SPFL Disciplinary Investigations

[Spellczech]

1 hour ago, Ex member of the SaS said:

This is what I have been on about. WE should have said something before the final game. Too late now as they will ignore it and back their officials. We should be making it clear we will not accept these officials next season. Sevco did this so why can't we?

I don't agree with that - the club had to stay quite and let the squad focus on the Celtic game. We fans found the dodgy penalty hard to get over so it must've been even harder for the players.

 

The governing bodies are full of chatter about criticism of officials being too strong and pitch invasions but they are entirely missing the most pertinent point that drove both these things - an entirely identifiable and concerted pattern of wrong decisions, omissions, and law breaks which over the course of 2 Celtic games, 2 Hearts games and 2 Motherwell games conspired to give Celtic a 4 point swing from what correct officiating would have resulted in.

[Tynecastle Valhalla]

I’d like to know why they are doing this now.

 

Seems a bit odd.

 

 

[gnasher75]

It's all gone very quiet.

 

Anyone know the usual timescale for the result of investigations? 

 

I really wish Hearts would say something even just that this investigation is ongoing so we can't comment at this stage, just to remind everyone of this issue and that it's not going away.

 

I guess this is the live investigation Keith Wyness is referring to.

 

Hearts Standard talking about who Hearts will play in Europe all assumes we finished second. 

 

Hearts have said nothing on that. No concession of the title. No congratulations to Celtic and their team at the SFA/SPFL. No mention of European draw dates.

Yes indeed, it is very quiet.

 

If something is brewing, there is absolutely no way, the club would give any hint of this, because the stakes are just too high.

 

Wyness alludes to something, without actually saying something definitive.

 

No way Hearts Standard would be told that the club are in dialogue with the SPFL/SFA, for fear of compromising any outcome. So HS, will continue to write articles based on the “knowns”.

 

As for timescales, given the potential impact on Euro draws, I cannot see any complaint/appeals process dragging on to any more than a few days before that draw. So if something is afoot, maybe by 7 June?

The thing about this newly announced “investigation” into events at the Celtic V Hearts game is that the SPFL/SFA can drag this out, way past the CL draw date. Meaning, if there was any chance (however remote) in our planned course of action to have Celtic stripped of the title, it would have to be put on hold until the aforementioned ongoing “investigation” had concluded. Because you cannot escalate disputes to CAS et al until all appeals/complaints avenues have been exhausted through the complainants own governing bodies.

 

Neat.

Celtic are not getting stripped of the title.

It is fair enough to say we don't expect the SPFL/SFA to suddenly back down and take the title off Celtic.

 

But as Keith Wyness points out, Hearts have a case. The final match was ended because of a pitch invasion. The rules say that we are entitled to a 3-0 win. That changes the outcome of the league and gives us the CL playoff spot.

 

If we think it's never going to happen because our authorities won't follow their own rules, it's even more reason for pushing this through whatever legal route is open to us.

 

I don't really understand Hearts fans, Hearts minded media and podcasters all saying it's terribly unfair but oh well. They should all be shouting from the rooftops as Celtic would be if it was the other way round.

They won't of course as I'm sure Celtic fans could take guns along to games and no one would say anything.

 

Scottish football is run for them and the whole world knows it now.  A chance to break the glass ceiling and interest new  stakeholders and sponsors presented itself this season with a true great sporting story ??

 

And what happens a SFA organised Cheat fest to keep the establishment club winning its hundred and 50th trophy Snooze Snooze and bore us with the predictable outcome !!

 

Aye custodians of our game right enough !

 

Would be interesting to see if ever Celtic and Rangers got the thick end of the stick from Refs or even reffed in a fair manner ,  do you think they'd still win Everything?? I don't .

 

Would be much like Europe where more often than not the get pumped by any team anywhere near their level with usually lots of fouls the smelly hordes complain about and loads of Red and Yellow Cards they hardly ever see in our League.

.

It wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to have a look at the latter part whilst the SPFL conducting their Hmm Hmm Enquires

Someone worked out on another thread, if accepted that the rate at which VAR decisions are incorrect sits at 17.5% ( in itself a lot considering it’s an evidence based decision interpreted by 4 “ neutral experienced referees, cough!!!) then the chances of getting all 6 of the important decisions wrong in the last two weeks, works out at 1 in 36000, .00027%🤨🧐🤔

Even more so that they have a chance to square it by rightly taking it off the cheating pricks but as said will never happen.

