Ric Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I've got no problem with him on the board, what I would have a problem with is he started to push through changes that are aimed at specifically assisting Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffythemeadowslayer Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can't see that happening . Other board members wouldn't allow. Just make it a level playing field now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Doncaster, Regan and Ogilvie everyone on the board is associated with a club, you could easily say the same about each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can't see that happening . Other board members wouldn't allow. Just make it a level playing field now. I didn't see it being a particularly uneven playing field that has been levelled. Small to medium sides are not represented on the board. Apart from Doncaster, Regan and Ogilvie everyone on the board is associated with a club, you could easily say the same about each of them. While Doncaster, Regan and Ogilvie have been massive failures in their posts none of them are chairman of clubs they are representing. It's an analogy that doesn't add up imo.

captain kirk Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I've got no problem with him on the board, what I would have a problem with is he started to push through changes that are aimed at specifically assisting Celtic.True , there's no doubt he's done an excellent job for Celtic and it makes sense to have someone who's has the experience of running the biggest club in the country at the helm .No doubt the zombies will be foaming at the mouth at this but then they have no problems with ex 20 year EBTtastic former rangers board member Ogilvie at the SFA or Sandy (key evidence in favour of Rangers in the LNS enquiry )Bryson there either.

Not just Lawwell, This is the main board, which contains; Regan, Ogilvie, McRae, Petrie, Johnston (Juniors) and Jackson (non footballing representative). I don't know where you got that list of people from. True , there's no doubt he's done an excellent job for Celtic and it makes sense to have someone who's has the experience of running the biggest club in the country at the helm . He has done a good job considering the example of their neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Maybe they've already done some background checks on Lawwell, making sure he's a fit and proper person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 He's listed the SFA Professional Game Board. There are 2 under-boards which replaced the old committee structure (except for specialist commitees such as Licensing, Referees and Medical)... these are the Professional Game Board and the Non-Professional Game Board. SFA Professional Game Board used to comprise the SFA Office Bearers (Regan Ogilvie McRae Petrie) plus 3 reps from SPL, 2 reps from SFL, and 1 rep from HFL. Now it's 5 reps from SPFL plus the Lowland League has a rep. Notably this has led to 3 top-tier clubs plus Doncaster taking-up seats, before it was Doncaster + Topping + Lawell. SFA Non-Professional Game Board has 1 rep from each of the national associations (Youth, Amateurs, Schools, etc.) and 1 from EOS and SOS leagues. SFA Main Board comprises the 4 SFA Offices Bearers, an 'independent' rep - currently someone from a brewing company who presumably knows Regan - and 1 man from each of the sub-boards. Non-Professional Rep is Tom Johnstone (Scottish Juniors)/Professional Rep was Topping IIRC but now Lawell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=12443&newsCategoryID=1 Yeah, you have just copied and pasted the "professional board", this is not that. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_football.cfm?page=2560 The main Board consists of seven members: the Office Bearers (Stewart Regan, Chief Executive; Campbell Ogilvie, President; Alan McRae, First Vice-President, and Rod Petrie, Second Vice-President), plus Ralph Topping (SPL), Tom Johnston (Junior FA) and Barrie Jackson, the Scottish FA’s first-ever independent non-executive director. Maybe they've already done some background checks on Lawwell, making sure he's a fit and proper person. Maybe this is looking like I am claiming he will show some level of bias. I'm not. Although he does have previous for berating the league and other clubs who have not agreed with his minority point of view. The problems with the league is the gap between the OF and the rest of the clubs, this we all know, and with that it means the changes that the OF want tend to either be of no advantage or quite some disadvantage to others (the ability of clubs to go on glamour friendlies once the league has started is a perfect example).

T_S_A_R Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 lawell has never shown any willingness to do anything for the overall good of scottish football and has actively blocked measures like voting rights and income split which would improve the game. he is going to represent celtic on the sfa board but i doubt he will do much damage. it's probably smart for the sfa to have him onboard, it might make him think twice about undermining the refs to the extent they go on strike again.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 A couple of hilariously uninformed rants from Sevco 'tards appeared in my FB newsfeed earlier, I'd just assumed it was the standard paranoia until reading the article.
