Matthew Lindsay from the ET stirring things up again.

[Senna 735]

Contrary to the Charles Green statement, seeking arbitration over the SFA transfer embargo WAS an option available to Rangers.

The SFA have dismissed claims by Charles Green that Rangers were prohibited from appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The SFA have tonight stated that "any two parties can seek arbitration" and "no representation was made by the club to discuss possibility".

In short, it seems Rangers just had to pick up the phone and call the SFA to take the embargo issue to the Court of Arbitration for Sport

Make of that what you will. Someone really should have told Lord Glennie about this man though, he could have saved Scottish Football a whole load of bother.

It was one of the reasons the club put forward for going to CoS.

Surely we wouldn't have cocked that up

[Gaz92 966]

If this was the case, why wouldn't we have taken such a route?

We're obviously taking good legal advice from our QC, we couldn't be wrong.

[Silver Fox 167]

Anyone can dismiss claims---the rule book is quite clear.

STATEMENT--'' A RM spokesman dismissed claims that the SFA are not corrupt, also claims that the Evening Times is anything other than the biggest waste of money on the newspaper stand were dismissed by the general public ''.

[Senna 735]

Adding in more as they come. He's at it, or wanting to be the story rather than just reporting it.

[ScottBF2 3,540]

It wasn't an option, just like the Transfer Embargo wasn't.

[edtheger 6]

any two parties can agree to arbitration so the sfa would need to agree before rangers take that way out but we all know that was never gonna happen

[the goal machine 7,804]

Don't really see an issue here. Basically just quoting an SFA statement and taking their word for it.

Good link for this whole confusing CAS/COS saga. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/103918-why-rangers-court-win-against-the-sfa-raises-more-questions-than-answers/

[californiadreamin52 339]

Ass covering by the SFA to deflect their own incompetence was this ever mention at any hearings by the SFA.

[ray 105]

The below are statutes where the sfa recognise CAS, however the charges against The Rangers categorically deny any right of appeal, the judicial panels decision being final.

(a) observe the principles of

loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship

fair play;

(b) be subject to and comply

regulations, directives, codes,

Calendar promulgated by the

Board, the Non-Professional

Game Board, the Judicial Panel,

a Committee or sub-committee,

FIFA, UEFA or the Court of

Arbitration for Sport;

© recognise and submit to

the jurisdiction of the Court of

in the relevant provisions of

the FIFA Statutes and the UEFA

(d) respect the Laws of the Game;

Correct

[RFC55 109,147]

Well the judge says that according to section 5. something that we could not have went to CAS and guess what, that was in the SFA rules

But we should have 'picked up the phone', despite the rules stating that the decision of the Appeals Board shall be final and binding.

och fuck this post

Why would we pick up the phone we were barred from cas by the sfa club licensing laws.

It says in the rule book though tha some decisions need only a phone call to bypass the rules

[boss 1,941]

Dear Matthew

The SFA statement tonight says:

"the club was not 'prohibited from appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport', as was claimed."

Lord Glennie says:

"The matter is ... made clear by Rule 15.8.3.6 of the JPP... That excludes any appeal to the CAS."

I'll favour Lord Glennie over the skewed view of some trumped-up SFA minion.

Love from

Boss

I can't see there where it specifically says we're barred from contacting CAS.

Hope his next shite has glass in.

[boss 1,941]

Rule 1888(67) as inserted by Pedro Liewell whenever he feels like it, and especially when The Rangers have shafted the SFA, states: "You must pick up the phone to the SFA or I'll cry."

It does, honest.

[A.T.G 10,773]

The SFA should have went for Whyte and thats it

They turned it into a war when it was certainly warranted or needed
