The more I think about this, the more I think it has to be deliberate and it has to be some form of corruption.  It simply can't be an error or poor judgement.  You couldn't ask for clearer evidence that the referee made an error.

 

Why would they want to penalise a player and a club in the biscuit cup?

 

It makes no rational sense and really requires an independent investigation.

 

This is why it annoys me as well.  There is no rational explanation and I can't think of any reason why this decision would be made?  

 

Sums Scottish football up really.

If our media had any balls they would make a programme about this featuring the most ridiculous decisions .

I know it's not going to happen

It would take someone of courage and honest principles, within the SFA, to stand up and say that this isn't right. Since James Keatings has played for Hibernian, who's chairman at the time was Rod Petrie, now the SFA president, there is an obvious candidate to do the courageous thing.

What are the chances?

Slim?

Scottish FA Statement: James Keatings

scottish-fa-crest-1000x500.jpg?mode=crop&width=820&height=305&anchor=top
Saturday 22 February 2020

The Scottish FA’s Chief Executive, Ian Maxwell, has received notification that the tribunal convened to hear the Claim for Wrongful Caution raised by Inverness Caledonian Thistle on behalf of James Keatings failed to implement its duties as per the Judicial Panel Protocol.

Specifically, one of the panel members has advised that, despite raising no concerns throughout the process, they did not undertake their obligations with respect to the consideration of all the available evidence.

While the Fast Track Claims process is by definition an appeal, and therefore not open to further consideration, none the less the Chief Executive and Presidential team, Rod Petrie and Mike Mulraney, are unanimous that the tribunal outcome cannot be considered competent in light of the disclosure from the panel member and that the input from that panel member must be withdrawn.

With that in mind, and only in extremis based on the information provided by the panel member, the determination cannot be considered valid. Therefore, the Judicial Panel Secretary has been instructed to convene a new tribunal and a fresh date will be set in due course.

The initial outcome is rendered invalid by the acknowledgement of a panel member of their failure to dispose of their duties in respect of section 13.13.4 of the Judicial Panel Protocol and, in particular, the following paragraph:

The Determination of the Claim shall be made by the Fast Track Tribunal by examining and deliberating upon: (ii) all of the evidence and submissions delivered by the Claimant in support of the Notice of Claim.

The Scottish FA upholds the independence of the Judicial Panel Protocol but cannot in this instance consider the tribunal verdict competent, based on the admitted failure of a panel member to adhere to the process as outlined.

The panel member in question has subsequently been withdrawn from the pool of potential panel members for all future tribunals.

So all we need to do is to get enough retweets of future crimes against non-OF clubs and SFA will fold?

 

 

If only.

It is, at the same time, both quite stunning and not remotely surprising, that one of the panel has effectively admitted that they didn't even bother to watch the replays!!!!

 

I'm going to guess that they get paid a fee for being on a panel, and simply got the case details sent to them, waited a bit, then sent back their 'verdict' and pocketed the fee!

There were 3 people on the panel, so I fail to see how 1 member apparently not reviewing all the evidence led to that outcome... 

Does it require all three to agree to overturn a decision?

 

Or maybe the other two were split.

I think for a decision to be overturned the panel have to vote unanimously

It is only because the case went viral that they have intervened. The setup and the competence of those enlisted is all under SFA control. Bunch of useless arseholes taking a wage while the governance of our game rots.

The panels are made up of one representative each from Celtic and Rangers, plus a token neutral. Here obviously the Rangers rep saw their Colts team involved, so didn't need any further evidence.

That's my take on it too - their ludicrous decision has attracted too much unwanted attention and they've had to backtrack.

Sadly, that's probably not far from the truth 😕

"The panel member in question has subsequently been withdrawn from the pool of potential panel members for all future tribunals."

 

Given this is all anonymous, how can we know this is true?  

 

It would be more believable if they added another paragraph:

 

"The SFA are recruiting a new independently-minded member to join the panel. Please apply, quoting your Ibrox season ticket reference and/or Lodge membership number."

So.......smoke and mirrors aplenty.

 

I copied and pasted that statement into google translate and this is what came out:

 

“yes we know we fc***d it up but you know what, we don’t really care, we will convene again and change our minds and, we’re closing ranks to protect our own so we won’t disclose who messed this up the first time”

Banana Republic nonsense. Sounds exactly what it is, a dictatorship realising they pushed the abuse and bullying too far.

Medieval monarchy,,,esque!

Change must happen. No need to have such a secret squirrel setup.

 

A rep should be put forward for the panels from each club in the top 4 divisions.

 

Without this outcry we wouldnt be even having the conversation.

They can dress it with all the legalise and chuck in a Latin phrase or two all they like - they have still just admitted that their appeals process is flawed, not fit for purpose, opaque and perhaps even corrupt. Someone, who they refuse to identify, made a decision without basis because he couldn't be bothered looking at the evidence...

 

This raises questions about every single panel this person has previously been a member of...

I agree mate. If it was only the one person that never viewed the material surely the two that viewed it should have overturned the decision anyway. 
They are a bunch of incompetent arseholes and it makes you wonder about every decision that panel has ever made. They could just make an on the spot decision without viewing any video evidence and we would never know. Corrupt

So my initial thoughts were correct... Did think with a panel of 3 it would only be a majority required. Absolutely beggars belief that at least 2 of the 3 voted it was a dive.

There are plenty people on here who refuse to believe any corruption exists in Scottish football as well.

It is clear that not bothering to view the evidence before submitting a decision is not limited to just one person - 2 people must've done it, but only one has owned up to it...As I wrote above, every past decision by these panels is now questionable. Specifically every panel upon which the 2 who voted to deny Keatings appeal should now be reviewed. ..

Reading the Disciplinary Procedures - https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/5604/judicial-panel-protocol-2019-20.pdf

  1. 8.6.6  Where three Panel Members preside on a Tribunal, a Decision or Determination of said Tribunal may be made by a majority or unanimous verdict of the Panel Members.

  2. 8.6.7  Where one or two Panel Member(s) preside on a Tribunal, a Decision or Determination of said Tribunal must be made by a unanimous verdict of the Panel Member(s).

 

 

So there exists an appeals panel with one member/vote on it? :laugh:
