Pretty clear guidance, and we got a name check! Better than the Cup win, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe theyll actually learn to spend what they have and not just speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything good comes out of this pandemic, hopefully it will be football, especially in England coming back into real world & stop paying players multi thousand pounds per week. I won't hold my breath. Have been watching a few games & without the atmosphere of the packed crowds the football looks average. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Court sits for 2 hours & decides to go into a 3rd day. Should have sat to midnight if requied.No wonder there is a huge backlog. I was once involved in a court case. Turned up at 9 am sat in waiting room until about 11.30. Called to give evidence & then court adjourned for lunch. Seeing as I had given my evidence I buggered off home & never even bothered to see the outcome. Utter farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observe a courtroom for even a little while and you can see what a huge amount of money is being wasted daily. Lawyers hanging about for hours waiting on their case then asking for a deferral.

Abernethy Saint Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Read the Secret Barristers book. It is about the English system, but much applies to Scotland. The actual core justice systems are pretty good, but operate abysmally badly, mainly due to daft cutbacks which have actually cost more money in the long run, and which daily see hundreds of innocent people probably wrongfully convicted, and hundreds of victims probably wrongly denied justice. Most folk arn’t affected by this at any given time of course, and therefore give zero feks, but the system is close to breaking down, which ultimately will affect most of us in one way or another. For example, most folk think they have a right to trial by jury - watch this space...... Having said all that, there is zero possibility of the Hearts case delaying the start of the season, or the season being voided after its start. They have weeks yet.

Judge rules it's for S.F.A. to make the decision Ha ha. 2 & half days of Court costs just for S.F.A . to rubber stamp SPFL' s decision. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Looks like after 3 days of wasted valuable court time & thousands of lawyers fees the ball is where it should have been in the first place SFA court of arbitration. How long will it take them to appoint the independent panel the judge is calling for. Hearts should be suspended at least for bringing Scottish football into disrepute.

Could just fill a stand full of kids as going by recent statements they wont need to physically distance. I take it Mr Cosgrove has been reading the forum again.

south inch Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just when I thought the Hearts/Partick case had gone awful quiet out comes the news that both clubs have been issued with a Notice of Complaint by the SFA for breaking the rules by going to Court instead of SFA arbitration. Hearing set for 6th August. As the saying goes "that will stop them farting in Church"! Gives them plenty of time to enquire about entry to the Northern Premier League Division 1.

Cagey Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 SPFL are going to allow clubs to have 6 loanees this season. Good for the big clubs getting games for their youths but not so good for the hundreds of professional footballers without a club.. They are also considering 5 subs like they had in last few EPL games. This will give an advantage to teams with big squads & strength in depth.

I think the results did come back negative but were not received until later on the Wednesday night. So should be oaky. Clubs are now back on twice weekly testing so obviously going to be a bigger backlog at the testing centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
