So why go to court when you know you have signed up to a rule (literally) that forbids you from going to court and that will almost certainly lead to your expulsion from football?
Because almost certainly being expelled from football is a better option than the alternative.
As Bob said: “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose”.
They have nothing. Nothing.

Sorry but disagree. The Dukla Prague away game was live on TV in the early afternoon. It was one of the most boring games of all time. I think Big Jock apologised for our team playing so defensively but he felt that he had to ensure that we qualified for the Final. I remember watching it on telly.
Bloke109 – good news, hope it continues for the Knox family.
Mark Daly – let’s be ‘avin’ ye!

The Originals Sadies Bhoy at 00:02, unfortunately the thoughts of Scotland
not being supported by a fiscal London City and then being governed by a ” football dictate”” from Hampden ..”. I fear for our children.
………………………………………………………..
I agree with you. Recent events where we have had the legislation pertaining to events at football matches and fans to be criminalised for being ‘offensive’ rather than sectarian which was a totally transparent device introduced by the SNP to arrest Celtic supporters to even up the numbers was a major cause for alarm. Salmond’s appeal to save RFC was another and the ‘loss’ of statistics pertaing to sectarian crime was yet another.
Despite the best efforts of the BBC, Paul, RTC, Phil and Paul McC who have presented lots of argument and evidence highlighting the misdeeds of those at RFC there is still a tremendous reluctance by anyone in power (SFA, SPL, police) or in a position to influence those in power (MSM) to take action against them.
I would not want to live in this country under an SNP government.
From BBC…
BBC Scotland has decided to publish further evidence about a suspected conflict of interest concerning the administrators of Rangers.
David Grier, a senior partner from administrators Duff and Phelps, had said he was unaware that London finance firm Ticketus funded Craig Whyte’s purchase of the club.
But the BBC has seen evidence that Mr Grier attended a dinner to celebrate the acquisition of Rangers alongside a Ticketus executive shortly after Whyte finalised the deal.
Duff and Phelps deny there has been a conflict of interest.
The BBC can also reveal that emails about an invoice arranged by Mr Grier appear to relate directly to a tranche of invoices which were submitted to Ticketus for £24.4m – which had been used to fund the purchase of the club.
A leading insolvency expert has told the BBC that if the allegations of a conflict are proved, Duff and Phelps should resign.
‘Information withheld’
The BBC has seen emails which show that a small number of people were invited to a dinner to celebrate completing the acquisition of Rangers, on 16 June 2011 at exclusive London restaurant, Langans.

This was a dinner organised by Craig Whyte and I did not know what others in attendance knew or didn’t know”
Nine people attended, including Craig Whyte, his lawyer Gary Withey, Rangers director Phil Betts, David Grier and Ross Bryan, the executive from Ticketus who oversaw the deal with Rangers.
The four other attendees were the lawyers, accountants and financial advisors who helped put the deal together.
Mr Grier has told the BBC that he was kept in the dark about the full extent of the Ticketus deal and that “material information was withheld to us”.
The BBC understands that each of the eight other people attending the Langans event that night were fully aware of the details of the financing of the purchase.
The BBC put it to Mr Grier’s PR team on Friday that it “stretched credibility” that he was the only person invited to the celebration that night who did not know about the Ticketus deal.
In a statement Mr Grier said: “I attended the function you refer to in the full knowledge that the club had an ongoing and existing relationship with Ticketus.
“This was a dinner organised by Craig Whyte and I did not know what others in attendance knew or didn’t know. As stated…the matter is now in the hands of our solicitors.”
Ticketus transaction
Mr Whyte completed the takeover of Rangers on 6 May 2011, but came under serious criticism after it was revealed he had used Ticketus to fund the purchase of the club by selling off most of the next three years’ worth of season tickets.
The Ticketus deal, if it stood, would make Rangers a much less attractive proposition to any potential buyer, since more than half of the club’s income stream for the next three years would be paid out.
Craig Whyte purchased Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1
In a BBC Scotland documentary broadcast on Wednesday – Rangers: The Men Who Sold the Jerseys – it was revealed that emails were sent to Mr Grier concerning the Ticketus transaction in April 2011 – two weeks before the deal completed.
Mr Grier has denied knowing that Ticketus were funding the purchase, and his PR team has claimed he was only aware of a much smaller arrangement of around £5m with the finance firm to fund a working capital shortfall.
The BBC has not been shown any evidence that a smaller Ticketus transaction for working capital existed.
In this email dated 24 June 2011, Mr Grier agrees to arrange an invoice for Ticketus, and backdate it until 9 May.
The BBC has evidence that three invoices were raised to Ticketus dated 9 May.
Each related to one seasons’ ticket sales for 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14. The combined total for all three was £24.4m.
The Ticketus funds had by this time already been used to pay the club’s £18m bank debt, which had been a condition of the sale.
Mr Grier has denied knowing that Ticketus money was used in the purchase, and maintains his knowledge of Ticketus only went as far as some short term working capital funding.
In a statement, Mr Grier said: “My position is clear in that I did not have information on the nature of the Ticketus proposal prior to the takeover.
“The matters that are now referred to are post transaction and we (MCR) took steps to understand and raise concerns once we had full visibility on what had taken place.
‘False allegations’
“At all times we have acted correctly and firmly on matters of financial propriety and kept HMRC appraised of all developments.
“The BBC is ignoring the fundamental point that my knowledge prior to takeover was that Craig Whyte’s legal advisers provided assurances that their client had £30m to be used for the purchase of the club and access to additional funds to invest for the future and meet potential liabilities.
“Saffery Champness conducted the financial due diligence – we did not have access to the data room or cash flow models as that was not our role.
“The false allegations made by the BBC in recent days are now in the hands of our solicitors.”

Not sure if you know mate, but a cb bhoy and an old schoolmate John Craw passed away last week at the very young age of 42. Terribly sad.
In the context of the blog, a huge Celt, from a Celtic mad family.
In the context of life, a terrible tragedy, and an incomprehensible blow or his wife and wider family.
Funeral tomorrow. Have seldom looked forward to a day less.
Emus
We had great times pal.

One of the Best footballing teams ever, amazing picture. I would hazard a guess we have had, arguably, the Greatest ever manager the World has ever seen.
Seeing Chelsea spend over a Billion to play so negatively to win the Big Cup brought a knowing smile to my face.
Paul’s first article today was one of the best things I have ever read, the achievement was almost Supernaturally inspired.
We see Chelsea and more specifically their Captain go up there to lift the trophy when he should have been embarressed to go anywhere near it because of his own “SELF” centred actions.
TheOriginalSadiesBhoy, I accept what you say…if I had known I would have taken the day off work…oh well! I suppose it’s too late now.
Rascar,
you know me to well! See you tomorrow. Night nIght all.
