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.

Thanks for that. In lieu of no M’well goals footage that was excellent.
:o)

No problem, didn’t know where you were.
Maybe worth a flying visit just to see Wilson’s hurting wee gub.
There is one wee lad who needs to hold his mammy’s hand

If they played Georg Friedrich Händel’s Death March behind the Wilson fella it might cheer him up a bit.
rwe
I just had to put it up

I’m actually going to Motherwell on Sunday for a Christening. Will be in the Tavern for the second leg. Hope to see you there Kickinthenakas.
Hail Hail

Sharing a bottle of whisky? Whats wrong with one each:_)
Wilson looking at Nevin as if he is from another planet.
Planet Victory, you sad bitter wee man
Nevin still a giddy wee numpty

RWE: Check that last page. Put up link to third goal …
Wilson says lee mcculloch will be back on Sunday..yippee
Nevin. Lots of words. Little meaning
Bye bye huns,
Bye bye happiness,
Hello (hello) loneliness,

Has the Dutch full back signed yet ??? said on twitter he was expected to sign this morning….whats the latest ?????????????
Just had a wee peek at Sevco Meeja. I think it’s fair to say that they’Re not confident for Sunday. Wallace seems to be a scapegoat.
topkat: Huns are in for him. They’ve offered him two Mars bars and one of Fat Sally’s daffodils …

If you are good for a laugh, The Mentalpause, the Monster and Me is well worth it, I have read it many, many times, and still split ma sides.
It will be on the tele in the near future, J has has very positive feedback, just yesterday she was asked who she wanted to play her, and we have been having a heated debate about it, al good fun :-)
Over the moon Mrs ttt likes it so far, it gets better.
HH
Tom McG, will do pal. You can draw swords, I’ll get some drams in. Hope to be down a couple of time this year when the young one goes back to uni. I should say ones because Miss acgr (professional parasite) is going back to Edinburgh uni for another degree when she returns from Cambodia.
Plenty of scope to drink you under a few tables in Edinburgh’s finest whisky hostelry’s
HH Looks like you’re enjoying being back in Scotland.
whisky, nearly as boring as golf, nearly as boring as burns.

TET, I met OHITs at the game on sunday. He’s just bought a gaff about 20 minutes from me. We’re getting towards a right good tim fourball.
Glad to hear Mrs TET’s book is doing well. I’ll honor my previous and take 10 copies. Not sure when I’m back over but I’ll let you know. I’ve got a lot of trips in the coming months so it may not be till oct / nov.
HH bruv
St Stivs, shut it. I love the drams:_)
n the golf………………………………..define burns, is it the friction kind?
Matthew1888
Thank you – I only watched the first three goals going in and left happy.
You don’t live in the Briggs do you?
