiding his side to four league wins, closing the gap on Rangers at the top of the table to four points.

     

     

    Player of the month Hooper scored goals against Motherwell and Dunfermline and a hat-trick against St Mirren.

     

     

    Winger Forrest took the young player award after impressing for his team throughout November.

     

     

    He also won the young player’s award for September.”

    ASonofDan – not deflecting anything. you are the one who has twice questioned my religion in relation to my support of the hoops. as i said i will let the muslim boy who sits beside me and who went to a non denom school know your views on his support of the team tomorrow. i dont need to say what school i went to cos it doesnt matter we are all celtic fans. that should be all that does matter. not to you obvously

     

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    Declan,

     

     

    The problem that you think people have with you may be down to your inability to engage with people.

     

     

    EVERYONE on here is subject to criticism at some,or most,times for their views and opinions. Most can provide a rational explanation for their opinions,even in the face of overwhelming opposition.

     

     

    Think PHILVIS or KOJO,for example. Twats of the highest order-with the utmost respect,fellas-in the eyes of many on here,and able to support their posts with humour,facts,opinions and the occasional GIRUY to us all.

     

     

    As a result,they command respect,even though we may all want to resort to a swift boot in the hawmaws.

     

     

    If you are unable to accept criticism of your views,or believe you are being picked upon in a public forum for being unable to support those views,I suggest you look and learn,then post again.

     

     

    I look forward to hearing from you after you have taken this on board,and expect to converse with you again at about the same time as your tattos have worn away.

    We should invoke Art 50 immediately. (thumbsup)

    Speak for yourself.

     

    It’s funny how we would be geared towards federalisation of Europe if those pesky Europeans gave into Dave’s banking demands.
