Who's sorry now ?

Creep beat you to it in today's Hearld.

 

I deliberately don't read the Herald, could you tell us what he said?

 

(In fact I'm really disappointed that three of our enemies are in the top ten of NewsNow - or is that due to Tims reading them?)

Will Spiers be pointing out the immorality of the SPL, Neil Lennon and Dermot Diamond?

More or less what you would expect Cal, he has changed the tune from cheating to morally bankrupt. We only just won the taxcase and shouldn't be celebrating getting off with all that money that could've went to the schools and hospitals.

 

So in a nutshell if you have your tax affairs set up to benefit you and not the state your morally bankrupt and should be ashamed of yourself, wonder if any of his pals in the media have their tax plan set up to pay as little as possible.

Shouldn't he be lambasting HMRC for throwing away £30m that could have gone to schools and hospitals? And what about Celtic, they may have got caught and coughed up but they still did committed the same immoral act. What about the BBC? Lennon? Dermot Diamond? Has he himself NEVER done anything to reduce his tax liability?

 

I'm pretty sure every club in the land has done some form of tax avoidance as most companies do. There is a point that perhaps we wen't a bit too far in our tax avoidance (as did Celtic, Arsenal etc) but it was within the rules and was the decision by those running the company that owned the club at the time. How can that be reflected onto the club, the fans and the team? And how is it relevant now?

 

Celtic have been immoral for years and benefiting from it in their trophy cabinet. How about the immorality of postponing a game when you have injury problems due to some player who for a short time played a bit part of your club (and then play when a legend who was still working at the club died), and then making it worse by forcing Rangers to play a load of games at the end of the season - where was the morality there? Why isn't he on his soap box?

 

Or how about the morality of the pressure on the refs? Or the morality of forcing clubs to kick the best club out of the league with the excuse of a crime they didn't commit?

 

Or the morality of forcing an illegal punishment on a club as blackmail to letting it back into the lowest league?

 

Or the morality of trying to steal trophies due to a difference of opinion about how loans should be registered even though accounts were submitted every year?

 

Or the morality of withholding prize money and transfer fees?

 

If he's all into morals, where is his diatribe for all these moral affronts?

So long as he has a pension plan he is minimising his own tax liability, same as everyone else....

 

So Spiers, by his own definition, is morally bankrupt too.

Couldn't make it up could you.
