BBC. All a liitle confusing. They say you can be banned for 4 matches, and another 4, but serve at the same time, so it's only a 4 match total? ? |

It is, of course, up to the judge to decide whether a sentence runs concurrently or consecutively. If the SFA did say on March 9 that sentencing for any future, uncommited crimes would be treated concurrently then they're complete muppets (note: I'm not ruling this out as a possibility). However, the tone of Celtic's statement seems more than a bit provocative:
Or, to paraphrase: "For the greater good we're going to bear this injustice, except we're not. And f*ck off." |

Celtic have got the flamboyant Paul McBride QC on their board, and he will no doubt have looked at this. I would not want to be on the opposite side of any legal argument with Mr McBride. Good luck Mr Regan. |

Hmmm. He's not actually on the Celtic board though is he and he's a criminal lawyer so his expertise is likely to be strictly limited on this sort of shit. And doesn't he lose most of his cases. And, isn't he completely full of shit when it comes to all things Celtic. A bit like the Celtic version of Donald Findlay except Findlay was actually on the board, and wins most of his cases and isn't shit. Similar in that they're both twats though. |

You sure about that? ETA: I'll give you the bit about being on the board, though. Edited by whatsthatonyourback, Mar 17 2011, 01:44 PM.

Yeah. You sure McBride's on the Celtic board? Well okay then. Edited by Ivan, Mar 17 2011, 01:48 PM.

SFA want 8. But
Isn't that kind of making it easy for them? |

Am I alone in thinking that there's a lot more heat than light in the media coverage of this matter? It might make more sense if we knew what the regulations actually said, what was communicated to Celtic and what cases the SFA intend to rely on to establish precedent. Instead we're getting 'he said, she said' with Chick Young pronouncing his legal wisdom from the back of the court. |

It seems to me we have it all already, unless either of McBride or the SFA are stating things that are inaccurate. There's nothing written down that states non-playing staff need to serve their suspensions consecutively, but that has been the habit up until now. The Celtics regard this as a loophole they want to squeeze Neil Lennon's buttered body through. I expect a revision of the SFA's rules on non-playing staff and how they serve suspensions, that's for sure. |

So we know it doesn't state that bans must run consecutively. What does it say about when they should run? And we know that Celtic are relying on the wording of the decision which was intimated to them. Does it state that the ban will commence no later than 14 days after the incident or no less than 14 days, or 14 days exactly? Etc. Likewise, the SFA are claiming that the consecutive nature is established by practice. Are there numerous examples all of which are on point? Or only one? Are the examples within the Scottish League? Do they concern players or managers? Are they extrapolating from practice in other fields? |

I must say, having read the regulations now, I'm minded to agree with Celtic on this one. I'd be surprised if there are any cases which are sufficiently similar to establish the sort of precedent the SFA would require. The SFA should wait until he's served his ban and then ban him again for being a massive c*nt. |

Isn't that what McBride was recommending the SFA to do?
I fear McBride's goading of his adversaries at the SFA is rather unbecoming of him, although entirely typical of his courtroom style. |

I think McBride was suggesting that the referee might seek to enforce the existing ban. What I'm proposing is that they lie low for a couple of weeks and then BAM! "What's that Mr Lennon, I'm an arsehole? And my wife takes it up the shitter, does she? We'll see what the disciplinary committee think of that". Right in the kisser! |
