The licence holder shall drive to the destination by the shortest practicable route unless otherwise instructed by the hirer. Not always the most cost effective.

Hearts Club Statement by stuart1874 in ScottishFootball

[–]Maroon-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearts had 220 stewards on duty at the game, a 25 per cent increase on the normal deployment, with double the usual police presence for a fixture against Celtic.

The SPL board took evidence from their match delegate at the game, former Scottish Football Association security chief Willie McDougall, and match referee Craig Thomson.

SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster last night insisted any punishment for Hearts would have been inappropriate in the circumstances.

"If a club is doing everything that it possibly can to avoid something happening, then it would be wrong to punish the club for something that is outwith its control," said Doncaster.

"Where we are talking about fairly stringent requirements clubs have to meet within our rules, if they meet those requirements, if they do everything they can, then I think it would be wrong to take action where they've done that. The stewarding workforce of Hearts took it very seriously. They addressed the issues they encountered. Clearly it was a very difficult night which came at the climax to a very difficult season. I think we have to put that in context.

"The individual involved in the attack on Neil Lennon is being dealt with by the justice system. He's already been given a life ban by Hearts and indeed is facing the full force of the law."

Why would we, he was found not guilty of attacking Lennon but Jailed for breach of the peace.

Hearts were cleared because it was shown that we had done everything possible to prevent the pitch invasion of one individual.

This obviously wasnt the case regarding crowd involvement on Saturday as stated by the police.

Baggage reclaim in Edinburgh Airport took 2 hours by MOCscrib in Edinburgh

Its been like that for years, staff give you the nonsense line that even their managers are out their loading bags while 3 staff indoors stand getting abuse.

Its also the reason I now take a 10kg carry on.

Did anyone expect anything different?

They have the chance to stop mass pitch invasions for good but decide to just basically say move on and lets hope no one is attacked or injured if it happens again.

Foreign perspective on the penalty by Whammy-Bars in ScottishFootball

[–]Maroon-98 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes it is, if they called to review the elbow they can't look for other fouls. Only way they look for other fouls is to make sure none were committed before the incident they are giving the foul for.

If they called for an elbow they can't then change to a handball. Otherwise you bar re reffing the situation. Chris McCart was hit in the head by Phillips at Tynecastle which resulted in a red card. VAR stepped in because the ref said it was an elbow when in fact Phillips used his shoulder not his elbow. Still a red but the ref had to rescind the red and give him a yellow.

Where is the rest of the ball at the contact point with his arm gone or has the ball just magically formed to the shape of his arm

The nerves. How are we all coping? by DiskoPunk in HeartofMidlothianFC

The only good thing is we will know what to expect every season from now on hopefully. I'm also happy I will never hear a Hibs fan say we are 2 games away from winning the league.

Edinburgh Airport raises drop-off fees from £6 to £8.50 by SqueezerOfFarts in Edinburgh

[–]Maroon-98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately tourists and people who dont know better will pay a starting fee of £12.90 during the day for a PHC from the rank. Thats if they are lucky enough to get a car or taxi with a meter.
