  1. If they are going to court against a governing body they are clearly appealing something. The boards politics are clearly different to that of ours but again I really have no idea what you are getting at now tbh.
  2. Being racist/sectarian can often be intwined with political displays, sadly even more these days but you can't blanket it all as the same hence why we keep getting constant nonsensical fines yet we haven't had a ban from Uefa of any real meaning, certainly not a points deduction. I think everyone knows the UEFA system is a bit of whip round for them really. They obviously do take action over actual racist actions eventually but you simply can't give it the same sanctions as political gestures. Eh? A club appeals something that they don't believe they are guilty of, automatically makes them guilty?
  3. It isn't that simple. If something isn't deemed racist/sectarian etc by the courts I'm not sure how a footballing body can decide it is. If a club/player thinks they are being unfairly treated they are still allowed to go above that body. It's a bit of a minefield to them really but if they were ever to try and clamp down on it.
  4. Not sure why it's been treated with such shock from the media given it was suggested as far back the creation of the third European competition and almost inevitable with the extended champions league now. I know trickle down economics is bollocks but there should be an increase in solidarity payments though on the back of this.
  5. I wouldn't be adverse to having a national stadium elsewhere but moving a semi that will sell out to a stadium that is about a third of the size of Hampden is a monumentally stupid suggestion.
  6. I think deciphering what is and isn't sectarian is an absolute minefield. Not even the courts can agree on it so absolutely no chance the SPFL could either.
  7. I know I just found it to be a strange example as he was seen as a big prospect after I think he was one of the stand outs from an England youth team that lifted a trophy iirc. He was hardly plucked from thin air and unsure how relevant someone like him would be to Hibs. As for the joint ownership/franchise stuff I think it should be banned in football however I totally get why Hibs fans are in favour of this deal. The idea that Bournemouth are now some powerhouse compared to Hibs these days still frazzles my brain a bit though.
  8. Would tend to agree they are trying recoup the costs from them and wouldnt be right for the rest of the league to absorb it really.
  9. I think he's played a bit of a blinder acting like he's being empathetic by saying he's familiar with the pressure being there before but ramping it up at the same time on them.
  10. I had problems using it with chrome a few weeks ago so been using another one since
  11. Was it not McIntyre that threw Michael Stewart totally under the bus with the Jim Traynor debacle. Yes Stewart insinuated that Sevco were up to more shenanigans since he (Traynor) became involved with them but the way McIntyre made a huge deal about it and the way he white knighted Traynor was utterly pathetic. He was saying things like 'hes not here to defend himself!' well neither is just about everyone else they debate about.
  12. Imagine what Morecambe could have done to them though
