Hearts/Partick Thistle SFA Charge (Notice of Complaint)

[Scoot1975]

From my reading she should have gone to arbitration first but it is possible after the arbitration ,they can go back to the court depending on circumstances.

How the hell could they go to arbitration first knowing that there is not a chance in hell that they will be impartial??i think they have done the right thing

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Got a funny feeling that's why we backed down.

The behaviour and conduct of the SPFL and now the SFA is disgraceful.

Blatant corruption.

Trying to stop the truth coming out, the bastards.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Neil Doncaster is on the SFA board, isn't he?

How could hearts have taken this to the SFA before the courts when Doncaster wrote to UEFA to call the leagues before the vote was even put to the clubs.

That was Ian Maxwell’s but your point still stands wrt an alliance of corruptions

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Remember when they were complaining about the additional work being caused at a time when they had to furlough staff.

Remember when they complained in court that they would not be able to get all the documents together in time that Hearts wanted released for the hearing due to the administrative burden.

Then they do this right in the middle of the arbitration process

They must have been able to hire a few more low-level paper gatherers from Harper MacLeod.

 

[SSR]

I actually want Rangers to come up with a proposal for a breakaway league. Would it be recognised by UEFA and would it be competitive? Well the answer is no, but it would not be rigged and would f*ck Celtic and the SPFL for evermore.
Scottish football in its present state needs torched.

One club and their agenda have ruined Scottish football.

 

[Govanfront]

The SFA don't arbitrate anything.

Do they not oversee the arbitration process and appoint the arbitration members?
If so no way can they remain involved now.

 

[alex wright]

This corrupt little backwater is the laughing stock of the football world.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this sinister little mentally challenged run shitehole.

We’re not a laughing stock to be fair. No one will notice as they couldn’t care less about our league.

@Valley Bluenose has posted good information earlier in the thread.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Lol they really are a corrupt cable.

More negative than positive

 

[StuGers]

They use the Compliance Officer like their own Gestapo.

What ever happened to Tom Boyd’s charge? That’s really went quiet that one.

You knew it was coming.

liewell making sure league starts so not to upset sponsors of pedo fc ! Until he is removed this will not change. Corrupt and rotten to the core

 

[whitbyontbear]

Most of my relatives are dead now so, I no longer have a reason to go back to Scotland. As a Canadian citizen now and avid follower of the Maple Leafs and the Blue Jays, it is a constant wonder to me why I get so worked up over football doings. But, once a Rangers fan, always a Rangers fan I suppose.

So Doncaster probably gets a fee for that too

 

[Allyscottsquiff]

They will think of something trust me.

Just for being us

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

By arbitration do they mean CAS?

 

[Simply a Bear]

Anyone else just sickened by Scottish football? It has just been consumed by corruption and politics.

We never actually discuss football in this country.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Lol they really are a corrupt cable.

We have a live one here.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

More negative than positive

No surprise the electrician spotted that one.

 

[Dumfriesbear]

What ever happened to Tom Boyd’s charge? That’s really went quiet that one.

Surprise surprise no action Im sure.

I can see an interim interdict stopping the league starting maybe that is what the fat Japanese wants so they will have fans in the ground when it does.

 

[Glasstigers]

It would be scandalous if it wasn’t so hilariously handled.

a shower of corrupt bastards, each and every mentally challenged lickspittle member who are in bed with them.
Hearts and partick have little to zero chance of getting anything from this at all, not when the SFA have their manky paws all over this now.

The ken livingston approach to democracy

 

[TynesideTrueBlue]

Scottish Football is truly beyond repair it’s fcuked. I truly despise it.

 

[Masterblue]

Maybe they read the scribbling‘s of Dalgliesh at the weekend.
Null & Void!

 

[Ger77]

Neil Doncaster is on the SFA board, isn't he?

How could hearts have taken this to the SFA before the courts when Doncaster wrote to UEFA to call the leagues before the vote was even put to the clubs.

If they didn't go to the courts then they wouldn't get the current arbitration format and all documents disclosed. Usual bully tactics here.

 

[Arkanoid]

Very little chance ( my opinion only) that it will go back to court).

I don't see how it doesn't, in theory restructuring makes it all go away which will delay the league.
They get paid off...SPFL have no money for compo and the club's won't vote to allow it anyway.
I think it's more likely to go back to court unless they suddenly find the millions to keep Hearts quiet.

 

[ndr429j]

Could go all the way to CAS for a final out come ?

 

[dh1963]

They are fighting this hard they know the cable could be about to crumble

They are getting wired in?

 

[sg9375]

A notice of complaint for not rolling over and accepting being expelled from their current leagues. Only in Scotland can this farce happen!

 

[rtid]

I think the SFA (and SPFL) have scored a massive own goal with this.

