  1. http://www.unionoffans.org/contact/ Don't seem to be doing too much verification; I've just signed up my RSC, and given their address as the following: http://www.bluenose.co.uk/ (Sorry Mr. C, couldn't resist)

"Each door is held in the open position by a suitable friction clutch, which can be instantly released by means of a powerful electro-magnet controlled from the captain's bridge, so that in the event of accident, or at any time when it may be considered advisable, the captain can, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the doors throughout and make the vessel practically unsinkable." - White Star Line, 1911 "Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." - Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929 "Under this government, Britain will never return to the boom and bust of the past". - Gordon Brown, 1999 "The bad news for Scottish football is this is as bad as it gets for Glasgow Rangers" - Walter Smith, 1998
  3. Hard to argue with this. If only Morton were one of the biggest brands in the world. Then they'd be fine.
  4. Well Done Alan Moore, you crazy old b*****d!
  5. I don't think they should play Van Dijk so far up the park. He's more of a sweeper.
  6. HE MUST SCORE!!!!!!!!!! (he disnae)
  7. I'm glad Lennon's flapping his own hands and not someone elses. That would be confusing.
  8. To be fair, he wasn't responsible for your signing policy.
  9. Hahaha Chic Young might know f**k all about football, but he's a quality wind-up merchant. GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (nah its no)
  10. Ach well. The silver lining to all this shite is the eejits are taking their eyes off the ball to go after a journalist who said nothing at all, rather than examining some of the very interesting connections between "their" club's shareholders.
  11. 'k. might be time to close this thread now Div. Its got beyond disturbing, and they are deid.
  12. Heres a bit on Laxey in the Evening Standard: "Another outfit that stirs up trouble in the hope of making a profit is Laxey Partners. Headed by Colin Kingsnorth, Laxey has a succession of victims on its belt, including British Land, where it tried to unseat the property giant's then head, Sir John Ritblat. Laxey's ownership can be traced to the Isle of Man but the firm works out of a small office in Jermyn Street. The object of its latest assault is Hirco, the AIM-listed Indian property developer. Hirco is run by the wealthy Hiranandani family. Laxey holds 10.05% of Hirco and QVT, a fund with which it is closely linked, also has 4.95%. Kingsnorth has called for an emergency shareholders' meeting to change the seven-strong board. He is demanding that Niranjan Hiranandani, the chairman and father of Priya Hiranandani, the chief executive, resigns and that four "independent" directors are appointed. It's not clear what his game plan is but it would come as no surprise if Kingsnorth was pressing for the quick sale of Hirco properties. He's argued against what he perceives as the lack of transparency and governance within Hirco. However, of the four new "independents", one is Andrew Pegge, his Laxey co-founder, another is Michael Haxby, a Laxey executive. A third, Aled Rhys-Jones, runs Celtic Asset Management. Celtic's chief financial officer, Christopher Bruce, was Laxey's CFO between 2001 and 2007. In Switzerland, Laxey is embroiled in a row about secret stakebuilding in Implenia, the country's biggest building services group. Between late 2006 and 2007, Laxey used different banks to "warehouse" contracts for difference in Implenia. Under Swiss law, holdings in derivatives are subject to the same rules of disclosure as normal shares. Laxey, which denies any transgression, could face criminal prosecution. Hirco does not need lectures from Laxey. And if we're serious about the City learning lessons and moving forward, we should take a long, hard look at Laxey and its fellow activists."
  13. Laxey Partners, which is led by investment bankers Andrew Pegge and Colin Kingsworth, states on its website that it "conducts investments in companies which it feels are undervalued". It has been described as an "activist shareholder" in various companies, where it has purchased a small stake and used its position to call for the removal of board members over poor performance of companies. Hired Vultures Kingsworth has scampered merrily from one corpse to the next across his career: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=5099463&privcapId=7642082 One amusing item in his portfolio is the following property company (specialising in office developments on brownfield sites): http://www.celtic.pl/en/o-grupie-1/rada-nadzorcza-1/colin-kingsnorth-member-of-the-supervisory-board (edit to fix links)
  14. ... Meanwhile on RangersMedia, tough questions are being asked: Where is the Broadfoot transfer money? Okay, its not the one I'd be starting with, but I'm smarter than your average bear
  15. I'm looking forward to the game. There are some real wildcard players in that lineup. Is Bebe Fergie's Worst ever signing? Are Cole and Barmby the real deal, or do they just sound like it? Truth be told, I know a wee bit more about some of the Man U reserves than County's signings from the Nether regions.
  16. I'm staggered. In this whole miasma of arrogant fuckwittery, that is the most gobsmacking interview yet.
  17. Someone at the Press Assocation has a cruel sense of Humour; Rangers recruit Hoilett The Press Association - ‎40 minutes ago‎
