Romanov hits out at SFA
Vladimir Romanov says the SFA tried to "camouflage" injustices against Hearts with the £100,000 fine they imposed for their poor disciplinary.[LNB] Hearts have vowed to challenge the punishment, which was imposed last week, having received their seventh successive annual punishment from the SFA's disciplinary committee after collecting six red cards in all competitions last season.[LNB]The club's players were also shown 86 yellow cards in 38 Clydesdale Bank Premier League games, more than any other in the division.[LNB]Hearts must pay £60,000 immediately if their appeal fails, with the remainder due in two instalments next season if their conduct does not show "noticeable improvement".[LNB]Romanov said in The Herald: "If with this fine they want to camouflage all their unjustified decisions against Hearts throughout the season, then it is a normal practice for them - since it happens for the seventh year in a row.[LNB]"For me, everything became evident some time ago after that infamous match against Dundee [in 2008] when three Hearts players were red-carded and three penalties were awarded against us.[LNB]"I am even grateful to the referee of that game for his eye-opening actions. That case revealed the true faces of the people devoid of brain and conscience. Unfortunately, the match officials still remain their slaves while I had so much hoped that starting during this past season they were going to be set free."[LNB]
