When can Hearts start again?

Jon Obika had added "Relegator of Hearts" to his LinkedIn profile and if he's forced to remove that he's going to take legal action and delay the start to the season and threaten to take other clubs down with him. Nah, just kidding, he's not a petulant c**t.

I'm pretty sure it's a bluff and that the threat if the hassle and expense involved from the SPFL's point of view is the so-called incentive. Sadly, despite what Hearts believe, the SPFL can't control the vote.

Hearts complaining about the lower league clubs, forgetting they are one.

Yeah, the only tears and snotters were from Milne. The twat.

Safe from relegation. You?

Fixed.

IlliteratePrinceCharlie is back on the prowl. Hearts have some really weird fans. Edit: @TonyFerrino beat me to it with oddly similar wording

I for one am stunned that you've managed to find a sports litigation solicitor that thinks it's worth attempting some sports litigation, especially given they'll get paid in any event. It's like asking a chiropractor if your back needs an alignment, FFS.

No football scores to check so I'm basically going online every ten minutes to see if Hearts are still crying and/or Budge has been put back in her box yet.

Get fucked: you were bottom of the league since Christmas. Legal action is a 100% non-starter. Feel free to bookmark this.

We're all good for the St HibMirrenian cooperative axis of torpedoing this bullshit right to the bottom of the sea where it belongs, right?

How magnanimous of her. In the same spirit, it's also, therefore, not the time to be launching spurious and doomed-to-failure legal action just because your shite fucking team finished last. Honestly, the narrative that Hearts got relegated by Covid couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is that they're hoping Covid will bail them out. It drips from every word of that plan.

The fucking state of this

I believe that's known as playing the man, not the ball. Is he wrong?

They do, but they don't have expulsion clauses. It's a very important semantic point.

This guy needs his hard drive checking.

You mean they haven't been?

Emotions were running high on Monday. She's realised that reconstruction isn't happening and legal action is futile. She's now in the 'hoping nobody will notice' phase.

It's an odd one. In terms of dodging future relegations, you'd have to say a bigger league would be better for a club like ours. Even if it was a temporary fix and three teams went down in one season, it's no measurably different to having to finish 11th or higher now. The problem is the same things that it always comes down to: the problematic fixture arrangements, the further spread of resources, and the fact it simply doesn't need doing. The idea of expanding the league just to save Hearts is mad as a box of twats and nothing will convince me otherwise.

This. By virtue of the ridiculous international calendar last season, and us being dugshite in the League Cup, it felt like we were only playing once a fortnight. It was w**k, tbqhwy.

Just want to flag before anyone posts their scores for Saints players, that relegating Hearts is worth three extra points. If this means Obika ends up with 11/10 then so be it.

That escalated quickly.

FFS. Of course it will. Cheers!

They literally can't take legal action against something they themselves voted for. It's absolute nonsense.