Suspect that clubs will now start and publicly call for an investigation into wtf is going on.

 

[Arkanoid]

If they didn't go to the courts then they wouldn't get the current arbitration format and all documents disclosed. Usual bully tactics here.

There's a reason why lawyer McKenzie was on the list we wanted chased from the game

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Remember they fined us for taking them to court to overturn the illegal transfer ban that they imposed on us.

I wouldn't be surprised if the spfl hit us with a charge in regards to the dossier.

It's all part of the bully boy tactics that those in charge use to control clubs.

 

[Govanfront]

@Valley Bluenose has posted good information earlier in the thread.

Yip read some of it mate. I still think the SFA have too heavy a hand in it for the full process to be totally impartial. Who draws up the list of volunteers and who minutes the meetings, appoints the venue, pays the expenses etc ?
I still think the SFA should be nowhere near this.
Plus IMO they are corrupt to the core

 

[ChildOfGoth]

You could argue that, I agree. But in terms of this charge they are/and were clearly in breach of the rule.
Could have wasted a week in court and the money it cost just to end up with another fine, or worse...

So what process you reckon they mis-used and what should they have done CC ?

 

[Arkanoid]

I think the SFA (and SPFL) have scored a massive own goal with this.

Suddenly we've got Ayr and Cowdenbeath calling for a Commissioner to call the shots at the SPFL rather than the clubs, all a little bizarre considering they backed the executives and despite there being no cost to them, did not want an investigation into them. Wonder what changed!

Don’t break your back supposing Mate

 

[turps100]

Don't think so, their lawyer fought for that but the Lord gave pretty strict instructions that it had to be legal people and how they had to be picked.

You would think so but in our little shitey back water you would never bet on it
I hate Scottish football

 

[largsloyalist]

Can see this going to CAS and exposed for the shambles it is.

Does this happen elsewhere?

 

[Subway Bear]

We have a live one here.

Got a wee bit excited didnt he, best we all just stay neutral and bring him back to earth.

 

[ibroxbound]

No surprise the electrician spotted that one.

Certainly not down to earth.

 

[Subway Bear]

I'm hoping the judge has taken note and hauls them all back into court and give sthe a roasting. If the football fans of this country can't see the blatant corruption going on, it really is time to burn it to the ground.

 

[Polar bear]

I love Scotland but I am glad I emigrated 30 years ago
from our now republican infested country .i come back every fours years to visit family but now i dont know if I can anymore.

I have been back to Scotland once in 45 years (once was enough)My Canadian wife hated Glasgow.been to England many a time though.

 

[Ger77]

Feels like the SFA trying to influence the arbitration before it's started by formally and publicly making it known that Hearts and Partick Thistle broke the rules and are in the wrong. This perception they're trying to create wont work with the lawyers, just the media but I guess that's their audience anyway to influence the public along with the other member clubs.

 

[IbroxForever]

The corruption shows no end with spfl and sfa.

Hearts and Thistle must have something really good on them.

Other teams need to back both teams openly now.

 

[Carlton The Bear]

Suddenly we've got Ayr and Cowdenbeath calling for a Commissioner to call the shots at the SPFL rather than the clubs, all a little bizarre considering they backed the executives and despite there being no cost to them, did not want an investigation into them. Wonder what changed!

The weather. That balloon in charge at Ayr should learn to say less for a start.

 

[govanrear1987]

Owner of Ayr is a stupid typical loud mouth yank

 

[Hellfire]

Scottish football is f*cked! It needs scrapped and starting again.

 

[Coplandbear]

Looking back I wonder if any club will revisit our dossier.

The SPFL/SFA are completely unfit for purpose.

The mentally challenged elements/placeman/self interest to one particular club have to go.

Of course it’s a subtle threat against the clubs.
You’d think they were trying to hide something

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

So what process you reckon they mis-used and what should they have done CC ?

The only option they had was to go straight to arbitration.
Of course the problem is that we know the rule itself is highly questionable, it's as others have said the SFA basically saying you can't question us so shut up. That is morally ridiculous.

But it's the rules of membership.

In a way it reminds me of the singing/UEFA/FARE debate. We can say that we are unfairly targeted and the rule is nonsense, but it's their rules and we have to abide by them.

 

[TimzRFudz]

I hope that there's some background discussion about a breakaway. Part of me doesn't really GAF about the other clubs any more, we provided them with an opportunity to blow it wide open a few weeks ago and the majority of them shat the bed.

But the whole thing stinks so badly now that I would love to see us and whoever else is with us tell them to ram it and look at some sort of breakaway provision (cue biscuit puns). I genuinely don't think it's fixable with the current fuckers in charge, and they don't really look like going anywhere soon.
