Auld Jag Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I havent heard anything else about Dundees appeal against the -25pts.Is it going ahead and can the SFL increase it if they do appeal and it fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Can the penalty be added to because Dundee FC is carrying out a public campaign against the SFL while simultaneously participating in its appeals process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'd like to think that the SFL told them that the penalty could be increased if they decided to appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 It would be a good idea if the SFL decided to increase the punishment as they do with players' appeals in England where they consider that the appeal itself is 'frivolous or vexatious'....

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) I dislike Dundee FC intensely but we're talking about the SFL here. Whatever Dundee have done, and of course they deserve punishment, doesn't come close to the damage the SFL have inflicted upon Scottish football throughout the years. To allow those numpties to pass arbitrary judgement on any member club is criminal enough. Where did the 25pts come from? Why not 24pts or 26pts, 20pts or 30pts? If the SFA weren't almost as numptyish as the SFL they would revoke the 25pts deduction and hand out their own penalty explaining the rationale behind their decision. Just because we're all happy to see Dundee punished doesn't make it right that those incompetents are allowed to hand out punishment.

I'm not inclined to defend the SFL - though even less to sympathise with Dundee facing relegation - but was this penalty not based on a point for each of the 25 games remaining for the rest of the season? If that's the case and Thistle do go into administration, let's hope it's just before the last game of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think 25 points is roughly what Harkins and Griffiths have provided them with. I'm happy enough with that justification, even if it comes from myself, rather than the SFL, and is probably not the reaosning behind the decision.

They have 10 days to appeal from the receipt/or/date (?) of the fully worded decision letter from the SFL - they are apparently to get the letter sometime this week. I reckon the SFL will be carefully wording their letter - perhaps more carefully than their verbal statement on the day of the decision - through the legal representatives before it goes up to Dens.

Wirral for Thrills Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Well I don't care what anyone say, I think it's a nice idea to have an appeal for Dundee now that they're so down on their luck. If my 10p can help buy their bus fare to the Eastern Region Juniors, then that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Thistle Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 What I thought was pretty ironic is they are skint and need all the money they can get. Yet they can afford to get red cards made up to have a protest about the SFL. No wonder they are up shit creek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought most teams travel up to Dingwall on the day of the game? And on a variation of carefulpuntgeorge's excellent post...

Christ_Puncher Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Why is everyone blaming the S.F.L.? It's the cretins who run Dundee who are to blame for this. I hope they do get hammered with a bigger penalty because their appeal will be VEXATIOUS. And like i said put them on the sex offenders register too for good measure. It will remind them of what naughty boys they have been and not to do it again for the rest of their lifes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I’d be happy to hear that, but should the administrators not be looking to make money wherever possible? Could they not have forced it? I wonder if they will sell players in January after all. I wonder if they have a patsy as an administrator. Still waiting for the 25 point ruling tho… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
