Rod Petrie

[SteveHFC]

The Scottish FA regrets to announce that the President, Rod Petrie, has temporarily stepped down from his duties with immediate effect on health grounds.
On the advice of medical staff, Rod will require a period of recovery away from work and Mike Mulraney, the current Vice-President, will assume the role of President in the interim.
Mike Mulraney: “On behalf of the Scottish FA board, our people and Scottish football as a whole, I would like to wish Rod a speedy recovery.
“Rod has been a pillar of strength to the association throughout this COVID-19 pandemic and to me as Vice-President. It is now our turn to support Rod through his recovery.
“We look forward to seeing him back to full health soon but in the meantime I will work closely with our Chief Executive, Ian Maxwell, to continue to steer Scottish football through the uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
“I would ask that everyone respects Rod’s request for privacy during his recovery period.”

Very misunderstood and a genuinely warm and funny guy.

I remember him coming into a club in the small hours in Malmo and it seemed to be around a turning point of him being seen as on our side.

All the best to him and hopefully back for the cup presentation later in the year.

[Jonnyboy]

Best wishes to you, Rod. I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Does anyone know what’s happened or what he’s dealing with? I’m sure there’s loads out there that would like to know while wishing him all the best. Fact nothing has been revealed makes it more worrying.

Some of the comments on Twitter from Rangers fans on the SFA statement reminds me why I loathe them so much.

That pretty much sums up twitter in general in my experience an utter cesspit which should be shut down or managed appropriately.

Get well soon Rod.

At least Twitter is taking steps to ban trolls and put warnings on dubious content. Facebook is just a free for all.

Edit: I am not denying that Twitter remains a cesspit however!

I put a 'get well soon Rod' comment on and had 2 utter reptiles from that vile club posting sneery **** back at me.
I've actually come to hate Twitter almost as much as I loathe Rangers or Sevco or whaterver they're called this week (I really don't care).

The comments are bad, sure, but the website in general is very good. Great source of news and opinion.

Facebook is turning. There were blanket suspensions the week before last on anyone following anything remotely reactionary. Anti racist groups behind it apparently taking it to extremes on the back of BLM. To the extent that Neville Staples of The Specials found himself played by the race card due to a page he was following. One look at the coupon of the great man should explain the folly of that.

From the SFA spokesperson

"I would ask that everyone respects Rod's request for privacy during his recovery period"

[WestCoastHibby]

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

He had S.H.A.R.P. logos on his page and the thinking behind the bans was that anything Skinhead must be racist.

I hope Rod is enjoying a quiet twirl of his tache to himself this afternoon.

Had the chance to chat to him in the hotel when we played Molde. Proper gentleman made time to chat thanked us for traveling and was sorry that we didn't get the result that night.

It probably was and ergo, the thinking was more than a tad misguided I hope you agree.
I got suspended, presumably for following a page with “Oi!” or something similar in the content, not that it was ever explained.

Edit. No thread hijack intended.

Totally agree. SHARP are completely anti-racist. Shows that Facebook are just employing an algorithm to hunt out pages rather than discretionary humans.

Met up with a friend at the weekend who is a close friend of Rod P.

Seems he’ll be back at his post next week. He had a procedural opp. And was told to rest up for a couple of weeks.

Seems he was really p*ssed off with the SFA statement.

Good news if true. Hopefully he's dusting off his black cap in readiness for the arbitration result.

Looking forward to his exuberance after the delayed cup final is played.
