Wee Ally has declared that the compliance officer,a lawyer, sitting in the Aluko case was not qualified to participate in the hearing as he has never been a footballer!!! Pfft!
By that reckoning, only lawyers with a murder conviction can participate in a murder trial!!
You couldnt make it up!
He's an angry wee man!

If you mean who decided to bring it to his attention, well, where do you begin?

its a flawed system if he only looks at incidents that the media highlight

EK,
i think what the media highlights plays a hugh part in such debacles.
i mean, do first division players come under such scrutiny? no, because they hardly have any cameras (ie media) there on a weekly basis.
so its practically the media that decides what goes in front of the beaks. after all, video evidence was the main concern. if that makes it flawed, i really dont see any other way.

I think that you are correct on that ek, unfortunately for Aluko this is perhaps something he will have to understand when playing for one half of Scotlands big two clubs.
Aluko dived ek, I'm sure you don't dispute that, do you?

aluko dived , but that doesnt mean he wasnt fouled.

i remember last season Andy Walker described an over ball challenge by Stokes as "naughty" and no further action taken
if he described it as reckless and deserving of a red card i think he would have got done
for me that is far from right

ek, if you seriously believe that then our exchange is over.
Mores the pity, but there will always be other matters.

are you allowed to put your hand on a player as he goes past you?
i thought that was a foul?
soft ? very?
but still a foul

ek,
its football, not netball.
if everytime the game was stopped when players touched, no one would go to the games. it would be horrendous.
surely even you must agree?

i agree , but that is what our game has become unfortunatley, it happens every game, every week
all over the world players go down with the slightest touch.
sad but true
if the powers that be want to take a stance against it then im all for it , but it has to be same rules and punishment for everyone
what a point they could have made if the sfa banned Berra for his dive against the cech republic , but they didnt , sadly
