Shotgun Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Some of the posters on JKB are making the excellent point that if the EPL were able to play to a conclusion, why couldn't we do the same in Scotland? Has anyone considered this, and are there any differences between the 2 leagues? If that isn't proof of Doncaster's corruption then I don't know... Aw f**k, I can't even type it.

Fife Saint Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have to admit, I thought there would be some kind of sweetener but the medicine is bitter and cold. Wow.This is up there with Rangers liquidation on the banter scales. Truly historic. Budge has misjudged this at every turn and even managed to rope in some others, notably English, at the same time. Stunning turn of events. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not listed as a punishment in the SFA rulebook - just fine and/or expulsion. If you look up that Rangers/embargo case, the SFA's had their knuckles rapped and the embargo overturned because the punishment wasn't explicitly listed in the rulebook. They're not going to do the exact same thing again, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Lol, if the Championship gets suspended before it even starts the Smelly Farts won't even make a playoff spot. Edited July 27, 2020 by Arch Stanton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 26 minutes ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Sore yin for the legal experts at Kickback. The fact that this whole thing ends up with the panel saying Neil Doncaster is completely vindicated is just the cherry on top. Obviously Rangers fans are losing the rag over this. Conspiracy as Peter Lawwell relegates the Diets while promoting Dundee HIBERNIAN. That's the highlight for me too, Doncaster has run rings around them. Utter humiliation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 3 minutes ago, Diamonds are Forever said: Intrigued to see the reaction of Tom English to this. He backed the wrong horse from the start, continued to double down at every turn and completely trashed his credibility in Scotland. The findings today make a mockery of his stance the entire way through. He surely doesn't have anywhere to go now other than admit he was wrong. Oh, I think you mistake the level of hubris Mr English has here. None of his reporting will be considered anything other than entirely fair, and he'll just switch tack to do a deep dive into "how did we get to this point", shaking off any hint that he backed one side or the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that reconstruction was the only way out of this and it's shameful that the SPFL didn't make it happen, whatever that means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 8 minutes ago, Dons_1988 said: 'our own man' basically sums up how much they understand of the whole process. It really is laughable. The dafties clearly thought their 'pick' would just vote for them, rather than use his or her legal skills, experience and judgement to make a considered call. Incredible and hilarious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning turn of events. Surly Hearts fans now must look at Budge and work out what she is doing or in many cases does not know what she is doing The stand and the family member The managers, who all appeared hopeless This case Payment of players on large wages but very small bonus , hence the last 18 months of poor performance . There is one person responsible for all this, Does she take a wage from Hearts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
