Clyde01 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Just catching up on p and b after a busy week. Quite funny this social media saga, the more Dom speaks, you just know the club have made the right decision. Questioning why John hasn’t spent more time appealing a decision to the SPFL sums up this joker. Why would the club want to broadcast the current stage of proceedings. Thought that was a fair point, there is absolutely no precedent for awarding 3-0 wins to the opposition over an issue like this. Hearts were awarded 2 points out of 3 in the league cup for similar.Anyway Clyde have now appealed the decision so let’s see what happens. But struggling to understand the disinterest of some at Berwick over such a controversial and potentially crucial decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Clyde. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no idea what would happen if we won the appeal (highly unlikely). Reverse the points? Replay the matches? No fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that "Dom" comes out of this story as well as he thinks he does. Edited March 16, 2019 by craigkillie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah playing all sides - one minute a volunteer who did hours of free work with no thanks, the next the club's Social Media manager and the one in touch with the youth as all the old farts don't understand social media - bit of a patronising c**t if you ask me. Having said that - the whole thing sums up how football clubs want to control everything, why shouldn't we know what is said between the dugouts. Everything is kept in house at all levels of the game with fans the last to know. I'd suggest everyone behind every dug out in the country should now tweet everything that they overhear. As for the comment about inconsistency following previous decisions on ineligible players maybe someone in the 'sports communication industry' should understand that rules change - a decision made years ago doesn't necessarily apply now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza81 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 “He told us: "John said that I was asked to remove the tweet at 4:45pm, but that's misleading. If you look back at the game updates, the match ended at 4:52pm. So unless the players were on Twitter whilst playing and he was running up the wing beside them, how could that be true” Jesus.

A replay raises the possibility that QP could lose the point they won fair and square as well as the two they were awarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
