I was arguing the other day that our league should really be the Seaside League now. Only half of the league one clubs have any kind of nautical links whereas if we can say Rosyth is really just the arse end of Dunfermline then all the teams have a port in their town. Whether Hearts do or not is probably a matter for the good people of Leith or Portobello to decide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather we still punted them down to a league below for being shite and elected Oban Saints to the Championship instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are within their 3 months but played their part every step of the way. Ah, but the vote which enabled such a decision was taken on 10 April (Good Friday). Should Hearts want a Judicial Review it would be based on the date the vote was taken, not the result of it being enacted...especially since from what I’ve seen a large weight of their argument rests on the “Dundee vote” issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Szamo's_Ammo Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 It's time for the Premiership to pull the drawbridge up for a season in these unprecedented times. Surely a team getting promoted after a 27 game season is unfair on the top flight clubs who have battled for 38 matches. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the clubs had the opportunity to vote for restructuring and resoundingly voted against. I don't see how they have anything going for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 12 minutes ago, RossBFaeDundee said: Is it equitable to do so though? Considering all the steps to have caused delays up to this moment were almost unanimously were put in place by Hearts, when they could've at least asked for an appeal at the same time. Theyd also have to argue the decision to end the season, and relegate sides based on PPG, was an "unreasonable decision", which is a wild claim considering multiple votes over a vast time frame by many clubs have decided it's the best course of action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
