| 101. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:30 I feel for Hamilton fans but obviously it`s a huge sense of relief. Is there a single club that hasn`t gone through something like this under shady ownership? Feels like this sport exists in a governance vacuum for whatever reason. Reply |
| 102. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:30 We could be safe by Sunday if the results go our way.  Reply |

| 104. Author: dafc111 Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:33 From the courier re the appeal... "Courier Sport has been told that, despite reports to the contrary, Accies did not appeal the SFA’s decision before the deadline" It does however end "it is expected Accies could contest the decision and have reportedly employed a King’s Counsel to explore their options" Reply |
| 105. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:33 15 points is a lot so I`d guess that if/when they appeal it might get reduced to 12, 10 or 8, but it won`t all get expunged. No chance of that with such a severe initial punishment(touch wood) fingers crossed etc. They`ve came down hard on them so they`re f`d basically. I think we can relax and look forward to next season now with Neil Lennon in charge and our new 3 hundred thousand quid Bulgarian striker up front banging the goals in 😆.

| 106. Author: Never10yairds Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:34 Absolutely delighted with that. What a belter of a result for us! Reply |
| 107. Author: GJS93 Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:35 "So a win for us on Saturday with ardrie getting beat sees us safe ?" a win and Airdrie draw or lose = safe a draw and Airdrie lose = needs at least a 14 goal swing for Airdrie to finish above us. Reply |
| 108. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:37 The Courier says Hamilton could contest the decisions and have reportedly engaged a KC to explore their options. Hamilton`s only lifeline is to win their 3 remaining games and hope Airdrie lose theirs. It would give them something to play for on Saturday against QP. Post Edited (Thu 17 Apr 18:41) Reply |
| 109. Author: Geordiepar Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:45 Given the charge sheet then I don’t think the penalties imposed are overly harsh. Even if they do appeal then I doubt that the penalty will be reduced. When the SPFL start using words about failing to act with the utmost good faith then you know they’re having the book thrown at them. Feel for their fans. Reply |
| 110. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:46 That is an absolutely brutal sanction, especially at the this stage in the season. Surely any appeal would need to be resolved quickly, because teams approach to games will be different depending on rivals points/league position etc. Reply |
| 111. Author: 87Par Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:50 Announce Lennon 3 year deal please. Reply |
| 112. Author: da_no_1 Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:51 I`m stunned it`s as hefty a punishment as that but there seems to be pretty sound basis for it. Suppose there`s only one reason a guy like Oli Shaw signs for them and it`s cash so if they aren`t paying wages that has to be deemed an unfair advantage over other teams. Also, the SPFL seems to be really hacked off with them, given the wording re that 1st charge. Can`t see an appeal being successful at all. Let`s stay up off our own backs tho.

| 113. Author: GJS93 Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:51 they had a KC for the hearing today and when you see the first charge you can see why. they have nothing to lose if they can and do appeal apart from the legal costs. Reply |
| 114. Author: parsfan Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:55 Not for the first time either. 15-20 years ago, maybe more, they were deducted just enough points to make it virtually impossible for them to stay up. That was after their players went on strike. They went down then as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 115. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:56 I`m one of those unfortunate humans that suffers from excess empathy so it`s a weird feeling being happy for us but sad for the Hamilton fans. I`d much rather we stayed up on merit by getting enough points in our last 3 games. How would you feel? Sitting in 7th place with 3 games to go then BOOM! 15 point deduction and almost guaranteed relegation. I`m happy that we`re pretty much safe, but I`m in no mood for celebrating. I know that others would laugh if it was us, but I`m not them. I remember what happened to us not that long ago and it wasn`t a nice feeling. I`d imagine that any appeal would have to happen in the next week or 2? You can`t unrelegate/unpromote a team ffs. Post Edited (Fri 18 Apr 13:22) Reply |
| 116. Author: Geordiepar Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 18:57 The not paying wages was apparently an admin issue and not the fact that they were unable to pay. Due to previous issues they are being done for trying to conceal it more than anything Reply |
| 117. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 19:05 Zero sympathy for them for not paying players. Clearly brought in lads they couldn’t afford and thought they’d get away with it. Their fans should vent their anger at the board and not the SPFL. Reply |
| 118. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 19:18 Great to know we can’t be relegated automatically but 2nd still a possibility when you consider the fixture list. Queens Park will now be favourites against Hamilton most likely. If we lose on Saturday and Airdrie win we have them to play the week after. I don’t want to even think about that scenario but it’s the Pars after all. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |

| 120. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 17th Apr 2025. 19:53 According to the BBC report Hamilton have 5 working days to launch an appeal. Reply |
