If you want to claim that it can realistically happen for anything else, then we're departing from the idea of looking at precedent. I wasn't making a claim, I was responding to an incorrect post from Bennett where he claimed that it was against the rules. It very clearly is not.

The DA Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 7 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: I think the point is though, that while a range of sanctions, including withdrawing the award of titles, was available, the facility to find players ineligible retrospectively, wasn't. That's what LNS used as a means of deeming the players eligible, thereby allowing him to not impose a direct football sanction. It still sounds ridiculous, but I think it's what Bennett refers to in saying the rules didn't permit it. The sanction was allowed, but finding Rangers guilty of the relevant offence, didn't seem to be. Thoroughly unjust of course, but technically, Bennett was right. I don't say that lightly. The bit in bold is the bit I haven't been able to get my head round in all these years. How else could a player be found ineligible other than 'retrospectively'? It's not as if an SFA official is approving each team sheet before the match kicks off. And, as far as I'm aware, the rules don't have a statute of limitations. If there are rules about ineligibility in the rulebook, there must be an assumption that they'll have to be looked at retrospectively. Otherwise, why are they in the rulebook?

The chairmen of the SPL clubs listened to the fans when they voted not to transfer our SPL share from oldco to newco and that worked so well that they then folded the SFL in to their moribund league in order to gain financially from our media rights. Then we had the fiasco of 'Sell Out Saturday' - the one where the fans promised to show their commitment by, well, selling out their grounds. That worked well, too. Imagine thinking football chairmen will listen to a clump of bitter, angry social inadequates who, through a series of unfortunate life events, aren't blessed enough to be one of the people and whose past blusterings have proven to be either detrimental or empty.

bennett Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 An interesting snippet on the players registrations, basically the rules left LNS no other choice in regards to not stripping titles. *On the eligibility of players: The SPL alleges “such that Rangers FC was in breach of a condition of the registration of such players and such players were ineligible to play in official matches for Rangers FC” (p26) Sandy Bryson, Head of Registrations at the Scottish FA, gives evidence that registrations remain unless revoked and are not automatically invalid due to rule breaches. The SPL explain a different take on registration. "[SPL lawyer] Mr McKenzie explained to us that SPL Rule D1.13 had hitherto been understood to mean that if, at the time of registration, a document was not lodged as required, the consequence was that a condition of registration was broken and the player automatically became ineligible to play in terms of SPL Rule D1.11." (p26) Mr McKenzie then accepts that the rules could not allow a player to be automatically ineligible. "'He accepted that no provision of the Rules enabled the Board of the SPL retrospectively to terminate the registration of the player." (p26) The tribunal states that the Scottish FA approach to the rules is clear and the SPL should apply their rules in the same manner. "We are satisfied that the registration of the Specified Players with the SPL was valid from the outset, and accordingly that they were eligible to play in official matches." (p27) "This is an important finding, as it means that there was no instance shown of Rangers FC fielding an ineligible player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
