Just get them to post it. He's "delighted" that 3 of the oldest clubs in Scotland have been treated in this way, when they all know there were alternatives. If this virus prevents any attendances at Scottish games for an extended time, we'll see how delighted he is when clubs start suffering real financial loss, and his pathetic broadcasting deals don't carry enough money to save them. Steven Naismith should just ‘mic drop’ the trophy when its presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I wasn't at all confident when I heard that it was going to arbitration but then got more confident as time went on so am now very disappointed. This decision doesn't mean that we were wrong and they were right, it just means that there wasn't enough in law to overturn our relegation. Nothing has changed for me , the whole shambles is still down to the SPFL and their corrupt ways and as they've had plenty practice stitching things up the whole scottish game's a bogey. They can now do what they like in full view and not even the law of the land can touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambopilms Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The real criminals are the clubs who pointed out our self interest, whilst voting no against reconstruction because off a long bus journey or a few hundred more supporters. Clubs who have benefited but shown no humility to help others. Clubs who didn't want to give a small amount and were quite happy for 3 clubs to pick up the tab.

Martin_T Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Personally I'm not in favour of withdrawing from cups etc and boycotting away grounds is moot for the vast majority of fans, who like me, perhaps only get to a couple of away games a season. Whilst I understand the anger and desire to lash out, our sole focus should be on making sure Hearts come out the other end of this in as good a shape as possible.

Thunderstruck Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 This paragraph takes the biscuit in light of yesterday’s football coverage - the bringing of the English Premier League to a fair and equitable conclusion. If contact training was possible in England, there was no reason why the same could not have happened in Scotland. It is regrettable that the league had to be concluded in the way that it was.

gator Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 1 minute ago, Deevers said: Had little faith in the Arbitration process right from the start. A pool of people there at the behest of the SFA and no doubt on retainers, and all the evidence heard in secret. What faith can anyone have in that process. It stinks. The pity was the case was not fully heard in public and for full public scrutiny of the evidence there for everyone to see. I hope we take this further. Agree with you, although some thought the panel would be fair and independent I suspected they would not be, that's why the SPFL fought so hard to go this route and keep everything covered up, rotten to the core!

Walking away from Hearts, punishes Hearts and Hearts alone.

Anything2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't think they have any idea what damage they have caused, not so much in a financial sense as someone goes down every year and that's just how it goes but in terms of what football means to people in Scotland. As much as I will still be at Tynecastle next season and those that follow as I want to support the team but I don't think it will ever be quite the same, I don't really want anything to do with Scottish football again, I won't ever watch a game that Hearts aren't playing in, I'm not excited about the cup game, I would happily see other teams out of business etc, etc and I don't think that's what the game should be about.

"It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team." SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan confirmed that three members of the organisation's executive team were interviewed by the panel and thousands of pages of evidence were considered.
