SFA to block Rangers slashing Celtic ticket allocation for Scottish Cup clashes at Ibrox
The Ibrox side promised to cut the number of tickets given to their rivals from 8000 to just over 800.

Ian Maxwell won’t allow Rangers to lock Celtic supporters out of Ibrox if the feuding neighbours collide in next season’s Scottish Cup.
Rangers have promised to cut Celtic’s ticket allocation from 8000 to just more than 800 for league matches on their own ground next season. In a tit-for-tat move Celtic threatened to take similar action when Steven Gerrard’s side travel across the Clyde.
But under SFA rules, visiting clubs are entitled to 20 per cent of available seats for Scottish Cup ties.
Which would mean both clubs could demand more than 10,000 tickets for their fans should they be pulled out of the hat together before the semi-finals. And Maxwell has no intention of endorsing a lockout on away fans as he attempts to land a bumper TV deal for next season’s competition.
He said: “There is guidance in the rules, a minimum percentage.
“It is important that supporters get a chance to go and support their team.
“The SFA rules on crowd percentage have been in place for a while and there is no desire as far as I am aware to look at them.”

Total blödsinnige Schaumschlägerei.

Die Pokalspiele standen nie zur Debatte, aber Jackson geht voll auf Konfrontation: "wir kürzen Celtics Stadionanteil" (nein, den aller Vereine zugunsten unserer DKs!) Aber "die SFA wird das bei Pokalspielen verhindern!" ... obgleich die garnicht zur Debatte stehen.

Pressefreiheit in Schottland heißt, daß man jemanden der über Jahre hinweg mit Wissen des Vereins Kinder missbraucht hat, mit keinem Sterbenswörtchen erwähnt, schon garnicht dessen Verein und den Fakt, das dieser ihn nicht anzeigte. Nein, aber wenn mal einer bei uns war, den wir augenblicklich anzeigten und feuerten (was die Hibs nicht taten, obwohl sie es wußten), wird das so eingebaut, als wäre das bei uns Gang und Gebe gewesen. Man nennt sowas dann Verleumdung und es hat nichts mit dem zu tun, was eine neutrale Presse eigentlich tun sollte. Rechte haben sie alle, aber Pflicht zur ganzen Wahrheit vergessen sie mal eben ...

SFA face compensation claim from six survivors of alleged sex abuse who were 'failed miserably'

Lawyers accused the footballing body of a “wilful disregard” which allowed suspected paedophiles to prey on children, while victims blasted SFA chairman's apology.

ix survivors of alleged sexual abuse by football officials today announced they are suing the SFA for compensation.
Lawyers for the victims – who have given harrowing accounts of their ordeals – accused the footballing body of a “wilful disregard” which allowed suspected paedophiles to prey on children.
One survivor said the SFA must take care of those it had “already failed miserably”.
Thompsons Solicitors, representing the six, said they are sending the Scottish Football Association paperwork for the civil damages action.
Legal sources said the SFA could face a multi-million-pound settlement over the court claims.

The legal bid comes just days after SFA chairman Ian Maxwell offered a “heartfelt” apology to youngsters who suffered sex abuse while under their care.
Maxwell delivered his message to survivors as interim findings from a review into historical abuse were published last week.
The review found football’s child protection policies were “not fit for purpose”.
Thompsons said it was the SFA’s “professional duty” to put in place safeguards they “failed completely in that duty”.
Peter Haynes, who previously told how he was abused by SFA official and coach Hugh Stevenson, who died in 2004, is among the claimants.

Peter said Stevenson subjected him him to a three or four year campaign of sexual abuse, including rape, from 1979.
He said: “SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell has told the country he believes his organisation’s child protection
policies are a success.
“I have asked him to clarify his statement. He has not as yet agreed to this. The hurt his statement caused to myself, my family and other survivors is beyond measure.
“How on Earth can they say they haven’t failed children in the past?
“Mr Maxwell says the SFA want a world-class child safety policy. That should begin with taking care of those it has already failed miserably.”
Fellow Thompsons client John Cleland has told how he was abused by Rangers and Hibs football coach Gordon Neely, who died in 2014.

John said he was subjected to 18 months of serious sexual abuse aged 11 in Edinburgh in the early 80s.

