Govan Front Antz 15 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The Scottish Football Association have appointed John Fleming as their new head of referee development. The former Category One official has held the post on a temporary basis since November, when Hugh Dallas resigned from the role.Fleming has been involved with refereeing in Scotland for 30 years, achieving Category One status in 1994 and fulfilling appointments as a FIFA assistant referee from 1994 to 1997.Latterly he held the position of referee development officer at the SFA, before stepping up to replace Dallas just over three months ago.In a statement on the SFA's website, Fleming spoke of his desire to help improve the standard of refereeing in Scotland. “I am immensely proud and grateful to have been given this opportunity,” he said.“There are a number of exciting initiatives on the horizon both for the Scottish FA and the Referee Development Department and it is my intention to help facilitate positive changes to benefit the referee fraternity and the game in general.”Stewart Regan, the SFA's chief executive, commented: “John brings a wealth of experience in refereeing and in the development and education sides of the game. He also has a wide of experience of working in business.“His role will be pivotal to the new Scottish FA strategic plan and his impact since taking the role in an acting capacity since November has been substantial.“I have received a number of positive comments from the refereeing fraternity and also from his colleagues within the Scottish FA and I am convinced he will be an asset to the organisation.” http://sport.stv.tv/football/scotland/232720-sfa-appoint-fleming-as-dallas-successor/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss 1,941 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Was already on our radar months ago Indeed he was - and we were accused of mopery by some. I've said it before, there is nothing that Liewell will not do, no depths to which he will not stoop, to win the league this year. Too many have been too slow in recognising that, and we're suffering now as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many have been too slow in recognising that, and we're suffering now as a result.Fleming was a name touted by Republicans immediately after Dallas resigned.No surprise to me and many others he got the job.And endorsed by McGiveshite ..that says it all as there is no way that bigoted cnut would ever endorse someone as wholeheartedly if he suspected any Rangers links.
