Wing left United in 67 and went back to Sweden at the end of that season.

But they still don't quite understand the whole arbitration situation

Walter Smith, I think he got involved with the "wrong crowd". Shame.

The one that seems to hold most water is the one that relates to a Scottish Cup tie in 62/63. The pitch was frozen so a tar burner was used to melt the ice, cue one screwed pitch. It was then covered in sand and as we wore white, a newspaper report described us as like Arabs across the sand.

That tournament is the reason Dundee United wear tangerine. We wore mainly white with black strips. Wore tangerine strips (socks,tops and shorts) with blue numbers while playing as Dallas Tornados. Jerry Kerr's wife liked the colour and suggested it for the home strip and changed to it in '69. The rest as they say is history.

I thought the only sanctions possible were a fine set at a maximum depending on division or expulsion / ban from the Scottish cup ? That's correct. Points deductions are NOT on the cards as this is an SFA charge, and the leagues are.run by SPFL. Copy from the SFA Judicial Panel protocol

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. With minimal lyrical change we have Ann "Stevie Nicks" Budge singing to Neil Doncaster..… "Stop Dragging My Hearts Down" Baby, you'll come knocking on my front door Same old line you used to use before That's the game, well what am I supposed to do? I didn't know what I was getting into So you've had COVID trouble in town Now you're sending some shite down Stop draggin' my... Stop draggin' my... Stop draggin' my Hearts down It's hard to think about what you've wanted It's hard to think about votes we've lost This doesn't have to be the big get even This doesn't have to be anything at all I know you really want to tell me goodbye I know it's really all about self-interest I'm going to court, your rules I will defy The Hearts fans, salty tears they will cry Stop draggin' my...

That's OK, I've burst out laughing at Ewan Murray many times.

A stupid split after only 26 games pretty much ruling January transfer window out for trying for Europe. Too many meaningless games for those in 7/8 place, a lot of the bottom 8 £350000 worse off and potential of 3 teams being relegated when it reverted back to 12-10-10-10. Which was the basics of the main complaints

SFA don't really have anything to do with arbitration it as per their rules but they aren't involved per se. I would have thought, Heart's and Thistle's legal team would have been dealing with the preparation.

Here's a Green Day song for them

Blah blah blah! Utterly irrelevant, you cannot say Hearts were the last non OF team to run the OF close. It is utter fucking bollocks. Yes hearts lost by goal difference which was close, Aberdeen lost last game of season to OF team that won league. Aberdeen were last non OF team to run OF close, as per your initial claim and the one you have been rounded on over.

Not really, Brora were 13 points clear. No chance Hearts could have been that good!

But due to the fact the Hearts and Celtic weren't playing each other, you can not with all intelligence (??), Say Aberdeen did not push Rangers all the way. They were playing each other winner takes all. They were both close, but to argue that they were not the last team to push the OF is disingenuous at best.

And it was crap. Beyond the headline 14-10-10-10 was a crap proposal.

Yes, if you go by the finished league tables then yes 85/86 was the closest league with Dundee United 3 points back. But you cannot argue that that was the last time a non OF team ran the OF close when Rangers and Aberdeen played each other last day, winner takes all.

Which was what? It certainly wasn't Hearts/Ann Budge's reconstruction attempts. Many clubs have commented on the fact the proposals were crap. We've been through this again and again and again.

Is that not part of the Arbitration Act?

Exactly the same as you have now. This has been explained to you countless times. Football disputes go to arbitration, the club(s) complaining tell SPFL they want to take it to arbitration, the SFA are informed and they organise arbitration as per the Arbitration Act (Scotland) 2010. It is in the rules, go read them. That is EXACTLY the same as now. Only difference is it would already have happened by now, all parties would be better off as they wouldn't have had the cost of CoS, and HMFC and PTFC wouldn't have an SFA charge for breaching SFA rules.

Listening to it at the moment and Tom English has definitely been told to soften his stance. That is the first time I've heard him being that frank about Hearts. Donald Findlay quite rightly showed him up (again). I'm no fan of his, been cross examined by him in High Court due to a previous role at my employer (expert witness) and thought him a pompous arse. But both podcasts he has been on he has come across very well. I do think Tom English though is still flogging a dead horse and I thought he was again similar to some visiting posters to here in saying the.same things but not putting anything of actual substance forward.

Fair play!!

Bottom of the league club could stop top of the league club, who are 13 points clear, from winning league? Interesting. Exactly how would they manage that when they would not have played them again and been in bottom six???

Who is that? Seen that account pop up in arguments recently. Seems to average 145 tweets a day, thought I posted here too often but that's impressive.
