I think he’s just made it certain that Hearts fans will not be heading to Raith Rovers anytime soon. Useless cock that he is.

**** Raith Rovers. One of the most vocal opposers to us. Boycott, boycott and boycott. 

[redjambo]

Raith Rovers voted to end the season early in April.

 

They then voted not to investigate the Rangers dossier in May.

 

In the last-ditch reconstruction vote in June, they voted against the reconstruction that would have saved our place in the Premiership while preserving their own promotion.

 

And now they want to "build bridges"?

 

The arrogance is simply breath-taking.

Don't know how many times this has been covered. Ann Budge has said she would not have voted for any club to be relegated under these circumstances. She has more integrity than the rest of the Premiership owners/chairmen put together. I, and many others, believe her. 

Your comment is typical of the kind of pointless rubbish that has been used, by people who clearly favour other clubs, as a lame excuse for the shameful and spiteful behaviour of far too many SPFL clubs.

Don't judge Ann Budge, for all the other errors of judgement she has made, as being anywhere near as devious and dishonest as too many others involved in ruining Scottish football.

Be sure of this, it's Hearts, Partick and Stranraer who got shafted this time, as well as a few other clubs who have missed out on rewards. It will be somebody else next time, and after this fiasco, the SPFL board and the SFA have carte blanche to do what they like to anybody, except one or two institutions.

 

This, big time. Just watch them go now. They know that virtually nothing can stop them doing whatever they want. I hope we keep calling them out, despite being almost lone voices in doing so.

Yep, they all are.  I will never go to these grounds again.  Wonder how he will feel when we do play them at starks and we fill the FOH coffers

[Bellion]

Absolutely **** Raith Rovers.  

 

Like many others, I'm done with away games for the foreseeable.  But everything's a bit raw just now and I'm sure people will eventually end up going again.  However long that takes, I really hope the majority of Hearts fans don't forget how badly Raith have conducted themselves throughout this.  Absolutely shameless *****.  I hope they rot.

Listened earlier. Another football dinosaur. On one hand he says he would have been happy with Falkirk and other promoted but then voted against due to the rhetoric at the time of the indicative vote

This is going to be huge for Ann the way she plays this going forward. 

If she plays the bigger person routine , which is the easiest way to go and tries to cosy back up to the clubs that shafted us , she is seriously misjudging the debts of feeling yet again amongst  the Hearts fans . 

This is massive for her now and me along with many other Hearts fans will be watching and listening very carefully  for her opinions going forward .

I’d quite like to see the reaction for other clubs  if, for example, she said LPs will be frozen at current levels, save for home league and cup games, for the next two years to reflect the feelings of the support. 😄

Consistently what? They voted to end the season early, against the dossier investigation, but then in favour of reconstruction.

 

Jim McInally had a right old go at Ann Budge, if you remember: https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish-football/peterhead-fc/peterhead-boss-jim-mcinally-not-pleased-hearts-owner-was-hurt-by-comments-but-says-budges-action-since-spfl-shutdown-have-been-forceful/

 

Later, the Peterhead chairman expressed support for Ann's reconstruction proposals: http://www.peterheadfc.org/2020/06/16/peterhead-chairman-bemused-by-unfair-relegations-and-lack-of-support-for-14-10-10-10/

 

They've been friendlier than a lot of other clubs, but of all of them, Peterhead have probably been the most inconsistent.

This comment is just not true. Ann Budge was very clear about looking after ALL teams and by reconstruction. She has said it several times so you are basically calling her a liar which is dangerous territory with libel laws......

 

 

 

 

[redjambo]

Just a reminder. The six clubs who, as far as information has been made available, were consistent in voting for (i) the leagues not to be terminated early, (ii) an investigation into the Rangers dossier; (iii) reconstruction in the indicative vote were:

 

Hearts, ICT, Falkirk, Partick, Edinburgh City, Stranraer.

 

East Fife voted our way until that reconstruction vote, while (unless anyone knows otherwise), Rangers did too but their reconstruction vote is unknown.

Ann Budge has to strike a tone of professional courtesy, both when visiting other clubs boardrooms or when other clubs boards come to Tynecastle. 

 

Hearts should make tickets available for us to buy, as usual. It's up to us as a support to unite and not take them up. I want it to be absolutely clear to every other club, the SFA, the SPFL and the media that it's each and every Hearts support voting with their feet, and not the club making an arbitrary decision for the fanbase. It also means when tickets for any of ICT, Thistle, Edinburgh City fixtures are available, we can all buy tickets as usual. 

 

I have no doubt this approach will mean some Hearts fans travel will travel away, but I'd hope this number will be measured in the very low hundreds rather than the away supports usually seen.

Bournemouth contemplating legal action about their relegation.  (not a hope in hell of being successful)

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53571916

 

Bournemouth's board is expected to discuss whether to pursue any legal challenge over the goalline technology error in the Aston Villa v Sheffield United match in June.

Hawk-Eye apologised after the Blades were denied a goal in the match after the ball had crossed the line.

The match finished 0-0 and Villa ended the season one point above relegated Bournemouth in the Premier League.
