wealdstone 3,454 Posted November 15, 2017 Surely Godfrey will have to resign now as the BSPA Vice Chairman, his position is untenable. I understand his conscience is clear!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Max 216 Posted November 15, 2017 Seems a bit of a fudge. Has Rathbone been let off or earlier fines and sanctions still stand. Have to say it's not totally clear, but I read it that the previous decision and sanctions stand (subject to appeal) but there is no further action/sanction related to his public announcement of Godfreys involvement. I think in a way this revelation of the "discussion" has only further damaged Rathbone, not exonerated in any way. It is now clear he was happy to break rules based on the knowledge that he would have a net gain overall. It is like saying - if you rob the bank steal £200, but get caught you will be fined £10 - it is now your choice whether you go ahead with this illegal act! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand what you mean , I rather read things the other way. One day we will find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted November 15, 2017 still here http://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.66 That's the old statement about the original hearing, not the recent one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,696 Posted November 15, 2017 That's the old statement about the original hearing, not the recent one. It wasn`t when I posted it- that`s the BSPA and the SCB posting taken down now( maybe the Russians or the Americans didn`t like it ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,156 Posted November 15, 2017 It wasn`t when I posted it- that`s the BSPA and the SCB posting taken down now( maybe the Russians or the Americans didn`t like it ) And a complete waste of time, because it’s now been copied and pasted elsewhere.

wealdstone 3,454 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) And a complete waste of time, because it’s now been copied and pasted elsewhere. Probably they did not know what it meant either. Could be the parties involved are now equally confused. Is it not time to tell us what the hell is going on!!! Edited November 15, 2017 by wealdstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crump99 4,466 Posted November 15, 2017 No further action against Ged means the fine/punishment still stands. Ged won't pay, Panthers are doomed. Just means a visit from Delroy Anglin and Elmore Victor! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted November 15, 2017 What a mess !!! Ambiguous statement released and then taken down ( although many have retained it) . Result still as clear as mud regarding the position of the clubs and individuals concerned. A misconception of the facts and over the top response some will say!!

You got your statement and you're still moaning. They should have waited till there WAS a conclusion to announce. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we moan about is the statement was removed so still we are in the dark. Most I would have thought could see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
