SPFL and Covid ( Leagues 1 and 2 to restart )

[Marvin]

The anti Hearts feeling is a disgrace orchestrated by the Glasgow rags. I do hope we win our case and ram it up the SFA/SPFL. As for Dungcastor 😡 The whole debacle is not mentioned in the English press, maybe their journo's have better things to do than report on the most corrupt football association in existence. Imagine having a set up that is even more corrupt than FIFA, you can't make it up.

Still got my doubts about you, why not say " Hearts supporters" ?

Can you not bring yourself to say "my fellow Hearts supporters".

You don’t have to have any doubts about me. I use the phrase “Hearts people” to encompass all of us, whether we go to games or don’t. It is in no way designed to be dismissive of people, with a love of Hearts, who can’t go to games for geographical, health or financial  reasons. I’m just old fashioned, in that I’ve always used the term supporters, rightly or wrongly, for guys who actually put money into the club or go to support the team home and away. I’ll call us all “fans” from now on, to avoid any upset.

I have to say, this has been a first for me, having anyone have doubts about me being a Hearts fan, and it doesn’t feel nice.

So no one else has to click on the link, see below another well balanced and insightful piece by the likely winner of the upcoming Pulitzer Prize, Keith Jackson...

 

Not sure where to start with this one 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

 

Hearts and Partick Thistle £10m threat to clubs lost support and they might regret it if decisions go against them - Keith Jackson 

The battle goes to the Court of Session this week and adds to the madness of Scottish football during lockdown. 

 

 

Hearts and Partick Thistle £10m threat to clubs lost support and they might regret it if decisions go against them - Keith Jackson

The battle goes to the Court of Session this week and adds to the madness of Scottish football during lockdown.

 

Years from now when historians reflect on the Great Lockdown of 2020 they will see that Scottish football led the way as the true pioneer of this pandemic.

 

Records will show that the game in this country descended into a state of complete and utter madness long before the rest of the real world eventually caved in and lost the plot too.

 

It’s a scary place out there these days and some of the events of the last few weeks have been enough to make you wonder if there’s much to be gained from ever going out the front door again.

 

Certainly, the vein-popping insanity which has throttled the SPFL since March shows no sign of loosening its grip any time soon.

 

 

In fact, it will be cranked up again over the next few days as Hearts and Partick Thistle kick the whole drama into the Court of Session, having already issued the rest of Scotland’s clubs with a £10million relegation ransom note.

 

If they get their way we’re all about to be dragged back to the very start of this crisis and the decision to call time on a season after it had been infected by the same virus which has unleashed such suffering and chaos.

 

From Dundee and their mysterious flip-flopping to Neil Doncaster and his dubious back channelling, it could all be dragged back into the public domain like a recurring nightmare.

 

The trouble is, where there was almost unanimous sympathy back then for the plight of these two clubs, and for Thistle in particular, the mood around this new normal has taken a turn for the worse.

 

There are some clubs in agreement that the M8 alliance have been left with no option but to press the big red button.

 

But there are others, and plenty of them, who have been infuriated by the manner in which they have gone about it and, in particular, by the enormity of their demands.

 

The threat to trigger an interim interdict to prevent next season from kicking off as scheduled on August 1 has also raised the temperature significantly and contributed to the feelings of ill will swirling around the 12 
top-flight clubs.

 

At 3pm on Wednesday, just hours after the preliminary hearing at the Court of Session, all 12 of them will dial into a video conference call to discuss the next step in Scottish football’s recovery

 

On the agenda is a proposed rule change which would empower SPFL chief executive Doncaster and his board with emergency powers to act as they see fit should, heaven forbid, another pandemic force our game back into lockdown at some point in the future.

 

Over the weekend, Doncaster was also locked in fruitful talks with the Scottish government to secure permission for Premiership clubs to restart full contact training from this morning. That means the top 12 can now arrange pre-season friendlies between themselves while also advancing plans to get fans safely back inside their grounds as quickly as possible and turning on the tap of matchday revenue.

All the while, Hearts and Thistle continue to hold a gun to the game’s head over the manner in which last season was shut down.

 

It’s this refusal to allow the rest to focus fully on moving forward which is causing resentment to build and tempers to fray.

This is likely to dominate the conversations on Wednesday.

 

There is every chance that this uncertainty and rancour will all still be rumbling on in three weeks’ time when the SPFL holds its AGM to decide on the make-up of Doncaster’s board for the new campaign. There’s also every chance Celtic’s chief executive Peter Lawwell will be re-appointed to the set-up at that stage, replacing Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson as has become the customary summer boardroom job swap in recent times.

 

If that happens then Lawwell, who has kept his own counsel throughout this period of
 unprecedented unrest, will be dragged into the thick of the fight.

 

He’s unlikely to join in quietly or, for that matter, to feel much in the way of empathy for the two clubs most sorely aggrieved.

 

It really is a mess of gargantuan proportions and as the bad blood continues to simmer behind the scenes Scottish football’s dirtiest laundry may now be aired in full public view, assuming Hearts and Thistle’s lawyers win the argument on Wednesday morning.

If it is decided by Lord Clark that the case should proceed to the Court of Session the two rebellious clubs will feel their own actions have been largely vindicated, no matter how much anger they have caused among the others.

 

If, however, it is batted out at the first stage and Hearts and Thistle are ordered to enter into arbitration through the SFA instead, the whole basis for their claim will have been greatly undermined.

 

If the issue of a compensation claim somehow winds up going back to the vote of all 42 clubs then Hearts and Thistle would be as well standing outside and whistling for their cash. There may have been a time and place for such a conversation.

