EdinburghLivi Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You keep laughing it might dull the pain that is to follow. Considering I know what steps the club are taking are to reduce the wage bill, I'm not worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Considering I know what steps the club are taking are to reduce the wage bill, I'm not worried. So either Livi are going part-time, or you're bullshitting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND180Y Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Considering I know what steps the club are taking are to reduce the wage bill, I'm not worried. Every journey begins with one small step eh? So are outgoings at 99p in the £1 as promised and if not when will they be and how much will have been lost by then? Who is underwriting the losses and is this by donations or more directors loans? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleubrazil Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Can't see there being any points deduction or fine. Agreed. Livi have been severely punished already and are now in safe hands. The rest of us should get over it and get on with supporting our own clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Agreed.Livi have been severely punished already and are now in safe hands. The rest of us should get over it and get on with supporting our own clubs. I can agree they have been punished to an extent but still annoyed that they have buggered up our league by dropping from nowhere with a full time squad and no punishment relative to us div3 types,not saying this is right but still cant help feeling aggreived if no deduction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Livi have been severely punished already ..for administration. This is about scratching a fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 ..for administration. This is about scratching a fixture. Administration, the appeal against the severity of the punishment and postponement of the fixture were all related. Valid reason was given in plenty time for all parties to know what was happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Valid reason was given in plenty time for all parties to know what was happening. Not in the rules by which Livingston are bound. Hence the meeting to determine punishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not in the rules by which Livingston are bound. Hence the meeting to determine punishment. And saying it was given in plenty time is a laugh as well. What was it, now...22 hours before kick off, I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 "ah'm not wantin' ae play this gem coz eh ah relegashun" is not a valid excuse for missing a fixture. Did the entire squad go down with bubonic plauge? no Was the pitch unplayable? no You can't just pick and choose which games you're going to turn up for. They should be hit with a points deduction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Agreed.Livi have been severely punished already and are now in safe hands. firstly, these white knights have not come to Livi for nothing. Secondly, we've heard that phrase often before. The rest of us should get over it and get on with supporting our own clubs. Normally I'd agree, but in this case letting a club scratch a tie without punishment IMO sets a worrying precedent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid reason was given in plenty time for all parties to know what was happening. They scratched a fixture issued by the Secretary on behalf of the SFL MC. Regardless of the legitimacy of that tie or otherwise, it is an offence. SFL MC are perfectly justified to investigate it and if necessary, hand out sanctions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Normally I'd agree, but in this case letting a club scratch a tie without punishment IMO sets a worrying precedent. But the SFL were all in favour of the decision to not play until the Friday morning! Would it have set a 'precedent' if the appeal had been submitted at 8:59 on the Friday morning? The decision would have been completely the same anyway but with the SFL's acceptance. Unless you are seriously suggesting we tried to rile up the SFL by leaving it so late (as opposed to having discussion about it (which we should have been allowed)), that is a ludicrous view to take. We should have been allowed the 10 days to submit an appeal which wouldn't be prejudiced but only got 3/4.
