Hearts Fined £100,000
Your sins will cost you. For the seventh successive season, Hearts have been fined by the SFA's Disciplinary Committee for their poor disciplinary record during the season. This time the cost is £100,000 which is the highest-ever imposed on a club for indiscipline. The club will have to find £60,000 right away, with the remaining £40,000 suspended as follows: * £20,000 is suspended until consideration of the mid-season Disciplinary Analysis in January 2012 and will be payable if there is no noticeable improvement in the club's discipline. * £20,000 is suspended until consideration of the Disciplinary Analysis at the end of season 2011/12 and will be payable if there is no noticeable improvement in the club's discipline. Hearts were fined £60,000 (£10,000 suspended) for indiscipline at the end of last season, which was a record at the time. The committee fined a total of thirty clubs, with Stirling Albion receiving a £3,000 fine, while Dundee and Montrose both received fines of £2,000. It was not all doom and gloom as the committee commended a number of c ubs for their satisfactory standard of discipline during the season: Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Cowdenbeath, East Fife, Queen's Park, Deveronvale, Huntly, Sparans, Stirling University, Leith Athletic, Peebles Rovers, St Cuthbert Wanderers, Balintore and Bonar Bridge.
