Compliance officer

[ThomasMRFC]

As I’m studying law at college there was a conference on today and one of the people who attended was Claire white (sfa compliance officer) we were able to speak in small groups of 4/5 so I got to ask her a few questions . She explained the process of how the whole thing works. Basically she gets the referees report and then has to decide wether the incident in it was a breach of the rules and if she believes it is then she issues the notice of complaint. She then has to prepare her case as to why the person deserves the ban. She’s basically like the prosecutor in a legal sense and the clubs/players have their own lawyers basically with the defence and as we know it’s then a tribunal that decides. If the incident wasn’t mentioned by a ref then the ref gets asked and if it wasn’t seen the same procedure as above applies. I also asked how she feels about the media attention and when managers slate her in public . She replied saying she just has to believe she made the right decision and has to ignore the background noise from papers, pundits and fans or managers. But she understands football in this country is more important than life and death to some. I don’t agree with every decision she’s made this season but I obv wasn’t going to ask her specifics as she wouldn’t be able to go into details . She seemed pleasant and polite enough but and it was a interesting chat.

Aye very good but did you pump it?

 

[MCKAY72]

Did you ask who informs her of an incident if it wasnt seen by a ref or mentioned the match report?

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

And here's me thinking she's nothing but an ugly cow.

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

And the stuff not in the ref's report? She decides if it will impact Rangers and proceeds accordingly?

 

[MLF1972]

Think my questions would have been more direct.

 

[Chimo]

Did she explain how she decides which incidents to review, and which one she ignores. Other than the obvious pattern that everyone can see?

 

[Tamson]

Did you ask who informs her of an incident if it wasnt seen by a ref or mentioned the match report?

The salient point here.

 

[borderbluenose]

Back in the day lawyers went to University not college but in Scotland I expect the courses in Scotland will be about exotic cake making

 

[SuperGers07]

Why didn't you ask her about certain dives at Easter Road being overlooked
.. She's a mentally challenged

 

[julescotia]

Aye very good but did you pump it?

For the love of God, I hope didn't ......

 

[jb_sow]

How was she able to speak with Liewell's cock in her mouth?

 

[Brazilbear]

I want to know how she got the job and who appointed her.

 

[Arminius]

Sounds like your classic don’t want to be British but are actually British type

Sounds almost believable until you scratch ever 1mm beneath her slithering mendacious skin, and out crawls the rhabid bigot.

They’re all the same

 

[coplandrearl36]

So that’s what she does on a Wednesday when unavailable to fast track things.

 

[ThomasMRFC]

To reply to a few she didn’t say how she picks decisions that weren’t in the refs report or not seen. I think she deliberately tried to stay away from the subject and because I was in a professional place I didn’t really want to push it to much . Everyone including me has their own opinion but

 

[Cyberniv]

Well done for trying, but more questions than answers.

 

[Jan Wyck]

So you didn't ask the obvious questions we would all have liked to ask.

1. Do you have to be an RC to get the gig.

2. When and why did you wipe all your social media output

 

[ThomasMRFC]

She’s been a lawyer all over the place. She applied to be a fiscal twice and got rejected twice. So went to America and studied then back to London and then back here where she eventually became a fiscal for 12 years before getting the job with the sfa

Limp wristed my friend...….
Why didn't you ask her why no one from Bheast FC was cited, when there was overwhelming evidence shown on the TV

 

[Superrangers]

So basically like all catholics she does what she wants and makes it up as she goes along, to suit her agenda and the best interests of her own kind.

 

[GR4Dave]

Does she review all 90 minutes of professional football in Scotland each week. For instance, did she review all 90 minutes of Arbroath or Stirling Albion games.

Or does she just review Rangers games for missed incidents.

mentally challenged cunto.

If that was your best effort at cross examination, may I suggest conveyancing?

 

[Brian Laudrup]

My main question outwith her allegiances is what she actually knows about football?

She is making decisions that effect players livelihood and imho she knows nothing about football

 

[Stanley Yelnats]

Should have punched her

Is Mrs Compliant married?

If so, I nominate the OP Compliant Officer apologist as Mr Compliant

Sportscene is her go to.

