eff Queens Park, they should be made to play at Lesser Hampden. Having them play at Hampden is an embarrassment to the game. |

Excuse my ignorance but QP own Hampden? They get paid 100k's by the SFA in rent? Why are they shampoo if they have money like that coming in? |

They are an "amateur" team, or I believe that was/is there status unless anyone knows if that's changed? |

To be fair to them, they have a cracking youth set up and do a lot of community work. Still shouldn't be using Hampden though, even think they were playing on it at the weekend just passed there in a SC tie. The week before a big cup final at the tail end of November with all the shampooey weather. It's no wonder the pitch is always a banger. |

Still amateur. They wear it as a badge of honour to be honest. Apparently they do a lot of community work that goes further than quite a few of the other clubs at their level. However a fair amount of money they put into that surely must come from their lease income from the SFA. As I mentioned on the 'where should I put this thread', they own Hampden without having anything like the werewithal to even maintain it as a going concern. Never mind actually make substantial improvement to it. So effectively the lease states that the SFA run it for them as a business through Hampden Park Ltd. It's a uniquely Scottish thing and appears totally anachronistic. Doesn't appear to give the SFA the clout to make any changes to Hampden so doesn't appear to be an arrangement that is in any way suitable to the modern game, when you consider what would be required to bring Hampden up to scratch. Still no doubt that the SFA will renew the lease on Hampden though, however much the terms may have changed. |

Unless the rumour about a certain club needing a place to play in the medium to near future is correct... |

I've thought for a while that the noise about the possibility of leaving hampden is just the sfa going through the motions before taking the path of least resistance and opting to remain. It's an awful stadium and we shouldn't be in the current situation - we should have a decent national stadium in public or sfa ownership or none at all, which is probably the better option if it allows the benefits of hosting finals and internationals to be spread around the country and around clubs. I am against the use of Murrayfield as revenue should be retained within football not cross subsidising rugby. As an aside I'd be interested to know who owns queens park as someone further down the chain has been making a mint from this over years. |

I understand your point of view and it is enlightening that you can accept that times have moved on. Hopefully we will get a fully accountable police force and I am sure that it is going that way. Previously, when would you have seen the female police office in the report actually being demoted or sanctioned at all? It is slow but it is getting there. Also no one knows what the appeal will find. |

A competent football association. Might be waiting a while for that one though. |

If the SFA don't renew the lease how long will it take before Queen's Park need to shut Hampden down because they can't maintain it? They take pride in being an amateur club but recognise the need for someone to run the stadium for them to make money on a professional basis. How would they do this as an amateur club without the existing SFA input? They announced recently that the new scoreboards at the stadium cost so much to run proportionate to their matchday income that they don't even switch them on. That appears to sum the whole thing up. They've got this ludicrously excessive stadium that is about as far beyond their needs as you can think but somehow it's "tradition" that they play their games at Hampden, when they can't even half fill Lesser Hampden. Like a lot of Scottish footballing tradition, it's from a different century altogether. |

I think the point is she has the cheek to appeal, she is a public servant in a fairly senior position and there is no excuse for her actions. She should be grateful she still has a job. COPFS has charged plenty of young football supporters for less under the OBFA, and subsequently put them and their families through prolonged periods of grief. I doubt very much this was the first time she spouted her views, only this time she was caught. |

Its allowed y'see.The force has long been a repository of Freemasonry and 'rangers minded' people. It is fading hopefully but this incident ipiled on top of another recent one where a woman complaining about Orangemen dressed up as Nazis at a lodge party was told to focus on Neil Lennon instead. Why Neil Lennon FFS? couldn't he have just told the woman she was a Pope worshipping Tarrier and be done with it? You simply don,t hear of policemen calling people proddy B's or telling them to eff off back to Ibrox or somethng like that, instant dismissal would be in order, the chief constable would be apologising to Sevco and everyone else, promising a burning at the stake with any repitition of such foul mouthed insults. I see the 'whistleblowerin this one has also been 'sanctioned. Got to have moral equivalence in these things y'know......she won't last long. |
