First Clarke and now them. There are questions to be answered and hopefully clubs and individuals are brave enough to ask them.

Spot on. Hope the rest of us do the same.

Rangers statement in 3, 2, 1...
We really deserve better than the SFA.
As long as we have Petrie at Hibs, we will say nothing controversial nor will we criticise the SFA. It is quite sad really as everyone can see that the SFA is rotten to the core and it is them that are dragging the game down to its knees. If they had any respect for Scottish Football they would all resign and let forward thinkers govern our game. They are like pigs at a trough.
Good statement. Good for them for stating their intention to do something about it.
I'm not utterly convinced that the Aberdeen guy's challenge wasn't a red card. He cynically hauls the man down when he's through on goal. Sure there was a little shirt tug ahead of that but the issues for the panel are interpretation - what constitutes an 'obvious refereeing error' and an 'obvious goal scoring opportunity'.
Aberdeen's defence was pretty rubbish really. 'Yeah, but, he pulled our guy's shirt first' and 'our full back was running towards the attacker'.
Fair enough, we've seen some howling decisions this year - the Morelos incident in particular, but I'm not convinced the Devlin incident is one of them.
He didnt though did he, he got banned from screaming in the refs face at Killie, while I totally understand his reaction and didnt understand Clancy not even trying to speak to him before sending him to the stand (no doubt on the word of 4th official) I think you are always going to get in trouble for that. He had a suspended element to that though and his plane impression while very funny was always going to trigger that also.
Whilst the incident was the catalyst for their statement I think it's a bit irrelevant to the wider point they make regarding the lack of transparency when it comes to hearing appeals and handing out bans.
Disciplinary procedures in sport should be totally transparent to avoid accusations of corruption. As long as players and managers fates are decided by 3 people in a room with little or no explanation given for the reasoning behind a decision then there will always be an element of suspicion, especially when the decisions are baffling in their inconsistency.
Correct, he had a 2 match suspended ban, and the airplane was deemed to be "entering the field of play" (hard to argue, tbh:greengrin) which gave him a one match ban and hence triggered the 2 suspended.
NL did talk to the media afterward, said he thought it was a bit harsh and that no common sense was used - but that rules (re entering the field of play) were rules - He also said it was worth it and he would do it again :thumbsup:
While ostensibly it’s a statement regarding one particular incident, we can all see the inferences run a lot deeper but until the clubs (who, after all, we are told, are the SFA) do something to rectify the ridiculous voting system used to affect change and progress, then it’s all just, sadly, hot air.
The Aberdeen FC statement.............
