I look at his site from time to time for amusement value. He's a delusional, attention-seeking welt. Basically just rehashes the same old stuff over and over gain, claiming he's in exile and has various contracts out on his life, moaning that folk won't donate money to him, threatening to close the site down, then postponing the threat ended closure endlessly.Quote:

Hearts fans I know are embarrassed about alot of the posting on Kickback and as for The The Bears Den...there is alot of pure bigotry on it, appalling language and some nasty fan vs fan stuff, some of it even coming from admins (or Moderators as they call them). I think it must be impossible to be banned which says alot.Quote:

(As for Sevco, they seem to have had a policy of deliberately not declaring tje contractual side letters. This was/is in breach of the authorities regulations so I think they deserve everything that happens to them which will hopefully include tiles/trophies being voided and HMRC initiating cases to get the tax and any late penalties paid to UK PLC)
Another Aberdeen fans group (Fanzine this time) come out in favour of sporting integrity.

Sad state of affairs but not unexpected. Solicitors in Arbroath must be a bit irked by his comment
What gets me is now the courts have ruled it's illegal (EBT's), yet SFA saying they've taken best legal advise. Well my understanding is Rangers thought that EBT's were legal ( yes we all know that's a lie) but took it to court and lost.
So my question would be why should fans go to games knowing our footballing ruling body are corrupt and only interested in protecting the Glasgow gold fish and not the whole aquarium? Would we be better just walking away from the corruption now and taking up another sport?
I go to every Hibs game home and away some development games too but what is the point if there is no sporting chance for teams to compete on a level playing field?
The way it would force the SFA's hand to act if every fan who wants a fair inquiry into title stripping and the court rulings now being finalised would be to stop going to the National games, extreme but hit the SFA where it hurts in the pocket and numbers in the seats at Hampden.
Will this happen probably not.
GGTTH
EBT's were legal until around 2010, that's never been the problem, the problem is with how Rangers used them, the hidden side letters alone should've been enough to void everyhing thy won as if meant players were improperly registered however LNS in 2013 ruled that they didn't give Rangers a Sporting Advantage on the assumption Rangers behaved in a lawful manner, he really had to come to that decision at the time as you're innocent until proven guilty but HMRC won the appeal with a pretty damning verdict and with the Supreme Court upholding that decision it's beyond all logic that the case cannot be re-opened, it must be.Quote:

Reading that interview with Topping closely and if you are being optimistic you could interpret it that the SFPL have decided to take action and have taken legal advice on what would happen to a challenge from Sevco which would surely follow.
Topping gave no indication there one way or the other which way they are going.
Let's hope they apply their own rules " without fear or favour".

There's a nice piece (NOT) in today's 'Daily Rectum' on Topping's leaving and to be honest, a more honest and accurate appraisal of him and his 'achievements' !Quote:

http://i4.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming...JS18965863.jpgRalph Topping (Image: Craig Williamson/SNS Group)
Ralph Topping’s SPFL long goodbye is finally upon us and it’s clear his replacement Murdoch MacLennan has big shoes to fill. Yeah, like the ones worn by Coco the Clown.
Harsh? Perhaps. But it says a lot about the footprint Topping has left on Scottish football that the news he was for the off at the end of the month was met by a collective shrug of the shoulders by many and a swift flick of the vickies by a few.
The outgoing chairman is a fairly inoffensive character. On the rare occasions he has spoken he has come across as a decent fellow.
http://i3.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming...-July-2017.jpg
Murdoch MacLennan is the new chief (Image: Telegraph Media Group Ltd) But he has been the seldom seen kid of the Scottish scene for eight years. This has arguably been the most bonkers period in Scottish football history yet the chairman of the entire organisation has been hiding under the duvet.
Topping has been an armchair general but we can only hope the new man is prepared to get down and dirty on the front line.
As for the soon-to-be-departed’s legacy, it makes pretty grisly reading.
Neil Doncaster and some friendly chairmen trot out the party line, saying Ralph steered the league through a very challenging period. Really? He might have been steering but the league has been a buckled trolley rolling down a hill.
Go back to when he replaced Lex Gold in 2009. The game was far from perfect but the Scottish league was ranked inside the top 15 in Europe, we had two teams in the Champions League – one straight into the groups – and six in European action.
http://i2.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming...JS18965877.jpg
SPL chairman Ralph Topping (Image: SNS) We’re 23rd now and God knows where we’re headed after this year’s disasters.
We’ve seen five clubs go into administration, including three of the biggest clubs in the land, and one which went all the way to liquidation.
Speaking of which, the chairman’s pitiful role in the Rangers fiasco is another line on the CV that needs a black marker through it.
Topping is credited for his part in the SPL merger with the SPFL. It was Ralph who got the clubs together, some say. Very good. But while he was twisting the arms of the Brechin City chairman, he managed to kick off the rebranded league without a sponsor.
That alone was a gallows offence. A shiny new product ready to launch and not a bean on board for two years. The same in the League Cup. That was the first job to do, not the last.
Now we’re meant to be grateful he managed to get his pals at Ladbrokes to sink a few quid in? Do us a favour.
If it’s a decent leader’s job to leave behind a stronger product than he inherited then Topping has had a stinker. The new man is going to have to call in the decorators on day one.
http://i2.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming...JS69673572.jpg
Some of Scotland's biggest clubs have been in financial difficulty (Image: SNS Group) A lot of folk will think, ‘Murdoch who? Ach, he’ll be another faceless suit like the man on his way out.’
But he might just surprise. This is a man who spent decades in papers and even managed to make money out of the internet. Folk say the newspaper business – whether print or online – is doomed. But almost two million in Scotland will read something produced by our papers every day.
Use it. Sell Scottish football. Get the clubs to open their doors, slash ticket prices and engage with supporters. Find out what fans want and work out a way to deliver it.
There’s more to do. MacLennan has been left holding the stinky nappy of the Rangers tax case.
Meet it head on and stop all the dithering. Go back to Lord Nimmo and see if he wants another look in the wake of the Supreme Court decision. If so, get on with it.
Try to tackle the brutal lack of youngsters playing in our top division.
Sort out the unfair play-off system that leaves Championship clubs clapped out by the final.
Knock the bickering chairmen into shape and find a structure and calendar that helps not hinders clubs.
Drive a hard bargain when it comes to TV deal negotiations rather than holding up the begging bowl.
The SPFL chairman doesn’t have to be just a referee among the arguing factions. He can be a leader.
Ralph can take the clown shoes with him. Let’s hope to God that Murdoch will come in wearing steel-toe-capped tackety boots.
The 'Coco the Clown' line is superb !!

Scottish football has struggled enough to find sponsorship in the past. If there are publicised boycotts by about half of the population every time there was a contentious period in Scottish football (and if it wasn't this, it would be the latest dodgy refereeing decision) then we'd never get any sponsors to put money into our game.
The money makes no difference anyway while the current regime is in charge. The SFA is failing in every single area it operates. The performance of the national team has been woeful for a generation now, our clubs are regularly embarrassed in Europe, the standard of players we are producing is falling, their oversight of corporate governance is failing, there has been no financial fair play rules implemented even though we have had 6/7 clubs in administration and they won't even uphold their own rules.Quote:

Not really into boycotts very much. Even not buying the DR is more of a quality decision than a boycott. It wouldn't really be a boycott unless you avoided them all though, and as I think G4S do Easter Road security it would quite difficult for Hibs supporters to go all-in!Quote:
