The compliance officer to review Bomber’s comments

What cave was the Compliance Officer down at every scum AGM when their directors openly criticise match referees in a public meeting in responding to shareholder questions.
Any disciplinary v Brown should be backed up with video evidence showing decisions by the usual suspects against us and for any other team a prime one for me would be Alfie's nudge on Plug for Clancy to chop off a goal but him ignoring a two hand shove on Nixcky Clark at the Piggery with a clear view preventing a goal scoring opportunity no pen nor a red card. Throw in his decisions in 2-1 OF game that we managed to win against all odds. The events involving Walsh would make War & Peace looks like a pamphlet.
I just hope when the Yanks complete the Takeover someone on the peripheral of the Club and streetwise can give them a heads-up on the real goings on in Scotland both in a sporting and political sense and where we rank as a PUL community with their bigotry towards Rangers FC and to be prepared and hope they have Sports aLawyers on speed dial.

Why was this statement not made through official channels? It’s a decent enough response, but there was no need for it to come from an anonymous spokesperson via the media. If the club truly stands by it, publish it on the official website and have it signed off by the CEO. Or is this just another example of something he’s too weak and spineless to do?

it is an official statement
 
A sensible response from the club...... eventually.....however I feel the statement should have been made before the SFA resurrected the compliance officer. We tend to be reactive rather than proactive with our PR and that's with a new man in place

What possible jurisdiction does the compliance officer have over Brown?

He made it clear it was his personal opinion and is a freelance commentator.

I suspect this will quietly disappear because there would be a giant can of worms ready to spill all over the carpets of the SFA and some pretty obvious bias needing to be explained

This. You would imagine people would need to be registered under the SFA guidelines, ie players, managers, coaches, board members etc before they could take any action against any individual.

In other words, they can do %^*& all towards Brown. He doesn’t even have to answer to them or attend any meetings or anything. In fact, he should follow up his comments in the press and explain in detail exactly why they are corrupt.
 
The Herald article didn't even have the name of the Compliance Officer. In these days of SFA / SPFL secret committees it might be possible that the Compliance Officer has been generated by AI, it would certainly be cheaper than paying somebody to do the job.
 
I'm guessing this 'review' will end up like the Tom Boyd one and the 'anyone but Celtic' conspiracy documentary filmed in parkhead, featuring club ambassadors like Boyd and the old guy who was a sub goalie once for them?

Never to be heard about again...

Thanks for proving my point. Look at their first 2 goals.

Propper lunging at a weak shot from Taylor and deflecting it in.
Raskin (much improved since then) and Balogun allowing Maeda in, Butland nutmegged.

2 goals that were absolutely avoidable with better defenders/keeper.

The 2 massive wrong decisions would never have been a factor if we didn't concede these easy goals.
(these being Cerny tripped by Scales and Dio tripped by Kuhn at the 3rd goal - another chance which incidentally they should never have had if we defended properly).

Not saying the refereeing/VAR decisions are not a massive issue - they are - but if there is a focus among the guys who run the club, it is getting a manager and signing better players.

We should be able to focus on recruiting a manager and better players while also rebutting unfair criticism and highlighting errors and consistencies. Any robust organisation should be able to do more than one thing at once. I don't think there's any basis to conclude properly responding to this issue (and any related issues) will somehow diminish our recruitment of a manager/coaching staff and players.
 
If John Brown is wrong, why do we keep having massive officiating errors go against us?

If it’s simply that the officials themselves aren’t performing to the levels required, what is the SFA doing to improve these?

Remember: Collum told us in the wake of the League Cup final penalty fiasco that he was already working hard to improve the performance of his officials.

So is Tom Boyd getting investigated still ?

Time to grow some balls Patrick Stewart and go to any hearing with Bomber with a top KC in tow and a video dossier of incidents against us

As I mentioned before

The LCF non penalty award and Saturday VAR corruption

Time to make a stand and fight back

The SFA will shite themselves if we go in with a top notch KC
Click to expand...

We could also fire it specifically at Walsh.

Dundee Utd Diomandé Red that VAR told him to look at & he wouldn’t back down.

SCF Raskin foul at the sima.

Totally ignoring the Griffiths stamp on the Accies player on the ground years ago.

Plenty more I’m sure.
 
Questions need to be asked big time - they've got it wrong so many times this season alone it cannot be considered just an occasional mistake. Especially considering some of the decision they have gotten wrong have been SO wrong it's unreal. I do like the idea of asking the question about whether the other clubs have their media monitored so closely as well - especially the need to pick on one person being frustrated. Especially since Tom Boyd had numerous meltdowns and why would Sutton's bullshit not count as well then and even perhaps Michael Stewart.

