Nothing in there that surprises me. 

 

Clare Whyte is one of the most biased, corrupt football officials I’ve ever seen. Her record in such a short period of time is there for all to see.

The same "blind eye" from castle doom in the same way the pedophile boys club never existed there.

Where’s Rhegan’s successor Ian Maxwell these days?

 

seen & heard little from him these past few months. Does he think the CO is doing a good job & is impartial?

SFA release wide-ranging Q&A addressing compliance officer role, fast track tribunals and bid to improve 'transparency'
The disciplinary procedure has been a hot topic in recent weeks and the governing body has responded.

The SFA have aimed to quell growing frustrations over their compliance process after releasing a wide-ranging Q&A covering a host of recent talking points.
The disciplinary procedure has been a hot topic in recent weeks following the decision not to take action against Alfredo Morelos following a series of incidents during Rangers win over Celtic.
Celtic released a statement criticising the decision after the Colombian had clashed with Scott Brown, Ryan Christie and Anthony Ralston.
Referee John Beaton also received threats after the derby match between the sides.
Record Sport exclusively revealed Scottish whistlers believe Beaton and Willie Collum have been hung out to dry by their employers after a string of "mysterious inconsistencies".

But that's not been the only issue this season with supporters, players and managers being left scratching their heads over a host of incidents with many seeking clarification over the mandate of the compliance officer.
Fans have been clamoring for a reply and the governing body has responded by choosing to release a statement at the close of play on a Friday night.

Here's the Ian Maxwell Q&A in full


Can the compliance officer take retrospective action for on-field incidents?

SFA: "The compliance officer can only raise a fast track notice of complaint and take retrospective action when an on field incident, or an exceptional part of an on field incident, has been unseen by the match officials.
"When investigating a potential fast track case, the compliance officer does not seek any opinion on the incident from the match officials, or ask them to reconsider any decision made. This has not changed. The decision of the referee regarding facts connected with play will always be respected in line with the laws of the game. It is for this reason that the disciplinary rules relating to retrospective action only come into effect when an incident, or part of an incident, is unseen by the match officials.
"When the match officials confirm an on field incident is unseen, the compliance officer seeks opinions from three independent experts. Those experts are drawn from a pool of former category 1 referees, who are up to date with current refereeing guidelines. A fast track notice of complaint can only competently be raised when all three experts provide written evidence that the incident constituted a sending off offence."


How does the claims process work?
SFA: "In certain circumstances a player or a club can raise a claim against a wrongful dismissal, mistaken identity, or wrongful caution for simulation.
"A specially trained fast track tribunal determines whether there has been an obvious refereeing error based on the case put forward by the player/club, a factual report by the referee, and the relevant laws of the game. Every fast track tribunal includes an expert on the laws of the game. If it is determined that an obvious refereeing error has been made, the disciplinary action taken by the match referee can be rescinded by the fast track tribunal.
"It should be noted that the compliance officer is not involved in the claims process. In addition, the disciplinary department itself does not make any decision on whether a sanction should be imposed, or a red card rescinded."


Has the system changed this season?

FA: "The rules relating to the claims procedure and fast track notices of complaint changed for season 2018/19 following extensive consultation across the Scottish footballing family. "There was input on the proposed revisions to Section 13 of the judicial panel protocol (relating to fast track proceedings) from a range of different stakeholders. This included clubs, players’ representatives, the head of referee operations, and the Scottish Senior Football Referees Association. All parties agreed that the revisions were appropriate and necessary."


What information is published?

SFA: "A focussed effort has been made by to improve transparency and understanding of the disciplinary processes this season.
"The disciplinary section of the Scottish FA website makes available all of the recent determinations of the disciplinary tribunals. It also includes full written reasons for each of the cases determined by a fast track tribunal. Those reasons may include excerpts from the referee’s statement. Referees are advised as part of the process that the statements provided by them are evidence, to be considered by the tribunal."


In summary

"We are committed to enforcing the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism across the Scottish game.
"It is our responsibility to protect match officials and the integrity of the laws of the game and apply our disciplinary rules with fairness and consistency."

One club to rule them all, One club to guide them,
One club to shackle them all, and in the darkness bind them ...

The CO themselves decides what is exceptional therefore has the power to fast track or not. This brings us back to Rangers players previously and Lego muncher when she was “ on holiday”?
