the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 You would need to be mad to hand over money off the back of this. I might set up a page myself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,965 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Doncaster's words yesterday were of a man desperate for someone to find an angle to punish us despite the apparently thorough work of Gerry Moynihan Q.C. I don't expect the clamour to die down any time soon but I struggle to see how an alternative strategy can be found given there's no way whatsoever the likes of Rod McKenzie and others would have left any rabbit hole unexplored. I think they believe a Judicial Review of the SFA's/SPL's/SPFLs actions and decisions, or lack of actions and decisions, from day 1 (original intimation of the use of EBTs in Annual A/Cs) until the Supreme Court judgement, embracing the Administration, the Liquidation, the LNS tribunal, the 5 way Agreement, the Res 11 grievance, and whatever other imagined wrongs lurk behind their close set eyes in what passes for their minds, will reveal somewhere an oversight, a false step, a memory lapse, a genuine mistake, enabling them to claim that if this error, no matter how slight, no matter how irrelevant, had not occurred, then titles would have been removed. What they are peddling is pedantry and process, and it does seem to me that this is something of a long shot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a guy sat on a beach somewhere with a pint in his hand as a result of that ..... cheers. If you're that stupid to have donated, there's no way you're going to own up to having 'invested'. And if you did, you deserve to be laughed at, not pitied. I've got a feeling that there will be many other chancers (possibly even in the legal profession) that will entice other fan groups to pay them to review these decisions. In the meantime we will continue to focus on our club until one day they wake up and wonder what happened, and how the hell we managed to get back to dominating the game here again. It's simple, it's all about the Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 One guy seemingly donated 500 pounds. I would imagine what he did is a criminal act so he may not be laughing in the end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I hope no one is naive enough to think our titles are safe yet. Personally, I fully expect the SPFL / SFA to open the door to a new and ultimately unfavourable review. I agree they will not give up on this but for me the saving line is what the judge of the tax case said at the very end 'That what Rangers did was not unlawful. Without these words we would have been in shit street imo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I saw mention of the SFSA somewhere. Not sure whether it was here or sent on to me by a mate. For anyone in any doubt what this lot are about, here's their latest outpouring --- " Time To Unite Around One Banner On Wednesday what we all suspected would happen, happened. Although we fans knew it was coming it did not lower the frustration we feel. The clubs via the SPFL decided to brush the biggest sporting scandal to hit UK sport under the carpet. The days of fans being taken for mugs ends now ! It is time for all groups of supporters and individuals to rally around one organisation. After many meetings and conversations with fan groups we have decided that there is only one viable long-term option. The Scottish Football Supporters Association have the organisation and resources to bring real change to every level of our game. The SFSA are an independent fans organisation. They already represent over 68,000 Scottish football supporters who have joined. Many of the members are players, managers (current and former), and even referees. They have a strong board in place and have access to legal professionals along with experts on greater fan involvement from across Europe. We have had extensive talks with their representatives and are wholeheartedly convinced that they not only share our goals but are ultimately the best body to bring about lasting and positive change to how our game is governed and evolves in the future. The SFSA have a wide manifesto, they are not a single issue group like Strip The Titles. What happened during the Dos/EBT years must be addressed and fans must be satisfied and confident that it can’t be repeated. However we believe the best way to address that issue is by tackling the most important governance issues first. On Monday we held a meeting to plan the way forward for Strip The Titles. We have a company on stand by to print large and small banners. We also have plans in place to have 100,000 leaflets printed at short notice and decided to open a discussion forum to allow debate and take instructions from our members on various types of action. We are confident that we can get these titles stripped by the end of this season. The main problem for us was that when the titles were stripped from RCF(IL) the same people would still be in charge of the SFA, SPFL, and the clubs. That is not good enough therefore we have come to the following decision. “Strip The Titles” campaign will be mothballed after today but can be restarted with current plans ready to be put into action if the need arises. At present we don’t anticipate having to restart. We thank all of you for your support. In three weeks we have shown that fans from all clubs are ready and willing to work together for the common good. This should be celebrated, we were never a ‘mob’ or ‘online fundamentalists’, we are honest supporters who want our game back. We ask three things from you all: That you all follow and engage with @scottishfsa on Twitter and Facebook. If you have not already done so please join SFSA . Please take time to fill in the survey. We appreciate that some of you will be disappointed but unity at this time will be better for our game in the long run and that is the most important thing. Look out for your chance to fund a Judicial Review coming shortly. Thank you all, together we can do this. " THE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS ASSOCIATION - except if you support Rangers. Mentalists. All encompassing mentalists... unless you support Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I appreciate your concern, but our titles are safe and always have been. It just took this long to go through the charade. The hating will continue but it's a waste of their energy. The thing is, yes it is a charade. But you've got to think; what is their goal? It is just to drum up more hatred against Rangers. They are probably glad it hasn't went through as it gives more scope to up the hatred. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
