Kudos to Auldyin. He has been like a dog with a bone on the UEFA license and here is the SFA forced into admitting it was a complete stitchup. Respect. This all day. And fair play to the board.

Questions on what Celtic/complaining clubs can do:
- who or what determines if a Judicial Review can take place? - is JR the 'best' method of ensuring a fair and thorough investigation, or are there other options? - would a JR or other independent investigation determine actions/punishments, and are they enforceable? - would a JR compel all parties to take part, or could SFA/anyone opt out?
The gist of what I'm asking is: can the SFA get away with carrying on ignoring this, and just brass-neck it out it out?
A JR takes place in court (Court of Session in this case). There are rules about standing (who can bring a JR) and scope (what can be JR'd): Scots law has much broader rules of standing than it used to (and Celtic would be fine either way, as would - on the best understanding of the law - a fans group, I think). Scots law also has funny rules about the scope of JR (so in England you can't JR a private body but you can in Scotland). This is presumably within scope. More problematic is that there are now quite strict time limits in Scotland for bringing a JR - depending on exactly what was being JR'd, I suspect Celtic may be out of time (unless the JR is of the decision communicated yesterday, and is brought in the next few weeks). Going back in time to 2012 or whenever will be more or less impossible. A JR would (at best) say that, by the rules governing their decision-making a party had acted unlawfully - either as a matter of not following those rules, or adopting an illegal procedure, or (in extreme cases) because the decision or act in question was irrational. JR doesn't see a judge substitute his own decision though - he gets the original decision-maker to remake the decision, this time lawfully. What that would mean in practice would depend on the reason that the decision was held to be unlawful, whether it was procedural or substantive. If you are JRing the SFA, they have no option to not take part. JR will not determine punishments directly. Been years since I went anywhere near constitutional law but from my vague memory are there not cases where the Court of Session (instead of ruling that the body complained about needs to go through the decision making process again) can actually substitute a decision itself? If I recall it would only be in extreme cases, but nonetheless possible?
Maybe the law in this context has changed since the early 1970s - I've noticed it has moved on in other areas!!

Not that I'm aware of - also, reading this back, I've effed up the standing point. The old (narrow) standing rules still apply to private JRs, and so while Celtic would be fine, a fans group probably wouldnt.

The similarities here with the Farry case are stark imo.

In my inbox this morning - a new blog by Rangers Tax Case - probably better here than in the actual hun thread Long but very informative FTT Transcript for Andrew Dickson
There was enough in there for game, set, match. The reasons he tried to give for not lodging details with the SFA are laughable. All you need to take from that document is Dickson is admitting side letters were removed from files before they were given to HMRC.
In short TAX EVASION.
This man sits on the rangers board,and is employed by the SFA.

Kudos to Auldyin. He has been like a dog with a bone on the UEFA license and here is the SFA forced into admitting it was a complete stitchup. Respect.

This all day. And fair play to the board. Indeed. A calm heid in the face of ranters like me.

Maybe being overly cynical, but if events in 2012 are time-barred from a JR, why is Celtic's letter only coming to light now? When would the time bar have kicked in?

I see johnjames has ventured that it was Darryl Broadhoof that leaked the letter.
Probably just a co-incidence that he was in the Sportsound studio on the Wednesday.

Broadfoot would have leaked the letter to a Hun hack at a Sevco cheer-leading tabloid that would have presented the article in a Sevco-sympathetic way
Not Ewing Grahame at The Times
John James is, as usual, talking bollocks
Edit to add: Broadfoot has undoubtedly been sent out to fire-fight on behalf of the SFA

Glad things are seemingly going forward but I won't be happy until titles are removed and asterisks placed in their place.

I'm sure Kenny Mac is the go-to guy to hold the hose.
