Paul McBride has laughed off the SFA’s threat of taking legal action as hilarious and ludicrous.
Last night the SFA issued a six point statement slamming the QC after his criticism of their handling of Tuesday’s enquiry into the so called shame game that saw three Rangers players red carded.
No further action was taken against the Rangers trio with Ally McCoist having his appeal against a two match upheld.
McBride launched a scathing attack on that process and was quick to put the boot into the SFA again after the threat to sue him and report him to the Faculty of Advocates.
“I hope hope that my reaction is the reaction of most people who read it( the statement),” McBride said.
“It is one of utter incredulity. My first reaction to be honest was that it was the missing page of a Monty Python sketch. It is hilarious, ludicrous and bizarre.
“I intend to ignore the statement, it’s frankly stupid. In the unlikely event that they were mad enough to take legal action against me, and apparently every media outlet that has printed what I said then I would look forward to vigorously defending my position.
“The comments that I made about them were fair. They were accurate, they were in the public interest. And the public I think would be interested in the unlikely event of this going to court.
“Seeing how this inept, incredulous and neanderthal organisation.
“I as an advocate am not allowed to speak on behalf of a client, whether it be Celtic or whether it’s Neil Lennon. I am allowed as a member of the public and an individual who happens to be a Queens Counsel to comment on any matter legally as I see fit.”
Kenny Clark- the SFA are cowardly and ambarrassing
Paul McBride- the SFA look beyond stupid

Where are the rest of Scottish Clubs fans, not many sticking up for Celtic, silence is deafening
well done Paul! its been a long time coming! hail hail !
I think I love this guy
Absolutely fantastic, Mr McBride is the best QC in Scotland and his comments were spot on, He just said what everyone in scottish football was thinking. The S.F.A are pissed off with McBride because he used their own rules against them and they knew by banning MADHEED & DOOF that would hamper R*ngers in the run in for the title and piss off their old pal Watty. The shame game was caused by 3 rangers players getting sent off and ally starting a riot on the touchline and neil lennon gets a four match ban and the manky mob get away with silly fines. F*ck the S.F.A!!!
Hail Hail!!!
sfa trying to threaten mcbride with legal action!? could these morons make themselves look any more stupid? red noses and baggy poker dot suits all round.
Well done MR Mc Bride hail hail
S.F.A are all idiots and don’t have a clue how to run the s.p.l and MR McBride is the best all i say is let it go to court it will make the S.F.A look stupid again .
hail hail hail
The threat of legal action is just sabre rattling on their part. Any case would inevitably lead to a judge declaring they are biased( How good would that be). McBride has already run rings round them before I doubt they will be in a rush for round 2
