My guess is that this is linked to the SPFL statement due today, about sanctions for breaking the rules re Covid. SPFL will want to know that lower league teams like Hearts can comply with the new rules before starting or in their case resuming training. SPFL already have inspected all the Premier league grounds and training facilities.

Given what happened in the past - all the emotion and hyperbole yet zero success - something like this really does press the nuclear bottom for many of them.
They are missing what looks like about 6 days of training, taking account of likely days off. They are 7-8 weeks away from the start of the lower leagues and 10 weeks away from the Scottish cup game.
If this was Hibs, we would be angry but we would be working with SPFL/SFA to get some dispensation. Instead Budge appeals to the crazies with constantly being incensed 🙄🤡
I dont get the big deal. But i suppose they need something to roar and greet about now they've been laughed out the league, court and arbitration.
And while Hearts fans were originally loving the fact that the top league was at risk of a red card, one or two of them pointed out that the ripple effect is staying in the championship until 2022 (minimum).....Quote:

Maybe the answer here is to create a bubble, whereby the current Premiership teams can only mix with each other.Quote:

I hate to take Hearts side in this but it's a stupid decision.
They must have been given permission to start training, with whatever precautions are required, and they haven't breached any guidelines that we know off.
Nothing has changed as far as Hearts are concerned and it just seems like another over-reaction on the part of the SG (or apparently the SFA, until somebody else corrects me again ;-) )
Heard from our family yam yesterday, he doesn't meet the "incensed" standard but did say he's officially fed up of the "whole thing" and wasn't too complimentary about their recent signings.Quote:

They'll need to find ways to move fans like him from thinking about reality to just focusing on being incensed, otherwise they might start questioning what they've got for all that money to date.

On Twitter Stow AFC are raging because all of their training plans have now been thrown in to disarray.
Stow AFC!
Maybe Hearts should take joint action with them against the SFA.
Jeez, poor Brux, the evolutionary scale in reverse, went to bed a Duncan and woke up as a chimp.Quote:

Made clear on sportsound last night that this is not a SG decision. Scottish football was asked by the SG to provide a structure and evidence they can continue to compete safely and the measures announced were the SFA/SPFL response. All of these measures are football decisions.Quote:

The part that is conveniently missed (unless I misheard) is the follow up comment from Jason Leitch when he said he’s the one who has to look the FM in the eye and say Scottish football is safe. And this decision does help that.
Could be but, as posted below, it does strengthen Jason Lietch’s hand when arguing for the safe continuation of top flight football. I think the authorities have been put in a very difficult position be players’ stupidity and had to be seen to be being firm in their response. They have suspended return to training for football below the top flight in order to conduct an inspection of every facility and satisfy themselves that lowers league clubs can meet the standards required. If they can do that in ten days that’s some going but that much does make sense on safety groundsQuote:

In my opinion there is no way that Stow would have any alliance with that club. Always been a well run ethical club who prefer to play there football on the grass.Quote:

The whole point here is that whether Hearts like it or not, the goalposts have been moved. The lower leagues were granted a dispensation to return to training based on a risk assessment that has been proven to be inadequate. The JRG is in the process of updating protocols and it's actually impossible to know if the lower league clubs can meet the new standards. That includes Hearts.
Since March, Hearts have failed to recognise that the authorities (government and football) have more pressing priorities than the immediate needs of Edinburgh's bigliest club and that they have a responsibility to society to ensure that football operations don't have an impact on public health.
It’s quite funny though, eh?:greengrin:greengrinQuote:

I'm sure once they have had a chance to reflect overnight they will no longer be enraged.
Of course, if they had beaten St Mirren then they would not be a lower league club like Alloa and Arbroath. This problem would not exist.
Hull are currently training at the Oriam. Thats brilliant. :greengrin Hibs should book it out for the day.
This is excellent! tweeted by Hearts official twitter page
