The document from Uefa to the Resolution 12 team, which emerged online over the weekend, is genuine. The headline part of this correspondence was always going to be Uefa confirming that whatever errors or omissions on the part of Old Rangers and the SFA’s Uefa vetting process, no further action was possible as New Rangers are a “new club/new company”.
Priceless, I know, but a delightful wee surprise, though it was, the status of Newco Rangers wasn’t the purpose of Resolution 12. Res 12 was about SFA process and accountability.
There was a great deal of correspondence with media figures since the letter was produced. It’s probably worthwhile noting the chronology of correspondence:
Uefa wrote to the Res 12 team on 6 June, copying the SFA and Celtic. After this date Grant Russell at STV asked Uefa for an update and received pretty much the same information that was sent to the Res 12 guys, without the supporting “new club/new company” line.
You may be of the view that after receiving the 6 June letter, the SFA could have asked Uefa not to offer such information in future (the layers of this story are endless). We’ll never know, but the horse had already bolted.
As correspondence on Res 12 continues, the team decided not to attempt private conversations with Uefa while making correspondence public, which is why this leak didn’t come from the Res 12 team. But I’m glad it’s out. It’s the definitive and irrefutable reference point on the status of Newco Rangers, and it’s on Uefa headed notepaper.
I don’t expect I’ll be goaded about Res 12 online as often going forward.
While we’re on the subject of the SFA: Craig Thomson, take a look at yourself. You know this is not good enough. Your decision-making this season has been atrocious. James Forrest booking, for staying several yards away from the crowd after scoring a goal, was ludicrous, capping a multitude of errors this month.
If only people at the SFA were accountable. Which brings us back to the point above.
Getting nervous about tomorrow. So much on the line……

Good post .
Hh
Listen i’d pay double for my season ticket to sign Roberts.
I’ve never heard Craig Thomson speak, however such is my contempt for the man I imagine he speaks like a West of Scotland Craig Levein.
There, I said it…
Ooooo kayyyyy try this one.

You remind me that a couple of years ago I was asked to contribute a chapter to an Edinburgh Uni publication. Football, Bigotry and Scotland. The chapter is called Sectarianism Sells – Or Does It?
Aw Naw did NOT ghost write it. :)

Hey! Behave yourself, it’s been said by some on here that PL lurks in here :))
Smile you’re on Candid Camera
Weeron your post at 3.26 is right on the money. Something like that should have happened.
I am afraid your logic will be lost in the euphoria generated in the twitter world. The fund raising looks like an add on after the event, sadly.
What has happened since the flag waving does not alter what it was………A decision by the tail to wag the dog.

Great,many thanks for the requsitioners efforts again.
AWE_NAW_?..
You have never been one to mince your words! Don’t you see a massive difference on the way we play and are managed now?
Is it not significantly better than last season….the boat was pushed out to sign BR and if we qualify on Tuesday there will be another signing, of that I’m sure.
So stick your pish statement up your arse.
“Listen i’d pay double for my season ticket to sign Roberts.”
Ttr,
Ooooh. Someone’s doing well ;)

Sorry about the language in my last post.
Auldheid,
Do you think ‘it sells’?
It seems to be the quickest, easiest, laziest way in Scotland?
The irony for me is that with same club obsession at Ibrox they are tarnishing themselves with the failed, corrupt and bigoted doctrines of the past.
Anything that will ever achieve will be viewed as being linked to the toxicity of the past and in essence tarnished.
Liquidation could have given them the opportunity of a clean slate without the moral bankruptcy of the past, imo.
That was rejected, for a number of reasons and the ramifications of that decision will haunt them and those who allowed it to happen.
The tragedy is the Scottish game, the players and the paying spectator/viewer appear to be the victims.

I called it on the Thursday that they would sugar coat it with a charity drive to make them look like good guys, and true to form as they have previous on it, I was bang on, it was a set up, and I don’t care what anyone sais, it was a stitch up, and I called it, and from what I’m hearing more than the GB where involved in it, but they’r taking the Derry for it.

The hootsman carrying a ‘Xavi to Celtic ‘ story
===================================
Another ‘Inception’-like transcribing of my dreams to newsprint. I wish they’d find their own stories…
Big shout out to Craig Thompson, looking in – ya pathetic, servile, forelock-tugging, spineless, goat-pumping, cheating Hun fanny.
What Jon Carlos should have done, instead of raising his gloved fist in the air, was maybe write a sternly-worded letter to the authorities, expressing his dissatisfaction with the treatment of black people in the USA. Rosa Parks should of course just have walked, rather than cause a stooshie on a bus. CQN – protests, but not as we know them, Jim. :)
And no, the standing section’s protest wasn’t iconic like theirs was, but sometimes breaking laws can have a great effect.

Could have been written by a hun, such is the bitterness.
Foxy -Cheers for the tips bud.

Agreed that these were both iconic moments but both were willing personally to take responsibility, culpability(?) and face personally any consequences which followed. Was that the case on Wednesday whatever the rights and wrongs of what transpired? HH

If you don’t understand my point ask Peter to explain it to you at your next grooming session.

Some posters have been called Huns for much less than that (winking smiley face thing)
Interesting to see the swift and popular support for the Palestine fund issue.
Regardless the arguments about it all – one thing is outstanding: UEFA’s ridiculous veto on the flag being flown in any FREE country by any FREE person.
If those imbeciles in Switzerland had any comprehension of the real world there would be no embargo in the first place and any displays would simply be noted, demonstrative footnotes of history with no attending fuss.
Streisand effect by their own ignorance.
And no, the standing section’s protest wasn’t iconic like theirs was, but sometimes breaking laws can have a great effect.
Would have a bigger affect if they pay the fine, instead of the rest of us being dragged into it.
Democratic revolutioners? My arse.
If you don’t understand my point ask Peter to explain it to you at your next grooming session.
If you had an original thought in your mind apart from your obsession of PL, it would be very lonely.

I was watching it on TV and had to keep telling my mum that Stuttgart needed another two goals. Even in injury time she was having an “Annie Rooney”…

Haha it’s funny what Celtic do to us
My favorite memory of that game was the superstitious guy I met.
He was standing there a shoe over his hand. I asked him what that was about and he told me it was his lucky shoe. He lost the other one so he ended up just carrying it to the game haha
Hope he has it in Israel
Is it just old folks who hate the Green Brigade?
Or is it just bitter folks that hate the Green Brigade?
Or… wait for it now… is just old, bitter folks that hate the Green Brigade?
Just asking.

Came 6th but just claim the bronze anyway.
Tony Donnelly – are you the guy who rarely goes to games or am I mixing you up with someone else? Either way, you’ll have nothing to pay. As for the protestors, they could lose their season tickets (although I doubt Celtic would try that).
One remarkable and unexpected spin-off from the protest is the global recognition that this has given the club. A better branding exercise than losing pre- and mid-season friendlies overseas will ever be.

Rosa Parks should of course just have walked, rather than cause a stooshie on a bus.
======
This is not intended as nit-picking nor is this directed at you.
It is just a little bit of musing.
Rosa Park’s act of defiance was preceded by a woman called Claudette Colvin several months before.
From the little I know of the matter, it seems that the civil rights campaigners preferred to use respectable Rosa rather than unmarried pregnant girlfriend of a married man.
Were they right to do so? Was it a correct tactic? Rhetorical questions.
Maybe there are others more knowledgeable who can correct me, of course.
