We might have got the Fair Play UEFA place for this season, but it seems our "mates" at the SFA thought Saint Mirren finishing behind us merited a commendation whilst we just get ignored as usual.......

Disciplinary Analysis
Thursday, 20 August 2009
The Scottish FA has today published their Disciplinary Analysis statistics for Season 2008/09.
Heart of Midlothian have been fined £50,000 by the Disciplinary Committee for their poor disciplinary record.
This is the fifth successive season that Heart of Midlothian have been fined and it is the highest ever imposed on a club for indiscipline. £40,000 of the fine is due immediately with £10,000 suspended until the committee's consideration of the mid season disciplinary analysis in January 2010. If there is no noticeable improvement in the club's discipline, the remaining £10,000 will be payable.
25 other clubs were fined, including a £20,000 fine for Hibernian, and 19 clubs were warned as a result of their disciplinary records.
The committee was pleased to commend the following clubs for displaying a satisfactory standard of discipline during the season:
Celtic, St. Mirren, Partick Thistle, Peterhead, Brechin City, Cowdenbeath, Keith, Preston Athletic, Edinburgh University, Stirling University, Dalbeattie Star, Annan Athletic and Balintore.
