1873bear 192 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Docking points would be harsh..... lets investigate the circumstances & maybe a fine if found guilty of any wrong doing...Hopefully lessons will be learnt here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 You'll judge them without knowing the facts of the case???? Guilty without trial!!! Are you serious???There's no case to be had. There's no way 1100 tickets were sold above capacity without anyone at the club knowing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm surprised to find so many (albeit a minority) calling Elgin greedy cheats and demanding various assorted punishments when we don't even know what happened yet.You would think that after last week's announcements we, more than anyone, would see the wisdom of presuming innocence until actual guilt is established.I'm still assuming it was just an error until the FTTT (Four-Thousand Tickets Tribunal) decision is released.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 There's no case to be had. There's no way 1100 tickets were sold above capacity without anyone at the club knowing.How do you KNOW this is what happened? Shocking the intelligence shown by some on here. Have you forgotten the persecution we suffered by being judged guilty without trial or investigation?I'll wait for the verdicts of the SFL inquiry into this before I see fit to judge them. Even then I don't particularly want to see a fellow SFL member club suffer too harshly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Give them a pointless transfer ban that ends when the window opens. If it's good enough for hearts......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I wouldn't want to see them docked points for this.I also wouldn't like anybody to be able to say we were helped because the closest competitors were docked.But then again, if they did...........You may jest Oleg...But I guarantee you on some messageboard somewhere that will be the latest conspiracy theory from the Rangers haters.

scarkev 3,540 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It certainly wasn't an innocent mistake and it was as a result of greed and the chance to exploit our fans.....however I think deducting points is not the right way to go....a fine and compensation for those put out and let's move on!

Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They shouldn't be docked points. They gained no competitive advantage. In fact it gave us more time to get players back from injury. A fine is sufficient, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanFerguson2012 123 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I don't want them to have points deducted nor a fine. Just a stern warning to be more careful in future. They must have been pretty disorganised and while it's not our fault I can sympathise with all these wee teams trying to make as much as they can when we come calling.
