Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Riveting stuff. It is actually. Unlike your every contribution to this forum. You bring **** all. You are not interesting, knowledgeable, funny, witty or well informed. Now that could be said of most posters on any forum, but most of them wouldn't be stupid enough to actually rip the piss out of someone who does contribute something worth reading to said forum.

Hearts Heritage Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 From the thread herehttp://scottishleague.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4892The SFA Handbook for 1884/85 has a paragraph headed 'Professionalism' in its annual report. It reads:This subject has received very earnest consideration from your Committee, who consider that the time has now come for your hearty co-operation with the English Association, for the suppression of this unmitigated evil. A measure dealing with it in the severest manner was drawn up by your Committee, and they recommend it for adoption as a permanent rule.'And in the SFA Constitution and Rules, it reads: 'All players found guilty of receiving remuneration for their services beyond their reasonable and legitimate expenses shall be disqualified from playing in any Club under the jurisdiction of the Association for a period of two years. The onus of disproving any such charge against him shall rest with the player, who shall be bound to give a clear and satisfactory explanation of all circumstances connected with his case, failing which he shall be held guilty as libelled, and dealt with accordingly. Clubs found guilty of knowingly securing the services of any player under such circumstances, or of admitting any player to their membership during his term of suspension, shall be liable to expulsion from the Association.'I don't have access to the previous couple of handbooks so can't be sure if this is the first rule, but it is certainly strong stuff - 'unmitigated evil'! And players assumed to be guilty until they can prove their innocence. Yet this was a full two years after the English FA introduced a similar rule, which infers that Scottish clubs were slow to catch on to the idea of paying players, which in turn explains the exodus southwards.There doesn't seem to be much in the Scottish press about professionalism at that time, so it was very much perceived as an English issue. There was certainly much gnashing of teeth about it in the London area by the early-mid 1880s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
