Hearts statement on pitch invasion and end of match

Club Statement – Hearts

"...We have also written to the SFA and SPFL setting out our observations and questions regarding the circumstances surrounding the premature ending of the match, and expressing our concern that a troubling precedent has been set whereby a pitch invasion can effectively determine the duration of a football match, rather than the match officials.  We have asked them for a prompt response to the points we have raised..."

If this was a UEFA match there is no way the match would have ended as it did on Saturday. Either the spectators would have been removed from the pitch and the match played to it's conclusion, or it would have been abandoned and Hearts award a 3-0 win.

You think I'm joking? UEFA are absolute sticklers and will award a 3-0 win to a club if their opponents field an ineligible player for a couple of minutes at the end of a match. Just ask Celtic!

Curious about this one. He's only 24 and has played a lot of games for Birmingham over the last 18 months. Mcinnes thinks he'll play for scotland and reports today Celtic are watching him. Why did Birmingham loan him out? Did Hearts make great financial offer for a 6 month loan deal?

I bought this laptop a few months ago because it was very cheap. About £200. It has 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD.

It's good for basic stuff but if you have more than say 6 windows open at a time the performance just nose-dives. The whole thing often freezes up and you can be waiting nearly 60 seconds before the screen and keyboard becomes responsive again.

You really want to be just using one application at a time. Say a word processor and/or a spreadsheet.

Do these cameras have a well defined finite life?

The optics should last "forever" I guess since they are enclosed and have no moving parts.

But what about the camera sensor? I think there is also a mechanical shutter. I'm not sure if there is a cooler as well?

I believe a new one sells for ballpark about $25,000 US dollars so a second hand one would interest me if I could be assured that after say 2-3 years initial use it could still do its job well for another 5 years or so.
