    Excellent well written thoughtful piece that clearly identifies the key issues in absence of emotional bias. It sets out the facts in a balanced manner. The governing bodies especially the SFA have many questions to answer and should engage with the calls for an independent inquiry. Great stuff.



    Ps, you look far more intelligent than I had pictured you.

    Ha-ha-ha - typical 'Daily Rectum' tactics - a headline that looks as if it's written in support of the issue but with a sub-line that reveals their real opinions -

    'Michael reckons the SFA's stance not to involve themselves in the SPFL review leaves them exposed to the conspiracy theorists'

    So, all those who just want the truth and a governing-body that's actually fit-for-purpose are labelled 'Conspiracy theorists' - the 'Rectum' would do well to remember that 'Conspiracy theorists' won their fight to see the Hun thrown out of the SPL IN 2012 when the GFA basically wanted little, if any, punishment to be dealt out to the offenders at all !

    A good post and the part I totally agree in is, we can't complain about their dominance in winning trophies as they do have a much larger support and much more revenue coming in than probably us all put together except Celtic of course, but to cheat over the top of all that gaining them an advantage on buying any player with tax free payments just stinks of pure greed and cheating in the highest order.
    Also the totally ludicrous voting system that existed when change was required, a voting system that meant as long as the bigot brothers voted the same, no changes could be made.
    They kept saying it's up to us to get to their standards which is fair enough, but how could we possibly do that. This SFA needs to be dissolved.

    They never were. They ceased to be and another entity replaced them playing their first match against Brechin registered as Sevco because Rangers FC (In Administration) were still registered with the SFA.

    They were never relegated or demoted. They started again and, imo, were given preferential treatment that allowed them to enter the senior leagues so soon after their formation.
    All of which was supported by the Coral case ( when they refused to pay out on a large wager on Rangers being relegated)

    Trust me the SPFL review will be a cover up as well, Doncaster was adamant that "the Rangers" wouldn't be relegated, he tried everything to keep them in the top flight.
    It will be interesting to see what spin he puts on that....

    If it hadn't been for the fans reactions and the threat to boycott their own clubs matches then they would never have been relegated, at worst they would have got away with a 15 point deduction.
    The SPFL are proposing an independent review.

    It's a good point since, at law, you cannot pass on an item that you cannot show you had good title to.

    So if Oldco obtained anything fraudulently they couldn't actually pass it on or sell it. Sevco will be able to ask for their money back though

    Since they only paid £1 for them, it's hardly worth the bother

    More likely a nickname she got from her habit of going "Nurse! Nurse!" when 'throda used to 'explain' things to her at the weekly meetings.

    Yeah.

    Seen that before in various things. Assuming it's a PhD or similar.

    Or else one of those honorary doctorates that get handed out, where most recipients are too classy to actually use the "Dr."

    Convention is that recipients of honourary doctorates donot use the form Dr.

    Can't see she has one, though.

    Here you go...


    https://www.hw.ac.uk/about/news/heri...raduations.htm

    It's not clear whether she was already a doctor before the honorary one, though.

    Edit...she was, with another honorary one...

    Classy.

    Why are the forelock-tuggers across the way referring to her as Mrs Budge when they could be calling her Drs Budge?

    Maybe it's like Dr Doolittle? Only Mrs Budge writes to the animals rather than talks to them.

    The SFA are not fit for purpose and are bringing our game into disrepute. They selectively poke fingers at fans, player and manager behaviour when it suits their purpose yet cannot keep their own house in order, turn a blind eye to blatant sectarianism, knowingly allow children to be put at risk and act as advocates for the OF when under threat. Amateurs and cowards.
    Post of the Decade`s.. Totally Agree ( and have done so since the early 1980`s.. )

    Btw, has your blog on this subject your most read to date? It seems to be getting lots of retweets all over the place and even my dad sent it to me, which makes a change from stories about Mayo.

    It won't. That's already been ruled on. Recent legal advice confirmed again it's a non starter.

    If people are pushing for an enquiry then they should be aware of the limits of it.
    Why is it you & a very few others on this thread & topic seem to go out of your way to continually suggest that something like pursuing this further would be, according to what your interpretation of unnamed "legal experts" "believe " would be some sort of a bad thing?