 

[ThomasMRFC]

I don’t think she knows that much other than anything she watches as a fan. She may be classed as a sports lawyer now but before she got her current job . All her previous work was mostly criminal law. The sfa obv appointed her as a lawyer with the 3 man panel on the tribunal being the football people /refs

 

[ThomasMRFC]

She says she issues notice of complaints to every league from the premiership to the highland/lowland (they just don’t make the papers) so no she can’t watch every game .

 

[Superrangers]

Should have punched her

As long as you don’t mean up the knickers.

 

[Axelrod]

Did you ask who informs her of an incident if it wasnt seen by a ref or mentioned the match report?

The million dollar question that nobody seems to know the answer to not even our own manager .

 

[Deleted member 125]

Did she tell you which Emerald CSC bus she travels on?

 

[ThomasMRFC]

If that was your best effort at cross examination, may I suggest conveyancing?

Hahaha fair enough but I wasn’t going to go on a pure attack on her when I’m in a room full of potential future employers on specific matters . I mean there’s people out there much more qualified than me that can’t get answers. She prob would have dodged anything she didn’t want to answer and I would have looked like I had an agenda against her

 

[Brian Laudrup]

So if we take Alan McGregor’s incident with Lewis Ferguson as an example,ref never seen it so im guessing it wasnt in his report,so who brings it to her attention?

 

[ThomasMRFC]

If I

The million dollar question that nobody seems to know the answer to not even our own manager .

if I could go back I would probably have asked her that but I guess I missed the chance

 

[Axelrod]

What would’ve been wrong in asking “ how do you pick decisions out that aren’t in the referees report and weren’t seen at the time ?”

It’s a straightforward question .

I suspect the reason it’s never been answered is because It’s sportscene footage , and if she admits to that then she’s admitting it’s manipulated by their editing team and so isn’t worth a Fck .

 

[ThomasMRFC]

So if we take Alan McGregor’s incident with Lewis Ferguson as an example,ref never seen it so im guessing it wasnt in his report,so who brings it to her attention?

I’m gonna assume she does watch highlights of the games somewhere . Prob a package the spfl send her. If asked she would prob say she does so on the back of her own opinion of the incident and the option for appeal is there. Now whether you believe she’s baised is another matter

She would never had admitted that if true . She would just say in her own opinion she believes a rule was breached. That’s what she said about incidents in the match report and she would prob say the same applies to those that weren’t

 

[Elvis]

That's the crux of the whole issue with the Compliance Officer. Probably Sportscene informers and grasses.

 

[Axelrod]

But she must see them somewhere , and that somewhere must be tv . Common sense tells us that . So it wouldn’t exactly be a big “ reveal “ .

Basically we all know that’s where it is , but in the murky world of Scottish football it’s left unsaid .

It’s trial by sportscene and I hope she’s out of a job shortly .

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Quite clearly she's as dishonest as most of us all thought.

Move over and let the next mentally challenged in.

Surely Harper Macleod are not the only Glasgow law firm?

You could have taken a chance, impressed a bear who's a Senior Partner and already have your first job offer.

If Donald Findlay had been there I'd be marching up and down the hall whistling The Sash.

That's how the yahoos seem to operate?

 

[Bear all]

So really she is confirming what we all think to be true then,she has the final say on who gets ban or not.Are we to believe she is not accountable to anyone then ,well we dont believe that the amount of thuggery Brown gets away with proves that beyond any doubt.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

I would like to know what percentage of incidents we’ve been cited for are away games compared to home games seeing nearly if not all of our away games are on the telly

 

[AirthBear]

For the love of God, I hope didn't ......

For some reason, I thought she was a blonde haired fat cow. Now I know she is a dyed black haired fat cow.
Thanks for that.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I don't trust her or who appointed her or where she came from.

Sham

Dishonesty is what they do.

Yeah it seems that way from what she was saying . She issues the notices then she prosecutes against the club/player and the 3 man panel decide

 

[Walt Longmire]

Without the benefit of a personal interaction most of us already know her criteria for who, why and how she cites players.

Could have asked her what school she went to but again, most of us already know or could guess the answer to that one too.

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

Don't be too hard on the OP. he had limited time with a diverse group of people trying to question a trained lawyer. Hindsight is great and I'm sure we can all think of better questions that should have been asked.

As someone trained in the law and in the RC educational system, lying plausibly comes as second nature. Personally I wouldn't believe a word she says anyway. And in answer is a question she wasn't asked - Is she biased? Of course she is, even Perry Mason couldn't defend her on that one.
