Meanwhile, I'm instructed in a criminal appeal against sentence, for which I'll be paid £154.

Dundee United have paid compensation for their new manager. Then they're going cap in hand to the rest of the league for help. Fucking cheeky cunts.
As a matter of urgency, we would like to clarify our position in relation to the role being played by Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers in our case against the SPFL.
Those clubs were named in the Petition, along with Stranraer, because they are the clubs most likely to be impacted by a decision in our favour. We are not, and have never been, in direct dispute with them.
The SPFL is opposing our Petition and will do so at the forthcoming arbitration. Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers were not therefore required to litigate or arbitrate against us. However, they chose to do so.
For the avoidance of doubt, we accept that was a choice they were fully entitled to make, no doubt having been fully advised of the risks and costs. We absolutely know and understand that was not a decision to be taken lightly.
This is not about two Clubs, Hearts and Partick Thistle, battling against other member Clubs. This is about these two Clubs battling against the organisation, which is meant to look after all of our interests, and holding them accountable for their prejudicial actions. We would contend that any Club in our position would be taking similar action.
However, encouraging clubs to fund anyone's costs in this process could create further division. We consider such an approach to be at odds with the fundamental requirement of the SPFL rules that the SPFL and each Club shall behave towards each other with the utmost good faith. We cannot therefore let that pass without comment.
Glad we have spoken out. That surely helps give us some grounds to appeal when arbitration inevitably rules in the SPFL's favour if any other club has chipped into their legal fund?
SPFL board members have been approaching clubs to encourage them to donate to Raith and United Telling them they're acting as club chairmen and not as board members before they do it as well