John said “The SFA are responsible for making sure that those coaching
our children are people we can trust yet they completely failed me and
my family.

“I now wait to see if their words admitting their failings are backed up by action.

“I sincerely hope that other survivors abused in Scottish football now feel able to come forward to have their voices heard.”

Patrick McGuire of Thompsons said: “As the body in charge of Scottish
football at all levels, the SFA is responsible for the welfare of
children taking part in our game.

“It is to the SFA’s complete and utter shame that, due to their
incompetence and at times wilful disregard, criminals of the worst kind
preyed on youngsters who only wanted to play football.

“The legal action for compensation that my firm is undertaking on behalf
of our clients is part of the process of seeking justice and it’s one
that I expect the SFA to take very seriously and settle promptly.”

Ex-Paisley youth football coach accused of catalogue of historic child sex abuse
Janine Rennie, chief executive of the charity Wellbeing Scotland, said:
“Survivors were disbelieved and ignored by the authorities for years but
they are taking back control and now the SFA have admitted their
terrible failings.”

Maxwell said recommendations from last week’s report would be
implemented but stressed Scottish football was “a safe place for
children”.

The independent review – set up 18 months ago by the SFA – found
systemic gaps that still leave children at risk, and ruled that there
was a shortfall in money and resources to tackle the issue.

The final version of the report is being withheld until criminal proceedings
are concluded.

By last November, Police Scotland said almost 300 crimes had been recorded during a year-long probe.

Officers identified 153 victims and arrested and charged 13 people with offences relating to historic child sexual abuse.

A spokesman for the SFA said they could not comment on the legal action as they hadn’t received the paperwork from Thompson’s.

James Anderson: Celtic fan who went missing after work night out in Glasgow found dead in River Clyde

A YOUNG Celtic fan who went missing after a night out in Glasgow has been found dead in the River Clyde.

James Anderson, from Johnstone, had been in the City Centre on Tuesday night with workmates.
The 20-year-old’s dad Joe raised the alarm on Facebook the following day.

In his desperate plea for information, Joe had written on Facebook: “This is my son James Anderson. He went on a work’s night out on Tuesday night to Glasgow and hasn’t been seen since.
“We have had no contact from James which isn’t like him. We are extremely worried. If anyone can help, please contact myself or his mum Sharon. Or the police on 101 as they are aware of the situation. Thanks.”
However, breaking the devastating news a short time later, Joe said: “I can’t believe I am having to write this but, unfortunately, it’s been confirmed James has passed away.

“Enquiries are still ongoing as to exactly what has happened. On behalf of myself, James’ mum and the rest of the family, we all appreciate the kind words and help from everyone.”
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said the death is currently being treated as “unexplained.”

She added: “At 10.25am on Wednesday, October 24, the body of a 20-year-old man was discovered in the River Clyde, close to Glasgow Green.
“A postmortem examination will take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death.
“A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Tributes to the Celtic fan quickly started to pour in with around 600 people expressing their condolences to Joe on Facebook.

Chris Jack: Holyrood laws punishing clubs and ordinary football fans won't solve Scotland's societal ills

[Blockierte Grafik: https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk…images/3793918?type=thumb]

By Christopher Jack @Chris_Jack89 Group Senior Sports Writer

WHEN the solution to problem is a one size fits all quick fix, you know you don’t actually have the answer. Not really.

Yes, you can be seen to be doing something, anything, but by the time
your plan is put in place and you realise it doesn’t really work, it is
too late.

Where the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act led, legislation that
implements strict liability could now follow if some, including James
Dornan MSP,
who championed it in SportTimes this week, have their way. The last
thing that the Scottish FA and SPFL need is interference from Holyrood,
though.

Football supporters have little enough faith in the Scottish FA and SPFL as it is without a divisive Government sticking its nose in. Our game doesn’t need party politics.

The idea that the OBFA would transform Scotland’s
issues with sectarianism was flawed from the beginning and the notion
that punishing clubs will stop misbehaviour within elements of their
support is equally as mistaken.

Lifting football supporters out of the stands or barging through their
front doors at dawn won’t change attitudes on either side of the
religious divide.

And shutting stands or docking points from teams won’t prevent the
mindless and the moronic from embarrassing themselves or dragging the
names of their club and their fellow fans through the mud.