Agreed. I hope the board have more backbone than some on here who would just roll over and die. It is that weakness in people and clubs that has resulted in the situation Scottish football now finds itself. This should be a watershed moment here, the world has witnessed it and those responsible must be held to account. There is also criminality involved as Hearts have had £ millions stolen from them due to the actions of Doncaster and Collum.

What was the outcome of the investigation into the Celtic fans charging up the tunnel at the end of one of their games. Was that when the GB were banned?

I think the SFA engaged an independent body to conduct a thorough investigation. Outsourcing on a whole new scale aka as abdicating responsibility and kicking the can down the road.
 

The other beauty of this approach is that whatever disciplinary action is ultimately suggested, kicking both clubs out of the tournament cannot be one of them. How convenient.

They decided to use some of the Celtic bung to upgrade their investigative suite and are now waiting on Temu to deliver a lookylikey Dyson for the carpet lift. In short, it’s Trumps fault cause the straits of Hormuz are shut and the delivery has stalled, delaying the sweep sweep

[HighTimes]

The second the SFA put out that statement basically admitting that Beaton only gave the penalty against Motherwell because he was scared of the Celtic fans - and absolutely nobody in the Scottish media blinked at a national association as good as admitting the game here is corrupt - was the second everyone knew it was Celtic's title, we wouldn't be allowed to win it, and their scum fans could do whatever they wanted, without repercussions.

But what they perhaps didn't count on was the fact everyone *outside Scotland* could see the corruption this time - there was barely a single voice not obviously Celtic minded who didn't call out it out.

I hope we - the Board, Tony Bloom, whoever - is taking proper legal action against the SFA. It's beyond time this was all blown up and dragged into the legal domain where Masonic handshakes and/or a chorus of 'Fields of Atherny' down the Cladagh Club aren't worth a tuppenny fart.

We have an ever increasing number of inquiries going on, taking a ridiculous length of time to complete if ever. She should be contacting the SFA, SPFL and Police Scotland, get them into Holyrood and ask them what the hell they are doing. Do you job Todd and stop hiding.

Scotland’s top police officer has claimed that disorder and thuggery are “shrugged off” by football authority bodies in Scotland and that “accountability and ownership” is lacking.

 

Chief constable Jo Farrell has called for those involved in violence to face immediate consequences, including sanctions, handed down by the Scottish FA and SPFL.

The First Minister probably told her to “file” all complaints on this topic, after issuing her vanilla replies. After all, she wouldn’t want to be held responsible for full-scale rioting in Glasgow City centre, should any title-stripping ensue, given the riots that were witnessed for just actually winning the title.

People need to remember that the SNP introduced the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012 with the main thrust being to discourage secatarianism at football matches.

All my adult life I have had to make instant life or death decisions and find this silence very frustrating. The longer this goes on the less likely we are, we will get any kind of justice. As I said before, unless the board have evidence that will burn the house down, then we are screwed. Refereeing decisions next season will cost us big time and if we don't get anything out of this, then we will get bugger all next season.

Whatever the outcome it is within the clubs control to punish Celtic for the pitch invasion which endangered our players. 
 

We own the club and perhaps a fan led petition should be put in place to put pressure on and vocalise that we want a 1 season ban on Celtic fans.

Yup it's a Scottish parliament matter. Why no msp has ever asked for a debate in the chamber yet is beyond me. 

A legal change has to come into law ASAP in line with rest of the UK to make it ilegal for anyone to encroach on the field of play. 

Get caught and make an example of them. 

 

As for the celtic fans and the tainted title. 

The would has seen how corrupt the league is.

Is Maxwell just flatly refusing to use the term pitch invasion?

“Entering the pitch”

“Pitch incursions”

“Would the SFA support criminalising pitch invasions?”

[On the suggestion that the Scottish Government could impose Strict Liability:]

”It’s right that football as a game takes charge of its own domain and implementing rules that we can do. We don’t need any influence from others.”

 

The arrogance he has to assume that football is above society itself, when the problems he and his cronies have failed to address – the problems caused by Celtic and rangers fans – they’re enabling them to continue to embarrass Scotland.

Absolutely pathetic but totally expected from Maxwell. 

 

When everyone is saying the same thing, its time to actually take accountability. But no, the SFA dig their heels in further. 

 

Hearts should propose the PGMOL appointments policy. Make clear our thoughts without explicitly saying as much..
