Club covid executives - a statement.

[oaksoft 13,893]

Great news. Very lucky to have got this overturned.

Time to get these two games won.

[Tommy 3,735]

Going to have a few midweek games now so here hoping the players can stay injury free and don't pick up yellow/red cards. 

[Desperately Seeking Susans 1,490]

Good news.

Really, given all the consequences of penalising us (and other teams who were not involved) it surely couldn't be anything else.  The SPFS's reputation has been saved - by their own decision.

And pile more misery on Motherwell and Hamilton in the process by keeping them rock bottom in the table!!

Keeps the gap and also offers great return if we now win these games

It's a crock of shit and the club should fight this in the Courts if need be, how many clubs have broke these protocols,  Players sitting having meals together, Sitting too close on the bus, Car sharing, I'll tell you....  ALL OF THEM....  

SMISA get the cash out,  It would never happen to Celtic or Rangers with a title on the line and everyone knows that, So it shouldn't happen to us.

A skelp on the arse and a suspended large fine for anymore breaches that's what it should have been, 😠

Lucky ? I don't think so.  Some of us told you Oaky

Ay, but...

What about the reputation of the SPFL?

It's still a jobbie organisation.

[Wilbur 2,881]

What a great start to the weekend.😁

Time to celebrate, I'm heading up to the pub for a few pints ...... ah shite !!!☹️

[antrin 5,085]

I just got a PM from elvis.

 

He expects Saints to be beaten 4-0 by Accies and 6-1 by Murrawell!

Saints will be worse off than before the appeal...

Yup, we had no real argument other than whataboutery which wouldn't have done the bizzo were it not for Celtic going to Dubai.

[Tommy 3,735]

I wonder who decided on the punishment, and who was on the appeal panel   

[bazil85 3,348]

The absolute right decision, completely unacceptable that: 

1. Such punishments were ever considered for the level of breaches and situation the world is in

2. The resolution process has taken over three months. 

Hopefully this acts in transit with a few other things going on to finally get the imposter Neil Doncaster out of Scottish football once and for all. Has there ever been a bigger wage thief in the Scottish game comparable to his salary?

Hopefully changes in Scottish football come sooner than later, one of the main ones for me is around CEO accountability. Say a vote by all 42 member clubs every three/ four years on SPFL/ SFA CEO performance. one vote, one equal say and at least a 60% needed for them to get the next period. 

For me that would encourage authorities that act in the interest of the majority not the elite.

Somebody from the SPFL made the crazy decision, but it was overturned by the SFA. 

Wouldn't have thought I would ever say this.............. Well done SFA

The decision to replay these games could work in our favour now that we have signed 2 players who might be able to resolve our goal scoring drought.

In all fairness though, should Brophy and Quaner be permitted to play in the matches against Hamilton and Motherwell, as they were not available for the original fixtures?

Hamilton and Well have signed new players as well as us, so yes.

Same could be said for whoever Well or Accies sign in January.
 

You could end up in a situation where you don’t have a team able to fulfil the fixture if you do a 12 out 12 in scenario that OK performed on Saints. And we don’t want to go through another appeals process do we? 😂 
 

You play with what players are eligible at the time of the game.

I don't believe luck had anything to do with this. I had every faith that the ridiculous decision couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

Didn't Celtic play players signed after the original Bolinboli game against us when it was eventually played?

Can we issue a Freedom of Information request on the original decision and subsequent appeal?

Original decision is on SPFL website in full already (3rd December) would be surprised if appeal details aren't also published.

Aye so it was Baz. I forgot. Sorry. Just be keen to know the case for the defence.

[munoz 8,761]

Outstanding result and the correct one. 

Hopefully gives everyone at the club a boost for the rest of the season.

But the SPFL CANNOT say the postponement of games was categorically due to infringements of covid rules. the fine could stand as the rules were broken but the losses must be appealed. I believe the SPFL board have overstepped the mark here and the two clubs should get together and fight this ridiculous punishment.

Apparently someone from SPFL going to be giving a BBC radio interview shortly mate, might at least shine some light. The defence likely was shooty in though.
