It's even simpler and more direct than that. The City of London Police raided Ibrox on 17/7/07 a matter of days after Reid resigned as Home Secretary. That raid was a result of Lord Stevens report into football corruption, the three clubs raided were Rangers, Newcastle and Portsmouth all clubs that had a close relationship with the agent Willie McKay. Stevens received "a degree of cooperation " from McKay (probably including the words 'side' and 'letter'). Reid was Home Secretary during the time of the Stevens inquiry and report. It is inconceivable that as Home Secretary he was not kept fully informed every step of the way in what was a matter of great importance in the sports world both nationally and wider afield. Weeks after the raid Reid was put forward as the new Celtic Chairman. Is it any wonder he was confident enough to declare that they'd "keep Rangers nailed to the floor." Spiers found Reid to be "an intriguing and engaging Celtic Chairman" no great surprise considering they shared the same goal.

Club1872 proposal (i.e. fan group amalgamation) now published
forlanssister replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Indeed there is and I sit on it and it's my personal experience on there that leaves me in absolutely no doubt at all that we need representation via a far stronger body than the Disability Matters Group could ever be. -

forlanssister replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Going by my own experiences I feel it's imperative that there is representation on Club 1872 as without the clout of a larger group we really are utterly powerless. I'm not saying any rep must themselves be disabled however they must be fully aware of the issues involved and have first hand experience, be that as a carer, a parent etc. I agree with BlueMazza that it's preferable to present matters directly rather than through a third party. -

Rule 9 is a red herring. Posted this elsewhere last night: -
Holt played in a higher league than Halliday last season.

Club1872 proposal (i.e. fan group amalgamation) now published
forlanssister replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Yes Rangers formed the Disability Matters Group to help address the current shortcomings in regards to the upcoming UEFA guidelines, I'm part of that group and believe it to be a worthwhile exercise that is making progress but still has a long, long way to travel. It's because of my experience on both the RFB and the DMG that I hold the view that it is imperative that the disabled have a voice via a larger Fans Body, on our own we are effectively powerless. I agree wholeheartedly that as you say the omission is not by design but I thought we'd reached a point where inclusion would be the norm obviously we're not quite at that point yet. -

So the only two bodies that had disabled representatives get burned and that's being dressed up as progress. Never mind though because if we pay our money every month we may win a ticket for somewhere we haven't got a hope in hell of accessing. -
Dave King Statement ( and interim accounts)
forlanssister replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
So he could cherry pick the companies in the Murray Group for himself and his family before the white elephant that was the Premier Property Group fell from the sky. Murray willingly and knowingly sacrificed for his own personal gain. -
Be lucky to find anyone with a pulse in Ellon.

You lucky f*&ker! I went for a steak one (didn't know about the steak and black pudding) but there were none left at the time so had to make do with a Scotch Pie which as well as being rank rotten left me killed with heartburn all night....

The Founders Trail and Parks of Hamilton.
forlanssister replied to The Moonlighter's topic in Rangers Chat
Personally it would entail being manhandled on and off a bus multiple times not an enjoyable experience for either myself or those who have to do the lifting. I've wanted to do the trail for a long time and noticed that some of the open topped buses you were using were accessible however I've not been able coordinate a stay in Glasgow with a tour date. Don't take this as a criticism of the good work you as a group do as it's not directed as such. -
The Founders Trail and Parks of Hamilton.

Sad but not surprising. -

Is it wheelchair accessible? -
Basically another "if I don't get my way I'm off" then. I find the whole situation rather odd and somewhat unedifying.

Rangers First board election: Gersnet's voting poll...
forlanssister replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
I'm not aware that you did post any RFB minutes (if that clears it up any). -
Are there really 14k actually paying monthly?

Rangers First board election: Gersnet's voting poll...
forlanssister replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
Can't quite believe low vote for Graeme Henderson. Decent CV and statement, put his money where his mouth is and a bought a substantial shareholding which he'll proxy irrespective of his personal outcome. A refreshing change from those basically saying vote for me or I start a new group and those who'd hitch a ride with them to fluff their ego's. -
It's really just a 1 year extension as his existing deal ran to 2017. Would've liked a lengthier deal but that's better than nothing.
-
It'll be available on playback, I'm sure BH could provide a link. In fairness to him it really makes for beyond bizarre listening.

Behind the backs of your fellow board members. You also had the opportunity to raise the matter at any time during the lengthy meeting but chose not to, why? The outcome of that entirely spurious complaint was that it was laughed away but it was a nice indicator to Rangers of your modus operandi. I've already told you numerous times that the complaint in regards to your appearance on Rangers Chat was surreal and Pythonesque. The complaints from board members weren't alleged they were real. You were not dismissed without reason, you were dismissed as the the result of your own actions however that fact seems something you are totally unable to countenance. You must be getting pretty desperate if you're trying to equate my use of the Companies Act with your own lamentable personal behaviour whilst a member of the RFB.

You had ample opportunity to raise the matter with other members prior to the meeting and at the meeting itself but you lacked the moral fortitude and honesty to do so. You know full well I wasn't the source of any complaint against you. However you did complain to Rangers about me prior to the election for the initial board. It's fact not conjecture that you embarked on an email campaign behind your fellow Board members backs. It's fact not conjecture that you sat throughout the meeting and did not raise any objection during the meeting. It's fact not conjecture that you agreed that we should proceed with the method discussed during the meeting. It's fact not conjecture that you fired off an email early in the morning rendering the previous nights meeting an utter waste of time. Don't flatter yourself I myself encouraged at least three members to participate in the election and received a couple of approaches despite my clearly stated intention at the outset that I had no interest in being an Office Bearer as I was there simply to draw attention to the plight of my fellow wheelchair fans not to fluff an ego. Actually you weren't a candidate for the post of Secretary your own actions ensured that. You thought you were Machiavelli but the others unlike yourself could see further than the end of their noses. Good for you and I hope those who take part in the vote note that. However if I had a vote I'd be looking for candidates who are open, transparent, honest, team workers and willing to put the greater good ahead of their own self interest; during your albeit brief spell on the RFB I never saw you demonstrate those traits.
