Even the SFA can't bring themselves to punish us. We have actual cases of COVID to footballers in a city that is being locked down due to an outbreak, and the games can still be played in that city within the 14 day isolation period and the affected club can still travel beyond the 5 mile limit everyone else is being restricted to because - wow look everyone - football clubs in Scotland are operating in a "sporting bubble". But since joining this forum I've been told the gov doesn't care about football, and football isn't special. The SPFL said their hands were tied. No bubble was possible. That bubble could very easily have been set up to finish fixtures from say start July and delay the start of the next season until mid Sept as England have done. In fact had they done that, the current spike would have happened during the pre-season for the next season. That Doncaster though. So competent. You’re back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Only an utter fucking idiot could consider being fined a success. I presume they also assume being stood up is a good date, pissing themselves a good way to go to the toilet and falling down stairs a good way to exit a building. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was drawing a comparative example of a disproportionate fine to a minor offence to a nominal fine for that committed by Hearts and PT. Anyway, what are you doing in a thread in a part of the forum which relates to 2 tiers above where your team will commence playing in 10 weeks?

We were told in court we could be "oot the gemme" so yeah, a success considering £2500 is less than 2% of this months FoH take. I hope we pay PT's fine too. hey maybe Budge will get Anderson to throw in another 50 grand for everyone too?

Where have you been hiding since the result of the Arbitration Panel consigned your team to its rightful place in the Championship? All mouth in the weeks leading up to it then the result goes spectacularly against your club and you’re nowhere to be seen. Until tonight, when your club is victorious in receiving a fine which you’ll have to pay out on top of all of the Arbitration expenses, along with Partick Thistle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the absolute extreme maximum possible punishment for the rulebreaking. Nobody with half a brain thought that was seriously going to happen, and certainly not after Lord Clarke glowered at it a bit. If you were seriously expecting anything more than a four-or-low-five-figure fine, that's because you're an utter fucking idiot, as the man says. Hope this helps.

craigkillie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 58 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: I recall St. Mirren being fined over a rule breach in 2006. IIRC the rule changed at the start of the season so that the Scottish Cup required 3 outfield players in the starting 11 who were U21 and the club should have known this. However when they turned up for the away game v Spartans the Ref supplied Gus MacPherson with the team form from the previous season which followed the old rule of 3 U21s in the matchday squad. Again, rather than just fill in that form, they should have gone to the Ref's room and sought clarification however the team was juggled and 2 outfield U21 players started with 2 more on the bench. Spartans manager Mikey Lawson did some digging and then cliped to the SFA, clearly hoping Saints would be expelled. The fine for this "heinous" crime of filling in the form supplied by the SFA? £25k!!!!! It was eventually reduced to £12.5k on appeal but it was a ridiculously excessive fine at the time. No, what they should have done is known the rules of the competition they were playing in and then not breached them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
