Keith Jackson not having it that Lawwell wants titles.

This can all be traced back to the way in which Celtic were allowed to pursue and remove Jim Farry, aided by their fellow travellers in Chris Robertson and others (Remember this was not a decision made by the full SFA members, but by the board and there was a lot of dissent at what was seen as shifting the power base at the time). That gave them the idea that they could rule Scottish football

Regan was seen as a useful idiot by Celtic, recruited by their own headhunters and at a time Rangers influence was weakened by years of Murray's arrogance. Now, his usefulness has ended, they are gunning for him.

next SFA Cheif Exec - don't be surprised to see articles suggesting they should look at Lawwell....
 
"Better still, if it is Celtic’s belief that there has been some sort of institutionalised cover up, all propped up and endorsed by the SFA, then Lawwell is justified in demanding both accountability and action."

Say Jackson is correct and Lawwell is not after our titles. (I know it's hard to believe.)

What can this alleged cover-up be? That people in the SFA were involved in EBT's other than Campbell Ogilvie? That Andrew Dickson is being promoted within the SFA ranks? That Rangers punishment was not severe enough? That Rangers were given a licence to play in Europe?

All of this stuff has been debated. There is no nuclear button in any of the above. What does Lawwelll know or think he knows?

All being kept alive to suit the mentally challenged agenda .

It's so obvious it's unreal.

Build bridges, put things to bed and move on .

Are they fucking kidding in this disease ridden hell hole.

They have a taste for blood , our blood all ably aided and abetted by a compliant media.
 
Does keech really think he doesn't want our titles just to get one over us?

He signed Scott Allan even though he knew he'd never play to try and get one over us, Liewell is the chief obsessive, everything he does is with one eye on us.

This, all day long.

Jackson is wrong thinking that Liewell is loftily engaged in rubbing shoulders with PSG and other members of the Euro elite.

He is a bitter, obsessed Yahoo in a suit. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Here we go again with the hatred and bitterness from the most vile and rancid club in the land.
Make no mistake, this is not just 'Espanyolification', this ongoing attempt to destroy us.
If we are not a force of any kind, they have all the tools they need to move to another league, Scum fc would be just too massive for this little country.
I think this is part of the ongoing plan, Liewell and Regan were mates from way back, i don't think that now he has tossed him under a bus. They want total domination.its so close they can smell it.
We need someone who can go toe to toe with this evil maniac PL.

Where do you start with that pish?

Yes, the next door neighbours deserved to be punished for the financial meltdown which was a result of their own reckless hubris and which cast a huge shadow over the entire Scottish game. But the Ibrox club will argue, with some justification, that they have already paid an enormous price for the crimes which were carried out in their name.


Craig Whyte, administration, Duff and Phelps, liquidation, Charles Green, League Two, Bilel Mohsni. There is a strong argument here that Rangers and their supporters have had to suffer indignity like few others in the history of the sport since Sir David Murray took them to the brink.

Aside from all the other pish in there, now Moshni is being demonised for reacting to being assaulted?
 
Who's that in the pic checking out Liewell's arse? :eek:

That's a look of "if only you were 50 yrs younger"
 
next SFA Cheif Exec - don't be surprised to see articles suggesting they should look at Lawwell....

At one time, that would have seemed outlandish. After the clear bulldozing of the boundaries between member clubs and the boards running our game, they've clearly decided it's time to up the ante.

I have no doubt that after his UEFA stint, he will be the "ideal" candidate according to some of the media. I even wouldn't be surprised to see him leave Celtic for a few years to build the necessary "distance" between him and them.
 
And there are plenty on here who want to forgive and forget
this was a very good example of stoking the fires for the coming
war ,the one thing that the poets are good at and that is fighting as United unit ,we must learn before its to late.

To keep the issue alive Lawwell doesn't need to go to war with the SFA.

There are enough people to keep it alive - Spiers, English, McLaughlin, Spence, CQN, Resolution 12 group, Aberdeen fan's group etc etc etc.

What great injustice has been done that Lawwell wants exposed?
 
Written on his knees with his mouth open in front of his master Peter like a real Daily Record giver.

I'm reading it that he has had an internal war already and is now coming out all guns blazing because Reagan wouldn't comply .

The press et al are just useful idiots in all of this but handy all the same .
 
