So basically they can argue over the semantics of it, but how Hearts and Thistle can argue over the basic principle of calling the leagues I don’t know. I can’t think of any precedent elsewhere they can use against it. And that now includes France as we’ve seen recently.
    exactly but would be like scotland to **** it up eh!

    My understanding of arbitration, which might be wrong, is to find some middle ground to suit both parties.
    In this case compensation to Hearts and Partick who remain relegated.
    The QC’s do not represent either of the parties but are there to make a decision based on the facts.
    They are all on the SFA list so we can hope they will favour the SPFL but not guaranteed.
    Worst case is that they agree with Hearts and we stay in the Championship.
    And there is no appeal.

    We could still vote to kick the ****s out surely?

    Celtic stripped of their 9 in a row title and not allowed to play in Champions League as not technically champions.???? Can't see that happening but should if Utd, Raith and Cove are not promoted.

    As apt as it may be, haven't seen Tranmere Rovers kicking up any fuss about their relegation and they'd have more of a gripe than Hearts...

    Yeah this part of Hearts case really gets my goat. How can it be ok for them to say "oh we don't want to stop titles being awarded or European places to be affected but we don't think any **** else should be rewarded for winning their respective leagues" not surprising they didn't want to engage in warfare against the uglies now is it, bitch knows full well that's a losing battle, better to take on some Diddy teams in court instead. Despicable and I will entirely give up on Scottish football if the SFA sanction this. Fwiw I just can't see them doing that.

    When you look at Kickback they’ve got their knickers right in a twist about us. We’re firmly on what appears to a fairly extensive boycott list. What’s their problem with United? How is it our fault that we won a lot more than we lost (in stark contrast to their own team’s pathetic efforts) and as a result finished top? How is it our fault Covid19 came about? How is it our fault that the SPFL recommended calling the leagues because they’re financially rubber ducked? How is it our fault that that vote was passed and it just happened to be us that then got promoted? Surely if there’s a gripe it’s the SPFL, why are we dragged into it literally through no fault of our own?

    knuckle draggers. I hate how Budge has dragged us into this. What are they saying that we should just say ah on you go we will stay down then - ffs really? thick cvnts. Issue is we could have played remaining games we would have gone up (100%) hearts probably down (75% certain) thistle would probably have stayed up though, dunno about stranraer. It isnt right to reconstruct league BUT 1) clubs shouldnt have voted for that (but hey hearts voted for the system so the can suck their own cocks) 2) we should have waited (but clubs needed cash) and 3) SPFL have made a right mess of everything (and not just this).

    Boycott - jesus wept

    Yep absolutely ridiculous to imagine that we have done anything wrong here at all. Disgraceful that we have to pal legal fees to defend ourselves after doing nothing wrong too. Perhaps we should have just told Budge that they can have our place in the top league cos they clearly deserve it more. **** Hearts and **** Hearts fans too!!
