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.

mcsmall is asking his players to “throw caution to the wind” ……… There will, therefore be a lot of farting at Fir Park then, eh….

Many thanks.
Q – who said the following slabberings?
“Rangers will go big tonight, i think they will score 6” (yesterday evening)
and after beating hibs last wednesday:-
“Rangers are the most important team in scottish football”
“Rangers should get team of the year”
“Stuart McCall should get manager of the year”
A – Brain-dead pseudo-hun Adrian Durham on TalkSpurt
I wonder if he will mention anything about it tonight or just hide behind other stories?
Fud.
The determination to get their name on the European Cup at any cost ultimately did for Oldco – will that same obsession with the Petrofac Cup see Sevco head the same way?

Another hun who lets his love of hunnery cloud his judgement. And in his case especially,he canny afford that.
67 Heaven…Jamesgang
They truly are Gash…..and with the worst fans in the world booing them to defeat.
Its was great viewing for me and Mrs Green Man.
Although, the Sevconians downstairs….may not have appreciated my vocal gloating.
Ha Ha….GIRUY Sevco….shout the Green Family.
We will be even louder on Sunday…..and if all goes Well.

Mailed you back. It’s an actual petition form which you can hopefully just print off.
I reckon on Sunday….If Well beat Sevco….I will be obliged to give the local Sevconians, a very loud rendition of The Soldier Song,…right on the final whistle.
Its only fair, because they have annoyed me by wearing their poxy strips in broad daylight. Outrageous.

And all joking aside that’s what I’d read yesterday too. You’d expect he’d likely prefer that to a move to play in scotland.
:-(
Hope I’m wrong.
MT – fingers, toes, everything crossed!
Bobbio – I’ve never told you/anyone not to smoke. That’s yer lungs you’re hearing nagging you!

They stick out like a sore thumb round here.
As from next season, they will be banned from wearing those rags in my street.
I might even put a sign up……No Scabby Hun Strips Permitted in this Area.
And its totally true that…GLASGOW IS GREEN AND WHITE.
HH
TGM
Never see hun strips around these parts. They have been replaced with Chelsea tops.
Clydebank is Green & White!
As You know been in Spain for a while, result being nearly 6 weeks of weeds and grass that looks a meadow to get in order, result little can.Many thanks to all ‘mentioned’ daughter no.1’s birthday on the blog. She will enjoy reading them:-)

:-) very good Big J
Now that Beanie, it wasn’t the design, it was the fact it fitted :-)
PFAyr, congrats to you and Mrs PFAyr – I think :-)
Hail Hail, better head into my work and see what sort of mood the workforce is in
When we’re all talking about FIFA corruption, let’s not forget the SFA SECRET 5 way agreement ……THE TIME HAS COME FOR PUBLICATION or legal challenges need to be initiated if we are to have justice and freedom of information…….THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET…..
Off 2 the dam. Can’t stop laughing after last night. Giggles are the order of the day a reckon.
MT
Good luck to you and your lad today
FAC.

Hope you all watched Panarama last night…..I’ve just recorded it on Sky catch-up
Dont underestimate Sevco,strange things could happen on Sunday,at Murderwell,so lets not get carried away,that thems are still in the same league next season.
Didn’t watch the game last night (I never watch that lot)
But still having a giggle today. However, Dazza’s goal means they are just a couple of dodgy penalties and a sending off away from getting back into the tie
timbhoy2
I really don’t want them back and hope the don’t do it but it won’t stop me laughing at them today
