SFA and Sevco agree on embargo

719

This evening we received clarity on two items first reported here and on several other locations months ago.  Sevco have accepted the 12 month player registration embargo handed down by Lord Carloway’s Appellate Tribunal as a condition of their application for membership of the SFA, while Fifa have granted four former Rangers players permission to sign for new clubs.

The SFA, under president Campbell Ogilvie, took every step possible to alert Sevco that if they did not accept the transfer embargo a more severe penalty would be imposed on Rangers, whose licence they are trying to acquire.  Hopes of “elimination” from the Scottish Cup as an alternative punishment were based on false logic, and were also just silly.

Sevco disputed the embargo, hoping the SFA would offer to set it aside, as it tried to set-aside so many other rules to accommodate them in recent weeks, however, the best the new company could achieve was an accommodation to allow them to stock up on players over the next five weeks in order to off-set the effects of so many players ‘walking away’.

There is a chance this decision will save Sevco a second season in the SFL Third Division but there remains many hurdles for the new club to achieve before they start and complete a football season.

No mention yet of what the SFA and SPL plan to do with the plethora of other disciplinary matters due against Rangers, or how they proposed to prevent their own independent judicial process from reaching an inconvenient verdict.

    Ha, cheers, that sounds like a challenge…

     

     

    Im planning on going to visit my Sister in Sydney in December, might pop up.

    South Korea 3 – Senegal 0 (Olympics warm-up match, July 20, 2012) Celtic midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng broke the deadlock with a 30-yard golazo early on, before Arsenal striker Park Chu-Young doubled the lead with a close range header in the 6th minute. Koo Ja-Cheol killed the match on the half hour slamming home a loose ball following another Korean attack.

    I might branch out to bark a bit of advice and then leave.

     

    Don’t forget your roots.

  4. You are well aware of the conflict, the volatility of division, division of any kind, yet you invoke it.

     

     

    Are you sectarian, I think you are so mixed up and stupid you would not understand the concept but you tar our club with your ignorance.

     

     

    Is Greek Orthodox a religion, is Russian Orthodox a religion, is atheism a religion? For somebody who purports to live in Scotland you have just circumnavigated the clock.

     

     

    You can’t ever get these days back, you have squandered them, and you are one day closer to those fake sick notes becoming your sad epitaph.

     

     

    You are sick mate… get help.

  5. The Herald:

     

    “The agreement will now be ratified by an Independent Appellate Tribunal, likely to be convened early next week.”

     

     

    Should it not be ratified there will be a different tribunal convened until the desired outcome is achieved.

    Don’t let the blog continue to be hijacked by the same poster yet again,with the continued volte-face and short but regular tea breaks.

    Dont waste your breath. Her ignorance knows no bounds.

  8. Looks like the SPL is not playing in the agreement with Sevco. If the investigation into the additional payments to players goes ahead it could be fun – as the principle that Sevco can be punished for Rangers’ deeds now seems to be agreed.

    How do you know Murray is a Presbyterian? Or, is this just a big assumption on your part?

    Not so sure that is correct. SPL want to punish Rangers by removing their tainted titles. Sevco want to benefit from the tainted titles, which they cannot be allowed to do.

     

     

    Other than that, I’m not sure what the SPL can do, as Sevco aren’t under their jurisdiction as it were. Despite what the media say, any removal of titles is not a punishment applied to Sevco, it is applied to former club, Rangers.

    You do know we’re discussing Rangers Chairmain, Malcolm Murray right?

  15. dirtymac,

     

     

    My view has always been that they are two seperate clubs and Sevco should not have any of Rangers’ history, punishments, etc. Pretending that one is really the other leads to all sorts of difficulties.

     

     

    Of course that means the new club Sevco doesn’t qualify for the league at all – but that’s just a nice consequence of applying the rules fairly and equally to all.

    …I’m not making a sectarian remark when I ask where are the decent Protestants willing to uphold the values of their club?…

    I would like to think I’m a decent Protestant, and would like to think I uphold the values of my club also.

  17. You don’t have a season ticket do you?

     

     

    With every post your mask slips. What is your agenda?

    Yep.

     

     

    Unfortunately, some people appear to think that a new club is not a new club, it is an old club, but also the new club is a new club and has nothing to do with the old club.

     

     

    You know: it’s our titles, but you can’t punish us, it wasn’t us (who won those titles unfairly).

     

     

    Makes a whole load of sense if anyone really thinks about it (with the caveat that their thought processes barely struggle to surpass those of an amoeba)

    And our club’s better off for it, always has been always will do.

  21. Rant on the way!!

     

     

    Don’t know what’s happening at Celtic TV, but, I would suggest they need to get their act together! I posted earlier about having problems trying to subscribe, not for the first time either! Sent an email, still waiting for a reply. Have no idea how many subscribers worldwide there are, but I would imagine the number must be in the thousands! Nice little earner for the club I would imagine!

     

     

    HH!!

  22. Just got home 26 hours without sleep partying all nite these are great times to be alive
