SFA has opened an investigation into a number of ''inappropriate' Rangers related tweets made by St Mirren chairman John Needham
- Thread starter Bonnyloyal
- Start date
This is where Rangers should be calling it out publicly and using the term sectarian.
Time to fight back Rangers.

Pathetic that life has come to be like this, but hope this prick gets some decent punishment unlike the DR staff. Breath not being held

I’m sure Useless and Dornan have put their Fleshlights down and are typing out their outrage as we speak.

Was going to say this. Fair play to the SFA if they're going to bother their arse in doing anything but the silence from the usual set of people, particularly on Twitter, is deafening.
If it happened to the other side?

Would this have been a consequence of a member club raising it with SFA ?
Comes across as a real snide sort so he will feel right at home at Hampden
Look forward to seeing the other news agencies pick this up and report it heavily

By putting out that apology the guy has admitted they were his tweets. Can't see the investigation taking long

Tweeting that he hopes a bridge collapses with folk upon it, no matter who they support, is sickening. The cops should be involved in that.

He must be really daft to make tweets of that nature deserves what he gets.

Its nothing short of disgusting and appalling that he made those vile comments about supporters, Rangers supporters, who have known and experienced disaster only too well

This St Mirren guy is just the tip of the iceberg. At least it’s been addressed now, watch out Aberdeen, Hibs and the rest of them. Treat us with respect.
Mr Park has proved his point in court, now the climb down by Scottish Football Association.
The Fat Japanese is no longer about to cover up for them

The problem is that there’s no fear anymore for these people. He probably knows that sectarianism is considered a one way street in Scotland and for most in law enforcement. Government and high positions in society you can only suffer sectarian abuse if you are a Catholic. It’s akin to everyone thinking domestic abuse is only committed by men.
As long as the SNP is in power this is going to be the status quo.

How many SPFL/SFA people does he know that he would be friends with on Twatter or however it works and you're telling me that not one of them ever noticed any of his tweets before regarding Rangers,I for one find that very hard to believe unless THEY ALL KNEW!!

Were are all the sectarian bigots now. They are quick enough of the mark when they think they have something on us, whether it is true or false

All social media can be poison but Twitter seems to be the worst.
And it's not just normal punters either, it's shaite being spouted from scum in positions that should be showing some sort of example and responsibility.
I don't think they are daft , i I think they spout this bile knowing full well that there's little appetite in this pishy wee country for anything to be done about it. It's a one way fight. Rangers , rangers fans and anything else connected with rangers is fair game in natzi Scotland.

Even if you take the sectarian angle out of it, a club chairman speaking like that on social media is completely inappropriate. Can you imagine him speaking to the Rangers directors at the game at the weekend, after the tweet of him wishing thousands of Rangers fans fell off a bridge was highlighted? What a tosser.

Hate Crime? This is why the legislation was introduced, I seem to remember “Dead-eyed” Hamza on his high horse about it. Unfortunately that horse will be on a one way street.

I know we have to wait now and see how this plays out.
But when the dust has settled I want action from the club. That ratbag and the rest of the St Mirren board should not and cannot be allowed back into the Ibrox boardroom and share social niceities with our directors. At least for any games between the clubs at Ibrox this season.
Then you can maybe draw a line under it.

He should be removed before now. If it was a rangers director making these comments This would have been front page news 2 days ago.
Totally agree.
If he's still on the St Mirren board when they next visit Ibrox then our board as a minimum should ban him from sitting anywhere in our stadium other than paying to get in and sitting with their supporters.
all that will happen is someone from the SFA will organise some “..coaching and guidance on the correct use of Social Media..”