Football may give a platform to imbeciles, but Ministers should be
wondering why they have their mentality in the first place. Forget what
colours they wear, what is it about their schooling, their upbringing,
their lifestyle, that means they think it is acceptable to behave in
such a manner?

The overwhelming percentage of supporters are fair and law-abiding and
there is not suddenly a crisis in Scottish football. Penalising the
majority for the actions of the minority through strict liability isn’t
the way forward, but naming, shaming and punishing those that step out
of line, within current legislative framework, is.

Look at Celtic.
UEFA have handed down that many fines over the last few years that
Peter Lawwell would be as well setting up a direct debit straight to
Nyon.

The Hoops
have been punished for everything from pyrotechnics to Palestinian
flags to pitch invaders. Fans were fully aware of what would happen
under those strict liability rules, but they still acted in a manner
that ensured their club was in the dock once again.

If the threat of fines, deductions or stadium closures was enough of a
deterrent, then UEFA would never have a case to look at because fans
across Europe would behave appropriately week in week out.

The type of idiot that thinks it is acceptable to throw a coin at a
linesman, manager or player shouldn’t be inside a ground. Neither should
those who sprayed ‘hang Neil Lennon’ outside Tynecastle or hung
effigies of Rangers supporters and Orangemen from the Parkhead stands.

The mindset that leads people to such cowardly and crass acts cannot
be comprehended but they are society’s problem as much as football’s and
the game shouldn’t suffer because of Scotland’s ills.

Calum Spence didn’t deserve to be attacked during Livingston’s game
with Rangers, and neither did Neil Lennon or keeper Zdenek Zlamalat
Tynecastle or Alfredo Morelos at St Mirren this week.

If you believe that the motive behind the assault on Lennon was
racism, then surely there will be an equal condemnation of the incident
involving Colombian striker Morelos? Was Morelos targeted because of his
colour or, as is more likely and as many believe in the Lennon
and Zlamal cases, because an idiot with a short fuse and nothing between
his ears lost whatever modicum of sense he had and took it out on the
figure he hated in that instant?

How about the shameful abuse that Nacho Novo has had to endure whilst
he was at Rangers and in the years since he retired? Is that a
bitterness towards the Spanish or a football rivalry taken to the
extreme and to completely abhorrent levels?

Were all of those incidents just moments of madness and unhinged
stupidity by people that should not only be banned from the game but
feel the full force of the Law? Or signs of deeper troubles within our
country that can’t possibly be addressed by taking three points off in
the Premiership?

Scotland’s problems - with sectarianism, violence and alcohol – are
real and serious but they won’t be solved by targeting football. There
is only so much that clubs can control, only so many times they can
condemn.

The victims in these incidents are the innocent parties. The perpetrators are the only ones that should be punished, though.

Und natürlich flattert Ciaran gleich auf Twitter daher und behauptet, daß unsere Darstellung nicht stimmt. Ach ja, die Reporter ... ich kenne so einige, die sind richtig normal. Aber es gibt leider ungemein viele, die sich so verhalten wie oben und "immer im Recht sind".

Der Ibrox Blogger des Daily Record - einst bei Rangers Media (ne Webseite, nicht vom Verein) hat sich mal über die Schwafelattacken des Wochenendes geäußert:

It's time Rangers star Alfredo Morelos got credit he deserves and he'll fire club to 55 - James Black
Our Ibrox blogger believes neither Rangers nor the Colombian are getting the plaudits they should be.

Rangers returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership on Sunday after an enthralling 2-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle - and the immediate aftermath felt as though the Gers had never been away.

With little over 60 hours having passed after the final whistle in Thursday's Europa League draw with Villareal, Steven Gerrard's
side put in a dogged shift to secure the three points in the capital and it instantly set many of Scottish football's talking heads into
meltdown.

Anyone who tuned in to BT Sport yesterday lunchtime would have been forgiven for thinking they had tuned into a weird hybrid of Celtic's and Hearts' club TV channels as Michael Stewart raved about the seemingly once-in-a-lifetime performance of the mononymic Christophe at the heart of the Jambos' defence while Rob McLean delivered his commentary with the enthusiasm of a man on his way to his own execution.

