Gambo Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Done, in a very polite but hard hitting manner. I told them as a paying customer who spends a lot of hard earned money and time following football I EXPECT an answer.

Our club would have a duty to listen, The SFA, as we have already found out today, do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, be careful, you do not want to get ubti trouble now, be polit, but ask the questions the journalists refuse to ask. Imagine if, say, 1,000 Hearts fans sent letters to their home address, especially if it was signed for - it would be a real pain in the Rse for them. Sometimes if there are bulk signed for letters, they will only ask for one signature - still a pest though, especially if the mail was staggered so they got 50 or 60 each day.

colinmaroon Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have written via snail mail (hard copy) to the GFA. Waste of time, I know, but I feel better. 30 December 2008 The Secretary The Scottish Football Association Ltd Hampden Park Glasgow, G42 9AY Dear Mr Smith I am writing to you concerning the rejection of the appeal against the red card for Marius Zaliukas of Hearts after the Aberdeen v Hearts game. I have to say that, having watched the replay of the incident many times, there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the Hearts’ player did not move his head towards the Aberdeen player and, in fact, it is the Aberdeen player who puts his head towards Zaliukas. I repeat, there is absolutely no doubt from the television evidence. I would have been astounded, therefore, that the appeal has been rejected, if it was not for the fact that it was down to Mr Brines refusing to admit his mistake. The treatment of Heart of Midlothian Football Club by referees and, in particular, the treatment of Lithuanian players, has been deplorable. In fact, it was so bad last year, that the press even highlighted it at the start of this year. This did seem to have an effect, because from then until the end of the season, things seem to square off more evenly with the treatment of players from other teams. However, it would seem this season that we are back to square one. Mr Brines’ display on Saturday was arguably one of the worst, and that indeed is saying something! Decisions against both teams were, if it wasn't so sad, almost hilarious! His decision to send off Marius Zaliukas was just one of many awful decisions. However, the rejection by the SFA of the appeal goes beyond an incompetent display by a match official. There can be no doubt, just as there is no doubt that the Hearts’ player did not head-butt the Aberdeen player, that justice has not been done. The credibility of the SFA is in serious question. When clear evidence has been ignored, the conclusion can only be that there is indeed an agenda and this is not just paranoia from a bunch of football supporters. I realise that this letter is probably a waste of time, because the agenda is set, and the incompetence will continue. The question is, is it incompetence, or something worse?

Hackney Hearts Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just sent my thoughts on the matter... THE APPEAL SYSTEM I have always been prepared to accept that there is no hidden agenda or bias in Scottish referees, and that any mistakes that may occur are simply that - mistakes. But when Ian Brines refuses to see - FROM CLEAR TV EVIDENCE - that he got the Marius Zaliukas red card decision blatantly wrong - what are we supposed to think? It makes no sense. Is he just too embarrassed to own up? This just doubles his incompetence. If this sort of idiocy is going to continue, then a law must change; the law which dictates that the referee involved has to admit his mistake before an appeal can be successful. We might then get some degree of objectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$Tino$ Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 We could all write emails to the SFA and the Scottish Media but seriously what good does it do? As mentioned by previous posters what is the point? you get a standard reply by the SFA, and I think we all know how the west coast media will deal with our emails (straight to the recycle bin). Does anyone have anything idea's on how to get our point across. Unfortunately I don't think banners and chants of 'SFA W**k, w**k, w**k' and 'Brines your a w.......' would do us any good. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get the message across considering our media and the football body won't help us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackney Hearts Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Too polite.... Try again !! I know, I know, that was the idea.
