Hamilton Accies have been hit by FIFA with a transfer embargo and have accumulated 31 points deduction for a SINGLE infringement identical to some of the MULTIPLE infringements Citeh have been accused of.

Lets see how that ruling translates across the border, shall we?

Citeh have 115 charges which should work out at a 3,565 point deduction by that reckoning, I’d give them a 40 point deduction for the next 89 seasons.

I wonder if it could have something to do with the fact that HA don’t have access to the millions/billions of Dirhams resource, and therefore the ability to buy in the world’s best legal representation, that Abu Dhabi Citeh have :duno: …….not a very level playing field, is it :roll:

I see what you did there. You multiplied the number of fingers and toes you have by 115. Good thinking.

If FIFA can intervene in a Scottish league decision what's to stop them doing so in the English Premier League?

I think as stated above - fear of nation-led legal representation

Could well become the club’s mission statement.

And just to prove that Scottish football is totally fair - Celtic are fined £7500 for the pitch invasion against Hearts.
That’s not a misprint - seven thousand five hundred pounds. Remember, the Hearts players fled from the pitch after one of their players was threatened with violence and the team jumped on the coach without getting changed.
And £2500 suspended fine for a similar infraction against Motherwell.

Words fail me.

Don't get the Rangers obsession with Gerrard

Be sad for Hearts to lose both their manager and Captain to the Rangers.

Bit of a correction on my part. FIFA have imposed a signing players ban for fraud allegations. SPFL have imposed the cumulative points deduction for pitch invasions.

That’s what happens when you only read headlines without digging into the small print.
