It cannot and should not be allowed, for any officer of the SFA to make any personal comment, or give any public opinion on any contentious matter in relation to the game, an official, or a member club, without definitive supporting proof on the matter.....especially when any said officer is potentially conflicted by having a direct or indirect relationship with the matter at hand.
As his bosses, administrators and managers within the SFA, Allan has to have had the backing of them to say what he has said.
Otherwise, he must be reprimanded and punished for speaking out of turn and Celtic given an apology,
If neither of these things happen then we can fairly assume by their silence, THEY are ALL as one and agree with him and his anti Celtic discrimination.
This is proof incarnate that the SFA has seen it necessary to single Celtic out for criticism (via Allen) when there was nothing to criticise Celtic for...
as the man THEY selected and put in place found nothing wrong at the time.. and is always given a carte blanche adjudication to govern the whole 90 minutes of said match.
Yet when it suits them, they challenge his decision.
This allows us to refuse acceptance and question future decisions that we find wrong and unfair.
This is an unprecedented outcome and has never been heard of before (I have given it some research and found no copycat incidents to date) and proves beyond doubt that the SFA are seething with us getting a goal potentially offside and where there is no proof of it being so.
Moreover it states that their anger (the entire Scottish SFA operation) is upset at us for:
A) stopping Hearts receiving 1 point at least and:
B) Celtic keeping up with
the Rangers by the two points gleaned from the offending goal.
To me, this is the most frightening of all the imponderables here.
It is as good as an admission we will ever get from the Scottish governing body that they dislike Celtic above all other teams and now openly saying so by their stance alongside Allan..
Allan has opened up a Pandoras' box here by saying what he has said and it's taken me two days to calculate just how many material points we can glean from this. In fact there are so many it actually allows us litigation after every match we care to argue about, where serious contentious incidents arise.
His words protect us from being punished by going to court as his own words state his partiality and favouritism towards every other team and his dislike for Celtic, and now we have the evidence.
Being cognisant of this we can now fire into them accusing them of double standards whenever their adjudicating lacks the balance and fairness we demand and sign up to.
This is a win-win situation for us that even the SFA cannot argue or refute, and all done by their own brotherhood's hand.
My father said years ago, "one day they'll slip up and there'll be no escape for them, and that's when we must take charge, or leave this country's leagues"
Adding that, back then when Celtic had between 91,000 to 120,000 at home games "Celtic are the biggest team in Britain and have been taking shit without comeback since he was a boy. He called me and other Celtic fan idiots for giving them our money while our board meekly and unquestioningly accept shocking decisions like sheep to the slaughter, and while being the biggest financially contributing club in Scotland.
Question everything?
That's if Celtic's board had grown a pair since then.
Allan's singling out of Celtic is tantamount to saying "If Celtic get a refereeing decision we don't like then we will over-rule it in future games, and this is excepting all others.
If just one of our directors has a civil brain in his head he will use this moment to inspire us forward.
I hope Celtic can see what we now have on them......after what we suffer, we have an amazing opportunity here, only a stupid person would let this slip.
This year is crucial for them and will allow us to tighten the boot on their throats.
Allan does not realise what he has given us.
The SFA hope we are too stupid to realise it.
