"My belief and that of the majority of people with a good knowledge of football" - loved that bit, this is a guy with 35+ years at the very top level compared with faceless nodding donkeys somehow sitting on a panel. Great the club is not putting up with this nonsense anymore. If MJ was still chair he would have sacked him for gross insubordination!

Paying for his fine by supporters would add further exposure for the farcical decision and give us more press. Also it will show SSC that he has the backing from us all. 

Exactly. These sort of crowdfunds show the public backing that an individual or group has. It is a great statement, he's a great statesman, and he should be rewarded so.

I highly doubt it. We are small and they want to look big.

Which is the exact opposite of what they will look should they have a go at him.  This was a very very carefully and well thought out statement which will have had legal review before it’s utterance.

we are dealing with real class here and the SFA will be ill advised to have a go.

i sit next to three sheep fans and when I showed them it they were seriously impressed.  Subtle but straight to the crux of the matter, professional but very sharp.

this wasn’t a Kenny Sheils passionate shot from the hip.  SC only does calculated.

and so the drivel begins

Sutherland you Sir are a slabber cabbage

 

Sportscene presenter Jonathan Sutherland

The fact the ruling was upheld suggests the panel felt the player did not demonstrate an obvious error had been made. So this is a big statement from Steve Clarke.

The judicial panel that ruled on the Dicker appeal - as with all cases like this - is independent of the Scottish FA. It's also a process backed by all the clubs.

So why would those three individuals on the independent panel take into account Willie Collum's next match as part of their ruling on Dicker's red card?

That might be a tough one to justify.

Sutherland should read the statement before stating that his comment would be hard to justify as SSC clearly states that it his 'perception' and that of 'many others'. The key word Sutherland in there is peceception - it's how it looks when you are not part of the process. For me, that is an observation that he has every right to make.

"is independent of the Scottish FA" - this would be laughable but this guy actually believes this is the case!

"the player did not demonstrate an obvious error had been made" - one of the main points made was that no-one was allowed to make a case that an error had been made and Sutherland just totally misses this.
