SPFL and Covid ( Leagues 1 and 2 to restart )

[Fire_At_The_Disco]

This whole thing is company law, it needs adjudicated by a court. It’s really irritating how they are getting away with all the shit that they throw at us and PT. Get them into court and ridden raw.

We must be threatening an interdict due to the time the arbitration has taken. The SPFL/SFA indicated they’d be ready for arbitration within a few days, we are now reaching two weeks. I think this could be their way of reacting to the threat of an interdict. 

I did wonder when listening to the preliminary hearing and Lord Clark asked about the speed of getting an Arbitrary Panel together and Moynihan paused 'to ask the question' and categorically responded 'yes' whether he may have had SFA expertise in the 'room' with him.

 

Or why did he claim the SPFL lawyers Shepherd and Wedderburn had sent a list of the 50 SFA Independent Judicial Panel members to the court (?).  Which they hadn't but should they have had that list in the first place.

 

There is no doubt in my mind the SFA and SPFL aren't just colluding but working in unison.

 

[Rods]

We should at this point fund a legal bid by Kelty and Brora directly against the SFA for their negligence to them duting this process.

 

I genuinely beleive this is the last act of desperate people.

I can't believe that they've done this. What's their play because it just seems so obviously stupid and biased?

 

Interdict now please.

 

The only time to serve an interdit is one day before the season starts and only if we have not received a decision. If there is no decision by then then it is unlikely that the courts will be impressed. Lord Clark has set the ground rules so lets follow them and let others break them.

[SectionDJambo]

Just when we thought that we were in a wee lull of little activity, these cretins come up with this. The very action that their pals in the Weegie media were telling us was on the way before the court hearing.

This is going to get very interesting. Time for us all to hold our nerve against all the crap that will be coming our way from the usual propaganda machine. 

We can only wonder what is going through their corrupt minds to come out with this at this time, when they know that we are still engaged in an ongoing legal process.

[Gorgieshed]

I've honestly no clue what is going on anymore! Scottish football is the laughing stock of the world just now.

This is all timed to get us to cave in and say we have had enough of this lets just get it over and done with and accept we are in the Championship and give us a few quid and we will just get on with things.

 

However I really hope that this has infuriated AB even more and that she fights the SFA and the SPFL all the way even if it brings their whole poxy league to a standstill.

 

Please please don't give in to them Ann.

Don't think she will with the word incredulous in the club statement. 

 

Get the impression she might be getting really, really ****** off now. 

 

Interdict next step??

[Tokyo Drifter]

It's a play by the SFA. They're covering the SPFL's arses in case we win compensation, then they can try to hit us with a fine and siphon the money back to the clubs somehow. Anyway, Lord Clark questioned the legality of Clause 99 so if it ends up back in court it's game on again. And round and round we go.

Excellent point

[Sarah O]

 what a mess.

[Victorian]

I now think there's a need for the game to be the subject of a full public inquiry and,   if necessary,   for the running of the game to be taken under government special measures.    Nationalised in practice.     

 

Criminals tend to carry on breaking the law until prevented from doing so by the criminal justice system.    This lot are essentially the same.     They're beyond the point of no return.     They wont stop being corrupt until they're stopped by a higher power.

Does Lord Clark actually have the power to call it back before arbitration, regardless of time?

High Court Judges don't tend to like their authority being questioned by tin pot administrators in two bit self important organisations.

 

His comments to me smacked of a warning that we were within our rights to go to law court so don't act vindictively. 

 

SFA think they are above the law. They are not and there are rules on restriction of trade. We have the legal right to protect our right to trade, no matter what these tin pot dictators' rules say.

[Riccarton3]

Maybe it's just different times. Everything really needs to go through the courts. Least preferred option but it really does depend what you are dealing with.

[Back to 2005]

Its hard to even get annoyed anymore.  The corruption we have previously seen by referees has morphed in to the boardroom. 

Look forward to the day anyone from the SPFL or Sfa makes an appearance in Gorgie.

[AllyjamboDerbyshire]

We were wondering about the apparent delay in proceedings. Well I now wonder if this is what caused the delay (if caused by the SPFL?) or if this is as a result of whatever caused the delay!

 

By that I mean; if there was a delay caused by the SPFL, was it because they knew the SFA was about to issue this charge, or was the delay caused by a serious problem, ie they'd realised that they were about to/very likely to lose the case and called for the SFA's assistance, and this was all they could come up with? 

[JackLadd]

What sanction can they put on? I'm going to assume  it's a demand to cease or have registration suspended. 

[1874robbo]

If us taking the spfl to court was such a big deal to the sfa then why didn’t we hear a peep against it until it was almost started?

their silence on all of this from day one after the Dundee fixed vote has been a disgrace and embarrassment to the whole of Scottish Football 

[4171]

Mulraney and lawell behind this..time for a few other clubs to unite behind us..

I wouldn’t usually condone it but I hope everyone donates to the FoH to cover our fine so we can hurl a sea of coins, similar to that on 300, right at Doncaster's speccy puss.

That WILL be an interesting one

[Hagar the Horrible]

Well it is never a dull moment supporting Hearts, we should all be waiting for a new season to kick off, but instead they have enthrusted us into the mother of all shitshows?  Their bullying techniques have been spectacluar, but have so far not landed a single punch.  take this back to CoS now, get the interdict?  I dont care now if we win re-instatement or Compensation to the max, We have to burn the whole rotten thing down and rebuild it from nothing.

 

I dont care what team you support, this is beyond reasonable doubt that the game is corrupt. They are NOT above the law, we need to give them that kick in the baws.  Time for a bonefire of the blazers!

I'm not sure government could run the set up any better, possibly worse in fact but something needs to change. A total and radical rethink of how the game is run in Scotland is needed.

I've always had my suspicions about this rule to prevent clubs from seeking redress from the court if they feel wronged by the game's governors or another member club. The clubs have no choice other than to sign up to it (or not play in the country's top leagues) while it prevents them from taking independent action, even in cases where the governors may well have broken the law of the land by their actions. There's something suspicious about a sporting body that feels the need to protect itself from the law!

The timing says it all. This could have been issued immediately, or upon conclusion but instead it comes in the middle? Clear attempt to scare us.

Hearts and Partick win their case at arbitration next week and are reinstated.  The SFA comes along and suspends the membership of both clubs for a season for taking the case to the CoS.  Dundee Utd and Raith find themselves back in the top tier and championship respectively. 

 

Job done at minimal cost to the SPFL and SFA (no compensation).

If we win the case the SFA would look very stupid if they punished us for being found correct by their own Arbitration Panel in brining action against a corrupt organisation.

If we win they should be looking to fine the members of the SPFL Board and their clubs for being corrupt.

 

As others have pointed out though there are persons on both the SFA and SPFL boards.

 

 Corrupt from top to bottom, bring the whole lot crashing down Hearts.

 

 

[Captain Canada]

It wouldn't surprise me that they know they're going to lose and are laying the foundation for a huge points deduction which will effectively relegate both teams.
