Altho I don’t think they should be banned I think they will get a 4 game ban. I’m still not sure what sfa rules they actually broke tho, the out for dinner with max of 3 households was government guidelines not law and nothing to do with the sfa.

Actully I’d give them a one game ban for playing so shit against the rangers and loosing and then going out in public for dinner 

The corrupt arseholes will say it falls under the wishy washy “bringing the game into disrepute” offence.

Probably but it’s like saying that sliding tackle you did was good at the time but we’ve changed the rules since so it’s now a red card and we are going to ban you 

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

I know this is just the hearing for the players and the club will be having a separate charge for breach of the SFA Covid rules but it will be interesting to see how the punishment compares with that of Hearts when taking the SPFL to court.

 

They were fined the paltry sum of £2500 for dragging their dispute through the courts, a flagrant breach of rules done knowingly and still disputing the outcome of the judgment - if that’s not bringing the game into disrepute I don’t know what is.

 

Unfortunately we all know today is less about the extent that our players broke any COVID regulations and all about the football authorities being seen to take action in the eyes of the Scottish Government to demonstrate its house is in order.

 

The Hateful Eight will be fall guys - and we will just suck it up...I do think we should take the Hearts approach though and tell them to fucking poke it.

When do we expect an announcement on this? 

[Geoff_Tipps]

Probably in the next half hour.

If you look on the sfa website and scroll down a good bit you will se a section for suspensions and disciplinary outcomes. I imagine it will show up there first. I last checked it 20 minutes ago but just says about the charges faced by our 8 and Bolingoli

[Dons21]

Sure Rod Petrie will take great pleasure in hammering us. Thinking it will help his beloved spoon burners finish above us this season. 

[CalgaryDon]

Considering both Hearts and Partick sued the league, caused disrepute and the SFA only fined both clubs £2,500 each I think they may be more lenient then we think.

This potential ban could derail our season which I don't think the SFA wants to do.

Would love to think that’s the SFA thought process & hope your right on the leniency. Personally don’t think they will give two hoots about derailing our season as we are not one of the cheeks. 

[sheepcrooky]

It’s more about sooking up to Sturgeon. 

[Lencarl]

Hearings started at 4pm but don’t know when outcome will be announced.

Why the fuck do they not start the hearing in the morning.

The SFA don’t give a toss about Aberdeen.

Vested interests all over the place in the SFA & SPFL.

Of course it’s in their interests to 

1) appear to be coming down hard on us in the eyes of the Government 

2) To fuck over our season.

As I said earlier, we are an easy target & the SFA/SPFL would shite a brick having to sanction either of the Tims or the scum.

But a perfect get out by being able to hammer Bolingoli hard. Even though the boy will never play for Celtic again anyway. It’s a win-win for the SFA.

So they can escape in heavy traffic after the hearing without being noticed, then hide in their caves over the weekend.

Then he should sacked for putting the secret service before his isis job. 

[Tord31]

refreshing all the time. still nothing?

[Zander1903]

If they weren't footballers but guys in a normal job they would have self isolated for 2 weeks then back to work without any other punishment

My boss wouldn't pay me for the 2 weeks but apart from that it would have be done & dusted so all this talk of long bans & fines is shite

[Dons21]

Still nothing on this. Turned sportsound on to hear any news. All I got was that greasy cunt Robbie Neilson spouting shite about his hearts team being top 6 in the Premiership quality wise. 
i will crack the jokes. Away and have a wash you fanny!!

In typicalily bureaucratic SPFL fashion, apparently all 8 cases have to be heard & dealt with individually even though all 8 cases are identical. 

[CalgaryDon]

Fantastic news.

That’s why Scottish football is in the state it is run by a bunch of central belt Plonkers with aprons round their waist and one trouser leg rolled up singing how olds yer grannie.    

[pocrawred]

7pm is the time we should expect the outcome of this west coast piece of shite kangaroo court.

Not identical.

The one that booked it gets an extra game ban. The oldest one also gets an extra game ban as he should have known better.

[Ernie McCracken]

Outcome for each player: Suspension of 3 matches. These 3 matches are suspended until 28 February 2021 and will take effect only in the event that the player is found in breach of Disciplinary Rules 24 and/or 71 during that time period.

[Dons79]

3 match suspended sentence till February on the promise not to break the rules within this time.all players are eligible for Hibs 

[minijc]

disgrace, should've all been given 6 match bans.

[Shinniesta]

That's as good a result as we could have expected. Pleasantly surprised I thought they'd get made an example of.
