Stephen Thompson SFA should throw the book at the rangers players

Our players will get bans 100%

What are the club going to say about Dubai jolly and the boozing and beaches ?

Probs nothing but that’s why we will continue to have inconsistencies in the disciplinary process at the SFA

Some escape. Rangers players don’t
 
Nah, dafty, they never even mentioned a WHOLE FVCKING CLUB breaking covid rules and admitting it. So no out players shouldn’t be shifted you utter cuck
 
Stephen forgets his club (St Mirren) have had numerous infections leading to games being called off because the club did not follow strict protocols and being treated very leniently by the SFA after being handed 3-0 defeats.
 
Sorry,stevie,you were shite as a player and now shite as a tv pundit,did i miss you throwing the library at the scum following their dubai debacle?...naw,thought so.

Where were the sanctions against other transgessors
Start of the season Aberdeen and Celtic No punishment game postponed(played last night)
Kilmarnock and Hamilton points deducted later rescinded No punishment
Jones and Edmonton caught socialising
7 games bans
Celtic again pictured after breaking social distancing rules on an ill advised trip to Dubai Brought back two positive Covid cases...
No punishment
Guess it will be ban times for our boys again,if not other sanctions against the club
Are we going to be the only team actually
punished for these breaches ?
 
It really irks me in fact I’ll change that, it really fucks me off that we have inept weirdos like Thomson and Fanta baws given a platform to voice a truly irrelevant opinion
 
The whole Scotland squad should have got 7 games bans after getting pissed and dancing after their Euro qualification.
 
Our players should of course receive punishments.
However, I still don't know exactly what they were doing when they breached the covid rules?

For instance, were they lying beside each other at a poolside downing pints of lager?

Because if this was what they were doing I can well see why Thompson is demanding seven-game bans.
I am sure the bold Stephen Thompson would always demand such rigorous action in all such flagrant contraventions of these rules.

Guys a dick, but that's a ridiculous statement from yourself, when you consider he scored one of our 6 goals v Dunfermline in the league last day decider.

When I recall all the great centre forwards over the years from Stein, Johnstone etc I think I will stick with 'allegedly'.

Yahoos actually benefitted with Bolingoli being banned for 3 games

No mixing of households.
They were in the wrong but consistent punishment is the issue.

It will certainly be interesting if the sfa issue bans for our players similar to JJ and GE. They've allowed the Dubai lot off scot free even though they were pictured breaking rules and actually brought Covid back with them. It'll be yet more double standards that the club and clubs like Aberdeen should be highlighting.

We'll punish them more than the the SFA. The problem is them getting banned while the scum players were let off. The club will yet again, for the umpteenth time, accept it meekly.

It makes you despair. People say what should we do? I'd say collate evidence, hiring someone to do so, and take the rather obvious bias to the sports court. We can see the stats and see the bias, I'm sure others will. It may not work but sitting back and doing nothing won't either. Some, not you, go on a message board and complain "but what can you do" as if we can do nothing.

The players concerned will receive lengthy suspensions - deservedly - and they've probably also been fined by the cops. Zungu will go back to France but the young players will have to face Gerrard. That to my mind will be more than adequate and we don't need Steven Thompson's advice.

That’s really as far as it can go.
I hate saying “they can’t” because, with Rangers, the rules seem to have a different interpretation, but they can’t fine or penalise Rangers for this.
What protocols did the club break?
It was individual players, on their own time, who broke the rules.
You couldn’t penalise the BBC because six of their employees broke the rules, could you?
 
Workman-like playing career swapped for slavish adherence to BBC's RFC-hating ethos. Too manicured & self-aware. Redeemed for despising Mickey Stewart & supporting his boyhood team. A huge upgrade on J Sutherland etc.
 
I'm having a tough time working from home while schooling. But I may start a new career in journalism or broadcasting. Okay, here goes...

"Rangers bad, Celtic good".

That's me surely passed the interview.

Totally agree about our great centres, but there is nothing alleged about Thompson playing for us.
 
Not even gonna read any pish he's come away with. His opinion on the matter is about as relevant as my dug's. Someone banjo him with that bloody guitar.

Well when you consider the consistency, yes and no.

Yes to a 3 match suspended ban

No to anything such as 7 game bans etc.

Only consistent ban before Jones and Edmundson were either 3 match bans or 2/3 match suspended bans.

So, when the entire Celtic team and staff are fined and banned we'll talk about that Stephen. Until then f**k up!
 
