Jim1955 12 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I completely agree, surely we are not completely friendless among the Scottish media and have noone willing to raise cain about the manifest hypocrisy here. Oh and a wee thought are the SPL continuing to trade while technically insolvent? I only ask given the lack of detail on the TV deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancornetto 1 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looks like another panel member - Charles Flint - had dealings with Celtic director Brian Quinn. Business favours and good turns are being called in left and right to make sure we sustain maximum damage. I heard a whisper earlier that Lord Nimmo was instrumental in the land deal between CFC and GCC. I'm trying to check that out now but cant see any mention of Nimmo in any capacity so it may be nonsense or it may be that he was the inside man in the legal world that smoothed it through. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAP1872 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Lord Nimmo Smith is the moron that Rhegan brought in to chair the so-called independent inquiry into Rangers after we went into administration in February. He's not someone I would trust one iota. He's been part of cover-ups, led failed investigations and was once called "Nimmo the Dimmo" by a Scottsih red top. The man is a complete embarassment to Scottish law. IMO if the SPL have brought that twat in to lead the EBT commission, it's almost a certainty that we're about to be stitched up again. "Nimmo the Dimmo" in all his glory! You have to ask yourselves, is he a "bum-bandit???" Source Scottish Football Assoc. appoint Lord Nimmo Smith who cleared Judges ‘Magic Circle’ Gay Sex for Justice Club to investigate problems at Rangers FCLord William Nimmo Smith, who was conned in Gay sex for judges investigation now to look at Rangers FC fiasco. A SCOTTISH JUDGE, Lord William Nimmo Smith who was branded “Nimmo the Dimmo” by the Sun Newspaper during its investigation into the Magic Circle gay threat to justice affair, where Lord Nimmo Smith, then a QC was tasked along with Procurator Fiscal James Friel with investigating allegations of several Scottish judges indulging in gay sex with young men for favours and rulings in Scottish courts, has been appointed by the Scottish Football Association (SFA) to chair an independent inquiry into the now widely reported problems at Rangers Football Club. A Press Release issued by the Scottish FA states : The Scottish FA can confirm that it has appointed as Chair The Right Honourable Lord William Nimmo Smith to inquire independently into Rangers FC. Stewart Regan, the Scottish FA chief executive, met with Lord Nimmo Smith today to define the terms of reference for the investigation. Lord Nimmo Smith is a former Senator of the College of Justice, who has served as an Insolvency Judge. In 2002, he was one of five judges who heard the appeal of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, at the Scottish Court in the Netherlands. The SFA’s Press Release goes onto give details of the independent panel convened under Nimmo Smith, which will include Professor Niall Lothian OBE, a Past President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland who was recently honoured in the New Year Honours List for services to Corporate and Civic Governance in Scotland. It also includes Bob Downes, former Director with the BT Group and currently Deputy Chairman of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, and Stewart Regan, a member of the panel in his capacity as director of the Scottish FA. The SFA have said the Independent Inquiry shall be afforded the same powers as the Scottish FA to investigate the potential breach of a number of its Articles of Association and shall present its findings to the Board within two weeks. Stewart Regan, Scottish FA chief executive: “I am delighted Lord Nimmo Smith has agreed to Chair the Independent Inquiry. I am certain the experience contained within the panel will enable us to achieve more clarity on the situation regarding Rangers FC. There will be no further comment on the investigation until it is complete and its findings presented to the Board.” However, worried fans & onlookers may well have cause to question the SFA’s decision to appoint Nimmo Smith, after reading how the QC was easily fooled by those involved in the Magic Circle gay threat to justice affair which turned up a blank after the QC finished his investigation, concluding “nothing happened”. The Report on an Inquiry into an Allegation of a Conspiracy to Pervert the Course of Justice in Scotland which can be viewed online here : REPORT ON MAGIC CIRCLE GAY JUSTICE SCANDAL (pdf) was widely rubbished as little more than an attempt to cover up well known habits of certain judges & prosecutors in Scotland who sought & gained sexual contact with males under the ages of 18 and less than 16. With the arrest of Blair Wilson, the judiciary & Crown Office staff who appear to have continued the habits of the Magic Circle are now worried for their own positions Scottish Sun branded Nimmo Smith “Nimmo the Dimmo” over Magic Circle gay sex for justice investigation. As the Herald newspaper reported : “.. during the investigation, Nimmo Smith was visited by Derek William Donaldson, the homosexual 32-year-old crook and self-acclaimed ''Fettesgate raider'' who was imprisoned for 18 months at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for assault and robbery. Donaldson approached Nimmo Smith posing as a journalist. Donaldson secretly recorded the meeting, and then offered his tapes for sale to newspapers. The Scottish Sun were the only takers. From their Glasgow offices, they agreed a £10,000 deal with Donaldson. The terms Donaldson demanded included undertakings by the Sun not to tell their readers about his lengthy and unattractive criminal record, nor to show his photograph. The Sun also agreed to pass money to Donaldson by an unusual and complex route. On Friday December 18, the day the report was published -- under the banner headline ''FETTES THIEF CONS GAY JUDGES PROBE QC'' -- News International Ltd. deposited £6500 in the clients' account of Edinburgh solicitors Cochrane and Blair Paterson, of Abercromby Place, to be passed on to Donaldson. The next day, the Sun published a second report on Donaldson's hoax, entitled ''NIMMO THE DIMMO.'' That evening, an intensely distressed Mr Nimmo-Smith sought psychiatric treatment at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.” Speaking in the Sun article titled “NIMMO THE DIMMO”, Scotland’s First Minister ALEX SALMOND, who was the leader of the SNP at the time at Westminster claimed “Scotland’s legal establishment had sunk lower in the public’s estimation because of the affair”. Lord Dervaird quits, even though Nimmo Smith’s report cleared everyone under the sun of rent boy justice fiddles. One of the big hitters to fall as a result of the gay sex for justice scandal was Lord Dervaird, a High Court judge who was forced to resign over the affair. The Dervaird affair received a special two page chapter in Nimmo Smith’s report, and Lord Dervaird who resigned in December 1989 after informing Lord Hope that he had been 'indiscreet' during his period on the bench in 'carrying on a homosexual relationship', even though Nimmo Smith’s report found absolutely no evidence of any gay sex for justice, (absolutely, of course not – Ed). However, Lord Dervaird has since returned to view in the SNP sponsored Scottish Arbitration Centre business venture using TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS of public money to attract arbitration cases to Scotland’s less than honest legal circuit. However, unfortunately for Lord Nimmo Smith and the remaining non believers of the Magic Circle affair, one of the key participants in the scandal, a lawyer named David Blair Wilson has resurfaced after being arrested by Police for smuggling drugs into jail. Blair Wilson was a key figure in the Magic Circle affair and was investigated by Nimmo Smith in his report, which claimed no sex for justice scandal had occurred. It is rumoured the Crown Office are eager for Blair Wilson not to face a court, in case he carries out his threat to spill the beans on a new gay sex scandal said to be similar in magnitude to the Magic Circle affair, and rumoured to involve some of Scotland’s top judges in the Court of Session as well as Sheriffs, lawyers, some prominent QCs who are never off the television screens, and members of staff at the Scottish Court Service & Crown Office.
