“The Scottish FA has a responsibility to all its members and must implement its rules without fear or favour”. Stewart Regan, SFA chief executive, 24 April 2012.
What chance the SFA will be able to act without fear now? I don’t imply they will act without favour, but do you believe SFA panellists can act without fear? Anyone who participates in Rangers appeal process and upholds their punishment will act despite fear.
This process, one of the most important the SFA has dealt with in years, has been subverted, and that calls for a far greater sanction that any already imposed.

Ernie et al,
I hold no brief for McCoist .I am a Celtic man and he is a Rangers man . I was a councillor on EKDC in the 80′s and met him on several occasions. I can assure you he gave up a lot of his time to support youth work in EK without any recompense. I also found Ian Ferguson to be even more willing to help out regardless of who he was working with or helping
……………………………………………….
I guess that makes them two great guys then. I’ve totally revised my opinions of both of them. Eh …………….. then again ………….. maybe not. :-)

I may have it wrong. But if we wish to honour or founders would it not involve a harp and crown?
=========
You are trying to stir the merde – stop it
Certainly not. As I understand it at the time of our founding, the flag of Ireland portrayed a harp surmounted by a crown.
As I posted earlier, I would settle for club’s original strip.
Just seen the Jardine interview, one word…
HUN
Hail hail
MME
Just had a look at their Hampden Protest Banner.
No to SFA
No more impartial punishment.
Impartial – “not favouring one side or the other”
Well they certainly don’t want any of that.

Was King Billy not a gay chappie then?
Many believe he was as they believe Wellington was too. Gay chappies.
I didnt say nancy boy or poof or some other derogatory word. So calm down.

