JRodgA2k8 542 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The Scottish FA is shocked and angry at coverage in today’s newspapers following an interview given by Paul McBride QC to BBC Scotland.Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan would like to make the following points:1. We note that Paul McBride does not act on behalf of or as a spokesman for Celtic FC' date=' its manager, or anyone associated with the club.2. In making his unjustified and inflammatory remarks, Paul McBride appears to be acting as a self-publicist and not as a QC.3. Paul McBride’s wild and inaccurate statements are defamatory and appear to be malicious.4. The Scottish FA is now considering, with the benefit of legal advice, [b']whether to sue just Paul McBride for damages or whether to also sue other parties. 5. A formal complaint is being made to the Faculty of Advocates with respect to the way in which Paul McBride has allowed himself to be held out as making comments to the media in his capacity as a QC.6. We are aware that many observers and members of the public would appreciate clarity on the decisions made at yesterday’s meeting of the Disciplinary Committee. It would be inappropriate to comment publicly on committee decisions until the seven-day time frame for any appeal has elapsed.http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2111&newsCategoryID=36&newsID=7602Other parties eh....I wonder who they could be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocky Broon 207 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 As I said yesterday let him carry on.All he is doing is alienating the SFA.Same goes for Lemmon whose new tactic, as he said on the BBC,is to urge the Media to tell it as they see it i.e support his version.This shite started in the Media last weekend with all the sympathetic reporting on Lemmon portraying him as a victim and so it continues.Rangers are doing the right thing at the moment by saying nothing.Let them hang them fucking selves.

The Gas Man 190 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I would absolutely love it if the SFA employed D.Finlay QC to represent them against this nondescript shitstirring wee boy botherer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes our governing body look beyond stupid.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmond7 1,085 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 What made them look beyond stupid was when they let Lemon serve his justifiable ban concurrently, when the allowed certain celtc players to get away with calling the referee's cheats, when they allowed one club - celtc - to force the referee's to go on strike. If the SFA have any balls at all, they'll take this fucker to the cleaners. But I expect it'll end up under the tims carpet with all their other shite.

archangel gabriel amato 240 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Tin hat on here!Paul McBride has been totaly used here by both them and the BBC as I have said in another thread the guy has no intrest in football whatsoever and in fact knows about as much as my grannys cat about it, what he is, is a very good lawyer and that is why they employed him. Now I'm not defending anything he has done or said but I do think it is rather shit how he is being exploited by the real scum in this country!

He's a lawyer who thrives on conflict and knows the score. Its his problem and I hope his career suffers. I wonder too if the Scottish Tories will distance themselves from him given these comments and his involvement with them, especially given the upcoming election Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
