Leveins Battalion Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Scottish Football cannot even organise a BCD friendly between 2 clubs without breaking the rules. It is nothing but an amateur,unproffesional and corrupt members comittee. For me now,i couldn't care less if i go to watch Hearts away at Dunfermline this season(which i would look forward to) or travel to Perth to have 16 St Johnstone fans sing ''Hearts are peados'' all game or travel through to Hamilton to sit in The Spice of Life Stand and have a sing off between 3000 Jambos and 22 Hamilton fans (utter embarassment of as club) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think there are a number of factors, when combined together, could possibly lead this arbitration panel to come to the conclusion that they are not competent to impose a final ruling, not least in order to avoid making a fundamental error in law. It's complicated and time sensitive. Potentially there are 'innocent' entities liable to suffer consequences. But the law has to be applied.

Understatement of the year. The moment they said all this would be behind closed doors was the moment I didn't really expect or even especially care about the result. I mean, worst case is we're in the Championship with a bit of compensation (whatever's left after the SFA fine) watching a winning team for a year, which would be a nice change after last season. Now, we'll never know what was said between Helms and Doncaster or why the SPFL went all in on finishing the league early so quickly. Whatever the decision is I'd like to see another push for a full public inquiry into the SPFL's governance. Or if the decision goes against us I'd like us to take it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if we can, which might be a more public venue.

Nothing will chat in Scottish football until the SPFL and SFA are forced to operate with some transparency, It was Lord Clark who sent it for arbitration, where it has to be heard behind closed doors, and I didn't get the impression he was looking for somewhere shady for it to be heard, just that, in his legal opinion, he had no choice. This is just one example of what worries me most about our case, that it's the nuances of the law that get ya, and not the strength of your case, or even that of the opposition.

It's not the city, its the Glasgow-centric west coast insular bs that annoys people. It permeates the SFA, many of our clubs and local politics - all to their detriment. Throw in the "what school did ye go tae" merchants and it's a millstone that wrecks progress in this country. It is on topic, as this crap is the biggest reason why our game is an absolute mess and why we had to go to Court to seek justice because you will never find fair and equitable treatment from a partisan body set-up to do the bidding of the two Glasgow bigots.

The government of a country can if it wants interfere and Fifa and their sanctions (blockading ports?) can do one.

Victorian Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If the main consideration now is how to best, or least worst, uphold our substantive complaint, while ensuring the least damaging consequences for all stakeholders, then essentially we've won the argument. We might end up being largely disadvantaged due to technicalities but there would still need to be an 'award' to us. I do wonder if there is still work to be done on how a financial award will be dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
