Hearts and Thistle definitely down after their appeal was thrown out

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53526063

quote:

Hearts and Partick Thistle are "disappointed and surprised" that their relegations have been upheld, leaving them in the Scottish Championship and League One respectively this season.

The clubs took legal action after being demoted when last term ended early.

They wanted the Court of Session to reverse the promotions of Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers and keep them up instead.

But a three-strong panel ruled that the SPFL were entitled to act as they did.

Hearts and Thistle also wanted up to �10m in compensation, but could now face paying costs, with arbitration continuing for "submissions about expenses".

Lots of quotes for posterity from this thread.

This was weirdly prophetic:

duckmaster posted:

Are you interested in following Scottish football? Be prepared for the following symptoms, or as I like to call them:

The Seven Stages Of The Grief Of Following Scottish Football

1) Shock and Denial
Your first day of being a Scottish football fan, and you've watched your first game! Whether you shelled out an almost offensive amount of money to watch what is essentially 22 semi-professional athletes assault each other whilst an off-duty postman runs around blowing his whistle or took the cheaper option of hoping Oxford Utd weren't playing Fleetwood so BT Sport would actually show a Scottish game, you'll be in shock at what you're watching. Followed closely by denial.. surely, surely it's usually better than this?

2) Pain and Guilt
You've already shelled out half a weeks wages on your chosen clubs shirt, proudly emblazoned with your favourite strikers name. There's no going back now, even as he signs a pre-contract with Accrington Stanley and you read, with a tear in your eye, the twitter comments saying he'll be a 'useful squad player' for them. The guilt you'll feel looking into your sons eyes as you tell him the first football match you'll ever take him to will be Livingstone vs Ross County on a Tuesday night will stay with you forever.

3) Anger and Bargaining
No, gently caress it, this one really IS our year. You repeat these words to yourself and anyone who will listen over and over again, pouring over last years stats. If only the midfielders could go from chipping in 5 goals a season between themselves to suddenly being world class superstars and do 20. And they can. And they will. Ok, maybe not. But they might! They won't. Also, we need a 25+ goal striker. For free.

4) Depression, Reflection, Loneliness
Getting into the season now and the depression kicks in. Your chosen team will beat your closest rivals, then get knocked out by a glorified pub team, then a new signing will break the clubs record transfer fee! Unfortunately for going in the other direction, a 200k development fee for your most promising player in a generation. The Chief Executive, for reasons completely beyond the comprehension of mere mortals like us, will call this 'a coup'.
You should just find time to reflect on when you used to wear a Spurs shirt to the gym and called Atletico Madrid your 'second team'. Now you don't go to the gym.

5) The Upward Turn
Let me know if any of you have experienced this.

6) Reconstruction & Working Through
Finally you realise that this is it. It has got better, but not for the reasons you think it has. Yes, the standard is still pretty poor, but this league has personality. It has character. It has executives who are either wildly corrupt or horribly incompetent, and the really terrifying bit is that they might be competent at being corrupt. It has players playing in the top league of it's country that you can still actually run into in bars and nightclubs - literally everyone either has their own story or knows someone with one of when they had a random drink with a household name Scottish footballer. I once asked a then-Scottish international in a strip club if his physio had recommended he go there to get over his recent injury problems. He told me to gently caress off.
And if that's not Scottish football, I don't know what is.

7) Acceptance & Hope
Maybe your club will get into Europe! Proper Europe, like the group stages. And a proper Scottish club, not Zombies Ltd or Hard Border FC. And even if they don't, there'll be a whole rollercoaster along the way, on pitch and off pitch. Will Sevco ever be able to decide who gets to sell their shirts? Will we ever find out the rules for the permanent-Movember game Craig Levein and Derek McInnes are playing? Who will sell their ground to Tesco next? Will anyone come up with a more ridiculous mascot than Kingsley? Will Neil Lennon ever open his post?

Didn't quite call this right though:

Heart of Midlothian F.C.

Who would have ever thought a transfer policy of, "Just sign players who seem like total arseholes?" could be so wildly successful?

Yep, normality resumed:

Her Dryer posted:

Aberdeen got beat by St Mirren lmao. That�s all teams outside the Old Firm dropping points already. Meanwhile Celtic and Rangers have scored 12 and 8 goals respectively in the first two games. Feels like this will be the first League campaign in ages where normally is resumed and the traditional two are going to be miles ahead of the rest.

Wait till you see NEXT season:

Big Nic has said thats the yellow card. SPFL expected to call off the following:

St Mirren v Celtic - Wednesday, 12 August at 18:00
Aberdeen v Hamilton - Wednesday, 12 August at 19:45
Celtic v Aberdeen - Saturday, 15 August at 15:00

The precedent has been set that they'll be postponements but it's the SPFL so gently caress knows.

Praise the eternal SPFL thread

Apparently there might be a chance of seeing a game in person this year

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/53849641

quote:

Sports stadiums in Scotland could reopen to fans on 14 September, with restricted numbers in attendance.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the indicative date in parliament, along with plans for theatres and live music venues.

She stressed that it would be for a "limited number of spectators and with strict physical distancing in place".

Sturgeon also spoke of the possibility of test events taking place before any reopening.

Idiots guide to being a referee, by Kevin Clancy;

Blowing your whistle and running about is hard, so why not hold your arms up to indicate advantage instead? This saves you getting your notebook out.
If the same player has made you play advantage more than once, hold up your fingers to a random number between 1-4 and say �calm down�.
If you do book a player, they can�t get booked again for the rest of the game.
A flesh wound above the knee isn�t evidence, just ignore it.

In all seriousness it�s good that we�ve removed our over reliance on Morelos and have a midfield able to bring in goals. Would still like to see him getting further forward when he returns, playing more of a team role has blunted him somewhat.

That celebrating breaking the clean sheets record is getting flak is inevitable but the defence is looking amazing at the minute, though I wasn�t happy at Borna getting beaten and booked off poor positioning.
