A WhatsApp I received from a fellow Tim.

On 24th February 1996 Jorge Cadette signed for Celtic. Because an international transfer certificate was required his registration wasn’t received by the SFA till March 7th and he missed Celtic’s SPL defeat of Hearts. He also missed the Scottish cup tie against Dundee Utd due to not registering 2 weeks prior to the game. This type of delay was common for transfers between different football associations.

March 12th. The SFA are advised by FIFA to acknowledge Cadette was registered as of 7th March.

The SFA chief executive Jim Farry refuses.

During this delay Celtic played Rangers at Ibrox (1-1) and Motherwell at Fir Park (0-0)

Jim Farry finally allows the registration to go ahead on 30th March and Cadette plays and scores against Aberdeen.
The SFA deem Cadette’s registration effective from 30th March thus he cannot play in the Scottish Cup defeat by Rangers on the April 7th due to the 2 week rule.

Rangers won the league by 4 points.
Rangers won the Scottish Cup.
Jim Farry was subsequently dismissed for gross misconduct. He was deemed to have CHEATED to prevent Celtic from fielding their best players.

So when we talk of tainted titles would Celtic with Cadette have won at Ibrox reducing the gap to 1 point?
Would Celtic have beat Motherwell giving them a 2 point lead in the league and stopping rangers at 8 in a row?
Would Celtic have beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi?

We’ll never know. Just like we’ll never know if the rangers could claw back a 13 point lead this season. 🙄.

Everything about that old club was tainted. Constantly cheating. Absolute embarrassment of a club, just like the new club. Watching their deluded fans have a meltdown because there is no cheating avenues open to them to allow them to compete with us is hilarious😂😂😂😂.

If Fergus was still at Celtic.
Rangers Ebt titles would already be stripped.
He was like a dog with a bone. We want some of that attitude from our board NOW.

Don't look back in anger, what's done is done, this new season, winning it, when ever it starts, is more important than what happened years ago.

Aindoh, you are right. However, fat Sally is taking time out from his gardening job to lead the demand for an asterisk beside our title win. So, there should be at least one beside that title as the senior man in the SFA was complicit in cheating us out of what was a proven advantage.

Guys its time to move on from res 12, nothing can be gained from it now its in the past time to move on.
What we should really be shouting from the rooftops abouts is FFP I really think there is something dodgy going on over in Sevconia.
Constant multi million losses, nobody checking accounts, signing 5-8m players with no real sales to talk about.
Get it sorted I say SFA, SPFL.
All watching and wondering yet doing nothing.
Buzz I bet you prob know even more?

{Ed007's Note - Spot on Raymundo, fighting to bring in domestic FFP Regs. is the way to go.}

Your right Raymond. It is the way to go.
Neil Doncaster mentioned FFP in 2012 and it never materialised.
I have said a few times, it will eventually get the go ahead,
But not until Sevco have been given the chance to stop Celtic winning 10 In A Row.

clubs should be operating within FFP rules but must be another rule for that mob.

UEFA do have the FFP rules but the SPFL don't I think.
Is that correct ed?

{Ed007's Note - Yeah and other leagues have their own variations they enforce.}

Ed do clubs not have to comply with FFP To qualify for club European competitions?

{Ed007's Note - It's the individual leagues that check them and put forward the teams for UEFA competition.}

Thanks Ed it seems like that just opens up UNFAIR play.

{Ed007's Note - Unless something is flagged up I think they must pay more attention to the big money leagues where there's more chance of financial skullduggery on the grand scale.}

That lots business plan is based on qualifying for Europe. They run at a loss every year for millions yet pass FFP.
