Raith Chairman, Turnbull Hutton talking more sense once again. Gets tore into McCoist, Uncle Wattie, etc.. and Stewart Regan gets both barrels...

"I'm not a fan of Stewart Regan. Nothing he has done has given me any assurance that he's the right man for the job. Whatever was wrong with Scottish football in the past, and there was plenty, Ernie Walker and Jim Farry were at matches up and down the country. You got a chance to speak to them and they were happy to talk about the issues. Now we have a guy running Scottish football and he's never at a game on a Saturday. It was a bad judgment call for him to come wading into this issue. When did the SFA ever weigh into an SPL row before? Regan saw it as an opportunity to show he was in charge, but he messed it up totally."

---

The two most worrying aspects to me were the following:

The chairman accuses McCoist of "grandstanding" in demanding to know the names of the three-man judiciary panel, including Drysdale, who handed Rangers their original 12-month transfer ban. Their identities were already known to the Ibrox club.

and

Hutton was in the room when a motion of no confidence in the SFA chief executive was proposed and seconded, only for SFL president Jim Ballantyne to veto the vote.

Absolutely incredible IMO.

Sally linked with the Coventry job on Football Rumours (I know!), it would be amusing though.

oooooh campbell ogilvie is still alive after all :(

Rangers’ new signing Sebastien Faure revealed at the weekend that gaffer McCoist expects the club to be back in the SPL in two years instead of three.

Ogilvie said: “I read that but you’d have to ask Rangers about it. The leagues will decide what the structure is.

why does sally think that :confused:

And he dismissed any notion Ally McCoist’s side could be back in the top flight within a year.

Asked if reconstruction was being put through for Rangers’ benefit he said: “I can categorically take that out of the equation.

Local Radio reporting that official complaints were made to the Police and football authorities following sectarian singing by Sevco fans at Berwick last weekend.

That's not like them.

Interesting bit of law there; its a regulated Scottish game, so sectarian signing in a pub or other public place showing the game on TV is covered by the new legislation and they could be fined for it, but unless they were signing loud enough to be heard back over the border, those at the game can do what they like (subject to English law).

Not the first............http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...ZfFoJ72JCNveQA

Won't be the last.

We all know our Club and many others would ban this man for life.

What will the Hun do?

(rhetorical question).

Turns out the BBC report was "premature"

So, if they got that wrong, how much else did they get wrong? Are there any investors? :cb

:greengrin

The way I read the report about him, he is trying to get a move, and that CG would be happy for him to go.

CG and AM are both up before the beak today to answer charges of bringing the game into disrepute (or some such antiquated term).
We'll see just how hard the authorities come down on this pestilent pair.

That Herald report is almost exactly the same as the BBC one. Either one lifted it from the other, or it came out in a press release.

If it's the latter, someone forgot to tell Ally. :rolleyes:

Ally gets a 3 match ban - suspended, and Charley gets censured.
No change there, then.

"Censured" - what is the point of that??

I think he`s been told he`s been a very naughty boy and if he does it again he`ll get 100 lines.

Does that mean McCoist has to spend his three match ban, hanging from the roof of the stand?

He's not a naughty boy - he's the messiah.

It looks like a punishment, but it's no a punishment...

Only 26,450 in the Big Hoose tonight.

I just can't understand how Sally can get away with a suspended ban when it is already known that Rangers were represented at the Review and were fully aware of the panelists identities. He was quite blatantly inciting the hordes through the media.

I despair, I really do.

I hope the police take a rather stronger line.

Does anyone know why Rangers administrators didn't sell Ibrox and Murray park to a real estate company to pay off the debts? £5.5m doesn't seem to come close.
You know that they will be back in the premier league lording it up in no time. As if nothing ever happened. Think about how many front line public services you can buy with £100m+ of our tax money, that they spent on a big stick, with which to beat us.
They should have bulldozed Ibrox and dragged the culprits and their emblem, through the streets to be crucified on a mountain of burning shame. Just like would have happened to any other company who swindled the public purse to such an extent.