Ah! A strip debate! This is more like the Real CQN! I feel so happy about our (CQN) return to our roots, that I am going to make a comment about No 13 Shorts` comment below.
“The No.13 Shorts on 26 April, 2012 at 18:55 said:
Oglach: in my opinion, a strip in that form would be our equivilant of them releasing a union jack strip.”
Celtic were created by some Irish fellas. The current Celtic FC are perfectly entitled to reflect those origins in using the colours of Ireland on a Celtic football strip to commemorate 125 years. Virtually EVERY other team in Britain was founded by British fellas so they would all be entitled to wear a Union Jack strip but it would be a bit confusing. Anyway, only ONE British team feels the need to tell people they are British, quintissentially so, in fact. Don`t you just love them?
JJ
PS I agree with those who are suggesting that Tims who think that Celtic should hide its Irish origins are simply worried about upsetting The Establishment. I have no patriotic feelings at all but I know that kow-towing to bullies is a mistake.
Best wat strip for me was the white with vertical green pinstripe, green shorts and socks in 1982.
Was in the window of the local sports shop for a very long time(Ayrshire) and I looked at it everytime but couldn’t decide whether to get it or the then current Hoops.
Went for the Hoops but always had nagging doubt. Got the slime green(5-0 v S Lisbon) away top the next year and it wasn’t the same(2 washes and the Umbro bit came off).
Worst strip was tha zig zag mess with Peoples as sponsor around 92.
I was advised on here to stop listening to Snyde…so I did just that…and guess what?..my mood has improved. HH!
‘wat’ was ‘away’ – sorry
Until such times as there is a decision in the Big Tax Case and there is a decision on the rumours listing dual contracts – they, the media especially, are at liberty to blame Craig Whyte and Craig Whyte alone.
And by dint Sally is a man maligned.
Shameless huns.
U
Aye Spiers it is going to get worse for Rangers.
And Walter Smith DOES know this because he is in part to blame.
Succulent Lamb article from Wikipedia:
According to those who are regarded connoisseurs, often called in the trade “Swine Experts”, Succulent Lamb tastes like chicken, with a hint of pork. The flesh is a very rich, firm and according to those in the know, strangely tender meat. In relatives terms few have tasted the Succulent Lamb because it is normally administered by very wealthy or powerful patrons- this accounts for its expensive rarity. Excessive consumption of Lamb results in a fever known as Murrimania, also known as Traynor’s Fever. It can be infectious, serious in some cases, and on a few occasions has been known to be fatal. It is highly virulent in Scottish sports journalists. The primary vector of the virus is fine wine eaten with the Lamb. It has been largely contained within the confines of the native region, in epidemic proportions, and largely endemic to the Glasgow conurbation. Edinburgh bankers, particularly the golfing class, are reservoir hosts. Caution should be shown in case of obtaining a bite from a Scots hack when in the country: the saliva transmission primarily infect macrophages, a form of white blood cells, that make it able to evade the immune system. No treatment is as yet known. Quarantine for the victim is essential but rarely happens. Infection leads an acute bout of what is medically known as “Delirium Recordium” which causes the brain to be starved of oxygen, an inability to think or reason effectively, jabber inanely, drool like a sick dog, an inability to sleep at night, hideously perspire with an insatiable lust for more Succulent Lamb- the Lamb’s high protein content excessively stresses the kidneys so the urea is overwhelmed and the sufferer rapidly wets their pants. Behaviourally the sufferer can be detected when the demonstrate the following symptoms: the tongue swells up like a cumberland sausage so the sufferer can only utter flattery, pure guffery and when they are together they will demonstrate an overwhelming bias towards treachery and collusion, even where simple truth is more preferable. The very pronounced victims, such as a one Chico the Younger, demonstrate a rare deranged level of adulation, kowtowing and deference to the giver of Lamb- in fact even when the Lamb is no longer given by the original host the sufferer will continue to show irrational levels of devotion to the host. There are various physical symptoms such as classically seen in Jabba Traynor ( whence the term Traynor’s Fever originates) such as selective hearing, an inability for the eyes to see the truth, acute baldness, abdominal corpulence and a dour demeanour randomly punctuated by pointless smiling. The sufferer can and will make things up, grand fabrications, in the manner of mythomaniac, almost akin to Munchausen syndrome but then suddenly, normally when losing an argument, start violently spouting out pseudo-facts with a froth in their mouth. Especial care should be exercised for kowtowing of these poor sufferers of Murrimania. There is anecdotal account of a sufferer only known as Spierzy; when the giver of Succulent Lamb entered the room, he the sufferer, as though dazzled by his presence, prostrated himself on the floor like it was a prayer mat screaming: “Salva sit Reverentia! Hail! Esto Perpetua!” May your shadow never be less! And as mentioned above no cure as yet has been discovered for this horrible condition: the best advice is to stay clear of Scottish sports journalists and make sure you digest no Succulent Lamb, particularly with fine wine, when you are in the country.
If McCoist wants transparency and openness I think he should lead by example.
Tell us what you whispered into Neil’s ear.
The SFA has written to Sally, Jardine and the myth demanding them to attend a special hearing where they will be………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… given the opportunity to overturn the Judicial Panel’s judgement
Agreed. But a walking tri-colour ffs?
The No.13 Shorts on 26 April, 2012 at 18:55 said:
I have to agree with you. If ‘they’ started running about in a union jack shirt, we would all be on here sneering. (and rightly so!)
A tricolour jersey would be the same, and when our Club was formed in 1888, with Irish roots, the Tricolour was not actually the flag of ireland. We would be the butt of all sorts of ‘plastic paddy’ jokes.
I am all for acknowledging the Club’s roots, (Scottish and Irish) although many on here, sadly like to ignore the Scottish part.
Overall though – the jersey would just look like some sort of crhap they sell along the Gallowgate, and not at all in-keeping with a Club that is looking to grow it’s fanbase from Poland to Korea with all points in-between.
A bit more class than that needed from Nike I feel.
Bet the SFA are regretting having assisted RIA in the acquisition of CL money over the passed 3 years….and bet the MIM are regretting the negativity agenda against Celtic over the passed 3 years …… It simply prolonged their agony and made the ‘crash’ more intensive……
Ulysses
The SFA is a happy distraction for these people. WHEN they go under, it’s not going to vbe their fault.
Jardine’s comment that the FA helped Portsmouth…Mmm
Well if you’re so big and important to Scottish Fitba Sandy, how come you need the SFA to hauner ye oot o yer troubles.
We cannae survive without ye, remember ya spanner.
And that would be the Portsmouth that are in the crap still. What a good arrangement that wasn’t.
Political Correctness is another silly Amerikan invention. Let people say exactly what’s in their heads…that way you know exactly where they’re coming from.
If you don’t want to offend someone then there are words like ‘respect’,’decency’ & ‘thoughtfulness’ that can be employed in one’s thinking;not some pseudo-scientific claptrap flopped out from some right-wing university in The Ooo Ess Aaa.
Rant over.

