    That's for damned sure. One thing you'll never see is a lawyer in a hurry.
  2. The Real PapaBear
    You may be right and it would be nice to think you were - but I'm afraid I don't think HMRC would take that into consideration. HMRC is a very long way from Scotland and they don't give a tuppeny toss who they annoy up here.

    'Rangers' is unlikely to begin a lawsuit against anyone; skeltons and closets and all that. Any action would have to be instigated by individuals through the civil rather than criminal law courts. The advantage of that is that the requirements regarding proof are less; the disadvantage is that £500k is unlikely to get you very far.

    It wouldn't matter who owned the entity; it's the entity that would be pusued for money, not the owners.

    Nonsense, my good fellow; simple balderdash! Rangers is like an aristocratic lady who, by foul deed and dire misfortune, has fallen on hard time and finds herself scrubbing floors for a living. But she's still a Lady and we still love her. What does or doesn't come out of Ibrox - from the mouths of people who should be allowed to sweep the marble staircase, far less walk up it - has no bearing on being a Rangers supporter. You don't support the Board or the company running the club; you support the shirt. you support the guys wearing it and, yes, even Bilel Mohsni. you support the entity, the concept, the memories. It isn't the club which has disgraced itself, nor the fans - it's the various collections of crooks, ****s, criminals and pond life parasites who have infected and infested us, over whom we had little if any say. (although, inshallah, that may now be about to change) And yes, our fans can be hard to take at times (ask me how I felt watching them the weekend after the Referendum!) but they have proved themselves to be truly the Greatest fans in the world over this past two years. the fans were there when they were needed for the immediate survival of the club, and they are absent when they need to be absent for the long term benefit of the club. Being a Rangers fan is not something you really have any choice about. You just are. So, chin up mate and get on with it.

    I sincerely doubt Ashley has "given up" anything. He will almost certainly have exchanged the naming rights for something.

    If it needs pointing out, it needs pointing out on the forum where it's happening; not on Gersnet. I and a few others on here are not members of any other forums - and I suspect our reasons for that are the same. We're not interested in the other places and the last thing we want is for their internecine squabbles to spill over into here.

    the BBC have been their usual dishonest selves in their (lack of ) reporting about this (repeated) disgrace. That's to be expected and there's nothing we can do about that shower of unaccountable liars. the SFA, however, should be taking action against the club for the misbehaviour of their fans. if this doesn't constitute bringing the game into disrepute, I don't know what does.
  9. The Real PapaBear
    We don't know when Ashley got involved for the first time and I suspect 'those who cannot be named' might be called 'Ashley'

    disqualified as in not being able to control two clubs at the same time
  11. The Real PapaBear
    If you were disqualified from taking control of a club officially, but you needed people who would do whatever you told them to do to act as a front, what sort of people would you look to employ? Perhaps you would look for the sort of people who are sociopathic enough that they do not care one iota for the club they are supposed to represent and are completely impervious to public criticism or pressure but not intelligent enough to think for themselves or pose any sort of threat to your ambitions?
  12. The Real PapaBear
    aye, but only on one of his two faces.
  13. The Real PapaBear
    it's a bloody tradgedy what's happened to that club - once upon a time one of Englands giants. The fact that they and the likes of Sheffield Wednesday are in the lower leagues while teams like Swansea, Hull and Burnley are in the top flight is just unnatural. There but for the grace of god.....
  14. The Real PapaBear
    Why couldn't we, exactly?
  15. The Real PapaBear
    let's wait til after x-mas when the men get sorted from the boys and see how you do on a cold night in Alloa
  16. The Real PapaBear
    definitely think there's room for an official complaint to our compliance officer here, gs. Fight the power, brother! Whole thing's as bent as an Arab's dagger, you ask me.
  17. The Real PapaBear
    if we still have him by next x-mas, we'll be doing well.
  18. The Real PapaBear
    I reckon the words of the senior players carry more weight than those of a manager who doesn't seem able to get a team motivated,
  19. The Real PapaBear
    This is where Jig, Boyd, Miller and Wallace have to earn their corn and make sure everyone knows what's at stake here.
  20. The Real PapaBear
    And even though McCoist didn't sign a player we couldn't afford for a position we didn't need, this still turns into an Ally bashing thread. Any chance we could change the record even sometimes?
  21. The Real PapaBear
    Sir, I stand corrected and slightly less ignorant than I was earlier this evening.
  22. The Real PapaBear
    Possibly so - but he should still have the right to be a cunt if he wants to without risking losing his job. If he worked with children, it might be a different matter since you wouldn't want them exposed to somebody as twisted as he is but if he's a paper shuffler or keyboard puncher, let him get on with his sad little life. When we join this forum we agree to forego a degree of free speech in order to abide by the rules of the forum we want to join.That's a self-imposed curtailment so we're not forced to abide by them because we're not forced to be here. I think we all agree that there is a limit to free speech - and that surely must be when it has the potential to harm others, like shouting "Fire" in a packed cinema or inciting people to "kill the Jews/blacks/your favourite group here". The eejit from Dundee wasn't inciting anyone to violence against us or anyone else, he was just being an immature wee twat and as Voltaire said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." i don' know if I'd take to the barricades to defend this clown, but I'd at least shake my head ruefully if he lost his job.

    If the legal system punishes people simply for being offensive then we really have no such thing as free speech. It's different if he's attacking a racial group, but apart from that surely the whole point of having free speech is to allow people to be offensive and/or to say things which the establishment doesn't like?
  24. The Real PapaBear
    If everybody lost their job because they were an arse at some point in their life we'd have a very long dole queue.

    most of the house if my neighbour's cat is any guide
