Who knew about the 100 Volunteers

Bear all

Well-Known Member
Is this the first time in all these years that we have learned about this set up or was it common knowledge because I have never heard of it,how many years has this being going on now .Surely the Club would have known how this mechanism worked .
 
Never heard of that. Never saw an advert. Was it in the Catholic Observer?

Hardly common knowledge.
 
They all said that volunteers were vetted by THREE officials. Who picked them and what were their criteria?
 
Last time I had heard I knew it was a panel of approximately 100 people but that they were all involved in the game in some way not that they were lawyers etc.
 
Like OJ's jury, I'm guessing these volunteers were hand selected by Lawell from members of his own extended family.
 
Am interview with Vincent lunny that's posted on another thread revealed that the panel who reviewed incidents was made up from 100 non paid volunteers after advertisements were placed in printed media.
 
For clarification

Jimmy Ping interviewed Vincent Lunny the original CO in 2014 at BBC Scotland HQ

First I’d seen interview today. Was posted on here this morning

Lunny said 100 volunteers replied to SFA newspaper advert allegedly

All 100 were taken from lawyers. Judges. Etc to be on panels reviewing citations from SFA re incidents referred to CO

First I’d heard of this. I thought it was ex referees who reviewed the footage to assess the dodgy challenges

How the f.uck can these 100 volunteers have the expertise to make calls on football challenges

The whole CO is a sham and the club cannot accept this to continue

Action has to be taken and our manager must be sitting there and looking at Scottish football and thinking it’s exactly what the English commentators make it out to be a cesspit and full of amateurs
 
Right few things:

No one has mentioned this officially.
These 100 volunteers don’t all review the footage, it’s just a panel of whoever’s available, I think?
 
The people who review the incidents

The Compliance officer has 100 volunteers who review the incidents he decides need looked into and they determine if any action is required as far as I can see,I have just found out about this today and was wondering was it common knowledge.
First I've heard of it, zero transparency as usual from the SFA

And how can you come to an agreement with 100 peoples input? Unless they have a voting button, after they review the evidence. This is a typical sfa cluster %^*&.

Which printed media and how has this guff never been picked by all factions of Rangers support on the internet from the off? Because there's a lot of sharp eyes out there on our side.

If you want to give me a one inch column on page 72 of the rhebel or evening tims after the contacts pages, feel free to do so.

Just the messenger mate I never heard of the advertising before . seems like a great idea how to hand pick the mindset needed

Baselbear hits the nail on the head here, who are the three officials that vet the 100 volunteers? They should be named because if that’s not public knowledge then the system is wide open to abuse. The only requirement for being one of the 100 people should be that they have passed the refs exam. How do we know that these lawyers etc on the list of volunteers aren’t low level paper gatherers?
 
So we have 100 unknown, unverified, untested people deciding what goes to the compliance officer?

How is that a fit and proper process?

It would be a real shame if a well known hacker group got access to the SFA servers and published lists and emails...
 
Think this needs to be transparent
Where and when was this advertised ?
Did we as a club know about this ?
 
So to be clear 100 unknown people report what needs to be looked at and not anyone like they told us?
 
This was another an open goal for the club. What are we doing? Why can't we come out and say we now believe there's too much secrecy around this process and it must be suspended now until the close season when work on a public process can begin.
