No problem but seriously, this guy is at it. Jumping on every thread talking nonsense and annoying folk for the hell of it, pretty sure that's also not what the forum is about.

As i said the other day. He's just one poster.

If he annoys you so much just ignore him.👍

Whatever. He's annoying everyone though.

Well i've gave you my advice (not that you asked for it).

You can let him annoy you or you can choose to ignore him. It's entirely up to you.

They will. The ajudicators that is.

Monday i think will be D-Day.

Incidentally i read earlier on that if Hearts and Partick do get awarded compo then the amount has to remain undisclosed.

That to me seems totally unacceptable given that that money will come out of the pockets of fellow SPFL member clubs. Or to put it another way, out of the pockets of the supporters who finance and keep afloat their clubs.

The arbitration process isn't being undertaken by the SPFL.

As fans, I think we should just be cool: there's not a thing we can do about the timing of the whole debacle. No point in getting uptight about something you have no ability to influence. Fuck Hearts though 
 

 

Well said Pat. The hale things been slowly mair stressful as it's gone on under current stressful situations, Covid, lockdown, furlough, folk worried about vulnerable family & jobs etc never mind our passion for oor team having no fkn release.

Time for cool heads aye, for sure if you can and not the time to loose it with each other although I'm not sure TT is falling out with fellow Arabs (in the main) or bight to infiltrators which has rarely been an issue on this forum.

Who is on SFA panel  ?

What clubs are they from ?

Is there an avenue for asking Lord Clark for an extension  ?

Given that the hearing was finished on Wednesday, and the arbitrators have taken since then to consider their verdict, not to jinx it or that, but you’d have to think they’ve taken the option of awarding Hearts and Partick compensation, and are simply taking all this time to consider what the figure is.

which may explain the phantom BBC report from the other day. Maybe Mr McLaughlin jumped the gun. Perhaps was told something ‘off the record’

 

No, McLaughlin was on sportsound on Saturday suggesting things were looking promising for Hearts/Thistle (assume speculating) so certainly didn’t have any knowledge on vote going our way.

But why would they get compensated unless they won their case?

And if they win their case it's for reinstatement (as if the vote to end the season didn't happen).

I think Hearts put out a compensation figure as a fall back and they made it as ridiculous as possible, their court case at the CoS was for reinstatement to the top flight.

1) We don't know.

2) They are not from clubs, they are individuals with legal experience who were on the SFA list. Hearts and Partick picked one, the SPFL picked one, and then the two of them picked a chairperson.

3) An extension from what?

3)  An extension so's panel can stuff around some more reaching decision.
For practical purposes this would allow season to start and it's a done deal irrespective.

3a) When is his Lordship's 28 days up  ? ... is it 28 day or day after 28th ?

Could this happen ?   Say for example - panel to stuff around till Tuesday,  draft response Wednesday.  Get slot with his Lordship Thursday / Friday,  fartarse around some more, ask for extension till the next week by which time it's all a moot point.

Plausible  ?  I don't know.   But I'd imagine representatives from SFA SPFL won't be in any great rush given increasingly tight deadline.    . ..... Also the nearer that deadline gets the greater the leverage on HOM/Partick to accept compo.

But then what do I know ?
 - The law works in mysterious ways
-  Decision is a contradiction in terms when it comes to SFA/SPFL

If Hearts thought they had a chance of reinstatement, surely they’d be in training

 
Only Premiership clubs have permission to train from the government I believe so they couldn’t train even if they wanted to.

Good points
 

If Hearts were to win their case to remain in the Premiership, given the fact they are not currently training as per government rules, the season would have to be delayed to allow them to get "up to speed".

Consequently, if we had to stay in the Championship as a result of the above happening, we SHOULD be entitled to a similar amount of compo as Hearts/Thistle have indicated in court papers.

If the season is delayed this will affect the TV deal, as well as all clubs preparations.

I can't see this being allowed to happen. A small amount of compo may be offered to both clubs then recovered for the misdemeanor of taking the case to the Courts initially.

Hearts were already 80% relegated based on the numbers of games played. Their claim is for what they say would be the cost of a season in the Championship, although they were selected for relegation/demotion without a ball being kicked.
Hard knecked bastards

 
If (and this is a very big if) they can prove that the vote wasn't held in accordance with company law, then I'd suggest that they will have been vindicated in pursuing a case. Wouldn't you have expected United to do something similar, at the very least take whatever action they deem necessary to protect the interests of the club.

Also 80% relegated doesn't mean a thing, as we've seen by the numerous "great escapes" that happen in various leagues every year.

As a United fan, I hope the Hearts/Partick motion fails, but I also won't criticise Hearts for bringing the case, if (again, big if) they have genuine evidence and can prove that company law was broken. It'll be up to the SPFL to find some sort of an solution if that happens.

Let's hope it doesn't though.
