notabuddie Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Do we know the new BOD's stance on the SFA handling of the EBT fiasco? Or is this down to one club as Reagan states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I am pro St Mirren. I am not anti Rangers or pro Celtic. The Legal Idiot who said that the Ibrox Club gained No Sporting Advantage from the EBT debacle should be subject to an enquiry all of his own to see if he is/was sane. This is the equivalent of saying that PSG will gain no advantage by having the world's most expensive player in their side. I must admit to being a little fed up with this stuff. We all know that Sporting Advantage was gained and trophies won but let them keep them. ..they are however devalued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Nipper Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Whatever it is, it isn't good enough. Precisely. Every club bar one now seems to be de faulting to a position of let's not rock the boat anymore as a result of the SFAs lack of commitment to pursue. It's only Ra Sellics obsession with Newcp/Oldco/deadco that's keeping this rolling. There's an agenda to get trophies out of cabinets at Govan, and rightly so imo. By doing nothing the authorities simply countenance the actions of cheats, simple. Regan and the SFA have not got the balls for a fight, similarly Doncaster had no ambition to bite the hand that feeds and this is the problem. It's technically too difficult. A two horse town, Scottish football has no credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs down south used it also so i expect more court cases. Could a legal loop hole not be contested. The tax man knows of it then moves the goal posts.

Because as above the people in charge are shitebags and complicit. I'm not overly fussed, either way. I'll still sleep tonight. But to say nothing is going to happen because it was a "loophole" is nonsense. Nothing is going to happen because the people that run the game don't want anybody looking at them for their part in it. Eta ps it's a reply to a post which was also nothing to do with st mirrens stance. Nobody on here knows st mirrens stance do they?

HSS Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 The SFA are protecting their own arses and,as shull says above,the Clubs are shiting it. Hopefully the Crowd Funding action works.The Clubs may be scared to rock the boat but the Fans aren't. In an ideal World this would go all the way to UEFA who would have to act. Scottish football is finished if no action is taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS bad for the game that this happened and it;s only going to get worse once this all blows up. At the moment Celtic are "exploring every avenue," but ultimately this was got to the Court of Arbitration. It will take a long time, possible even another five years.

Once the SFA's role in Ranger's cheating is shown , the can SFA will no longer be deemed impartial or fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 And once a member of the Fans Group is identified then intimidated or attacked, then it's all over. FIFA and UEFA should have dealt with these cheating cnuts in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 The SFA have been appalling in this whole sorry mess. If it had been any other Club the actions would have been very different. They did everything they could to sweep it under the carpet and get them back into the top flight asap with as little recompense as they could. Lawell is right in that there should be a review of the SFA's role in all of this however no-one else will stick their head above the parapet due to intimidation from the moronic supporters of the deid club and I can hardly blame them. As an aside I was listening to Radio Scotland last night and Kris Boyd was going apoplectic of suggestions of Rangers being stripped of honours for cheating and did not grasp the wider need of a review into the whole affair and not just the retention of illegally gained trophies. That sums up their thinking - cheating did not happen and administration did not happen. It was all just a bad dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) To be honest, I am enjoying the fitba more than I have for many a year, so don't feel too fussed about this just now. Reviews are often frustrating, unsatisfying exercises in any event. Even if they do come up with recommendations, these are seldom implemented. I'm all for seeking improvements in how the game is administered, though, and reckon a good start would be to get shot of Regan and Doncaster in the first instance. By all means have a review after that. Edited September 12, 2017 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notabuddie Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 The reason I asked the question was to see if there the new BOD had a different stance than the old BOD.Are we keeping quiet and letting the other club challenge or are we going to say what nearly all the poster's on here think the SFA are corrupt. If this happened to us would we still be in Scottish professional football?My personal view is no and the SFA bent the rules to make sure they survived.

ged62 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Who gives a flying f*ck. Scottish football has been corrupt for years its all about the OF, if it was the other way round Rangers would be doing the same. IMO no other club cares or they are just keeping quiet about it. Who's going to gain if Rangers are stripped of any trophies, more & likely Celtic that's what I think it's all about. It's never going to be a fair playing field with money controlling the game. I'm with Drew I'm enjoying the football at my wee club just now long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doakes Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Scottish football does need to be looked at. Unsure what guys like Regan and Doncaster are being paid for these days - I think our model proves that fan ownership is the future. A fan owned league structure would be interesting! Anything that gets away from the self serving corruption would be a positive step. Can't see it happening tbf. No need for an anti Rangers witch hunt, the EBT issue has been put to bed already. There's still an argument to be made for an overall review, don't believe 2 governing bodies are needed for the size of our country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
