You can always ask for your money back from defending a fellow fan and donate it to help offset Sandy Easedale's costs. You spend all your time defending him anyway.

I would imagine that the Fund money would go to Craig's legal expenses and not to any damage award. As to whether he should supported, for me it's a no-brainer: Easedale is trying to use the threat of legal action which he can afford to stifle dissent among us proles, who can't afford to fight it. It's a disgraceful weakness of this country's legal system that the rich can buy 'justice' while we are always screwed. The RFF would not only be fighting for one guy, it would be fighting for us all and for our right to raise our voices in protest - and since it seems that the only thing between the complete takeover of the club by youknowwhos and youknowwhats is fan pressure (laxey loan anyone?) then if they can silence the fans then they can damage the club. As we have proved over the past two years WE ARE the club so any money used to defend a decent fan is money used in the correct way and in the right spirit, imho.

I think that's called Stickin' Yer Heid in the Sand syndrome

I think it's a variation of Stockholm syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

fuck "temperate" I'm struggling to keep it legal!

You see, I'd say that it was at best incompetence; at worst,.... well, I don't want to get you into any trouble, so I'll leave it there.

have you ever heard of a guy called Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf?

The thing about vermin, parasites, and scavengers - like rats or hyenas, for example - is that they may have sharp teeth and are able to prey on weaker individuals, but they are opportunists, not fighters. Their nature is to feed on bodies wounded or killed by others. Thus, when they sense the approach of a bigger beast or danger or if a bright light is shone in their direction, they will generally gorge themselves until the last possible moment before scuttling away from the area and looking for their next meal elsewhere.

yes, I know they have agreed to cancel it, but you haven't answered either of the questions: what was wrong with the loan? Why did it need to be cancelled?

what is it exactly that laxey should get credit for?

one of the defining characteristics of stupid people, either individually or in groups, is an almost complete lack of any self-awareness.

Dave King Interview in Papers Tomorrow
The Real PapaBear replied to chilledbear's topic in Rangers Chat
The only ones to ever make empty promises about spending millions are the one you support. Murray, for all his faults, did spend the money - and it wasn't spending the money that got us into this mess; it was the Salem like hysteria over the BTC and the bank forcing Murray to sell to Whyte, who then did what he did. unlike the crooks and ****s who got us where we are now, King has actually put money into the club rather than syphoning it out. -
yeah, but it would have to be a believable backup - nobody would believe he was clapping Peralta.
-
you sure? I don't recall an episode where he managed to get 30% interest on a guaranteed loan to himself.

Am I right in thinking you have never posted on any subject apart from the board?

One of the main characters in HBO's excellent Boardwalk Empire (you'll remember, that's the show set in 1920s America, about the gangster who poses as a businessman, with an irredeemably stupid younger brother who served time in prison, as his side-kick) is a young Al Capone. Al Capone was also a sociopath who often acted in an impulsive, self-destructive way and often sought revenge with no regard as to how this would impact on himself or his gang. I would highly recommend the show, even if parts of it may seem depressingly familiar.

you can maybe imagine a Mourinho or a Ferguson side losing a game 6-0. Maybe. Once. But you cannot imagine it happening time and time again as it does with Wenger's teams. The failing that he has as a manager is that his teams, since the departure of Viera, always seem suspect and a bit powder puff. They can wipe the floor with sides of lesser ability, but when they come up against teams with similar ability and more character, yesterday is the result.
-
It puzzles the hell out of me why no English club has come looking for a manager that cracks under pressure, constantly brings his club and the game into disrepute, fails 9 times out of ten in competitions where he faces any opposition and has the media presence of a borstal inmate. Can't figure it out at all.

As any Freelancer will tell you, when you get an offer of paid work, it's hard to turn it down.

What passes for the leadership at Rangers should be writing to both Dundee Utd FC and the SFA asking for clarification of Mr Hugh's comments and demanding to know whether Dundee Utd concurs with those comments. If they do, we should be asking for further clarification as to why they do; if they don't we should be asking for them to condemn or at the vesy least disassociate themselves from the comments.

You don't say.

Thanks for clearing that up for me there, Pete.

I always thought it was sitting "in the dock" but if you say "on the dock", I'm happy to take your word for it

The Righteous Brothers?!?!? I see your Irony Classes are progressing nicely. Last time I saw haircuts like the Easdales it was on Boardwalk Empire. For anyone who doesn't know the show, it's set in Atlantic City during the 1920s and is about a gangster masquerading as a buisnessman (played by Steve Buscemi) who has a fairly stupid, useful-idiot younger brother who served time in prison. The show deals with eternal themes of manipulation, betrayal and dishonesty. I can highly recommend it.
