It's really simple. Hibs are saying we should not have a review because it can't change anything, let's move on. We're saying: we want to know how it all happened.

I'd rather every club wanted to know the same, but don't mind the if we end up with just us and two 2nd division clubs taking it forward, or just us. It's the right thing to do.

Wagons have been circled with all the main players seemingly fairly confident in their own self-preservation.

It is a stinking corrupt mess perpetrated to the benefit & advantage of one particular club over all others at all costs. Even with the vermin being liquidated we are fed a daily diet of pish and expected to believe the myth that they are the same club with the same history.

Never, in the history of sport will you see corruption so blatant.

We are on our own with this, the cowards running the rest of the clubs are either conflicted or solely focused on their own interests. They do not give a flying feck about the views of their own supporters regarding the corruption.

It was always inevitable that this would come down to us versus the rest of them. It is the way it has always been in Scottish football. The leading lights of the MSM will continue to push the hun agenda in respect of the story. They have no appetite for the truth, never have had.

Sadly the vocal support and wisdom from the likes of a Turnbull Hutton or a Paul McBride is not available.

It now boils down to how much our board want to push it - I'm not overly confident given their previous.

Stepping away from the exercise in pedantry that I've started (sorry!), what do people genuinely expect to be the outcome from all of this?

I have to admit that if you had told me a decade ago that the huns would go bust and end up (as a new club etc. etc.) in the bottom tier I'd have thought that you were totally mental. I kinda feel the same way here, that to expect their players to be found to have been incorrectly registered and all results to go Legia-style and be forfeited would be too good to be true.
I expect Regan to resign and an acceptance from his successor that a review will be held into Scottish football governance that is sufficiently independent from the body it is investigating, to allow it to be able to come to its own impartial, evidence-based conclusions.

Before delivering recommendations that a newly appointed SFA management team are swift to put into place in an open and transparent manner that can be scrutinised by stakeholders of the game at all levels.
I've got a bet with Mr D that Regan will be gone before the week's over.

The problem for Regan is; this will follow him, he'll be forever associated with the corruption and his
part in it, and he knows it.

Hope it was worth it Stewy, you useless arsehole. :angry:

I feel that it only takes another statement from Celtic confirming our resolve and the cricket admin geezer will be offski.

You can't blame the board. It is now abundantly clear the line they have been skating in not allowing this to turn into a Celtic v Rangers issue. The SFA threatened Celtic with it then called our bluff. But that was their final play. They have nothing left. They have shown their hand. It's now a case of exploring the practicalities of where we go from here. This is just the opening salvo.

How many cosy cigar and port dinners have the likes of Petrie engaged in with the SFA. They are a boys club which does not represent ordinary supporters. The fans forced them to abandon plans to shoehorn Rangers back into the SPL and it will be the fans who drive this issue too regardless of what Rod Petrie, Ann Budge or anyone else says.

:thumbsup: Agree with you, Murphio

I suspect Lawwell has only been stretching his hamstrings. Long game ahead.

We've waited this long. Patience still required.

Petrie is a walking, talking advert for everything that's wrong with the SFA. He'd rather take a dump on his own fans than see his blazer wearing buddies get exposed for the corrupt cretins that they are. Hopefully Hibs fans stand up and get rid of the parasite.

The problem is how many other clubs reps are attendant, taken to one side and told 'Now listen old boy, this wouldent be good for the overall game, now it's impossible just a small club, and we can't have your supporters causing a fuss can we mr Petrie'

No club has ever backed us when it really matters, so what's new.

I think we are all confident that PL and the board know what they are doing and lets support their actions.

The green pound is equally as powerful as the blue pound.
The green pound is now far, far more powerful
They'll be getting no green pounds from the Diva family.

Mr D, his pals, and our bhoy are boycotting away games as they refuse to give any
money to the rest of the SPFL who want to " move on."

I agree, I think we are on our own with this.

Stewart Milne, Aberdeen, has already said eh sees no point it going over it again.
Anne Budge, Hearts, took up her new job on the SPFL board (?) and has not uttered a word.
Rod Petrie, Hibs, has wined and dined at the top table with Campbell Ogilvie and Andrew Dickson and has no said anything.
The likes of Motherwell and Kilmarnock will remain quiet, so it looks like we are fighting the good fight ourselves.

Maybe, as time goes on and we progress and start to get somewhere will some of the other clubs see the benefit of being in with Celtic on this and through their (much too late) support behind us.

We have issued a statement, the SPFL say there is no interest in raking over old coals and is waiting for us to go away.
We have waited five years for answers and will not give up now.

Keep The Faith.

Just caught Regan on the news. Blinking, lying, conniving arsewipe.

"high degree of independent scrutiny" - by whom?
"if there's an incident you review... what are you reviewing" - side contracts??
(with regards) "the 5-way agreement, if other 4 parties agree, we have no issues with revealing correspondence" - another threat, explains Hibs' hurried statement?
"we've taken this as far as we can take it" - no, you haven't

They're in full-on, preserve the status quo mode, I hope we bury the carrots once and for all. Ned Rise nailed it earlier.

The club should come out and state from this moment on we will take no tickets for domestic away games, participate in no publicity for domestic competitions and their sponsors, cancel the loan of all our players at scottish clubs and pull our players from the next Scotland squad

What do you mean "their previous?

Haven't the last few days revealed to you that the board were biding their time and waiting for the HMRC case to be finally concluded as well as the Craig Whyte fraud trial to be completed BEFORE they made their move.

The letters that have been published show they were lining up a case against the SFA from as early as 2012.

The default position for so many Celtic fans is just to be anti-board regardless of the facts.

I don't blame them Murph, I was delighted to see them come out and meet Regans shampoo head on. I find it disgusting that we are having to go this alone.

Your faith in their (our boards) stomach for the battle though is clearly stronger than mine. I would love to be wrong.
