Club statement on SFA charges

[waffoibiza]

Any sign of the updated statement?

 

[Hussar]

Any sign of the updated statement?

Doesn’t seem like it

 

[FortWilliamLoyal]

I'd imagine it'll be after Wednesday's game as they don't want to disrupt any preparations, but that wouldn't really tie in with the original statement's timelines...

 

[Dingmeister]

Hopefully we won’t miss them when the real statement is made.

 

[ALASKA]

I hope it’s not a let down but goes right through them.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Oh I totally agree, but they for some reason seem to carry a bit of weight with UEFA, you just need to look at all the bloody times they have been fined yet we sing a song and get part of a stand closed. They just seem to be protected by all the associations yet it is open season against us and we seem to always just bend over and take it.

It shouldn’t be beyond the wit of Rangers to frame statemts in a manner that get the message across without falling foul of SFA / SPFL rules.

 

[Redlion no 8]

When will we get the statement?

 

[allrightfeet]

I may be wrong here but does UEFA not look kindly on clubs going to war with there home associations, could this maybe be why we are always doing the softly, softly approach? Don't want to be seen as rocking the boat, and no I am not saying I agree with this, just looking to offer a reason?

Is it not when teams go outwith the football system when taking court action against their FA that UEFA comes down on clubs like a ton of bricks ?

yes, correct, that's a losing route. Not sure if Court of Abitration for Sport is a potential route (without the downside)

 

[JJ_]

I would hope that Rangers are working in the background to nails these pricks. Would much prefer a statement telling us what they've done and how they've handled it

 

[Bridgend-loyal]

Guess there isn't going to be a statement tonight then.

 

[dh1963]

Maybe we need a statement to clarify when the follow up statement to the weekend statement will happen.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Maybe we need a statement to clarify when the follow up statement to the weekend statement will happen.

Maybe the management team (MD & non footballing) are years late in addressing a problem that is getting worse be the week.

 

[Wufty Bear]

any update on this ?

 

[Spudgun]

Looks like the usual initial response before slinking off and quietly accepting the shafting.

Hope I'm wrong on this and something is happening in the background.

 

[truebrit]

As mentioned previously it will probably be released after tomorrows game.

 

[BigAlmj1]

Looks like it will be in Thursday now.

 

[Aztec]

We have to follow through with our promised statement

 

[Adelphi Ger]

Hopefully the statement is released on after the game/Thursday from a position of strength - top of the league.

 

[steveski]

I hope it’s not a let down but goes right through them.

Thats what I've been thinking. Think we'll cave in and not take it any further. Hope I'm surprised!

They will be. I'm looking forward to seeing the next update.

 

[Loyaljock]

Can any of our players be punished on the back of this or can it only be directed at club?

 

[Number8]

Is it not about time this is taken out the SFA hands and presented in court.

 

[Monty Brewster]

Can any of our players be punished on the back of this or can it only be directed at club?

According to reports, only the club can be punished in these charges

 

[HenningBerg]

Decades late but I take your point .

 

[Spudgun]

According to reports, only the club can be punished in these charges

As the rules stand only a monetary penalty can be imposed, but don't be surprised if they're working on a rule change.

 

[skaillbear]

its a load of old cobblers

 

[Jonnyleblue]

No way it will be before the game as we'll probably need to be adding to the statement due to some inept decision tomorrow night

 

[Dalai Lammers]

No way it will be before the game as we'll probably need to be adding to the statement due to some inept decision tomorrow night

Win tomorrow then put it out

that way it’s not sour grapes

 

[Dambusters]

My biggest gripe with the board (there aren't many tbf) is the dignified silence tactic. Hope they follow through with what they said last week

 

[mad4rfcme]

What a load of utter ridiculous nonsense, clearly corrupt and all tp pacify and assist Ratbag FC.
You just couldn't make this tosh up.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

We deserve better!

 

[Deleted Account]

Hopefully we won’t miss them when the real statement is made.

It's taking a fucking long time

 

[Deleted Account]

Win tomorrow then put it out

that way it’s not sour grapes

I'm guessing that's what'll happen

 

[Dr Steve Brule]

Win tomorrow then put it out

that way it’s not sour grapes

That's what I'm expecting. We did the VAR thing after the filth win.

 

[westenclosurebear]

It's taking a fucking long time

A complex and lengthy rule book and legal review takes time.

 

[Staunch!]

After tomorrow's win we will likely hear something

 

[Hellsbells]

Have we released a full statement yet?

 

[blue216]

I can’t imagine for one moment it will be until after tomorrow’s game. One of the complaints by the Club was that it was raised just before the Cup game and became a distraction.

 

[napierblue]

Can only hope the length of time it’s taking to come out means it’s going to be lengthy and hard hitting

 

[LyonGer]

That's what I'm expecting. We did the VAR thing after the filth win.

Hopefully you are correct.
The club needs to go after these clowns

 

[stein and johnston]

The statement, when it’s eventually released, will have to be hard hitting and to the point.
You get the feeling the longer it goes on the impact that’s required will be diluted.

 

[Al Bundy]

How long does it take to release a statement. As has been said the longer it goes the less impact it will have.

 

[Jim Denny]

The thing is the SFA/La well won’t give a flying fuk about statements, we need to do what they do, get lawyered up and frighten them out their wee comfort zone, get the gloves off, its worked well for the rats over the years.

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Is there not some sort of European Court of Sporting Arbitration that we can take this stuff to? Assuming the club has built up a dossier of proven bias?

Like CAS?

 

[hippo94735]

Any indication of this coming soon?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Have they hired a detective to follow Clancy yet.

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

How long does it take to release a statement. As has been said the longer it goes the less impact it will have.

It depends on the content of any future statement. It doesn’t matter, to me, if the statement is tonight, tomorrow or next week. What is important is that if the Club have decided enough is enough, the statement hits the proverbial nail on the head.

And given our record do you honestly believe that will happen?
I've long since given up hope on that front.

 

[Morpheus]

Our club have came out and stated that Rangers are refereed to a different standard, meaning the referee in the OF game was more lenient/beneficial towards Celtic. So what do the authorities do? Let said official referee this weekend's Celtic game.

fucking unbelievable!!