The action on the pitch was, yet again, a fantastic advert for the Scottish game with a fantastic atmosphere at Tynecastle, a few tasty
challenges, an own goal, a red card, a cracking strike from Alfredo Morelos(offside or not it was still a helluva finish from the Colombian) and the sort of tension at the end of the game that had Rangers fans on the edge of their seats waiting for the final whistle.

Despite that, almost all of the post-match discussion has been focused on two decisions made by referee Bobby Madden.

Morelos' winner was the first big talking point with Stewart and co going to great lengths to highlight the officials' error which allowed
the Gers to pick up the win. There's no doubt the 22-year-old was just offside when he expertly hooked the ball home. Weirdly though, there
seemed to be far more objection to the officials getting it wrong than there has been on the several occasions so far this season when Rangers have found themselves on the other end of a mistake from an official resulting in a goal.

Maybe McLean and Stewart think it's their duty to hold Scottish officials to a higher standard than their continental counterparts but
to the viewer at home, it only comes across as petty and bitter.

Then there was Scotty Arfield's red card.
Listening to some of the comments after game, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Arfield had stamped on Bobby Zlamal's head in some
horrific out-take from American History X. Yes, the Canadian international was late with his challenge but the vast majority of fans
would be shouting the odds if their side found themselves in a similar position and didn't challenge for the ball.

Comically, BT Sport had a referee at Hampden for the League Cup final clash later that afternoon and when asked for his opinion, he said it
was only worthy of a booking.

BT never returned to that opinion and instead, McLean and Stewart continued with their 'horror challenge' line. I can only guess here but,
had the ref at Hampden said it was a red card, I'd bet everything I own on the commentary team making repeated reference to it throughout the remainder of the game.

It didn't get much better in the hours following the final whistle.While lunacy has become expected in the world of Scottish fitba Twitter,
Super Scoreboard's Hugh Keevins took it to unprecedented levels when he suggested that Arfield's challenge was a particularly bad one "given that there was such a high level of concern over the head injury to Gary Mackay-Steven" in the League Cup final.

I wouldn't pretend to be an expert on such matters but, by my watch, GMS' injury happened a couple of hours after Arfield had been sent off
at Tynecastle. Not to mention there virtually no similarities between the two whatsoever.

With all the gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands going on, there was barely a mention of Morelos scoring in his seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership game to equal David Clarkson's record. The 22-year-old has been immense this season for Gerrard's side and somehow doesn't get anywhere near the credit he should for his performances.

I said earlier this year that when the Colombian does eventually move on from Ibrox that it will be for more than Celtic received for Moussa
Dembele. Plenty scoffed at the time but at the rate he's currently going, it won't be long until Rangers have a massive decision on their
hands over Morelos' future.

Before then though, I wouldn't bet against the striker from riling up defenders and pundits across the country as he fires the Gers to title
number 55.

Comment: Vile behaviour shames fans on both sides at Ibrox

By Andrew Smith

It doesn’t matter about the split of the supports when Rangers and Celtic meet. Some of those in attendance will invariably induce queasiness about how low they are willing to stoop and yesterday proved no different with all but 750 in the stadium roaring on the home team. Celtic’s reduced backing did not prevent their fans deliberately disrupting the minute’s silence to remember the victims of the Ibrox disaster with a cacophony of mock coughs. When shouts from the Rangers support – which included one of “you f***** terrorist-supporting scum” – also began to puncture the air in response, referee John Beaton blew to end the minute’s silence after under 30 seconds.

It goes without saying that the Rangers support regularly belted out anti-Catholic anthems, but they also held up banners relating to the Celtic Boys’ Club child abuse scandal in the form of “Big Jock knew” – which relates to unsubstantiated claims that the late Celtic manager Jock Stein had alleged knowledge of the abusers’ actions – while at various stages chanting “paedos” 
in reference to the recent convictions.

However, they also had new dirt to dish with a ditty mocking the personal and mental health issues that have forced Leigh Griffiths to take time out of the game. Bellowed round the ground at intervals came a song exhorting “f*** Leigh Griffiths, you won’t be playing football any more”. Maybe one day they should consider playing these derbies behind closed doors to spare the rest of us such vile behaviour.