 

Even the most myopic and self-interested of chairmen and chief executives could see the blatant unfairness of what was done to these two clubs back in March when football was stopped.

 

But much has changed over these historic, life-changing last four months.

 

What was once a cruel world is in danger of losing its mind. At least our game will be there to welcome it to the madhouse.

 

 

 

 

Hahahahahahaha!

 

Better drop your fight to be treated fairly Hearts and Partick, because big bad Peter Lawwell will be getting voted on to the next SPFL Board and he will be very angry with you.

 

Go **** yourself Peter.

Go **** yourself Celtic.
Go **** yourself Jackson.

Is it possible to get the board made up of men and women from foreign shores to give the game half a chance of growth and fairness ?

If we're in the Championship, none of the more `prominent` reporters will be making their way to Tynecastle anyway.  Dick Gordon, Willie Miller - well, their team won't be visiting (unless in the cup) - Jackson et al will be far more interested in classics like St Mirren v Rangers and Celtic v St Johnstone or Ross County.

[John Findlay]

Mr Jackson,

                        Mr Lawell has kept his counsel has he? Would this be the same Mr Lawell who made an impassioned speech( your words when reporting) for clubs not to vote for an independent enquiry as per the Sevco resolution?

So Mr Lawell is getting pissed off as the SPFL may not kick off on August 1st and Celtic will probably get papped out of the Champions league at the first hurdle and therefore possibly kiss millions of pounds goodbye? Oh didums.

He shouldn't have been in such a hurry to get his hands on a tainted title.

The bully is threatening via his mouthpiece in the press again. Tough shit. 

How dare a woman in her 70s stand upto him. Who does she think she is?

This woman who has more ethics and morals than you and Mr Lawell in her pinkie than you both have in your whole bodies.

When it comes both you and Mr Lawell can both take your medicine.

[Sid]

Condense the article. 
 

Dundee changing their vote was wrong. Hearts were wronged as a result. Hearts challenge this stance. Hearts are now wrong. 
 

Makes perfect sense - if you bias against Hearts. If not, article is wrong.

You have to question why a professional body like the SPFL would have any dirty laundry and I would imagine most supporters would be very interested to see what they have been doing. Threats of liewell coming to get us if he is elected again and not giving empaty towards us or Partick shows how petty they really are. A board member has to be impartial and although we already know they are not using as a threat is just desperate.

 

Proving to the judge that referring it to the SFA is bad for our case is a big thing and doing so is effectively ending our claim.

These pieces from Jackson and Co are a great inside into the growing concern amongst the SPFL. Add into that the letter Doncaster sent at the weekend and I’d say we have more than ruffled their feathers. If Hearts and Partick win it means total revamp for Scottish football. Doncaster and his crew will have to go but may also be open to individual cases against them if they have promised certain things to certain clubs on the back of voting certain ways. Jackson and the likes careers will be in tatters as well as they’ve backed the SPFL at every turn and no normal person would continue in their role having gotten something so, so wrong. It’s great to see!

[JamboGraham]

The threat to the “1st August kick off” will only, and could only, happen if the SPFL has done something wrong.

 

Right now it is not stopping any Premiership designated club from preparing for the new season in any way, the only restrictions are due to Covid-19 and Government policy.

 

Unless the SPFL or the clubs believe, or suspect, that wrongdoing has occurred then our case, along with Partick, is irrelevant to anything they wish to do at this time.

 

If the SPFL is found to have done something wrong then the SPFL and the clubs have options to right that wrong. These are the same options they have had since March.

 

Becoming angry with a cause or party that you have “sympathy” for because their actions to remedy the situation may inconvenience you in the future is illogical.

 

Sympathy is irrelevant. It’s a question of wrong doing. Yes or No. Sympathy without the willingness to resolve the issue is what has led us to court this week.

 

I would actually have more respect for club custodians who were honest and simply stated that they believe we should be playing in the Championship regardless of what rules or process may, or may not, be in place. Based on the vote results since March there would appear to be many in this category.

Good point. The ‘empathy’ - if there was any - consisted of some cheap talk. When the opportunity was available to actually display some empathy in a tangible way most clubs effectively told us to feck off.

The unfortunate thing is that the media will do there utmost to ensure than none of this corrupt cabal lose their positions or influence, should we win our case.

This claim that all these clubs are out to get us, bears witness to our, strong and obvious, belief that we would never be treated fairly or honestly by the SFA if this affair ever went to arbitration by them. 

How much of that claim of so many clubs wanting some sort of revenge on us, for merely trying to right an obvious wrong, is open to question. The media tell so many lies about this affair, that it's difficult to separate truth from rubbish. It's a propaganda machine that Dr Geobbells would have been proud of.

They are very worried, which is why the intensity of the vitriol is reaching hysterical levels.

[Glamorgan Jambo]

The club that has most exposure to the

current situation is the one with

the highest level of outgoings - Selleck. In order to mitigate their potential losses they acted quickly to ensure the two non match day income sources; the SPFL TV contract, and most importantly their access to UEFA competition revenues was protected. By ramming through a shortened season without any discussion of alternatives.

 

We suffered the most because of that action. They’ll suffer the most if we get interdict because at a minimum they won’t get warm up games for the Champions/Europa League one off qualifiers.

 

So expect lots more of this over the next days and weeks. The threat of interdict is a hugely powerful weapon. Keeping it as a threat is the best way to maintain leverage as opposed to quickly going for it and getting refused.
