The players have been told not to say anything too.Quote:

Tweeted banderson again about the wages. Lets see if he responds.

FoH must be absolutely fizzing about this. Not so much an elephant in the room but a toaster in the bath for their plans.:cb
Mikey that's it in a nutshell. Silence to me means nowts been paid. They honestly think that getting past the Sheep game on the 19th and that's it they are home and dry.Quote:

Pints deduction or further transfer embargo on its way me thinks.
There would be playoffs in place by then so they would still have a chance at getting up even in Sevco Utd are in the league.Quote:

No word from Lithuania yet? If a court decision wasn't imminent today I would have expected that reported by now.
Good luck. I twatted him over a hour ago. Silence means not paid cos he'd be the first one to post it.Quote:

You've got to hand it to Barry Pandertothem - his latest feeble attempt at 'being in the know' is to say that the transfer plans of getting Boyd and Goodwillie may have to be 'ripped up' depending on events in Lithuania..............that'll be the plans that were purely in Gary Locke's wee dreamland head then Barry.........
As for the Hearts fans.............they are like alcoholics at a wedding reception, sitting with an orange juice proudly exclaiming they are 'clean', whilst the hipflask with vodka is hidden under the table between their legs.
My goalposts are indeed shifting as I did think it would be poor to see them go down - now I want to see them banished purely for their shameful arrogance. Oh, and that they have the most appalling dress sense and hygiene standards :greengrin
I don't think it's the rules that are the problem, it's working out whether the current situation with HOMFC triggers one of those rules. My guess is that it doesn't for the moment - but that may change over the summer. As a result, I feel relegation will not happen (although there's possibly things worse than that ahead for them). However, SPL will want to be sure as they'll have Dundee (and maybe the Big Huns) all over this like a rash.Quote:

:faf: More analogies please. My fave was possibly on this thread about Hearts being the junkie son begging for money and the father giving him it but that it must be spent on food. As soon as he gets it he heads for the nearest dealer.Quote:

The SPL are wise to be covering their ***** IMO. They need to make sure they're not jumping the gun and dishing out rather sever punishments without properly looking in to it.
Time is not a bad thing here, we need the SPL to be 100% sure in whatever decision it makes, we don't want those gorgie ****bags wriggling out of this in a few weeks because the procedures haven't been followed.

One thing we can agree on though is the groaning when we see "Neil Patey football finance expert...":aok:
Just up, was night shift. As the meeting is on Monday, a day after the end of the season, does this mean that if points are deducted is it implemented for this season or for the start of next season.
Apologies if detailed elsewhere.
SPL can apply the deduction for this season if they wishQuote:

So, do we all want Hearts to win tomorrow so that they will have an extra point deducted next season should the points penalty come then?
heres a link to UBIG's very own website proclaiming that they "actively participates in its management"

Agree with that, although if we got our schect together and were challenging at the top end of the table, we might not need them so much. Compromise - They can keep their stadium, SPL status, debt free - clean as a whistle - but they are not allowed to field a goal keeper from now on. :Awright!:Quote:
