According to The Times, the SFA has still not responded to Celtic’s request for an inquiry into a decade of Old Rangers deliberate and systemic cheating in Scottish football.
The club made their concerns known and have asked for a FULL judicial review into what one journalist called the biggest ever scandal in the history of UK sport. However, the SFA have been coy to respond with personal statements coming out from different members of the organisation since the biggest court in the land ruled in-favour of HMRC with regards to the years of Tax abuse by the Ibrox club.
The money the club saved on cheating the tax man enabled them to field many players they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to afford – not our words, but words of their former manager Alex McLeish during the EBT era. Big ‘Eck went one further and said they wouldn’t have been able to compete with Celtic if they hadn’t deployed the scheme.
Contrary to fact based evidence, the calls from many in the media to just sweep this whole scandal under the carpet and play the role of a cartoon police officer, waving everyone along ‘There’s nothing to see here’ mentality. Many of the people tasked with holding the men in power to account in the Scottish game have either been posted missing or berate anyone who dare keep bringing it up. Let’s move on; we need to heal – I’m no doctor but how can a patient begin to heal if you’ve not sutured the wounds that were inflicted in the first place. Sticking a plaster over a gun shot wound does nothing to help when the bullet is still very much lodged inside the victim.
There are even Celtic fans willing to give up the fight in the face of being subjected to constant ridicule just because they would like the cheats to be held to account. Luckily, there is a battle hardened band of well-informed people, more informed than myself, that keep fighting to hold not only the cheats to account but also the individuals who have been aiding and abetting the cheats.
This will be fought every step of the way with statements, threats, regular ridicule and distortion of the truth.
When you see other sports coming down hard on cheaters on a regular basis, it’s rather galling having to fight for justice within our own game.
Let’s heal the wounds and restore confidence in Scottish Football.
Chris union Jack over at the Evening Times deletes every reference to the new club and the continuity myth despite his paper admitting the old Huns died after 140 years of history and tax dodging.
Great observation about some Celtic fans wilting in the face of perceived ridicule. This is s common tactic of the hun, when people speak of famines and injustice of discrimination and prejudice they are called the ‘ mopes’ i.e. Most oppressed people ever . When one questions bias that has favoured them then you are paranoid , when you pursue them over wrongdoings, lies and rule breaking you are then obsessed. Thankfully that won’t stop people looking for answers and craving justice. Rangers have cheated and those in media, in officialdom or in the game are complicit in that by either ignoring it or pretending it makes no difference. Scotland , eh?
Fact,The Hun Mentality is and Always will be,Scotlands Shame.Media SFA are All part and parcel of the problem that wreaks from our Game.The Stench is Nauseatingly Boke Worthy Only a Liquified Rankers would claim Same Club BS.They died in 2012.The whole World is witness to this Scummy Clubs wrong doing Yet they,d Brass Anything……
What are the Celtic board afraid of ????
A letter to UEFA is long overdue and now that the SFA have told everyone including Celtic to get lost draft one now.If this is not fourthcoming then every single one from owners to management and fans will be supporting a corrupt organisation.
Wee note,I was listening to scoreboard and the discussion was whether all of Scottish football should ACCEPT corruption and move on.They then talked about 2012 and tried to say that the clubs supporters will not do what they did in 2012…in 2012 they threatend their owners if sevco were allowed into the premier league they would withdraw their support.Guess what they got what they wanted and I have been saying for months that this would be the way to cleanse the corrupted SFA.