That reads like Jackson is being fed and led by Liewell. No mention of any other clubs wrongdoing over the years, of which there is much, as anyone who opens their eyes and is impartial would see.
I think this is a sinister piece which is designed to keep Rangers in the firing line.
If Jackson wants a witch hunt then so be it but it must be impartial and across the board.
No stone unturned and then lets see the agenda driven creeps crawl out from under them.
 
So Rangers deserve to be punished for their own financial meltdown where the phuck does this leave Celtic with their film scams,soft loans,council dealings and the biggest one of all the covering up of child abuse within their club either grow a set Jackson or crawl back under your stone along with the rest of the gutless Scottish press/media and authorities.
 
Serious question - do you think any of this would have got more than 1-2 days worth of air time in say England or any other normal European country?

The answer is NO.

It would probably be lucky to be mentioned at all.

But here we are with the journos, Lawwell and other obsessives going over it again, again and again.

This Jackson is supposed to be a sports writer, but when was the last time him or any other journos actually spoke about what happens on the field, rather than try and create drama off it?

It is not healthy and only in the bitter cesspit of Scotland would it be allowed to happen.
 
Jackson is irrelevant because he writes scum bag pieces like this. Casting aspersions on the SFA while holding a pig like Liewell up as the good guy. Do me a favour. Liewell is a tyrant who holds grudges. When he doesn't get his way he looks to take revenge.

A review is needed all right. A review into Liewell's conduct and undue influence.

What can the alleged cover up be? Or, is it just a form of words to put the SFA on the back foot?

I think Lawwell knows of some wrongdoing that will be to his advantage. Can't for the life of think what it is. Something not to Celtic's advantage that's for sure.
 
Not looked at the whole thread but is there any chance Regan has a backbone and if "ousted" he could hit back with a few home truths on Lawwell - no silly me not a chance!
 
I will laugh when that bastard Lawell has a heart attack. A truly poisonous hateful bitter twisted individual. Wouldn't be surprised if dr death is still pulling strings behind the scenes either
 
Wee snippet in the sun says Rangers furious with Celtic outlandish claims.

Appreciate the info but the wider point there for me is its a very old and limited way to respond if that's the extent of our reply..... Brief a tabloid to say were furious but officially say nothing. Which all plays back to the boards impotence media strategy. The report card in this area must be a zero for us.
 
Someone from the Rangers board has too in no certain terms call out Lawwell on what is it he's after ........
 
Where do you start with that pish?

Yep. Scottish journalists have the cheek to get on a soap box and moralize to us! Rangers have players of all nationalities and religions on our playing staff. Yet Jackson singles out a Muslim who was attacked on the pitch by opposition players then vilified by all and sundry for defending himself. It's a shameful incident for Scottish football. Rangers too unfortunately. Moshni was hung out to dry by his own team. But Jackson only singles out Bilel because he is prejudiced.
 
I can only conclude that reference to Bilel Mohsni is racist cant by Jackson. He was far from our poorest player, so why mention the big man? Snide, petty & typical of this so-called journalist.
 
strange naming Andrew Dickinson as if he has been up to no good, care to elaborate?
Why don't you focus on SDM and leave the board to rebuild our club, how have been punished like no other club in the history of British Football.
Why not really go to town and get the 5 way agreement on the table and how Harper McLeod behaved pushing their very own agenda that you think is not the underlying tactic.
 
" Right Jackson, get in here...here's your latest article and as you see we have the most important bits in it for you,namely they gained unfair sporting advantage and that I,Peter the great will deserve my own statue"..."sure thing Pete. ...ehhh boss..I'll get this out for Monday sir"....pathetic.

If Peter Lawwell's mission is to expose Scottish football's bad apples then go ahead but if it's about the Ibrox trophy cabinet we're in for a rough ride - Keith Jackson
Celtic chief executive would be doing Scottish football a monumental turn by exposing any wrongdoing.

There may well be a thousand unanswered questions regarding the events which led to the liquidation of Rangers.

But now that Scottish football is back on the brink of all out thermonuclear warfare, two in particular stand out from all the rest. They may even be inextricably linked.


What exactly is Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell hoping to achieve by pointing his missiles at Hampden’s sixth floor?

And what are the SFA so doggedly determined to keep hidden in their bunker?

If the answer to the first question is - as some of Celtic’s hard core dearly wish it to be - the stripping of titles from the Ibrox trophy cabinet then Lawwell is playing with fire.

If that is his end game and if he is successful then one day he will be deemed worthy of his very own statue on the Celtic Way. But at what price to the rest of the Scottish game? Because, in doing so, he will open up wounds which will never heal over and also force his club’s relationship with Rangers into a whole new world of bitterness and hostility.

