That's correct. The TV game was already scheduled so they didn't want to lose the money coming into the game from the broadcasters and nor did they want a 'big' club to go out of the competition so early. A decision was therefore taken to make it look as though a sanction had been imposed, despite they fact nobody could cite a precedent or explain the justification for a two-point deduction.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Jim McInally summed it up well:

The fact the yams went on to benefit from a big Murrayfield crowd in their semi-final gubbing by Celtic sticks in the craw.

Neither situation effects us in any way whatsoever. If it was a decision that had a negative effect on us, then I’m sure we would have something to say.
Let’s be honest, if it was St Johnstone or Livingston that got away fairly Scot free in the league cup, then this thread probably wouldn’t exist.
I can’t say I give much of a toss about either situation.Last edited by TheHarpy76; 17-04-2019 at 04:57 AM.

I know someone involved in that league, it wasn't deliberate but rather than being that Clyde forgot to send something, it was more along the lines of they just assumed it would be OK as he was in their books and didn't take the time to look in to the rules regarding short term loans and player registration before hand. Bit rough but ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.
Agree the Hearts should have been similarly punished earlier in the season but that doesn't mean you shouldn't apply the rules correctly to Clyde. Hopefully (though unlikely) it sets a precident for the rules being correctly applied going forward.Last edited by ian cruise; 17-04-2019 at 07:57 AM.

What about the rest of my post though. No one would give a **** if it was St Johnstone or Livi.

Playing ANY ineligible player should automatically result in a 3-0 defeat and the loss of 3 points, no matter how small or large the team is conceived to be.
Sporting integrity should be there for all teams.

I care most if it is our rivals for league position and in cups. Hearts will have benefitted to the tune of a few hundred grand from that decision, money that will allow them to hold an advantage over Hibs.
It would bother me similarly if it was Killie or Aberdeen who had benefitted.

And in other news Celtc won't be punished for there fans singing sectarian songs because they issued a statement to the Celtc fans after the game saying they were bad songs and not to sing them, SFA happy with that and no further action will be taken against them.
