Apples and Oranges.
Celtic went after the SFA by lawful means , through the courts and won the case because they were able to prove some sort of administrative error by an SFA official.
I doubt if there's any similarity between that case and the procedures involved with Devlin's red card
The SFA have sent a video package to UEFA of mixed Hun footage this season because they DONT KNOW if they were red cards or not. That’s the folk running the game. Their procedures are shyte & need challenged
Looks like they're asking UEFA to clarify how new guidelines about brutality or excessive force or something like that issued by UEFA are to be interpreted , using some recent high profile cases in Scotland , including MacGregor and Naismith,as examples.
Seems a reasonable enough request by the SFA to me , although maybe they should have asked UEFA for guidance before cases like these cropped up.
Which procedures do you think are shyte ?
How many other football associations have asked uefa to look at their refs. If they were unsure as to what constituted an offence perhaps they should have clarified it at beginning when the new directives were set. They could even have used clips from last season of contentious challenges.
As a cynical auld radge who's grown up watching the SFA being as corrupt as F, this to me is a complete cop out due to the amount of flack they're taking on the matter. They're trying to slide the buck to UEFA after being caught in the middle of a sh!tstorm and their corrupt cheating is being laid bare on social media.
As for the suggestion the club should field Devlin, whilst I think our response has been a bit weak, fieleding Devlin on Saturday would be utter madness and would result in the club getting a right kicking. It may prove a point but the repercussions wouldn't be worth it. If it was fielding players illegally for a decade due to side letters, then there's no punishment, but a suspended player playing in red is a different matter for the SFArseholes