Yes, the next door neighbours deserved to be punished for the financial meltdown which was a result of their own reckless hubris and which cast a huge shadow over the entire Scottish game. But the Ibrox club will argue, with some justification, that they have already paid an enormous price for the crimes which were carried out in their name.

Throughout all of it, Celtic’s superiority has soared to uncharted levels. Six successive top flight titles have already been banked along with millions upon millions of Champions League pounds.

Today Lawwell presides over a club which has never been so powerful or so much more mighty than the rest. Assuming he wishes to stay for the long haul then it is entirely possible that he will be in charge when his club is celebrating ten-in-a-row and cementing the second greatest era of its history behind the legend which was written in Lisbon.

Tomorrow he’ll be rubbing shoulders in the Parkhead boardroom with Paris St Germain counterpart Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who just might be the single most powerful mover and shaker anywhere in world football right now - while watching his side complete against Neymar, the most expensive player of all time.

And yet, in the middle of this period of unsurpassed empire building, are we really to believe that Lawwell is still spitefully lusting for the blood and the titles of his long since vanquished rivals?

I’m sorry but that just doesn’t seem logical especially given the circumstances of the Rangers demise. The misuse of EBTs is what brought this club to its knees. A tax avoidance scheme which was ultimately exposed as a vulgar scam.

For the normal working man on the street, of course, such blatant attempts at stiffening the tax man and robbing the public purse are morally reprehensible.

But this is how big business works. And football is big business.

Yes, without question some of the big names lured to Scotland by Rangers during that period were attracted by the financial inducements that the club was ultimately unable to afford. So, yes, it follows that Rangers almost certainly did gain a sporting advantage by the use of these EBTs.

But they’ve more than paid the price for this recklessness. To strip them of titles won on the pitch because of the financial jiggery pokery which was going on off it, wouldn’t just seem needlessly heavy handed. It would also be hypocritical given the lengths so many others in Scottish football go to in the name of running rings around Hector.

And spare me too this notion that it’s all somehow in the interests of learning lessons for the future. How many more lessons need to be learned over and above the obvious? It’s simple really. Don’t spend what you don’t have and make damn sure HMRC gets what it's due.

SFA chief Stewart Regan


No, there has to be another, greater aim for Lawwell and it can’t just be a public pandering to the element of his own support who are hellbent on squeezing Rangers until their pips squeak either.

Which brings us back to the second question. If the SFA really has nothing to hide then why are they behaving in such a curious, highly suspicious manner?

Could it be that, rather than looking to bloody an already badly broken blue nose, Lawwell has reason to believe that certain individuals are being protected by this stonewalling of his demands for a full review into this never ending shambles.

Because, if that is his real motivation, then Lawwell could be attempting to do the entire game in this country a monumental turn.

If there are people still clinging on to lofty positions of power despite being reputationally tarnished by their parts in this entire fiasco, then it serves the interests of the game for their wrongdoing to be exposed.

For example, I’ve been writing for long enough now that Stewart Regan is unfit for purpose as the SFA’s chief executive, and if an investigation into Rangers can offer up conclusive proof of his incompetence then all well and good.

While it would be a surprise if Regan was Lawwell’s target given the previously close relationship between the pair, it would be a welcome plot twist nonetheless.

But there could be others whose actions need to be explored including those of Rangers head of administration Andrew Dickson whose involvement in the notorious side letters hasn’t prevented him from climbing the SFA’s own ladder.

Better still, if it is Celtic’s belief that there has been some sort of institutionalised cover up, all propped up and endorsed by the SFA, then Lawwell is justified in demanding both accountability and action.

Perhaps that way, something good and important might come out of the Rangers farrago. Let us hope that this is the sort of positive closure which Celtic are seeking.

The alternative, a closure which does nothing more than open up old wounds, can only end badly.





Now not banned from the glitterdome he has written a puff piece they want Regan gone and a placeman in it's that simple and all their journos are now squeezing for them.
 
It's Jackson FFS. The leopard does not change its spots and now he is back in the safe arms of Liewell we will have to expect more of this. His first name is indeed Keich.
 
Jackson at his best, you can take what you want from that rubbish.

No matter what you throw at him. he will simply reply, "you are misunderstanding what I wrote".

It's what he does best, and it's why he is stuck with a dying paper, and zero prospects of a better offer.
