BBC today revealed that the SFA’s legal team are examining responses from the Associations 93 clubs to a letter dated 9 March, which reminded clubs of their responsibility to record financial records with the SFA and asking them to declare they have complied over the last 10 years.
The inquiry was established after reports that Rangers had illegally registered players for over a decade, excluding payments which were not taxed. We can presume that as the legal team are investigating, there was at least one response which returned a noncompliance.
The SFA issued a deadline for responses of 6 April and under Article 86.1 any club not responding in a timely manner would be in breach, so it’s unclear why it has taken over two months to get to this stage, so why the legal team are only “examining responses”.
We look forward to hearing an early comment on this crucial matter from the executive. It is enormously unfortunate that the SFA were unable to inform their AGM of the findings on Wednesday. BBC report that the Association legal team have yet to report to the Compliance Officer, which is the next step.

Falling about wetting myself now after reading the sun.
Green confirms he had no idea who Cooper and McNeil were. It was two ladies who came into ibrox and suggested it and he just went with along with it.
This rocket is turning out to be even more of a hero than Craigy Bhoy.

I regret buying the DR for years but I suppose the lies, agendas amd blatant anti-Celtic hyperbole were not nearly as bad pre-Jackson and Traynor. The modern Scottish MSM see fit to discriminate against the very club that put Scottish Football on the world map in 67. At the same time they promote a positive status for a club that has done nothing but tarnish the country’s reputation in every way.
The very fact they get away with it actually says more about this socially backward nation.

Putting it Bluntly, T’is A Grand Day in Chilterns…
Here’s my guess…
It was Rev Green, with the Dagger in the back, in the Boardroom.
Petec,
From last week you were spot on, Herod’s Temple was a re-building of the Second Temple whose period continued until it was destroyed by the Romans in the sixties.
Also read the Chapter according to John – Indeed.
re the DR
I was having a laugh with they young Bhoy the other day telling him how I used to trawl the newsagents in whatever holiday resort I was in looking for a DR as I was so desperate for Celtic news, any Celtic news. The feeling of excitement and anticipation as you read the back page, of a two day old paper, hoping for a summer transfer spree and then the disappointment when they were linked with some, scarily good centre forward.
I wouldn’t cross the road now to buy one.
Good morning from a dark,wet Free Derry.
A warm welcome to all taking part in the Reamonn Gormley Tournament which starts at noon in Creggan.To Vmhan,Moonbeams,The Green Brigade,my good friends from Clydebank and all who are here I hope you have a great weekend.
Hail,Hail.
Bad result last night for Izzy and his Honduran teammates as they lost 2-0 at home to Panama in their first WC qualifier
up_over_goal,
No, they don’t. If they and the SFA were to agree that they had a matter that they couldn’t resolve they could jointly agree to refer it to the CAS for arbitration. But if the SFA was to say that the Appeals Tribunal’s decision is final (as it says in the rules that the huns are signed up to) then that is the end of the matter.

Apologies if covered, Worked til very late last night and don’t know if the Record/Traynor story on their site is yesterday’s.
Rangers are close to breaking even !

It’s not that Traynor is telling porkies.
He’s just missing a comma.
It should be:

I was the same many years ago when living in London . Taking a detour on the tube on my way to work. A quick stop at Euston rush up to the news-stand to get my daily record fix. Sometimes they were sold out but I knew all the places in London that sold it so I would find one somewhere . I think it was a good lively tabloid paper then . That was along time ago. I cant stomach it now.
Traynors ridiculous column is always good for a laugh,
might be stretching it to describe him as light entertainment right enough.
Che @ 10:24,
Mr Traynor is doing for R@ngers

Herr Goebbels did for Greater Germany
Hail! Hail!
The Stephen Thompson interview is worth careful consideration. He is clear that a straight no punishment newco entry is unlikely. But, he talks strongly about a ‘negotiation’, ‘finance’ the ‘TV deal’ ‘supporters no to newco’ and a ‘balance’.
I’d say he is pretty clear that he WILL vote for a newco to protect the tv deal but with ‘sanctions’ that he hopes would appease the fans. What is commonly called a compromise or…… fudge.
The danger is that Thompson’s idea of a fair settlement will be vastly different from mine.

my brother when he lived in Englad used to drive to a service station to get one; thank God for CQN.
I have not read the Traynor article. For those of you have……. is that not his purpose? To get you to read it. Is that not why it is ridiculous, because if it wasn’t you wouldn’t bite? Not only are you reading this pap you are also discussing it.
Why not just stop?