Der "arme und bedauernswerte Griffiths", dessen üble Gesten im Ibrox letzte Saison, das Provozieren unserer Fans dort wie auch nach dem Sieg im ersten Spiel sind völlig normal gewesen ähem, vergessen mein ich. Und das Big Jock Stein nicht nur angeblich sondern auch in Wirklichkeit von den Missbräuchen in seinem Verein wußte, kann der Autor bei diversen Celtic-Größen nachfragen, oder eben einfach an dem Fakt festmachen, daß er den Hauptangeklagten feuerte (und später wiedr durch die Hintertür an Bord holte). Aber Fakten und Tatsachen werden in der Welt des Celtic-Universums eher schwammig und dehnbar ...

Wie geschrieben, ließ sich Chris Sutton über das Unvermögen der SFA aus, Morelos nicht nachträglich zu bestrafen. Die Aktionen einiger Yahoos in diesem oder anderen Spielen fallen wie üblich unter den Tisch.

Zitat von Daily Record via FF

Rangers wrote a letter slaughtering Willie Collum. Will they now be sending John Beaton a note of gratitude?

Make no mistake, the referee and the SFA, have done the Ibrox club a massive favour by letting Alfredo Morelos off the hook.

They’ve also made Scottish football look like a stitch up.

A friend of mine called on Thursday afternoon after the decision was announced and said, ‘I know there are all these conspiracies in Scottish football, but letting Morelos off just makes it looks like the SFA want Rangers to win the league’.

I had no answer to him. What could I say? That’s exactly what it looks like.

Look, this is not a case sour grapes. I said in my column earlier in the week. Rangers were the better team, they deserved to win the match and Morelos is the best striker in the league

Take nothing away from Rangers, their performance was exceptional.

But any sane supporter in Scotland will admit Morelos was extremely fortunate to stay on the pitch. Simple as that.

If they had applied the rules correctly then El Buffalo would have been on the end of three separate red cards

That means three bans, six games, or even more if they pushed him through the disciplinary points totting up threshold.

But yet again it looks like the SFA have bottled it.

They know there would have been a huge outcry from Ibrox, but if that’s the reason Beaton has stuck to his guns then it’s either cowardice or corruption, take your pick.

Given the Rangers reaction to the Daniel Candeias red card at St Mirren when they flamed Collum, you have to wonder if the SFA were scared of a similar response this time around.

If so, that is completely wrong. It’s miles off. That decision was a poor one but it doesn’t mean you don’t judge every subsequent one on
their own merits.

How the heck can Beaton say he saw the three incidents and didn’t deem any of them to be red cards? It’s unbelievable

This carry on sends out the wrong message about Scottish football – yet again.

What are we dealing with here, the Wild West? Is it a case of anything goes?

Beaton and the SFA are effectively telling everyone in the game it’s okay to boot a rival player in the nuts.

There’s no probem grabbing someone’s private parts – unless you are Steven MacLean.

It’s fine if you want to stamp on someone.

That’s what the SFA are telling the kids in Scotland who are looking to make their way in the game.

It’s preposterous and genuinely alarming. These are the kind of decisions that are not just influencing young people, they are making
Scottish football a laughing stock beyond its own borders.

How will clubs entice players to come north of the border when the game looks completely lawless up here?

Come on up lads, the league is exciting and competitive, but, be careful, you might get the odd boot in the b******s.

It’s beyond a joke.

This is not even the first time this season the disciplinary system has fallen apart. It’s been happening all year.

You go back to the Morelos red card at Aberdeen being overturned, the Mikey Devlin sending off, Gary Dicker, Allan McGregor kicking out at Kris Ajer, the list is going on and on.

The buffoonery of the beaks is off the scale and the lot of them should resign in shame.

The bungling referees, the ex-ref old boys network, the compliance officer – clearly none of them are fit for purpose

They should all walk for being completely stupid. It doesn’t matter if it’s a player for Rangers, Celtic or whoever, right minded people have a handle on what is right an wrong.

Beaton will have had the chance to watch the incidents again, slow them down and analyse them properly.

To come away with the same conclusion is beyond belief and the SFA should have the ability to step in and deal with the situation properly
if the referee is unwilling or unable to take the responsibility.

It would have been a travesty if Celtic got anything from the game last week.

But it’s a bigger travesty Morelos has managed to get off scot free.
