Wanderers: Ibrox Club says Scottish FA will be “followed closely” after John Brown’s ‘corruption’ comment

The FA was fined when providing comments to the club after being fined for John Brown’s “corruption” claim.

The former Ibrox defender was fined £3,000 in their final match against Hibbs this season.

When Nico Raskin looked to score, he didn’t give him the dissatisfaction – it seemed the ball was crossing the field before being cleared by Rocky Bushiri.

VAR did not intervene because “there is no certain evidence/angle to say that the ball has completely crossed the line to award the Rangers a second goal”.

“I would say it’s corrupt,” Brown said on Wanderers TV.

Commentator Tom Miller warned: “Well, I’m not sure we can really say: “In Brown continues, “Okay, I said.”

In a strongly worded statement, the club said they “labeled many examples of similar incidents on the club channel” as part of the defense, adding: “These incidents raise reasonable questions about Scottish FA regulations and their degree of implementation.”

“To the best of our knowledge, none of these cases appear to have led to charges against various clubs.

“There are more issues with the lack of consistency with the FA’s policing in similar incidents. That’s why we will contact the CEO and President of the FA to seek policies and treatments from the Compliance Officer to ensure that there are policies and processes that ensure a continuous and proportional approach to the implementation of the same treatment of the Member Club.

“We will also ask if the FA accepts rules that cannot be applied at all clubs at all times and that all platforms have the risk of losing credibility as a fair and enforceable regulation.”

The statement added: “In choosing this case, the FA Scotland has opened the door to carefully review how similar situations are handled. If it is the standard now, they will look closely at them to make sure it consistently applies it to the entire board, and there is no doubt that there is no benefit.”

Rangers statement completely

We believe it is necessary to emphasize the broader concerns raised by such results and the broader implications of this for clarity and confidence in its regulatory process.

John Brown spoke emotionally, like a person who cared deeply about the club. His words have no scripts, they are not official club reviews. However, the ruling sets a precedent that even spontaneous, corrected remarks are enough to trigger formal sanctions even in real-time coverage of obvious referee errors. This is neither proportional nor consistent, especially when other clubs make stronger comments on official platforms with no consequences.

As part of today’s defense, we tagged many examples of similar events on the club channel. These events raise reasonable questions about Scottish FA regulations and how well they are implemented. As far as we know, none of these cases appear to be filed against their respective clubs.

There are many questions that lack consistency with the FA’s policing in similar incidents, rather than answering. That’s why we will contact the CEO and President of the FA Scotland to clarify the policies and procedures set by compliance officials to ensure a consistent and proportionate approach to implementation and a consistent and proportional treatment of member clubs. We will also ask if the FA accepts whether they accept a rule that cannot be applied continuously in all clubs, with all platforms having the potential to lose credibility as a fair and enforceable regulation.

Our goal is to understand the basic principles behind different results. A lack of consistency or perception of IT undermines confidence in the discipline process and exposes all member clubs to uncertainty and unsubstantiated uncertainty.

Although we note that the group acknowledges that the club’s internal editorial guide may be a constructive step for others, guidance on how to manage clubs that broadcast live broadcast content is not clear.

To be clear, we mentioned these other examples, not to suggest that they should lead to sanctions, but to emphasize the obvious contradictions in handling similar incidents. The club media channel is essentially passionate and partisan. The territory is especially in the on-site setting, informal, ridiculed and emotional commentary accompanying the territory.

However, in the process of choosing this case, the Scottish FA has opened the door to carefully examine how to deal with similar situations. If this is the standard now, they will be closely watched to ensure consistency and without exception to apply it.
