welshbairn Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 How do the SFA select these committees? Naturally they consult the Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for guidance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismcarab Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Alex Thomo is definitely putting in the work. Bet every time he phones UEFA to ask about Rangers, he finishes every call in the same whispered voice.... 'remember Manchester' So any Rangers fans who think UEFA are against them. Guess what? You're bang on the money. That's human nature. You lot ruined one of their showpiece nights a few years back. I doubt UEFA were impressed with the TV revenue you lot can generate that night......at least when we lost a final, we stood and applauded both teams off the park and UEFA bought us a stand for it. Doesn't matter who are you, from the secretary to the top of the tree, you remember that night in Manchester and you remember Rangers. And as such, the SFA cannot be seen to be any more lenient in UEFA's eyes or risk the consequences. I think the appeal panel members will be made fully aware of that. Also with the document out in the open, it drops Sally right in it. A full and grovelling apology is required or possibly even the truthful explanation of his actions would be required to reinstate any sympathy I had towards McCoist. From the top to the bottom, Chairmen, Manager, Fans. With very few exceptions......good riddance. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invalid Probe Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 In England the FA usually appoint 2 of the panel one a judge the other on their behalf and the 'defendant' gets to choose the other. That's ridiculous, that instantly biases the panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTaxMan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The wage bill is about to go up - wonder if the ones out on loan are entitled to full salary as soon as they return? Surely Haudit & Daudit wouldn't have had talks with them about reducing wages. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/rangers/2012/05/11/rangers-flop-juanma-ortiz-hints-at-ibrox-return-as-he-nears-end-of-almeria-loan-86908-23855290/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 A genuine question about this appeal. Does the decision of the panel, whatever it is, have to be unanimous or by majority to be binding? Ive got the vapours regarding Cowan!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 How do the SFA select these committees? I believe they have a list of somewhere in the region of 100 potential members, and they draw them completely at random from that list. I'm sure HibeeJibee said something along those lines. Certainly not handpicked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Well Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 So the highlights of the report include:<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">"the Tribunal considered whether it should terminate Rangers FC membership of the Scottish FA and concluded that punishment was too severe."<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">So, they did in fact go for what could be seen as a lenient punishment, despite all of McCoist's whinging. Which leads us nicely to:<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">"The identities of the members of the (original) Tribunal were disclosed to the parties in advance of the Tribunal.

Nothing like a bit of incitement.<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">Then we get 'Panel felt offences were so serious that "only match fixing might be a more serious breach."'<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif, Georgia, Courier, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">Some pretty damning language being used. Obviously it's a different panel, and it appears from the reaction of Thistle fans that Cowan'll be sympathetic, but in light of all that are they really going to overturn every punishment? Increase it for a frivolous appeal, go on. That looks pretty simple then.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Is this the fabled dossier? Feels like the Da Vinci Code. Also, a 100 page slaughter of this vile club BEFORE the BTC and SPL investigation into double contracts.

Huistrinho Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) To be honest, after reading that I can't see the grounds upon which the appeal is based. Pretty damming stuff. Ally should have kept schtum as it's pretty clear he knew fine well who was on the panel (or was in spitting distance with someone who did).
