berwick-the-unbeatable Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This was confirmed a while back... this is a scheduled meeting of the SFL MC and therefore the likely place for any decision to be taken. However whether any action is actually taken is another matter...EDIT TO ADD: Wouldn't it be better to just merge this in with the mammoth gargantuan Livi thread? When was 'a while back, may I ask? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 When was 'a while back, may I ask? Couple of weeks ago - it was mentioned after the 'phantom Monday'. Have dig through giant thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shire Voice Of Reason Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Can't see there being any points deduction or fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange though, I know at least one club that weren't aware of it (And it isn't Berwick) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 f**k that.It's strange though, I know at least one club that weren't aware of it (And it isn't Berwick) There is of course a difference between something being known, and officially announced/scheduled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It it was 'confirmed' then, surely you'd expect the clubs to be aware of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It it was 'confirmed' then, surely you'd expect the clubs to be aware of this. Maybe not. Only when they received the agenda for the SFL MC meeting perhaps (and in fact, not all clubs have a rep on the MC... only 2 per division?). I deduced that it would be then, certainly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Can't see there being any points deduction or fine. By rights, there should be. But I suspect the SFL will just sweep it under the carpet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) We lost the return game, I don't really see any need for a points deduction. SFL should reimburse East Stirling for their incompetence. Edited November 6, 2009 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 We lost the return game, I don't really see any need for a points deduction. SFL should reimburse East Sitrling for their incompetence. No, Livi should reimburse East Stirling for scratching a fixture. They should also be deducted enough points to make promotion unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) We lost the return game, I don't really see any need for a points deduction. SFL should reimburse East Stirling for their incompetence. Suggesting the SFL (i.e. all 30 member clubs) compensate ES for Livi having scratched a game, when the SFL had done everything possible (to give Livi time to appeal and put the game off until it got so close to the day as to make it untenable), is ridiculous... I believe they should fine Livi 10 points, but the very least then can do is invoke the requisite rule (to which there is no appeal) - to force Livi to pay ES for actual loss accrued. If Livi believe so much in 'natural justice', they can pay for getting it!! Edited November 6, 2009 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Excellent, best put my best frock in for dry-cleaning. These cheats better get their arses felt, and not in a good way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Livi believe so much in 'natural justice', they can pay for getting it!! The whole situation was a farce. The decision was always going to effect East Stirling financially if we scratched the game because they would have paid for things to be used on the Tuesday/Wednesday before the game. The game should have provisionally postponed immediately in the aftermath of the meeting so East Stirling wouldn't have lost as much money should we have decided to. To blame us for doing what we were originally allowed to do (well within the time allowed for appeal, I might add), is completely unfair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...sea/8319573.stm I see Fifa have suspended the Chelsea signing ban pending their appeal being heard. Seems the status quo is to prevail while the appeal is pending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAS rules say the status quo remains; SFL rules do not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawheadrover Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 And that's got f**k all to do with the Livi (cheating scum) situation.CAS rules say the status quo remains; SFL rules do not. Hamilton was docked several points when that club failed to fulfill a fixture: a precedent, perhaps? This is a very boring topic, but the full-time club seem to be (now) enjoying life in the third division, with all these victories against part-time teams from the 'lower orders'. They will even have to come back to Cliftonhill: how ghastly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