Rangers need to go to town on the SFA. They are cheats, they are corrupt and most definitely not fit for purpose.

Apologies if I am repeating someone else. But, regarding club TV, did we not have the situation where Irving Welsh (Sp?) quite 0penly talk about killing huns or something similar on air. What was the decision of the CO on that situation?
Surely like refereeing mistakes, VAR mistakes, missile throwing, hurty songs etc, we are not again the exception to the rule? People would think its corrupt if it that was the case and someone should say so!! Oh wait!
 
That statement by Rangers actually gives the CO an easy way out of this.

They (the corrupt SFA/SPFL) will now say the matter was looked into and deemed not worthy of any further investigation.

What we should have done was present written and video evidence of why John Brown said what he did, and give them a case to answer, not anyone associated with us.
 
Ok

your missing the point,we can address those bad playing moments but we cannot stop the rot in the referees decisions can we.

"Especially considering some of the decision they have gotten wrong have been SO wrong it's unreal."

We had two VAR officials didn't even know the actual rule regarding not awarding us a penalty in the final. Sadly your point is 100% correct but, they can usually hide behind the subjectivity shite!!! I didn't see it as 'deliberate'' or over the line' etc,. It's wrong but it allows them to get away with it. That single decision to deny us a penalty wasn't subjective in anyway. They didn't know the rules apparently. Two of them, with time to think. and replays to reinforce that the correct decision was made. It wasn't, which was disgraceful. Apparently the refereeing boss knew the rule but he is too important to get involved in a cup final. That was the evidence that swung my opinion.
It stinks from top to bottom. I desperately hung on to incompetence and got pelters on here. I was wrong its planned and managed corruption against the club.

What did happen to that as did he not claim some “cheated” but no follow up from Celtic tv of it’s his views.

Rangers should be asking the SFA and league how they are not “corrupt” when officials clearly make wrong decisions and there is no consequences when it’s clear they never followed process.

AR on Saturday was also same as Tannadice when Diomande was sent off.

Sterling's ridiculous booking in SCF.

Dallas was also VAR at Pittodrie when Curtis cross was ruled over the line.





In the last Rangers-Celtic game, Celtic's goal should have went to review.

The linesman flagged for offside.

VAR (Dallas and pal) decided Maeda was onside on the wing - correct.

When Idah shot, Maeda was back in an offside position. No "lines" could give an audit trail for this.

Factually - Maeda was offside.

So, it should have been up to Walsh to decide whether Maeda was interfering with Kelly's vision. This was a subjective decision. Only Walsh could have made that.

Not necessarily the wrong decision but I am sure the correct protocol wsn't followed.

It'll be interesting to see how they actually plan on proving he's said anything wrong.

Please let the 49ers go for these rats by the throat.

As I've said before.
They don't have to prove anything.
If anyone will be asked to prove that something he said is true it will be JB
It's amazing how many people can't get that.

If the polis charge you with something they have to prove it. You don't have to prove anything.
Bomber is the accuser here.

Exactly, basically admitting that they are guilty of it, so where was he then and after that fiasco at the weekend!? We need out of this backwater league somehow. I sincerely hope the 49ers find a way to get us into a Euro Super League or something. The football in this country is corrupt to the core.

I don't mind them giving themselves a day before making a statement, would have saved them the embarrassment of the Souness Tifo situation.

It's a good response.

Unless their expenses cover RTV, I reckon they’ve watched on Firestick.

Thank goodness for that, he isn’t wrong, at all.

Would be good if the club came out and said they do not have a subscription for Rangers TV and therefore they must have been viewing the game using an illegal method and we have reported the matter to the police.

See the celtic statement in the Boyd article as a reference point to what we should do.

I would give Bomber permission to ragdoll him out Ibrox if he doesn't get backed

I expect the same outcome as this ‘review’.

Tom Boyd's comments about referee reviewed by SFA compliance officer

The SFA compliance officer is to review comments made by former Celtic captain Tom Boyd about John Beaton during Saturday's match against Dunfermline.

What was the outcome after investigation by Compliance Officer.

Also I remember Irvine Walsh on Hibs TV making utterly reprehensible comments about Rangers supporters.
Not sure whether compliance officer got involved.

We can the sign the very best player's and have the very best manager in the dugout. We could also be one of the most successful professionally ran football clubs in the land, yet against this litany of corrupt,bent cheating match officials it would count for nothing!!.

We have been fucked over by these fuckers for years now. As mentioned in another post on this thread I hope the Americans have some form of PR strategy or even better legal strategy to force changes because its long overdue.
 
Remember when Boyd was on Scum TV saying how folk would be lining up in the Crown Bar to buy John Beaton a pint? What was the outcome of that?
