Arsehole rolling out the narrative that all clubs have to take what is going to be dished out. We know what that means.
Theres an easy answer to that. Next world cup in QatarThe journalist should have asked whats your thoughts on Sporting Integrity?
Ross county will be happy for hearts to go down as will others in their own leagues relegation zones.As amusing as it would be to see Hearts relegated I'd sooner they stayed up than his no mark Diddy outfit.
You're not going to keep everyone happy but every team has to fight their own battles here and Ann Budge is well within her rights to do that.
4 points difference with 24 to play for? Anything could happen there and nobody is even mentioning Ross County.
ANN Budge’s threat to take legal action against the SPFL if Hearts are relegated from the Ladbrokes Premiership before the 2019/20 season is completed was last night branded “absolute nonsense” by one former top flight board member.
And the owner of the Tynecastle club, who were four points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership when football was suspended on March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic, has been told to abide by the governing body’s decisions or leave the league.
Budge, who has asked staff and players to take a 50 per cent pay cut in order to avoid a financial meltdown, is unhappy at the prospect of the league placings when the shutdown was brought in deciding which team goes down.
Asked by Sky Sports earlier this month if she would consider taking legal action if Hearts are relegated, she said: “Yes, I would have to because I fundamentally disagree with it.”
However, Stewart Gilmour, the former St Mirren chairman who served on the old SPL board during his time at the Paisley club, is vehemently opposed to involving lawyers in football matters and believes the bottom-placed Premiership side must accept their fate.
“The thought of Hearts taking legal action is interesting,” he said. “This is a league that you are invited to join away at the beginning. Clubs taking legal action just shouldn’t be allowed. If you don’t want to go by the league rules or what the league decides that’s fine, go and play in another league.
“Legal action is what’s caused the problems in the disciplinary system with the compliance officer. It’s not about football any more, it’s about legalities. It was set up originally to keep legalities out of football so that football made its decisions about football and football kept the legal process out of football.
“Now everybody turns up at these things with a lawyer. It becomes a legal case. It has made a real farce of the disciplinary system. We are getting legal decisions, not football decisions
I was involved when the compliance officer was introduced. At the beginning it worked really well under Vincent Lunny. Vincent was exceptionally well respected by the clubs and players because he questioned officials, he questioned things that happened. They didn’t like that, but it was fair and everyone realised it was fair. It has now become farcical.
“The legalities are what has caused most of the problems. This carry on of Hearts threatening to take legal action for me is just nonsense, absolute nonsense. If you don’t want to abide by what the league decides and the league rules then go and play somewhere else, go and find another league.”
Gilmour, who handed control of St Mirren to Gordon Scott and the St Mirren Independent Supporters Association back in 2016, admitted it would be cruel if Hearts, who still have eight games to play, are relegated by an SPFL decision.
But the former businessman, who is still a season ticket holder at the Simple Digital Arena, feels if the Covid-19 outbreak prevents the 2019/20 league season being played to a finish then the Tynecastle club should go down.
“It is a very difficult decision for the directors of the SPFL to make, what happens at the end of the season,” he said. “It would certainly be harsh (if Hearts were relegated), but we are in uncharted territory at the moment.
“It’s not as if we’ve played six games, or eight games. We have played 30 games. We have played 30 of 38 games. That is a huge amount. There is only 20 per cent of the games to go. After 30 games they have got the poorest record. If the league doesn’t finish they are the team that should be relegated, as simple as that.”
They're getting the league, make no mistake. Can see the way the winds blowing here and what came out of belgium today, confirms it for me.
Wonder if there is a picture that could sum St. Boo up during Gilmours time as chairman?
Ah, here it is.
Unfortunately the drip-feeding of all of these articles by random mentally challenged lickspittles is just part of the softening up process for the SPFL doing the inevitable.
Even if it went to a vote in all the leagues, it would be a case of the ones at the bottom on their jack. Most wouldn't be bothered and the ones at the top will be happy with the standings being declared. Wouldn't be many nay sayers left.You can sense things ramping up to that day getting nearer.
Hearts are, imho, the fly in the ointment, if it wasn't for them the awarding of the Scum the title would be done sooner rather than later.
Most Premier Division clubs and their fans are probably not that bothered one way or another if Scum are awarded the title, with only ourselves and Hearts being opposed, both for entirely different reasons. Rangers don't count as their threat of action has been heard countless times without any action. So appease Hearts by extending the league and SPFL can announce season concluded and pay much need funds to the clubs.
There looking after themselves, same as the rest will be. Sporting and integrity are 2 words that don't belong together.Another st booo mupet being let out today
St Mirren season ticket holder is not in favour of lawyers getting involved in Scottish football.
Me neither. Especially the last three Compliance Officers.
It's a shite attitude in any situation to be fair.'If you don't like it you know where the door is'
What a shite attitude to apply to s situation like this
Hearts will do what is needed to avoid the dropAnother one doing Celtics bidding for them and without mentioning the title at all.
Like all sleekit mhanky crooks the real villains never get their hands dirty but get others to do it on their behalf.
The number that have been wheeled out in the last few days suggests that they are, in fact, worried that it may not go their way.
Is it possible Hearts have told Liewell that they won't do any sort of under the table deal?
Last sentence sums it up!You can sense things ramping up to that day getting nearer.

Ok might of known him.
I think you knew my mate.
Ex kit man A.
Fu.ckin moonball.
Not so much that. Its sounds good to them, theyll be happy to see hearts down as will ross county and Hamilton. They've just not said it publicly.First Fitzpatrick and now this pr@ck. Have the buddies got a dunt from the peados?
At the beginning it worked really well under Vincent Lunny.
I stopped reading at this point.
If there was a way of resigning in the wake of a decision favouring the Paedophile Enablers which allowed us to start in the English Pyramid at National League level I'd take it. Realise of course that there's next to no chance of this happening though. If there is a way of legally challenging any such decision successfully then I'm all for that. I'm sure we won't waste money if there's no realistic chance of success. Sporting Integrity what a joke. If they are awarded the title and have to continue up here we the fans should never let the fact it was never earned be forgotten. We should also boycott as far as possible anything that assists any other club which supports such a decision.Can we leave the SPFL please ?
