After being ignored by FIFA George Foulkes has taken his SPFL heart-break to the SFA.
The former Labour MP is struggling to come to terms with Celtic winning the 25/26 Premiership title.
Foulkes almost Chaired Hearts into liquidation under former owner Vladimir Romanov but now considers himself as some sort of beacon for justice and sporting integrity.
The anger from Tynecastle since Saturday afternoon has been non-stop.
First up the club made a statement about ‘reports of attacks on players’. Rather than commenting on reports from the Celtic Park press box a check around the bus home to Edinburgh would have cleared up the situation.
HEARTS JUST CAN’T COPE WITH OR ACCEPT LOSING TO CELTIC
As well all know only egos were injured. No player was attacked on the pitch by Celtic fans. The pitch invasion lasted less than three minutes.
Derek McInnes wasn’t hanging around as he ordered his losers onto the bus and out of Glasgow.
Late this afternoon we were treated to:
I have written to your son asking if it was a poisonous atmosphere at home that made him think singing sectarian songs in public was acceptable.

The other area of complaint was time-keeping. Apparently the match wasn’t played to a conclusion.
Keith Jackson has been a champion of this, latching on to the ‘missing minute theory’ in the Daily Record.
Callum Osmand scored Celtic’s third goal with 97 minutes and 27 seconds on the clock. Don Robertson had indicated for an extra eight minutes to be played.
THE TIME-KEEPING CLAIM
Between Lawrence Shankland scoring the opening goal and Celtic restarting the match there was a break of 90 seconds. The Hearts players celebrated extensively.
It is fair to assume that the Celtic players may have celebrated Osmand’s goal for one minute.
Taking us through the eight minutes of stoppage time.
Only someone with the morals of Foulkes would dispute that the match reached its conclusion.
After Anas Sarwar and the Labour Party were humiliated at the election to the Scottish Parliament May has been a difficult month for Brian Wilson’s old colleague.
Thankfully he can still pick up £300 a shift for logging in at the House of Lords. After a toilet break Foulkes can return home having taken another chunk of money from the taxpayers.
Are you typing or writing? All the extra time had been played the ref blows the whistle seconds later. Why do you lie so much? pic.twitter.com/9BC8n8humA

Good man. Can you keep us all updated on how this goes?
Bit surprised you’ve gone to Ian Maxwell though. Surely he wouldn’t supersede your guy at FIFA?
Was he not going to sort it for you on Monday?

From Sunday we had:
Former Heart of Midlothian chairman George Foulkes has revealed he is escalating his SPFL complaint over the Celtic game to FIFA.
He received a response from Neil Doncaster that didn’t answer his concerns.
