I think even if he had said that, the SFA would've levelled the same charge at us.

Just seen some cretin on FF claim that Tav is 'over fit' at the start of every season. It's the village that's missing an idiot that you really feel for.

I'm surprised the club thinks there's a lack of consistency. The authorities are very consistent, they'll ignore anything awkward from any other member except Rangers, they've been consistent with this for years.

Still didn't answer my question - on ignore

Bang on. Was literally typing something along these exact lines

Good statement. Nothing wrong with Brown stating that opinion on RTV. The SFA can GTF.

Looks like I’ve had another senior moment!🙁 “Regrettably, your season ticket seat within the Broomloan Stand, will not be available for this match. Alternative seats will be available for online purchase from 12:00 Wednesday 2 July until09:00 Monday 7 July.”

This Greek outfit have never lost to a Scottish team, They're is always a first

Celtic steal a march on us lately. If we fail again at least they may lose their qualifier but they are seeded.

It would be nice to get our hands on some of the champions league riches

Why are you concerned about the new articles? Presumably the new ones will be the model articles, unless you know something different? What reduction in transparency? Being a PLC costs more and makes it more difficult to issue shares. Also I'm not sure why you raised the points in this thread. A statement about a SFA fine has got nothing to do with our corporate arrangements. We can have a view on the statement independent of the points you raise.

Je suis Bomber.

Great statement.

".....As part of our defence today, we flagged numerous examples of similar incidents on club channels. These incidents raise legitimate questions about Scottish FA rules and how consistently they are enforced. To our knowledge, none of these cases appear to have resulted in charges against the respective clubs....." ________ How did the SFA respond to that ?

I agree but Brown's comment was unnecessary, could have used the word 'incompetent' for example.

Far worse said on other channels and never a thing is said about it. We should not pay the fine.

He was a guest though, he wasn't giving his opinion as anything other than a punditry guest on a partisan club TV channel. Which he was also quickly shot down by Tom Miller. This wasn't an official viewpoint of Rangers FC, and other clubs haven't been held to the same account.

I can see the lack of consistency argument but it was a stupid remark by Brown on Rangers official tv channel.

I'd be more concerned with the new Articles of Association that the consortium want to bring in and the reduction in transparency.

1. We are currently in CL qualifiers and should be looking to give it our very best shot. 2. How exactly would we prioritise the league? Do we play kids in Europe ? We have seen that our players are generally more motivated in European football rather than domestic. How do you change that? 3. Finance. The new owners won't bankroll continued failure, they want to take money out. How do you plug the increased gaps left by much reduced European revenue. Bear in mind that we will be wanting to use monies from player sales to invest in squad. 4. What happens if we prioritise domestic football but lose the league? Would you continue to prioritise the league and not bother so much about European footbal? Do you call that a coherent and viable business model? 5. Do we let our hard earned coefficient go down the toilet? Higher coefficient means increased prize money. - European group football is necessary for our business model and current financial situation. - Your binary choice is flawed and presumes we win the league if we are out of Europe and doesn't even consider a worst case scenario that is very possible. - Winning the league isn't a guarantee of a CL League phase place Note 25/26 SPFL winner would have to play one CL qualifier 26/27 SPFL winner currently on path to play 3 qualifiers. Second place would go straight to Conference League qualifying (3 rounds)

Rangers FC today has been found by a Scottish FA judicial panel to have been in breach of Disciplinary Rule 38, following a remark made during commentary of the Hibernian v Rangers game in May. The club has been fined £3,000. We feel it is necessary to highlight the broader concerns this outcome raises and the wider implications this has for clarity and confidence in their regulatory processes. John Brown spoke emotionally and spontaneously as someone who cares deeply about the club. His words were not scripted, and they were not an official club comment. The ruling however sets a precedent where even spontaneous, corrected remarks made during live coverage of a clear refereeing error are enough to trigger a formal sanction. That is neither proportionate nor consistent, especially when other clubs have made stronger comments on official platforms without consequence. As part of our defence today, we flagged numerous examples of similar incidents on club channels. These incidents raise legitimate questions about Scottish FA rules and how consistently they are enforced. To our knowledge, none of these cases appear to have resulted in charges against the respective clubs. The lack of consistency with the Scottish FA’s policing of similar incidents leaves more questions than answers. That is why we will be contacting the Scottish FA Chief Executive and President to seek clarity on what policies and processes the Compliance Officer has in place, if any, to ensure a consistent and proportionate approach to enforcement and the equal treatment of member clubs. We shall also be asking the Scottish FA whether they accept that a rule that cannot be applied consistently across all clubs and all platforms risks losing credibility as a fair and enforceable regulation. Our aim here is to understand the rationale behind the differing outcomes. A lack of consistency, or the perception of it, undermines confidence in the disciplinary process and exposes all member clubs to uncertainty about what is and is not allowed. There remains no clear guidance on how clubs are expected to manage live broadcast content, though we note the panel acknowledged that the club’s internal editorial guidelines may serve as a constructive step for others going forward. To be clear, we referenced these other examples not to suggest they should have resulted in sanctions, but to highlight the clear inconsistency in how similar incidents have been handled. Club media channels are, by nature, passionate and partisan. Informal, tongue-in-cheek and emotional commentary comes with the territory, especially in live settings. But, in choosing to pursue this case, the Scottish FA has opened the door to closer scrutiny of how similar situations are handled going forward. If this is now the standard, they will be watched closely to ensure it is applied across the board, consistently, without exception and without favour

Let us know what they say. They are normally pretty good at getting back to you. I've seen people use their phones but best to get that confirmed by the club.
