Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers have asked Scottish Premiership clubs to pledge £5,000 each towards their costs for legal action

[sandyinroyalblue]

I see Rangers are now being asked to pledge 5k to Arabs, Raith erc to cover their legal costs.

Isn't that taking sides?

Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers have asked Scottish Premiership clubs to pledge £5,000 each towards their costs as they defend legal action taken by Hearts and Partick Thistle.

Championship clubs have been asked to pledge £2,000 each, with League One and League Two sides asked for £1,000.

The legal action by Hearts and Thistle, which is going to arbitration, could result in United, Raith and Cove having their promotions overturned.

The trio have already spent £45,000.

The costs are expected to rise substantially in the next week when the independent arbitration panel meets to decide if Hearts' and Thistle's claim on being reinstated to the leagues or awarded damages of £10m is heard.

On Monday, United, Raith and Cove said they hope "fans of clubs across Scotland" will contribute to a crowdfunding campaign.

Hearts and Thistle initially went to the Court of Session after their relegations from the Premiership and Championship were not prevented by the SPFL's failed proposal for league reconstruction. The proposal would also have given Stranraer a reprieve from League One relegation.

Lord Clark decided the rules of the football authorities mean the case must be heard by an independent tribunal set up through the Scottish FA rules.

 

[The Moon on Mars is Blue]

Not a chance

 

[GF1872]

We should be telling them to gtf, and to be honest I’d be disappointed if we didn’t.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Lol

 

[NorthSideBlue]

They can Fck right off

 

[Kris1872]

Aye so we fcking will.

 

[SG 8]

I would publicly donate money to Hearts and Thistle

 

[JW1988]

 

[Dylanbear]

They cheeky cunts have short memories.

 

[JD1872]

 

[Baloo72]

Did any of them vote to have an independent enquiry when we offered to pay for it?

Why would we possibly support a corrupt vote?
More likely to give Hearts and Thistle 5 grand each, morons

 

[Baba Booey]

I would publicly donate money to Hearts and Thistle

This is exactly what I said last week when this first came up.

 

[Bridgend-loyal]

I really hope we don't do this. Otherwise we deserve all that we get, As good as the board have been, someone needs to step up and say what we are all thinking, GTF.

 

[The Crimson King]

So we fcking will.

If anything we should head to Tynecastle and Firhill with comically large cheques for 5k to hand over. Even, or especially, if they don't need it.

 

[southfork loyal]

We better not give them a penny

 

[yosser hughes]

ten grand cheque on its way to tynecastle instead

 

[laloyal]

 

[norm1890]

it’s farce on top of farce

 

[earnger]

Shit stirring of the highest order, we should publicly donate 5k to the crowd funding for the documentary into the bheasts at cbc.

 

[SuperGers07]

We better not give them a penny

We won’t

 

[Shengus Malengus]

We better not give them a penny

Rest easy, mate.

There’s more chance of me getting a gobble off of Kelly Brook.

 

[SuffolkGer]

They've got some nerve asking us, but asking League 2 clubs for 1k? That's fucking shambolic, I'd be disgraced if that was my club. Trampy behaviour is fitting of that bunch but begging for 1k from the likes of Elgin and Cowdenbeath has to be an all time low.

Definitely the behaviour of "champions"

 

[Div1872]

Tell them to GTF

They took out the action so they pay for it

We should publicly say No Thanks

 

[temperance]

I can’t see the likes of Ross County or St Johnstone coughing up £5k each

 

[Mason Boyne]

So if we actually agree with Hearts and Thistle, would they still ask for 5k?

 

[Scoot1975]

tell them to bolt,not a chance in hell should we even be entertaining that

 

[KuwaitBear]

Remember when they all said they didn't need us?

 

[Jimidh]

Loving their predicament - GTF!!

 

[Roddy1968]

 

[Dbear 65]

Remember those tickets you told us to hang on to for the abandoned game?

 

[Rangerista]

Aye right, so we will.

 

[london_bluenose]

Can we send them an envelope with 5 pennies and a jobbie in it?

 

[Mark-Penny]

Just another way of putting pressure on Hearts and Thistle. They can take a flying %^*& to themselves!

 

[possil bear]

No chance Rangers should tell them to do one

 

[True Blue]

Incredible that they would even have the cheek to ask.

 

[Russ H]

The cheque is in the post honest! Zoomers

 

[chilebear]

Only if they cut our grass with a pair of scissors, then clean the toilets with a toothbrush after a full house.

Absolute cheeky barstewards. Not one came forward in our time of need

 

[warfieldranger]

Just another ploy to delay the arbitration process. By the time all their fans empty their piggy banks the Premiership will have restarted so it will be too late to change anything.

 

[Boldvale]

I dont want Rangers to ignore this plea. This deserves a GTF statement, explaining that Rangers have canvassed their fans as others did back in 2012 and are now carrying out their wishes, so GTF.

 

[SmokieBear]

Rangers should say nothing and give them nothing. Treat them with contempt.

 

[si72]

 

[DannyG]

Who gives a flying 5k %^*& about any of those pre warned prick's I'd rather pour petrol over it set it alight and shove it up Bungcasters arse

 

[david1982]

Get tae %^*&.

 

[John Mckillop]

Id give them 5000







Embassy coupons

 

[Hugo Baws]

Hopefully we come out with a Huge GIRFUY statement along with a 5 figure donation towards the legal costs of Hearts & Partick.

 

[Mustang mad]

Rangers should say nothing and give them nothing. Treat them with contempt.

nah,
we should hold a socially distanced press conference , to tell them that to donate would be seen to be taking sides. This aint our fight, so we are giving nothing
GIRUY all

 

[Snakehips]

We should agree to donate £5k on the provision that we send it in cash via Royal Mail.

Then send them a big box of shit instead. And I mean real shit.

 

[JD1872]

Micky Mellon should pay it out of his Viz royalty money

 

[abz_bear]

It’s understood Rangers replied with a massive “LOL”
