Sfa withdraw disciplinary charge handed to Michael Gardyne

[TN8]

Our player or players said he did use a homophobic term, you really think they reacted like this over a swear word?

Only player we saw going to the officials was Goldson. It's more than possible he thought he heard faggot when it was in fact fanny. The players closest to the incident didn't seem to react at all.

Nobody at Rangers seems to be pursuing it, so it seems likely it was a misunderstanding.

 

[Walter2]

Insufficient evidence!!!!!!
An we get dun for"destroying sandcastles"
Sometimes wonder what planet I'm living on.

 

[Bornathepostman]

Doesn't half take them an age to investigate! We played Ross county again before they reached their decision!

 

[Numanloyal]

Well isn’t that a shock .....NOT

 

[BSPECIAL]

What did the referee hear ? was he lying? Shower of corrupt assholes.
Strange that these panels always find Rangers players and staff guilty and have to face charges.
Wonder if gardyne is an rc,of course he is Charges dropped Lots of lies being told somewhere .End of story

Unbelievable,yet again there seems to be different sets of rules depending who you play for

 

[Bryanmc]

It’s one of those cases all you have to do is deny it and it’s hard to prove to be fair

I’m much more concerned about the lack of charges handed out over the tims covid 18-30

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Why was Gardyne missing from the weekends game anyone know ?

He was on the bench, he isn’t a regular starter.

First three paragraphs from BBC website story. Don't understand the third par - would the witnesses have been our players?

Michael Gardyne's Scottish FA charge for alleged comments made during Ross County's defeat by Rangers last month has been withdrawn.

The 35-year-old midfielder's hearing in relation to the incident was scheduled to take place on Thursday.

However, witnesses due to give evidence have indicated they do not wish to appear, meaning the case has been dropped.

 

[Paparay]

Wished I knew what he said

 

[Billy72]

Are we being nice again! No surrender w.a.t.p

I would say at least some of them are and they aren’t wanting to appear because they’ve now realised they misheard what Gardyne said.

 

[vinnie]

If he doesn’t have a case to answer, withdraw the yellow too. Fuckers

 

[daven37]

Good to see Clerr and the disciplinary panel are back at work. I'm sure there will be charges coming for the dubai diddies any day now...

Yep, hopefully they can get up to speed with the many punishments they need to dish out to the filth.

 

[Huckleberry]

Stamp it out, hypocrites with an agenda?

 

[Wugs]

 

[RFC_Champions]

This incident is nothing more than a storm in a tea cup imo.

However, the incidents that do require investigation that doesn’t even get any notice is outrageously double standards by the SFA/SPFL. Dubai being one of these incidents / occurrences. Browns extremely regular off the ball elbows being another.

 

[RangerInCanada]

More corrupt actions by the jokers

Absolute corruption to the core.
Shocking and yet not shocking all at same time

 

[mark hateley]

Hes guilty of being a creep in a changing room that much is 100%.

 

[Fergie11]

Bloody disgraceful

I can guarantee 100% Gardyne is a Tim so is his wife Lisa.
Although that shouldn’t make a difference he has obviously said something during that game.

 

[cm72]

I'd have been more shocked if he didn't get off to be honest. It's going to take a long time for these corrupt scum bastards to be removed.

 

[Rhblue]

Good, they can focus on the investigation into Covid FC now.

 

[orjan_persson]

Gardyne can go suck himself.

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

Does anyone know where we can see the clip of the incident?

You can normally hear what the players are saying quite well on the SPFL highlights on youtube but they didn't include the incident.

 

[Barca Bear]

What was Gardyne booked for at the time? The SFA are absolutely useless.

Not at the time as such, but in the tunnel, but your point is valid.

 

[nemessis]

Yep, hopefully they can get up to speed with the many punishments they need to dish out to the filth.

Need to take their Celtc regalia off first that takes a long time.

 

[jackgers877]

Gardyne was laughing and joking with one of our players at the end. I don't think there was anything much in it IMHO.

 

[Chocolateleftfoot]

No idea what was said or not said or misheard or whatever, but to throw it out because witnesses don't want to appear is laughable. Make them appear.

 

[Yosser]

If I recall correctly, many of our players ran to the referee after what was shouted.

It was only Goldson who went to the ref so his word against Gardynes. Would have been a not proven case.

What did we get for sandcastles?

It was thought to be a homophobic remark. An investigation was held and nothing came of it. There’s not much Rangers can do. I suspect something has been misheard.

Michael Gardyne cleared Rangers allegations as SFA drop charges

The Ross County veteran has been found to have no case to answer by the SFA over an alleged homophobic comment directed at an opposing player.

[cambridgeblue]

Can’t be a coincidence that this happens after we play them.

misunderstanding cleared up behind closed doors ?

 

[Bluerhap]

It was due to witnesses not wishing to attend the hearing. Our players don’t want to be part of any media circus.

 

[Del]

This sounds like the crux of the matter. If the ref heard him and reported him then that is enough in any other offence in football. Why do they have to bring others in?

Joke of an organisation.

 

[bobbyger]

People need to remove their tinfoil hats and give it a rest with this corruption patter for everything concerned with Rangers that they believe didn't go exactly our way.
None of our players really complained too much, no one has came out quoted exactly what was said. its all hearsay and conjecture and you cannot charge someone on that. If any of our players heard exactly was said and if it was indeed homophobic, they would have appeared at the hearing.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Was he not booked for language used at the time?

 

[Smkz23]

Joke of an organisation.

The ref didn’t report him, he got booked for using foul and abusive language at the time but the ref didn’t hear the alleged slur.

Not sure how many times it needs explained.

Filthy mentally challenged 2 boot.

 

[waldo 1160]

Take a step back from this.

It's his word against a few of our players. There appears to be no audible evidence.

Not much else the SFA can do.

Correct, but I'm sure the boss asks referee did you hear that ??!! I'm no lip reader....But I read that !

 

[Main Stand]

Gerrard never heard it, he’s said so himself.

 

[waldo 1160]

Gerrard never heard it, he’s said so himself.

That maybe the case, but he did ask the referee if he did.

 

[Craigie]

Then why was he booked?

He's clearly said something that the referee felt merited a caution.

As for saying something worthy of further information...unless it's picked up by microphones at the side of the pitch I'm not entirely sure what else can be done in this instance.
