Gills chairman Paul Scally has branded a tribunal decision against the club as "nonsense".

His comments come as the Gills and former player Mark McCammon will be back in court again tomorrow (Friday), after the ex-striker took legal action against his former club.

A remedial hearing is taking place following the tribunal’s judgement, which ruled the ex-striker had been dismissed as an act of "racial victimisation".

McCammon, who was dismissed for gross misconduct last year, alleged he and other black players were treated differently from white players in the first race case a footballer has ever brought before an employment tribunal.

Today’s hearing, which is scheduled to last all day, will determine how much the club will have to pay McCammon in damages.

Following the judgement on July 30, Gillingham FC said they were "hugely disappointed" and "staggered" by the decision. The club has until Tuesday to apply for the decision to be reviewed, and until September 10 to appeal against the judgement.

Speaking earlier this week club chairman Paul Scally said the case was "one of the biggest injustices and nonsense decisions" he had heard of.

He added: "That case is not over yet and of course and that is just the beginning with the decision. Now what we have to do is decide where we take that decision and how we deal with it and what the consequences are. That’s what we will be doing in the next week or two.

"Ninety-nine per cent of people know it’s a complete nonsense decision and those that are close to the club know it’s an extraordinary nonsense and there is no credibility in it whatsoever so we don’t have to go convincing them because they already know.

"There probably isn’t a single person who supports this football club or plays for the club that has turned around and thought that was a good decision, in fact quite the opposite."
