King Of The Cat Cafe Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Out of curiosity, do players in a Championship-winning team receive individual medals? If so, is there any qualification criteria: get one regardless of playing five games or 25? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Section N Rules Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 25% of matches I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTJ Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I remember the old First Division of 18 teams and 34 games gave medals to anyone with 8 appearances. That suggests a quarter rounded down - so maybe 6 games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Italian Lambretta Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 They should gather up all the winning medals, melt them down and cast them into a metal cock. Then send it back to Dungcaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malinga the Swinga Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 For someone like Gnando, Kingsley, Halliday, or anyone who didn't play last season, why shouldn't they take medal. Might be first thing they've won in career, and wasnt there fault we are where we are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

i8hibsh Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 You would have to be a special kind of loser to do anything bar chuck it out the second you received it. I therefore fully expect most of the squad to keep theirs. This is where we are under an owner who probably sees coming in fourth in an egg and spoon race and third in the three legged race as an achievement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This, when you consider the number of footballers who never come within a sniff of winning anything in their careers. I would not blame any player for considering it recognition of doing a job this season - especially those who had no part in us being in the Championship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bunny Munro Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 There 100% was the last time we were in the championship. If you look at the squad lists from late on that season a few players came out the cold so they could qualify. Kenny Anderson and Brad McKay were certainly two.

credit card Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 They've earned the medals by winning the league. Many of them haven't earned our respect for the way they did it. They are the ones who have to look in the mirror before depositing it in a drawer. As for the trophy it deserved to be pi55ed in and the handled dug-durted (new verb). Doncaster should then be asked to pick it up in a full house Tynecastle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Logan and Souttar were players 26 and 27 to be given league game time this season so far. Edited April 12 by DETTY29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTJ Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Per London Hearts there are 23 players with 6 or more appearances. Stewart, Brandon and Souttar have 1 game and Logan 2. If 25 medals is correct then they might all get one. Medals are precious to players as outside Celtic/Rangers few win more than an occasional trophy. Ask Gary Mackay, Craig Levein, Henry Smith, Walter Kidd or John Robertson (yes I know, but he played as many minutes as Denis Prytchynenko). Robbo & Denis won Cup winners medals and I know they both value them despite not playing. This league is not a major trophy but you can only finish first in your league - 4 National titles and 3 second tier titles for us in 150 years is not a great return!

martoon Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Don't know the criteria for a medal now but it was 10 league appearances when Hearts won the title in 1958 and 60. Willie Bauld managed just 9 in one of those seasons due to injury. Hearts had to ask the SFL for permission to have a medal independently struck for Willie and they agreed.

DETTY29 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) According to SPFL Rule C39 C39 The Company shall present to the Champion Club of the League 25 League Championship Medals for Players, other staff and Officials. Additional League Championship Medals may be purchased from the Company with the prior consent of the Board. Only those Players who participated in 25% or more of the League Matches for the Champion Club in the relevant Season will be eligible to receive such medals. However SPFL Rule C41 states C41 The Company shall present to each Division Champion Club in each Season, 25 Division Champion Club medals for Players who have Played for the relevant Division Champion Club in the League in the relevant Season and for other Club staff and Officials. Additional Division Champion Club medals may be purchased from the Company by a Division Champion Club with the prior consent of the Board. Appears rules are slightly different between THE Champion club and the other 3 divisions. Edited April 12 by DETTY29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
