Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!


Recommended Posts

Dont forget that two days ago Philip was also caught lying about a young spurs player and had to delete a blog and quite a few tweets.

Tell the truth and do some research, no complaints.

Lie, don't bother with research and you may well get some complaints.

Journalisim 101...

Does 'Jornalisim 101' cover the use of spell-checkers?

'While one of our advertisers is on the board at Rangers that was never an issue and we shall continue to report and comment on the pressing issues of the day without fear or favour.'

Paranoid Jackanory Dave.

Wonder why they felt they had to mention that. It's almost as if they're saying one thing and... implying something else.

Stop being so bloody stupid.The contentious remark appears to have been made verbally and then been alluded to in an e-mail exchange.Are you arguing about this?Actual discussion was once possible.

I'm not getting why he doesn't understand this. I don't even think it's the usual "defend Rangers at all costs" thing, I think he's not getting the chain of events and what happened verbally versus email.

1 Verbal conversation first between Spiers and RFC director a while ago.

2 Hibs match with lots of naughty singing.

3 Then Spiers writes column where he says RFC don't seem to have mettle to address sectarian singing.

4 Then it all kicks off over email, where RFC says you can't say that about us. Spiers says he heard something worrying straight from a director, director denies it.

5 Herald cannot legally defend what Spiers has said about RFC not addressing sectarianism, so they have to apologise.

I would be absolutely flabbergasted if an RFC director had said anything so stupid about TBB over email. I don't think any sane person is saying he has. So publishing emails would achieve hee-haw.

Of all the cranks and zoomers who comment on football in Scotland professionally, it's noticeable that the Rangers fans have whipped up furious complaints about

- Jim Spence, one of the very few hacks who got into journalism through fanzines, i.e. was so much of a fan of his club that he made a career of it, and

- Graeme Spiers, who is basically a drippy and quite boring Christian geezer who specialises in saying controversial things like "sectarian chanting is quite bad" and in a particularly dull form of rose-tinted retrospection.

bit harsh but seeing as you'll probably have a meltdown at some point tonight i'll forgive you.

Me? Meltdown? No not ever.

A well-worded rant and the occasional diatribe, possibly.

Anyway, I'll have my dinner of humble pie, angela-hair pasta with some asparagus spiers, washed down with a large glass of bitter orange.

Is there a point to this post ?

Rangers threatened legal action, the Herald who will have all the emails consulted their legal team and were told the statement made by Spiers would not hold up legally...thems the facts

That might be the case. You know as little as me.

It doesn't really have any bearing on the veracity of his claims though.

In the real world

'The issue was whether we could defend in court a contentious statement and the advice given was that we could not. Finally, on clear legal advice, we were left with no option other than to apologise and seek to draw a line under the matter.'[/size]

Is "contentious statement" a synonym of "lie"?
