ian1964 10,486 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Lifted from FF: From Celtic Quick News Quote: I hear the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have written to complainants confirming they are investigating adverts run by Rangers International Football Club plc, in which they claim to be Scotlandâ??s most successful football club. You and I know thatâ??s not the case, Celtic are Scotlandâ??s most successful football club, followed at a distance by Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts, Hibs, Queens Park, Motherwell, Kilmarnockâ?¦â?¦. and ultimately East Fife. The confusion has perhaps arisen following the demise of The Rangers Football Club plc, who laid claim to 54 Scottish titles before their failure to pay creditors ultimately led to liquidation. Rangers International Football Club plc have traded for less than a year and would be pushed to justify their claim in the face of Celticâ??s magnificent domestic and European history. They cannot, of course, claim to be a now liquidated company. The Advertising Standards Authority will write to both the advertiser and advert broadcaster asking them to submit evidence in support of their claim. The ASA will then send a recommendation to the ASA Council for adjudication. In the event the advertiser accepts the complaint and agrees to change future advertising claims the ASA will write to complainers to confirm the matter has been resolved. Celticâ??s claim is simple, we are the champions of Scotland, winners of more leagues and cups than anyone else still kicking a ball in Britain, Northern Europeâ??s first European Champions and we observe all football, tax and civil laws. http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/?p=11953 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,328 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 In their own universe. Their obsesssion knows no bounds ... and at some point you should actually start targetting them legally for libel, bringing our good name into disrepute or whatever strucks the correct cord. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Rangers must be their last thought at night, and the first in the morning. It's a beautiful thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUDE 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 It really is. The best thing is not actively seeking out to do anything to bother them, we just get to them by being there. Beauty. Can't wait for the day we do this by stealing "their" silverware. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're talking shite. observing criminal law is a different kettle of fhish, though, - or is covering up child abuse a football, tax or civil matter? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