There is no fair settlement which involves parachuting a new club into the SPL, ignoring the league structure and the right of the SFL clubs …no Rangers means a space open and three teams moving up a league…no other option is acceptable
I see that the tabloids in UK report about Russian and English speaking fans beaten In Lodz In Poland.
Lodz police spokesman told Polish press: “I’m very surprised on the reports and cannot give any confirmation about the fights that happened near or in that pub. It’s true that at 16:05 we got a phone call from an unidentified woman who told that she was near the pub and saw hooligans preparing for the fight. She could not give any more details on the situation.
Our troops and the ambulance were there ten minutes from the telephone call but we did not see any people there, could not find the signs of the fight. The owner of the pub (woman) did not report any troubles to us.”
English and Russian fans in Lodz? Strange. UK tabloids report about details, while the police say they were there and have seen nothing.
What happened.
Warsaw
Four Russian hooligans arrested in Warsaw for beating two Turks in the centre of Warsaw. Those beaten two Turks are the owners of Kebab kiosk.
Wroclaw
Polish Police intervened in the centre of the city when couple of Polish fans attacked stewards near the gates to the Fan Zone. Stewards decided to close the gates when the crowd inside the Fan Zone was too big. Stewards decision was due to the security reasons. Two Polish fans arrested.
Wroclaw
The group of the Russian hooligans have beaten stewards at the stadium during the games Russia : Czech Republic. One of the stewards taken to the hospital.
bamboo @ 10:33,
My friends dad is an old school Tim, retired
He lives in a Village in the Chilterns
He gets up at dawn and rushes down to the newsagent to ensure he gets his DR, sometimes he gets the last one or is dissappointed.
Apparently recently he can have his breakfast and saunter doon – he reckons the Gers have gone aff buying it.
Wonder why?
Magnificentseven
I agree in principle and that will always be my first choice, but we don’t get to the voting table. The money men still want the money and want them in.
Can you trust the SFA to challenge any of it? Ogilvie? Regan?
Remember this is a sting and I’m still convinced we’re the ‘mark’.
Not long now to find out what people have bought for next season.
HH
Sorry
Four stewards from Wroclaw stadium taken to the hospital.
Clip is scarry. Russian hooligans beat one of the staward, turn to the left and shout :Russians, Russians.
Zbyszek
sorry to hear about that and I hope that is the end of it with the authorities taking steps to prevent violence. It was always a fear this would happen.
On the pitch though a good start to the tournament,despite your result:(

That is such a massive story, the West is engineering the Syrian angle big time and for me it has MI6 hallmarks all over it.
I would ask everyone to Pray for Alex as only the Lord can keep him safe because he is in a place now where he can be easily “dealt with” .
Well if Rangers*(IA) aren’t going to follow SFA’s rules, the least the SFA could do is follow their own
So the grand old dupe of York
Is out doing his business in public again ,his popularity must be on the wain .
CG seems to be a man of contradictions .
It now seems that the man who would take any one’s money now seems to be a man who will only take some peepils money (don’t worry ragers fans he certainly wants yours ).
Also am I correct in saying that the grand newco (stop laughing at the back )plan
would mean the loss of the ragers infamy ,sorry ,history ,maybe only if D King says it though eh.
IMO this guy was well advised to do his business on the QT as there were not enough medals to go round at Media House for actions above and beyond the call of duty .
He could have had enough money to have bought the whole of the SPL ,you may regret knocking that money back Charlie as buying a league for your Zombie FC to play in may be the only way forward .

An ominous comment for our Govan neighbours from Charlie bhoy in today’s Herald…”There is nothing anyone can say to change the fact my consortium will acquire the business next Thursday.”
——-
Now if I had the misfortune to be a hvn I think I’d be bricking myself and certainly NOT buying an ST but then again I would never be a stupid, stupid hvn.
Russian hooligans are among the worst.
When Spartak Moscow played Zilina in the CL a few years ago and they started allsorts that day.
It is certainly nothing to do with where the games are taking place and everything to do with the hooligans themselves.
Christian H @CopenhagenCelt
Celtic are also interested in Swedish defender Mattias Bjarsmyr, who is in dispute with Greek club Panathinaikos over unpaid wages. (Herald)
They are imploding, after being quite quiet over past week or so I just get a feeling things are beginning to hot up again, I will not tire of this.

My apologies if I’m interpreting your post incorrectly, but are you suggesting that MI6 engineered this incident because of Alex Thomson’s reporting of the Rangers FC crisis?
Huns CVA will go through on Thursday,HMRC will roll over.Get used to it bhoys it will save you a lot of pain

Got any proof or facts to back that statement up??
I have been amazed for some time by Rangers ability to defy financial gravity, but I think I’ve worked out the how.
There is obviously a financial black hole hovering unseen over Ibrox. Unlike a normal black hole it sucks in money. It sucked in Dave Kings money, Joe Lewis money, tax payers money, Ticketus money, bank depositors money, small businesses’ money and now, when those sources are spent it is reaching out for investors money.
Any “investor” putting a penny into the black hole deserves to remain attached to it.
Magnificentseven,
Fairness is not a word in their vocabulary and the clubs in the SFL are irrelevant-in the Hun eyes.If they get enough votes they will be in.
