I don't care one jot whether or not their is an appetite for it or not, rules were broken (on so many levels) en masse and should be punished according to their own rule book.

Yep, unlike the Kelly regime, the bunnett wasn't afraid to take on those cheating carrots at the SFA :nono: The wee man should have a statue for what he did for our club :thumbsup:
Very unfair to Bob Kelly. He faced down the bigoted bastards over the flag issue in 1952, when they tried to push us out of Scottish football unless we capitulated. Having won that battle, he waited a few years and then nailed Sir George Graham on a ticket scam in much the way that Fergus nailed Farry. Exclude Bob Kelly, who had his faults admittedly, from the calumny deservedly heaped on the Kelly trough snouts who followed him.
Good shout Torq. too often we tar all previous Celtic governance as incompetent.

I've said it elsewhere on this forum, even if we can step aside from the cheating issue, the real stinker here is one of governance.

Reagan yesterday made the frankly absurd statement that EBT Ogilvie "excused himself" when these matters were discussed. Really, Stu? So, to be clear, you have Messrs Ogilvie and Dickson, both of them neck deep in this, both strangely forgetful in the witness box, and the best you can come up with is "we didn't speak about it in front of honest Campbell". I'd have thought you'd have both gentlemen in a room for a solid grilling followed by a resignation statement. For all else we are asked to stomach, the continued presence of EBT recipients, both in the SFA and as media commentators (and bizarrely people who are never asked about their EBTs), really is a further kick in the stones.

The SFA has regulary and consistently bent the narrative, I am sure inspired by the notion that the ba' is burst in Scottish football unless Rangers are there. In that attitude, that "too big to fail" nonsense that pollutes the business world, you essentially give the opportunistic every chance to extract the urine. I don't even need to go back raking over the coals of the SFA's shabby history that includes tolerating sectarian signing policies, trying to ban the Irish Flag, ridiculous non selection of players like Jinky, the Cadete affair, Jim Farry etc. In the last 5 years, the SFA, cos its ra Gers, have passed solid gold individuals like Whyte, Green and King as fit and proper. Even better, the likes of King, Johnson and Potless Murray had ringside seats when Minty was essentially running/ruining Scottish football. The idea that "lessons have been learned" is frankly ridiculous. No matter what the Govan club does, no matter how many confrontational and bile filled statements are made by Club 1690, guys like Reagan are hard wired into the notion that no Rangers equates to some form of social and economic calamity on the game.

The acid test of how much has changed is what happens when Sevco falls over. I think we all know how that movie will play out.
I might be wrong on this, and of course, I can be.

But I understand he exited from the final signing of the 5WA leaving his hands off that.

Others, wire in, please, if I'm wrong as looking for confirmation.

Are we supposed to believe that he at no point discussed it informally with other SFA officers? Patently absurd.

It's hard to have any enthusiasm for the Scottish national team when it's ran by this shower of winkers.

It was forever thus. The only thing missing from the SFA offices is a lodge number above the door

East Stirling kicked out of Scottish Cup over ineligible player (2011)

Dunfermline kicked out of Scottish Cup for 'breaches of competition rules' (two ineligible players - 2010)

Spartans thrown out of Scottish Cup over ineligible player mistake (2011)

Albion Rovers thrown out of cup for ineligible player (2017)

Brechin booted out of Scottish Cup (two ineligible players, 2008)


Did the SFA require emails or phone calls from any members clubs, never mind the majority of them, before they felt obliged to act in any of the above cases?

They haven't done their job, so they are obliged to answer our concerns, as their failure affects us.

If that means having to do uncomfortable interviews (Don Vincenzo Coccotti would have had a field day) then that's tough luck.

We beat them over the great flag flutter, the Jorge Cadete incident, the Dougiegate scandal and we'll beat them over this. They're in the wrong and they know it.

This might sound like I'm asking the same question twice, but if the SFA etc. just keep refusing to look into this, is there a way of going over their heads? My last post on this asked what outcome people expect, and I expect it to be brushed under the carpet if the SFA can get away with doing so. Is there a way of pushing this into the Court of Arbitration for Sport or something similar? :pray:
Thats what I want to know.

CAS wont be tainted with huns sitting in judgement

I cannot find the bits in the SFA rule book where punishment for breaking rules is only administered if "there is an appetite for it" .

They may as well asterisk the rulebook with 'None of the above applies in the case of any manifestation of Rangers'.

It's effectively what is happening.

Yup. It becomes confusing when enforcement of the rules is characterized as dependent on "appetite". Regan's "one club" comment should only re-enforce Celtic's determination to make sure this whole sorry episode is thoroughly exposed; raked over until the last sordid scrap of corruption is exposed to the clearest of sunlight.