-> Totally agree – an embarassment to our great Club. Second place for me went to the canary-yellow ‘prison outfit’ with arrows on it – from the period when the Maestro was captain. Awful.
This is the argument, isn’t it..? McCoist’s sinister outburst was ‘out of character’ while anything Neil Lennon does is typical of him nothing to do with what he’s suffered over the past year or so.
And just as I type that, Delanhunt suggets wee ally should indeed be pulled up for questioning the Sfa’s impartiality. Tee hee.
Mr Spiers think Sally should not be punished since he was under pressure. Hello, Graham, don’t recall you making a similar comment about NEIL
Excellent by Jim Delahunt
‘I’m beginning to wonder about McCoist. Should he not be had up for his comments’. Sock it to them Jim.
Spiers does his usual. Pontius Pilate.
Portsmouth. Do they REALLY want to be compared to Portsmouth?

Oglach I think you’re wrong about both clubs reason for releasing such strips were ever to happen. For both clubs it would be because they think it would make lots of money. The fans reasons for buying it might be as you suggest. The clubs, purely commercial in my opinion.
———
Any shirt the club releases serves one primary purpose generation of revenue. Hence the never ending stream of Day-Glo dross masquerading as away strips, European strips or whatever the marketing men come up with. However the level at which a club may exploit the baser elements of its support should be questioned. I for one, perhaps being overly biased, cannot see anything amiss with Celtic exploiting the 125th anniversary of our clubs founding by marketing a shirt that overtly wallows in our ‘Irish heritage’ the shirt will undoubtedly , for mainly benign reasons, generate a huge amount of revenue for the Club worldwide. To compare this to a union jack shirt or an Orange shirt is way off the mark. I believe that the argument is academic as the shirt in question is allegedly a hoax.

Hail Hail…..
Original SadiesBhoy,
I am only giving you my experience of them. They are only human beings like you and me. I found Ferguson a most generous and modest man – quite unlike his on field persona. As a Christian I find goodness in peculiar places.
Damm it some smart Hun on Snyde has just discovered how we won our 9 in a row
Desmond White smuggled unknown number of £milions in a suitcase from South America to fund Big Jock’s 9 in a row,hopefully that is not true and our titles are not tainted were won on sporting merit only
Ally was simply frustrated and he let fly. It’s understandable with all the stress he’s been under. Now that nasty old Neil Lennon…..what’s his excuse?
Did Gregg Wylde leave voluntarily or was he pushed? Hero or Opportunist?
Duff & Phelps continue contradicting themselves…
On 06 March 2012 Gregg Wylde and Mervan Celik leave Rangers
http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/299909-rangers-release-gregg-wylde/
The two players have left the club, with Wylde saying he hopes his move will “save other people’s jobs”.
STV understands Wylde has agreed to waive his March salary and will not take any redundancy package.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17221172
Earlier, Gregg Wylde and Mervan Celik left the club voluntarily.
Today the story is retold in newspeak…
26 April 2012
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4280431/Gregg-Wylde-close-to-Bolton-debut.html
Wylde has been left kicking his heels on the sidelines for the last month since being signed by Coyle on a free transfer from Rangers after the Glasgow club went into administration. Coyle is adamant Bolton, assisted by administrators Duff and Phelps, have categorically proven Wylde was made redundant and is owed money by Rangers.
In listening to the whinging of many connected with Rangers FC, I’m reminded of the (true) story of the man appearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing on a charge of serious assault. His Lawyer addressed the Judge thus – “M’Lud, my client appears before the court today well aware that he has the Sword of Damocles hanging over him”. To which the Sheriff replied “Perhaps he should have thought of that before he pulled the Knife of Stanley out of his pocket”….

I think its all gotten too personal McCoist, Smith, Jardine, they have acted on impulse and in my opinion are wrong, and their comments have implications. Doesn’t make them bad people in general but the crux of the matter and the media, fans, etc are trying to deflect from the issues that what they did was wrong and there has to be repercussions thats what they signed up to as well a every other team in spl. However they are the only team to for close on another and one of their own, Airdrie for only £30k. I’m surprised that Traynor hasn’t gone to town in revenge for this but the succulent lamb must be tasting good!!!
