Mikey1874 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 2 hours ago, Cruyff said: It's ridiculous, the guys done his time, paid back a 6 figure proceeds of crime order back and rehabilitated himself. The court says the guys fine yet the SFA need to question his character, drag him through their system to clear him like they are above all that. Absolute cretins. 1 hour ago, Cruyff said: He won't but that's the point, it's a waste of time. As stated, the guys done his time in the eyes of the law, re-paid monies, rehabilitated himself, been working at Livi for years as a coach with young people. It seems a bit of a shame that the SFA are treating him as if he were still a criminal and dragging up a long and distant past when in recent years they declared the likes of Dave King as fit and proper. 4 minutes ago, AlimOzturk said: Everyone deserves a second chance. He serve his time It's actually an obligation to consider people's previous offences as part but not a bar to employment unless in some specific areas such as working with children. 'Rehabilitation of Offenders' has been a principle for at least 30 years. I don't know the precise law. But the SFA should be careful.

john thomas Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 2 hours ago, Locky said: You're spot on, but as you say timing is everything. Martindale has been involved in several capacities at Livingston Football Club, since 2014. He's been in charge of the first team since November 26th. At no point during that timeframe, was his criminal conviction unknown. It's been common knowledge among all in Scottish football, exactly who he is and what he's done. Yes, a test should've been carried out a long time ago, but why publicly announce it on the morning of a Livingston match regardless of their opponent. It's just going to unsettle the team and create a negative atmosphere at the club until the outcome of the test. Just so happens, their opponents are Celtic. Also just so happens, that Celtic's manager has made a complete fool of himself 48 hours ago, and rather than deal with him, they've got someone else now to focus on.

Didn't Lennon (allegedly) hold a knife to the throat if a former partner....? Nah not St Neil. You're obviously thinking of a different Neil Lennon... "Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon apologises for knife threat against former mistress The football manager, who held on to his position after an inquiry into the incident, said he was sorry if his actions had 'caused anyone any upset or duress' Soccer boss Neil Lennon has apologised after The Sunday Mirror exposed him for making a knife threat against his former mistress . Speaking about it for the first time after his club Bolton lost 4-0 at Rotherham, Lennon admitted the scandal “may have had a negative effect”. Then he added: “If it has caused anyone any upset or duress then I apologise.” Bolton Wanderers set up an inquiry after we revealed how Lennon intimidated his mistress for threatening to reveal the affair. But the club decided he should keep his job. The un-named woman, who we called Kim, had discovered the ex-Celtic idol was seeing a third lover behind his long term partner Irene McCloy’s back. Kim told how he issued a threat to her that someone “could” put a knife to her throat. He also offered £10,000 for her silence. She said yesterday: “I feel much safer now.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bolton-wanderers-boss-neil-lennon-7075826 Edited January 20, 2021 by been here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now as I explain each and every issue involving our game (in slow football language) she is absolutely stunned at the way Celtic both act and, are treated by the media and our governing body.

He has to undergo an examination of sorts Like all things to do with criminal convictions you have to ask the questions of how long should the punishment be for and how long the consequences should last......some should last a lifetime in terms of consequences others not Without knowing his full story the investigation is the right way to go and until those in charge have completed it we do not truly know the full story. Do you believe he has fully rehabilitated ?, should he be in charge of a club who have dealings with children and young adults ? Would he be an example to others that you can change and make a difference later in life ?

Malinga the Swinga Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Timing may be wrong but he should be subjected to test as, imo, he should be allowed nowhere near Scottish football. This is a man who was a high ranking member of criminal gang. He didn't voluntarily stop and give up drug business, he was arrested and only while in jail did this miraculous change in him happen He also has to prove where the funds came from that repaid the proceeds of crime fine, which was around £150k. Cant imagine many folk have that lying about as spare change so where did it come from. Gallachers indiscretion could be heat of moment, Martins ale was career criminal and that's a big difference.

Locky Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Also, while discussing other managers sitting this test, can we also consider the fact that Neil Lennon has openly admitted to suffering from mental health problems and clearly, this affects his ability to work in such a role. And when I say that, I'm not looking to knock Mr Lennon on that matter. Quite the opposite in fact. I'd be questioning whether it's fair for him to work in such a job if it affects his mental health, which judging by his many outbursts, and questionable behaviour, it seems like it does have an adverse affect on him.

Ex member of the SaS Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Should he be investigated? YES he should, however the time for this has long passed and to bring it up hours before a game against one of the bigots shows how corrupt this league is. TBF to Martingale he has done his time and proved he can go straight. What a gold star for a prison system that normally makes them worse. Said many times those running the game should be voted in every four years. Candidates put forward and clubs vote, simple. The other big issue is where the HQ and national stadium is situated. Both should be purpose built somewhere near Stirling. Somewhere ALL teams have to travel to for the big games. Ok there will always be winners and losers, but the fact our national stadium has Sevco and Celtic " ENDS" is a massive disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDK2020 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Anybody that doesn't raise an eyebrow at the timing of this deserves to be lied to and cheated all their lives. I hope the clubs are all taking note of the events of the past few weeks, celtic are completely riding roughshod over Scottish football while the authorities sit back and say diddly-squat. My understanding from a friend of a friend is that, ironically, Martindale is very much "celtic-minded" (which may be why the SFA have laid off him these past couple of months), but now it matters not a jot, the SFA will be more than happy to throw him under a bus if it is deemed in the greater interest of their favourite club to suddenly be on the guy's case.
