Fifa is unfit for purpose, investigations abound but we’ve not seen convictions yet. The president has not been arrested, but, well, he has president over this enormous shambles, yet he refuses to resign. His resignation is needed to relieve the reputation of Fifa, the reputation of football itself. We all know this, but SFA chef exec, Stewart Regan said as much.
The SFA is Blatter’s role model. Regan conceded SFA president Campbell Ogilvie was horribly conflicted, as the Association dealt with the consequences of the biggest directorial negation of duty in Scottish football history – by Ogilvie, who was director and company secretary of the dysfunctional board.
Ogilvie never resigned. Ogilvie has still not resigned. Regan said nothing. Ogilvie’s supporters in the game rallied round, just as Blatter’s have today.
This is how human nature works. Ogilvie has been in enough committee meetings, pressed enough flesh, to ensure that despite the slaying he took at the hands of Lord Nimmo Smith’s SPL inquiry, he could brass it out. Accountability at the SFA does not exist. I get it. But, the SFA cannot have the audacity to make moralistic statements about the corporate accountability of others.
It is a depressing feature of Scottish life that we don’t have a culture of accountability, that the media are not sufficiently plural that such hypocrisy is exposed for what it is, that there isn’t a single elected representative prepared to disengage with the Scottish establishment on this today.
The new media are not there yet. We don’t have the authority of a broadcaster or politician to demand, and get, accountability. That’ll change in time.

Newquay has banned the manquini!
Not before time imo.
Who will be next?
Saltcoats?
HH!!
The fact that Steven McManus is making Nicky Clark look like a centre forward…suggests to me, big Mick should call it a day
Tom given your flat earth society credentials I am betting you think the Huns are the same club?
Pattersony ruins his cords…………..with a Misser, miss………..
tallybhoy
That’s not a bad thing but Newquay could do with banning a lot of other things to avoid becoming the west coasts version of jay wick or clacton
Ah the famine song. Won’t you all be happy to have Huns back again eh…….
Dd will be licking his lips.
Neganon2 –
I assume what you meant to say was . . . I am betting you think the Huns are the same club as the old club.
No, of course not. The old club were liquidated and the team playing Motherwell tonight are a new club established in 2012.

At the time and to do what ACGR suggests at that time yes.
Too big a risk to take or would you have taken it and the blame for pouring petrol on a smouldering fire?
That does not mean as you seem to infer I think we should be afraid to speak out to asset ourselves on all occasions.
It’s a judgement call and I like the judge to consider relevant factors at the time.
I’m not for painting targets on the back of other Celtic supporters to satisfy my own needs.

Listened to old crowded house music
Not heard much since they split up
This tie could go either way………both teams equally shoite.
It’s ironic the Huns hate Ashley so, yet without his loanee — Vuckic — they likely would have finished entirely out of the playoff places. That was the key move of their season, not signing McCall …
The bold Deek on Shortie –
…”an aimless lump up the park…”

The only thing musical DD cares about is the sound of do ray me coming through the turnstiles.
Motherwell are awful.
The Motherwell kit man is allegedly back at fir park to see if he can locate their cajones….
Tom, did you read what I wrote. Please dont put your words in my post.
I suggested nothing of the kind. I suggested that Celtic making a statement in the immediate aftermath of their demise with the correct legal wording would not have given them the opportunity to concoct the big lie.
You may be happy with the way Celtic handled this but Im certainly not.
Is Vukic the new Messi?
Discuss.

till tomorrow all
Ok Tom. So are the media, the SFA and other Scottish institutions lying about them being the same club?
Same question to you Auldheid?
The core of Motherwell — McManus, McDonald, Lasley, Pearson and Sutton — are all 32 or older. (With Lasley being an ancient 36.) Does not bold well for them being able to hold a lead, should they be so lucky …
“Full house at Ibrox tonight. Must be fancy dress at Ibrox cos lots of people dressed as blue seats.”
Neganon,
To be fair, that looks a healthy sized crowed to me.

Ever thought that they know the truth but know by peddling the line that the Huns and a lot of Celtic and or neutrals will buy their shite just because they spout it? It helps their ailing industry
