Hearts legal action

[cybershed]

Ano it was still a majority of 81%, the last primeminister elected, ffs Brexit and indyref all decided on far more marginal percentages, no one can argue that the voting system was flawed, but as Findlay said they had 28 days under company law to make the votes, which can only assume means Dundee had the right to withdraw and resubmit their vote.

Lachlan and Donald must have been getting right p!ssed off listening to Tenglish over the last few weeks as they alluded to the fact he was on their almost daily shouting from every rooftop on hundreds of podcasts for Hearts.

Surely there must be a BBC compliance officer somewhere going, hud on Tam, you need to calm that. Bearing in mind he has taken this stance on one of the mainstream media platforms so aggressively whilst a court case is going on and now an arbitration hearing. If his comments have not been prejudicial then I don't know what is.

Great to hear Findlay and Lachlan absolutely tearing Tom English's biased perspective to shreds, and also calling him out for acting as chief acolyte/propagandist for Budgie/Hertz.

I'm furious with the way Tom English has acted throughout this sorry episode. Where is the due impartiality that BBC journo's are supposed to adhere to? I'm going to email a complaint about him to the BBC today. His recent rantings have been maniacal in defence of Budge and Hertz and it is obvious to everyone that he would rather have a very poor Hertz in the top league than an up-and-coming Dundee United.

Hertz issued a vexatious legal action against United, Raith and Cove. They do not deserve any compo whatsoever, and they should be fined or face a points deduction for next season as well as having to reimburse the legal expenses incurred by Utd, Raith and Cove.

I do have some sympathy for Thistle, and think compo in the region of £100k would seem fair. But Hertz should be given short shrift, told to 'shut it' and accept that they are fully derserving of their relegation.

Loved it when English kept going on about the vote and how it came down to one vote (Funsters) and kept exclaiming about how ‘grotesquely unfair’ that was until The Donald picked him up by reminding him that in a Court of Law if a majority verdict is reqd, it could be 8-7 for guilty and therefore regardless if there’s just one vote in it then that’s enough, as a majority is a majority and that that could be enough to send somebody down for 25 years. So therefore English’s argument was irrelevant. Funnily enough, English shut the phuck up after that.

I never thought I’d see the day where I would acknowledge Donald Findlay in a positive manner but here I am!

English was getting on my thrupny bits throughout that podcast, and continually banging on about fairness, yet only “fairness” for Hearts and Thistle, but not for United, Raith or Cove. While the others kept pulling him up for it, and highlighting that surely fairness for achievers should trump fairness for failures, he still continued to deny that the principle of Hearts & Thistle’s case, and any sporting integrity or fairness, directly contrasts their action of trying to prevent promotion for the three clubs. Again, the others stated there was no way that there wouldn’t be losers in this, but it needed to reward success more than failure, but he just would not accept that.

Tom English can't stop his ego and his personal agenda getting in the way of an objective analysis of the facts.

Findlay and Lachlan showed Tom English up for what he is last night: a poor excuse for a journalist. Rather than concede that they were correct, he just kept on digging a bigger and bigger whole for himself. The more he tried to wriggle out of his position as Hertz cheerleader, the worse it got for him and he ended up looking like a complete fool.

I imagine his media colleagues must have had a good laugh at his performance last night. What a walloper!

He did try to ingratiate himself with us, Raith and Cove by saying he was only defending teams he believed were being wronged, and that if it was to go for the twa ugly boots clubs he would then be roaring from the rooftops in support of United/Raith/Cove at the injustice of no promotion. He’s a phukkin fanny and will do himself an injury trying to straddle having a shoe in each camp

To be fair to Donald Finlay, for a total arch Hun, he called out Sevco for what it was/is - no more than a tribute act and that the team he used to support had ceased to exist.

In total contrast Ian Murray, Labour MP and lifelong hearts supporter has thrown his political clout behind his team

Will get some votes in Gorgie and lose far more everywhere else

Tom english has been a dumpling on this. So clear he decided to pin this viewpoint to his mast early on and thought it was a winner. Even he now (you can tell in his voice) knows they have gone too far and the game is a bogey. They should be ordered to pay compo to us to cover costs of a clearly undemocratic and legal breach of SFA laws. Sympathy was for months ago the continual denial and ignoring of what they voted for, 81% of clubs voted for and her own failed reconstruction talks - just because it wasnt what she wanted to hear she was given every chance. The SPFL have bent over backwards to try and find a solution using their own constitution (of which hearts and thistle voted for) which is the democratic wishes of members. Not like it was 50.1% against 49.9%.

what is startling is how some clubs have sat back and laughed at us. Hearts are going for compo and to penalise dundee and spfl for rigging the vote. I mentioned Donald weeks ago - he has been offering advise to utd throughout and will provide financial help from his club. As for the Ayr chairman, very decent hope they get promoted next season.
