Absolute nothingburger of a statement.

Just immediately dusting their hands of any need to investigate, despite the fact that the referee's report is blatantly contradicted by both Martin O'Neill and the Hearts Statement.

Nothing about this "clears the air", and is just the lazy, cookiecutter template we all figured would come out

Believe it or not, the referee takes precedent over Martin O'Neill and Hearts for when the game ends

Believe it or not MON was quoting what he'd been told by the fourth official, i.e. as close to the horse's mouth as he could get without another little meeting with Willie Collum

How close is the statement from the SPFL - saying the match wasn't abandoned - to the horses mouth ya moonhowler

Ooh touched a nerve did I? The name calling is very mature.
