One rule for Hearts.....

Still absolutely mental that Hearts played an ineligible player, won the game and got awarded 3 points, then got 2 points deducted.
As Clyde’s statement says, they were effectively awarded a point for playing an ineligible player. Incredible decision that was done purely so they could still qualify with a win in their televised game against ICT a few days later.
Scottish fitbaw eh

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.

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.

Hibs must be happy with the way the rules are applied favourably towards certain teams or they would say so. It’s a mystery to me why we don’t seem to mind?

Why would we bother?

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.

Precedent set for the “big clubs” job done, nothing to see move on...

No sympathy for Clyde. Horrible club

How does their progression in the cup, with all the financial benefits that entail have no effect on us?

What happened to Rods sporting integrity mantra there?

You just cant make the rules up as you go along, sorry thats a lie, you can in Scotland.

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.

It's a conspiracy.

Or it might be a witch hunt

Ok, I’ll give you that.

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

I do and so should everyone else, how can you break the rules and have no idea what punishment you will receive?

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.

Yet we were clearly told the new spfl rules would be very clear as would punishments. Utter shambles this has been allowed to happen. Hearts benefitted hugely by getting a split of 50k crowd at Murrayfield. Very surprised how little Inverness made of it at the time.

I'd care if it was St Johnstone or Livi.

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.

Why?

1958 Cup Final:

Clyde 1: Hibernian 0

[silverhibee]

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.

He made the statement on behalf of Hibs and Scottish football, yet nothing since when these things happen?

We may have to disagree - imo he made the statement on behalf of Hibs only - and it was in response to other clubs concern that we may lose Oldco out of the top division - While I agree with you that Hearts appear to have gained an advantage here, dealing with this is hardly RP job????

I disagree, if everyone just says nothing then nothing will ever change, people have to speak out against this, and Petrie has previous, and if not him then Dempster.

We cant have rules applied that are just made up as they go along.