When I was a kid I believed Rangers players were 100% Rangers fans, prepared to run through brick walls for the team on the pitch. Because of fannies like him and Black, I know that's not the case. Can you imagine this tit in the dressing room when Souness or Walter were in charge?

Exactly. I'm sure John mcginn nutmegged him and ripped the absolute curnt out of him in training. That resulted in the big fanny taking a rager and spearing him. He tried to pass it off as a mistake and a bit of a joke gone wrong.

Should have aimed higher, might have improved his face
 
Am I missing something? Is he not saying what the vast majority of FF have been saying on this board on the many threads about the incident over the last couple of days.

In fact some of the vitriol from our own fans has been a lot worse. Forget bans, they would have had the players publically flogged if they could.

Every thread has been filled with 'it has nothing to do with the mentally challengeds, etc' then this thread is full of it.

Personally, I think players made a mistake and I'm pretty sure they won't make another so let's just get on with it and deal with it internally.

I'm not saying Thompson isn't a fanny, he clealy is but after what I have had to read from our fans, it seems a bit rich to slate his opinion which is the same of 80% of this board.

STEVEN THOMPSON insists the SFA should 'throw the book' at the five Rangers players who breached Covid-19 protocols.

Steven Gerrard confirmed today that Bongani Zungu, Nathan Patterson, Calvin Bassey, Dapo Mebude and Brian Kinnear had been fined by the club

And he revealed that the Light Blues were also in talks with the SFA and Scottish Government about the breach.

All five players were involved in an alleged Covid party which was busted in Glasgow in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police Scotland handed out fines to all those in attendance.

Now, ex-Rangers ace Thompson insists the SFA should throw the book at the players in question.

While he also admitted their actions had let everyone down and were "beyond comprehension".

Speaking on the BBC's Sportsound show, he said: "I think with what happened previously with the two Rangers players who did something earlier in the season, you'd have thought that Steven Gerrard and his backroom staff will have been over the course with the players and telling them - not that you need told - that they're high profile.

"Having played with Rangers, you can't really escape from the spotlight no matter where you are.

"Even if you think you're in somebody's house hiding, in the modern day with mobile phones and whatever else it's very difficult to try and pull something like that off.

"It's no surprise that they've been caught and I think they should throw the book at them.

"For me, I think it's completely unacceptable what they've done.

"I mean, is a fine enough? Is an internal fine enough for these players? I'm pretty sure the SFA will give them a ban of some sort.

"For me it's unthinkable that the players - given the privilege they have at this minute in time to be able to go out and do their job when everybody else isn't really able to do that - to go and throw it in the face of their club, of their supporters, of their manager and be caught out at a house party, it really defies logic.

"It's beyond comprehension."

Not really. That was fans talking about what punishment the CLUB should give the offending players, not the SFA. The SFA should really be letting them off with a slap on the wrist given they let Celtic off with going on a jolly to Dubai with an injured player (who tested positive) and returned with two covid ridden players. This hipster wank reckons the SFA should come down on our players like a ton of bricks in spite of the fact he had little to say when his paymasters were buggering off to another continent.

The facts so far this season .
1. St Mirren let their players sit together on busses , car share & sit together at meals . All against covid rules . Result covid positive tests & games postponed. NO suspensions .
2. Dundee Utd & Celtic both have squad photographs taken against covid rules . Result 10 Utd player’s having to isolate . NO fine or suspension.
3 Celtic player flying to Spain for 24 hours & plays next game with no isolating or test. Result 3 game ban .
Celtic player gets a girl from USA to stay for 2 weeks with no isolating or testing . Result no fine or suspension .
4 Celtic break all SFA rules on elite football teams staying in hotels .
No socialising after training . 8-10 Players photographed sitting in a bar together watching the football .
Teams require separate dining area . Players photographed in main dining area with other guests.
No mixing with other guests in communal areas. Players photographed at pool area with other guests .
Social distancing on coach travel . This was not followed, resulting in 10 players & 3 coaches having to isolate for 10 days .
Duffy broke the covid bubble & caught a commercial flight to London , Celtic then released a statement saying he would have to isolate for 10 days . He played 24 hours later against Hibs when 10 players were told to isolate after Dubai. Result NO suspensions or fines for ANY of these breaches.
2 Rangers players go to a party . Result 7 game bans
These players were idiotic, but all breaches of the rules need to be punished in the same way ,
 
I'm sure Thompson will have breached some of the Covid restrictions too, but not been caught.... maybe the BBC should throw the book at him. It's bound to have been drummed into him by his employer of what you can and can't do.
