ian1964 10,875 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 SION owner Christian Constantin last night told Rangers to fight FIFA all the way. Constantin went to war with FIFA last year over the Swiss clubâ??s signing ban. Sion were booted out of Europe and Celtic reinstated in their place. Constantin insists Gers must fight on despite fears FIFA and SFA chief Stewart Regan could kick them out of the game. Constantin said: â??Rangers should fight hard. If they think their fight is the right one they should go to the end. â??If FIFA interfere then it will be an abuse of power. â??Rangers canâ??t abandon it because the other party is going to make an abuse, especially if they are convinced they are in the right position. â??There may be pressures, but they should not listen to them. It is in Scottish culture to fight. The players do it on the field and Rangers should do it outside the field.â? FIFA last night confirmed they are speaking to the SFA about Gers. Would-be owner Charles Green wants peace talks with SFA chief Stewart Regan who last night revealed they wonâ??t appeal against Lord Glennieâ??s Court of Session ruling which overturned the SFAâ??s transfer embargo. It will now go back to Lord Carlowayâ??s appeal panel â?? with Gers risking having their SFA membership terminated. But Constantin isnâ??t convinced beaks will crack down on Gers the same way FIFA targeted Sion. He added: â??In our case, Sepp Blatter comes from the same country and it was personal. â??In Rangersâ?? case there is no personal aspect with Blatter so I hope he does not interfere. â??FIFA over-react when people go to the civil courts. They are very frightened the court will poke its nose into FIFAâ??s way of managing football.â? SFA boss Regan warned clubs not to repeat Gersâ?? decision to take disputes to civil courts. He said: â??It is regrettable a member club has sought recourse for a football disciplinary matter through civil court action. â??It is our intention to accede to Lord Glennieâ??s request and refer the matter back to the Appellate Tribunal. â??With our AGM taking place on June 6, it will be appropriate to remind member clubs that by very dint of their membership of the SFA, they accept and abide by our Articles of Association.â?

GovanAllan 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Regan talking in circles, he doesn't want teams going to court to stop illegal punishment. Then says he will stand by the same courts findings, if your so sure of your rules ya twat appeal it in the same court. As for the Articles of Association, an embargo isn't in the articles you stupid f#*k why can't you understand that. He's obviously been to the Liewell school of media control, keep saying the same thing over and over and eventually they will believe you. Problem is though Regan, Liewell is a cunning devious bastard, your just a stupid prick. Edited June 1, 2012 by GovanAllan 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 4,239 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not least since he agreed that Lennon was "charged illegally" by the SFA some years agon and had his ban reduced. Double standards et al. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 4,239 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 On a sidenote, an organization that views itself above the law whips up guidelines for themselves (!) and member organizations so they shall punish member clubs who abide the normal law? And when these member clubs look for legal aid, they are being told that - undue - penalties are on their way. Dunno, but does this not fulfill the case of coercion? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 There are countlesss European laws under which FIFA could be challenged. The only trouble is, whoever does the challenging will be thanked by the same clubs who will stand by and let it go to the wall as punishment. Football people really are the worst of the worst. This week, the chairs of two SPL clubs have openly said Rangers have acted dangerously by the outrageous act of using the law of the land. This kind of warped, perverted thinking is beyond me, but I suppose it accurately sums up the mindset of the people who run fitba clubs. Craig Whyte is not the only crazy owner in these parts, it seems. I'm totally disillusioned with the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly Bosman wasn't a personal winner either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
