Well done Ally.

 

Highest number of league goals in the UK?

YES! Wick Academy, currently 3rd in the Highland League, are closest.

And we are quite a bit ahead of the other league leaders...

Well done Ally btw!

The daily mail have McCoist and Lennon in the frame for the job...

The dream team

So you can't exectly go much higher than that, can you?

By the looks of things, if it were possible, D'Art would already be there.

Just out of interest ... who is checking the work of HMRC, i.e. who can discipline them?

It is a non-ministerial department but the aforementioned David Gauke MP, is the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and Minister responsible for HMRC.

If you want to besmirch somebody, you just say, ‘Look at his past’. But it wasn’t anything to do with gangsterism I went to prison for, it was non-payment of VAT.

Al Capone could have said the same thing...

I don't know anything about these people other than what I have read and on that basis I'm not terribly comfortable with their involvement...

The site is down. What's the jist of it?

The club owns it's facilities contrary to internet rumours.

The club can't respond to every obsessive blog post but will monitor these things.

Daily Record pursues an anti-Rangers agenda and fans should see that for what it is...

Jack Irvine of Media House does not speak for this Club.

That ACCA document doesnt prevent Walter from making a factual statement. Further, it would be difficult for the club to sue if what he says is accurate, factual information. Obviously there are exceptions to this, including some things which occur within the boardroom - but Walter should be able to give his own reasons for leaving.

I agree craig but it is a bit of a minefield, your fact may not be my fact.

I think Walter needs to make a statement. I was just trying to show that those left behind can use legal threats to make him think twice about the content...

Seems like an empty threat. Anyone officially connected with Rangers who serves legal notice on Walter Smith for speaking his mind can kiss goodbye to any sort of credibility amongst the support for ever.

 

It would be like cutting your throat to spite your face.

Perhaps so Andy but it comes back to the old chestnut of fiduciary obligation, there are legal restraints put upon a resigning director.

From an ACCA document on corporate governance:

Where a director has resigned, he or she will still be

subject to certain fiduciary responsibilities towards the

company, so he or she should be careful to conduct

himself or herself carefully. He or she should not act in any

way which could be construed as damaging the company

and, in particular, it is advisable to exercise care not to

make any statements which might all too easily be

interpreted as impugning the integrity of past colleagues

within the company. While bearing these considerations in

mind, it is reasonable to make a statement, perhaps a

letter to shareholders or a press release, announcing the

resignation and the reason(s) for it. While directors do not

have to publicise a reason for resigning, it should be

possible to do so without adverse legal ramification. The

reason should be as accurate as possible.

Full doc here for those of a mind to read it http://www.accaglobal.co.uk/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-technical/corporate-governance/tech_tp_rfb.pdf

It's official... http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=11668470

3000 still sounds like a decent capacity. More than one or two clubs had last season IIRC.

I was at Stair Park in season 92-93 for a League Cup game and the crowd was a comfortable 4500.

I always remember the segregation, it said on the ticket "Rangers Fans turn right at the bandstand"

Couple of grainy pics from the night:

For those wondering Rangers won 5-0, hat trick for McCoist and a brace from Hateley...

It doesn't take a genius to work out that someone with his money and expertise could make a few quid out of Rangers' current predicament.

I think it's just a graphic the club used last year. Just needs updated.

...and the fact that 1872-2012 is a 140 year period.

Anchorman, any chance of sticking to the subject of the thread here please? Thanks!

Oops I think I had a part to play in slipping off topic Zappa. My apologies.

From what I could see Chris eventually had enough, after trying the diplomacy route for as long as he could, before 'fighting' back. Even then he didn't reach the levels of some who were attacking him. he was not the instigator and I'm willing to bet he would be happy to return to diplomacy for the sake of uniting the fans. I'm not confident his detractors would.

I agree 100% hence the difficulties that any fan ownership model would face.

why on Earth have they turned on Chris Graham?

In my reading of it, the problem seems to stem from the TRS outing of IAMRangers and more specifically the refusal to name the source.

Chris and his detractors have had a forthright exchange of views on the subject on more than one occasion with no quarter given on either side to be honest.

Indeed and under normal circumstances I wouldn't expect us to even get a glimpse of the nitty gritty details, but in these times, with the ongoing boardroom & PR war being played out in public, it's possible that the whole report will be leaked if there's anything in it that one side thinks they can benefit from.

I expect we'll see Craig Mather reading the full report aloud on YouTube...

@sneedhearn

What can I say I'm a W.C. Fields fan...

one month? isn't it normally paid quarterly?

In my business VAT is paid quarterly but PAYE is paid by 22nd day of the month after the deductions were made. I think companies may be able to choose to make PAYE payments quarterly too though...

Can't see Moyes lasting long...

Similar situation as Wilf McGuinness had when he replaced Sir Matt Busby. A thankless task. McGuinness was the United reserve team coach and stepped up. He lasted a year...

What's the difference between compensation & a transfer fee then?

Compensation is a FIFA stipulated sum to cover the cost of developing a young player even though his contract has expired. A transfer fee is in essence the perceived market value of an in contract player...

From what I gather there is a compensation of around £20k to pay but not a transfer fee.

He could be registered on Sept 1st as you say.

I may have picked things up wrongly though...

I wonder if you could ask your infosec friends if they agree or disagree with the information in post #186. I would be interested to know if they disagree with this information.

I don't see the point but hell why not...

Hmm, i've been on there since 2007 and I can't remember you.

 

EDIT: Or maybe I do but you've been on so little...

I was there in the early days of CR, Dado, Coop, MadCow, Sneddon, JeffCrapInTheHead and co. I attended a few meets as well. I'm still on there but mostly as a lurker...

Next time I see you on there I'll say hello

I have no doubt that people could vpn to a server then out to a forum or use a citrix style detour. I know also that not much is secure out there a quick look on http://www.shodanhq.com/ proves that!

I was trying to deal with Barca's muddled technical argument in language that was as non-patronising as I could. #epicfail

I install a lot of internet facing devices in my day job and we try to protect it but it is a very tough call.

I just think that in the issue we are discussing it is unlikely that anyone has traced an IP address back to someones desk
