Wasn't that the deal or was that the Dutch? As I say, watching Hearts absolutely shit themselves has been the best part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) It would be foolish to say that this precedent in Belgian law means that any challenge in Scotland would definitely deliver all Hearts want but at least the whole "you can't sue the league without going through the court of arbitration for sport, Hearts could be chucked out of football altogether" line of argument can now be safely discarded Edited June 5, 2020 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it makes much of a difference anyway as decisions made in Belgian or French courts will have no bearing on decisions made here. One of the conditions of SPFL membership is that a member club will follow a strict appeals process involving the CAS as the ultimate authority for an appeal. Failure to do so is a breach of membership conditions and quite rightly if Hearts chose to try take legal action through the domestic courts the SPFL would be able to expel them for failing to follow the terms of membership. Very much still on table then...unlike the prospect of reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 You missed the option where the court insists St Mirren play their outstanding games with 3 pros, the tea lady and Tony Fitzpatrick shoe-horned into a pair of size 44 shortsWould still pump hearts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on a wee minute, here. Are you suggesting that if the judge reinstates us to the Premier, he'll insist on Levein being reinstated too? Fck that!

We're not talking about whether a player can appeal a yellow card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the situation has allowed for construction of the childish coffin gif's which have amused me greatly. Particularly Gary MacKenzie's attempt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
