the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 turns out their was no board meeting today. and while i suspect the investigation will find little ore nothing that must by extension be bullshit as well for now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,306 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I never said they could, but they have much more powers to harm us, compared to some toothless, independent investigation. I'm sure the people that ordered it had their reasons. I'm just not so sure that those reasons were in the best interests of the club. If it was purely to get Green to resign, then I suppose it wasn't a total waste. People that think the sfa will take these findings as gospel, are living in a dreamland. This investigation is being overseen by Roy Martin QC. Love to see the SFA try & get someone to challenge him if they don't like its findings. Who would they get ? Fat McKenzie? don't make me laugh 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Agreed. We commissioned an external investigation by Pinsent Masons and Deloitte, overseen by a highly respected QC. What are the SFA going to do? Get Rod to show off his bigotry and bias in the courtroom? He'd be a laughing stock - and he knows it too. He already got put in his place by Nimmo Smith. No - this was a good move - well worth it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTinMan99 0 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It's hardly an "external" investigation. It kinda reminds me of the time that Whyte was running about like a blue arse fly to get duff and duffer in as admin. That worked out well eh? The sfa can, and probably will still try and hold their own investigation, followed by any punishment they see fit. Football rules are not always compatible with the law. Last year was a perfect example of that, when we won in court, and still had to accept the original punishment, in order to get a licence to play again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That had bugger all to do with due process. That was blackmail and will be seen historically as one of the most shameful episodes in Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTinMan99 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 If it was blackmail, why didn't we call the police? I'm sure blackmail is still against the law in this country. I was just pointing out, that this investigation won't stop the sfa doing whatever the fuck they like, again. It really is time we stopped blaming everyone else, and took a good look at ourselves, the support included. Blindly giving these crooks our money every year, is what attracts so many vultures, and snakes. It's almost at the stage where i wouldn't mind us going into admin again, and starting again in the junior leagues, playing at Glasgow Green. Anything to make sure these fuckers don't make another cent from us. It's that bad, in my opinion. The club cannot die, only companies go bust. Fuck them all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a bit extreme, but I literally didn't enjoy one single game last season because of these rats, and i don't see it getting any better in the foreseeable future. This pish will continue for years, because I don't see the white knight coming to stop it all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright - I stand corrected - slightly. It was blackmail in all but name. Let's fudge it and say it was corporate blackmail. It was a shameless abuse of power whatever you want to call it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the actual football games are one of the few things that are separate from the boardroom, a form of escapism if you like? I'm not being smart and i'm not trying to start another Green is good or bad debate, I just don't see how the owners can stop you enjoying a game of sport. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
