While I sympathise with your situation, you broke club rules by selling on the tickets. You should have returned them to the SSC for them to be passed on to another member. At the end of the day, you have only been given a warning, and I dont think you will be doing it again, so nothing lost, apart from the money.
Nonsense. There's a time and a place for being inflexible and this wasn't it.
Scott had way more important things to deal with than abiding by SFA's 'rules' as is clear from his post.
I know from direct experience of a similar situation in 2007 that was wonderfully handled by Alison Jack.
The SFA under Regan just do not do sensible.

David Clarkson.
On his debut:
"He came on as a substitute in the match, and scored Scotland's only goal in the 85th minute when he" "skilfully gathered in a cross, turned beautifully inside the box and drilled the ball home" "past Czech keeper Petr Čech".
Not bad, for a total of less than an hour on the pitch for full team.
Excellent goal it was too.
Shame it got lost in a poor result.

Some don't remember or wants to acknowledge some of the fine displays he had for Scotland due to other issues, prime candidate for this thread.
The miss against Belgium, injury call offs and v's signs are always brought up, no-one mentions his work rate in the France victories, getting us out a hole in the Faroes or the Italy 2007 game when he outshone Pirlo.
I'm not championing him as a Scotland hero, just vastly underrated what he gave to us on the park.
Now, quite a lot of that I can accept. But underrated, no way.
A twat for the v-signs when Captain of our country, injury call-offs, and his deliberate booking v Moldova to get him out of the trip v Slovenia? Damn right he is.
Funnily enough, the beneficiary of his selfishness v Moldova was one Paul Hartley.
Barry Ferguson has no place being mentioned in a thread championing the virtues of lesser recognised guys like Graham Alexander, Paul Hartley and Gary Naysmith.

Press release: Livingston v RangersHaving spoken with our programme editor today and, before having the opportunity to discuss fully his comments made in the match programme of 4th October, he informed me that he wished to tender his resignation from the position with immediate effect and this was accepted.
The club do feel that the editor has used the medium of the Official Match Programme to express his own personal views.
Once again, I can assure all fans that there is absolutely no bigotry or sectarian issue or intention at Livingston Football Club and I can only offer my sincere apologies to the club and any fans who have been offended by what was written as there was no intention to offend anyone.
As far as Livingston FC are concerned, we consider the matter to be closed and will make no further comment.

Livingston FC
Shouldn't have been necessary to make that statement.
The Rangers' inability to accept the reality of what happened two years ago is utterly shameful.
-
What have The Rangers ever done for us?
-
Barry Ferguson
Disgraced the jersey and the captaincy. Thanks for the humour anyway.
-
Quite simple really...
Which Scotland players from the past perhaps never quite got the credit they deserved ?
I'd nominate Graham Alexander, Paul Hartley and Gary Naysmith from recent years.
Three good no-nonsense players who never failed to give their all in a Scotland jersey. I'd be interested to know how many assists Naysmith got for Scotland, pretty sure he set up a few goals for us.
Any other suggestions ?
Wonder if we can put together a decent starting XI of underrated Scotland players.
You've nailed three of mine from this century.
Don Hutchison should have been recognised long before he ever was.
Because I'm an old git, I'll add Jimmy Johnstone. 23 caps was an awful return for one of the best players Scotland has ever produced (normally seen by me running rings round whoever was unfortunate enough to be playing left-back for Thistle in the late 60s and early 70s).
-
Right - I see it's the old Hayburn. Appears to have been poncified.
Has been for a couple of years now, Charlie.
-
Lovely overhead kick. In all fairness we should have made it a bit more comfortable but that's not our way. Credit to Hearts again they really are setting the pace. As for Hibs they come to Ibrox and win then drop 2 pts at home. Sort of sums them up.
You don't do yourself any favours, do you?
What bit don't you get about.................acchhhhhhh forget it.
-
So did his team win???????
-
I'm convinced I saw him in the 70s in a match I went to with my dad. We're a Stirling Albion family, but would go to watch bigger sides if we wanted to see star players or famous teams. I could swear I saw the Kaiser play either in a European tie, or a friendly/testimonial in either Galsgow or Edinburgh at some point in the 70s yet cannot place it.
Although the question is about Bayern Munich, he also played at Hampden for West Germany in April 1969 (1-1).
-
True - just checked back.
Following the last couple of years it's superb to see him back fit and playing at all, let alone to these standards.
-
Flying the flag,good to see. 6 more points will see us through but can we get those points I wonder?
Win your home games, draw your away games and you'll be fine.
-
Was that Craig Gordon's first shut-out for Celtic?
-
Pity sheep shaggers couldnt.
-
Although I do have Man City v Roma on in the background and witnessed Totti beat the Man City defence for pace for his goal. That cheered me up.
That goal made him the oldest ever scorer in the Champions League at the age of 38 years and 3 days.
-
While he had his limitations we've had plenty of defenders worse than Nisbett!
Like Paolo Vanoli?
-
F**k it, I'll do it.
Thanks to Pete and Rog for something uplifting at the end of a crap week.
Hook line sounds like Who Are You meets Queen.
But it works!!
-
At least Eddard will have had a good day out.
That explains why that bawheid has been so quiet lately.
-
Wasn't he injured and just had a disastrous season at Bradford
Honestly can't remember, you're probably right.
He and Jackson played together a couple of times in qualification IIRC. McGinlay scored v Sweden at Ibrox, which often gets overlooked because of Jim Leighton's heroics that day.
-
Nobody really of note had been left out of the 98 squad.
John McGinlay would have been a shout for that squad, but Jackson had a good season that year so was given preference.
-
Eric Clapton?
Was at that show, and can confirm that the sound was truly abominable for a supposed state-of-the-art auditorium..
Apparently the sound at The Kings of Leon on the previous night was poor as well.
-
On the ball there as ever Barney. FFS...

I don't think the referendum outcome would affect my decision either way. The three Fs are the reasons I might come back - family, friends n football. They are unaffected by the referendum.
So far as the article goes, I didn't go to the arisaig tearooms to watch the result cos it was billed as a yes event by the attendees on Facebook, so I'm not sure if the interviewees are representative. Most Scots I know here wanted a no vote.
Genuine question Bruce, where are you based?
Gauld

I'm with you - after all Kris Boyd was named in a squad this time last year when he was on form.
As an aside, I don't buy this 'when we are 2 or 3 goals up' assumption.
Have a look at our last two results against Georgia folks, and get real.
