HK Hibee Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 5 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: I think this is genuinely the essence of our current situation. Ann Budge doesn't really 'get' relegation. This was brought home to me early on when she spoke of an injustice, in that Dundee United were getting rewarded having invested heavily in their team, whereas Hearts were not. She spoke as if the actual results of football matches were merely incidental. Obviously, had the season run for 38 games and finished with Hearts bottom, she'd not be pursuing legal challenges and the like - she's not stupid. However, I think she'd almost feel as she does now anyway. I think that to her, the fact that your income can suddenly be vastly reduced on account of having to play in a different division, is intrinsically unfair. It's that belief that is inspiring the fight. It's the pandemic that's allowing it. It’s called entitlement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am likely wrong, but the arbitration panel wouldn't need to be announcing anything I'm sure I read somewhere on here. If true, then it would be up to the clubs to do the announcing and that successful business person daftie would be crowing and gloating about it within seconds if they'd had a positive outcome. Nae news likely means she has, for about the 32nd time running, failed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 FWIW, compensation at a fraction of what is being claimed, to Hearts & Thistle is an entirely fair outcome to all of this and would hopefully allow people to move on. £1 it is then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can take it as read that there is no embargo on the decision being made public, after all why should there be - it's not like the SPFL are traded on the stock exchange - then I can't see that sort of info being kept under wraps by any club and certainly not for a whole weekend. If there has been no announcement then, imo, no decision has been reached. 21 minutes ago, Mr Positive, sometimes. said: Will depend on if the Arbitration evidence/hearings have even finished.

I believe the deliberation time began when the witnesses and closing legal arguments had been made, which going by my reckoning had been done by late Wednesday, early Thursday.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 If you're going to pedant at us, then it's acronyms, not anagrams. Anagrams are where you make a new phrase out of existing letters, like "bang nude" from "Ann Budge".The thought of Ann Budge and bang nude has put me off tea!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Just listened to today's Radio Scotland Fitba Podcast - two topics were discussed and the outcome - they weren't sure whether Saints would be eligible to play against Livi next weekend and they had no idea about which way the arbitration panel might jump but suggested that Dundee's missing vote might be significant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The complete lack of any non-guessable information in that article makes me think it's a just in case placeholder too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say, just get it done for fucks sake. As entertaining as it has been it's wearing real thin now and I am eagerly awaiting a glass of Jambo tears to go with my tea later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets me honest the likes of Neil Mccann are guessing as much as we would be about the significance of any evidence. I mean it could well be extremely significant but its not like they have a clue! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
