And McInnes now cited for his comments regarding the penalty. Clear pattern emerging here. Dissention in the ranks cannot be tolerated.

Clear vibes of “move on, move on, nothing to see here! But if you speak out about this we’re coming down on you” right here.

It's not clear yet  whether this is an ill-judged  panic measure by the SFA or their usual vindictiveness when challenged. Either way the clubs, as constituent members of the association, should be instituting a complete overhaul of the refereeing system (including VAR) in Scotland to ensure its proper transparency and accountability. Why is the kowtowing to Celtic so blatant when they are only one club?

Unfortunately, the clubs seem feeble and self-serving generally and reluctant to combine  to stand up for themselves, so any reform is unlikely to happen and the Scottish game will descend in to further  farce and loss of credibilty in the "authorities".

Full investigation of the SFA otherwise known as Celtic Football Association by a third party is required.

Will the Celtic players who were pictured mocking our Sam with hands on their head be cited. Will ONeil be cited for having private conversations with Collum and complaining about referee decisions. 

Its time our club, Hearts and others called out the influence that Celtic have on our game. Its beyond a joke. We need to fight our right for freedom of speach and consistancey of these punishments. There has been many instances throughtout season of players, management questioning decisions. Nothing was done then, so why now? Time our lawyers got involved.

The club that has caused the biggest problems getting off practically scot free whilst other clubs are hammered. 

Time clubs grew a backbone!

Watt will get a hefty suspension for this to deflect and made an example of.  Its what the CFA do...

I don't have a problem with the SFA deciding to do this, but only on the basis that they'll go back through every Celtic press conference, pre and post match interviews, general interviews, tweets and website stories or match reports.

Otherwise it's just another pathetic show of crawling and saying to Celtic "like us, like us please."

I'll even start them off, Callum McGregor on Trusty's red card against Hibs: "To send him off for that, we may as well all go up the road and stop playing football if that's going to be a red card every single week." Is the tweet by Watt any worse than that?

That's an excellent example but the SFA censuring The Untouchable McGregor? It's never going to happen, which is the problem in a nutshell.

One for the Society to find its voice on I think.

Therein lies the problem the other 10 Premiership clubs only look to  their own self interests and are not going to rock the boat to address the issues.

The premiership has the 11-1 voting criteria required before any changes can be made, which effectively means the ugly sisters can determine what happens and what does not to suit themselves.

All of the other 30 clubs outwith the premiership dont really care what goes on as they dont have to use VAR, never play the uglies, never have to deal with the stadium damage etc, so they dont get involved

Until the premiership clubs, mainstream media, Scottish Government, police Scotland etc start calling out these issues, nothing will ever change.

The SFA / SPFL blazers will continue as the cozy wee self interested clique it is, travelling the world on their expense accounts desperately trying to get their big teams to like them.
