Anyone know when they are actually due up before the SFA/SPL for their supporters assault on Neil Lennon as well?

£60K due immediately. Nice one.

I think that is something like seven years in a row they have been fined for their disciplinary record.

BBC are reporting that Hearts are appealing. Not to me they aren't.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

They've got some cheek appealing, they should be told 100k and no appeal in view of they're shocking record in recent years.

[MSK]

I would double their fine ..just because they are Edinburghs tramps ..

SEVEN consecutive seasons of fines. Its a conspiracy.

2 points from me

1) I don't really think it's fair fining clubs for poor discipline over the course of a season (I don't agree with cumulative suspensions for players either) - if a crime is bad enough it should be punished, but lots of 'normal' yellow/reds shouldn't result in a fine. Obviously since it's Hearts I'll make an exception... which leads nicely into the next point...

2) Surely if the SFA are to go down the route of fining clubs at the end of the season Hearts should be more severely censured for meriting a fine 7 years in a row. We know how rich Hearts are given all the interest they are collecting from themselves so these fines should surely be in the millions.

I disagree. We see many yellow cards given for deliberate fouls around the halfway line when teams are on the break. Red cards to stop goalscoring opportunities. And teams are meant to play the game in a "sporting fashion".
Hearts obviously aren't, and obviously aren't even trying to reign it in. Hammer them

A sending off for a professional foul should result in a 3 game ban for the player. Niggly fouls on the halfway line are part of the game, and if they don't merit reds at the time I don't see why they should be added up and punished months later. Hearts can rot, but £3k for a club like Stirling Albion and £2k for Montrose isn't right IMO.

All clubs know that they can be punished further down the line for their conduct, so it isn't a surprise.

[Sir David Gray]

It seems a bit strange that they should be fined when they actually improved their disciplinary record, compared with last year and they only got two more red cards last season than Inverness and they got praised for their players' conduct.

Apart from that, I completely agree with the decision.

[Bostonhibby]

Nae story here, they will pay the fine to themselves, all big clubs do it, we just don't understand.........

It will be more to do with passing a certain threshold for reds, yellows and general fair play. They had 12 more yellows than any other club (us)

It was around £300 for an ST for the PBS next year for those first to book. Must be galling for the first 333 most Gorgie Loyal who bought their's on the first day to now learn that their investment is going straight to the SFA.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

i really hope it doesnt afect their transfer budget

[Siralbertkidd]

Its easy to be top of a table when the two weejie teams have no chance of winning it.

How many times against the ugly sisters do you hear folk say "if our player had done that he would have been booked/sent off"? Deliberate handball in Scottish Cup Final, a game changing moment, is a prime example.

Hate to sympathise with the Hertz but I know which two teams are the dirtiest most cheating barstewards in Scotland, and they wont ever ever get fined or points docked.

Spot on! Couldnae happen to a nicer bunch. Pity it's only £100k.

[Dashing Bob S]

Hearts finances confuse me. As they only ever owe money to themselves, does this mean that a) the don't need to pay the football authorities this hundred grand, b) that they 'are' the football authorities (they've somehow swallowed them up) c) that this £100,000 is a different type of money from the £40m debt they are carrying?

Now dont take this thewrong way lads, but...............if it wasn't them I would feel sorry for the harsh treatment being handed out. Lets look at the facts without the Hibs-tinted glasses, they have cleaned up their act considerably since last season, half as many reds, they only have two more than ICT who were praised, we have more cards than them. I genuinly feel they are being harshly treated this year, Great isn't it

It's a conspiracy and victimisation ah tell ye

LESLIE DEANS today rounded on the SFA for its continual "victimisation" of Hearts and explained his fear that the record £100,000 fine imposed on the Edinburgh club could force owner Vladimir Romanov to consider quitting Scottish football.
