The Statement Thread


Recommended Posts

With the latest Scottish Football statement being a cracker I thought it was only fitting to have a dedicated topic for all statements.

Rangers have released this statement (https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/daniel-candeias/)  in light of Daniel Candeias not getting his red card rescinded -

CLUB RESPONSE TO SCOTTISH FA’S DECISION TO DISMISS OUR APPEAL:

RANGERS are extremely disappointed with the decision of the Scottish FA’s Judicial Panel to dismiss our appeal against the second yellow card shown to Daniel Candeias in the closing seconds of last Saturday’s match against St Mirren.

Rangers afforded the governing body the opportunity to let common sense prevail and we are surprised they have chosen not to do so by correcting what was, and what remains an inexplicable decision by the match referee, Willie Collum. Rangers shall now seek a fundamental review of the rules relating to red cards which result from two bookings of a player in a game.

If one of these decisions is obviously wrong, it must be possible to correct that mistake. It is wrong that players’ livelihoods and careers can be impacted without the opportunity of redress, especially when the official responsible for the miscarriage of justice is allowed to continue as though beyond question or reproach.

It defies belief that this same referee, who got it so blatantly wrong last Saturday, is awarded one of the biggest matches in Scottish football this weekend while Daniel Candeias is denied the right to go to his work. This, frankly, is unacceptable.

Furthermore, it is understood that a number of people within the Scottish FA are in no doubt Mr Collum’s judgment was flawed and Rangers shall also now be submitting a formal complaint about the performance of this referee. The manner in which he reacted to an incident involving our player made it obvious he did not give due consideration to his decision.

This is by no means the first time errors of judgment have been made in matches involving this official and clearly there is an underlying issue which requires to be addressed.

What's everybody's thoughts?  Are Rangers correct in thinking that Willie Collum is out to get them?  Has anybody on Pie and Bovril ever been on the receiving end of an unjust Willie cautioning?

We can also use this topic to share our previous favourite statements by all clubs.

Poor daniel will be down the foodbank becuase he got 2 yellow cards. Are Sevco suggesting that this will financialy impact the player?

"SFA are out to get us"

Morelos not banned for kicking a player, mcgregor not banned for multiple kick outs, Multiple dives by **** not resulting in bans. 

Statement FC. Fannies.

Morelos wrongly sent off costing us three vital points.

McGregor acted within the new football guidelines as confirmed by an SFA hearing.

Happy to help Daz.

Can we assume they just mean Rangers matches?
