stonedsailor Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 He was outed as a celtic fan ages ago, used the same email address to register for forums, even most celtic fans accept him as one of their own a long time ago. I have no hate for the SFA, all they did here was follow their own rules and even received a certificate of good standing for King from SARS, you really should direct your anger at Mike Ashley for forcing the SFA to spend money to defend this nonsense. A certificate of good standing just means he is not insolvent, allowed to trade in that country and his debts are paid. He still has a criminal record for tax evasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Mike Ashley is an absolute bellend of the highest order. He takes everyone to court and loses, he gets almost as much wrong as Phil. Hopefully Newcastle go down and he can clear out of football as he's no good for anything he gets involved in. Dave King is still a lying criminal who shouldn't be trusted, but that doesn't make Mike Ashley immune from well-deserved criticism. Spot on. I've said before that this battle is like Syria (although obviously more trivial). There really is no good guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming this certificate of good standing from SARS was received before the SFA made their decision. Strange that they didn't mention it at the time - might have saved so much wasted effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Some really diddy-esque words from a MASH spokesman after TFB abandoned his case against The SFA:: This afternoon a Mash spokesman urged the SFA to "come clean with the public about all its dealings in relation to Dave King". He said: "We are delighted that the wall of secrecy surrounding the SFA’s decision to declare Dave King a 'fit and proper person' is finally crumbing. "As a result of legal action concluded today, the SFA has been forced to divulge documents in private to us that reveal the true reasons behind this controversial decision. "This represents a significant victory for MASH and we believe there is a strong public interest in this information now also being made available by the SFA to all football fans. "We therefore urge the SFA to come clean with the public about all its dealings in relation to Dave King. "MASH notes that the SFA did not approve Dave King to be a director of the football club (The Rangers Football Club Limited, the body which has membership of the SFA), but instead only approved him as a director of the club’s holding company (Rangers International Football Club plc). "We find it astonishing that Mr King talks and acts as if he runs Rangers, whilst at the same time his lawyers claim he is not a de facto director of The Rangers Football Club Limited." http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/7113831/Stop-your-personal-vandetta-Ashley-drops-ANOTHER-court-case-against-Dave-King.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes not an ounce of sense. When I described MASH's statement as Diddy-esque I mean this: MASH had to climb down from their earlier ignorant position and, rather than acknowledging their error, tried to turn it in to some sort of triumph. They also tried to change the terms of the debate after their original premise was found to be flawed. Every sane person will recognise that both those traits are common amongst The Big Thread Diddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Traits that are at least equally prevalent among the Rangers fans on here. Well of course if I say 'tit' you have to reply with 'tat'. This is why we've trodden water on this thread for 3+ years. The Most diddies are singularly incapable of acknowledging their calumnies and moving on. An exception is The DA for whom today's outcome was truly Damascene. Today's capitulation from MASH demonstrated that The SFA had a robust and credible process in place to assess King as a F&PP. Concomitantly it also showed that the wilder claims of The Big Thread Diddies were baseless. That you're not laughing at MASH's peevish press release makes you part of the problem.

If a regular diddy poster on here says something like, "I got it wrong.

OK, I'll say it. "I got it wrong. Today, the scales fell from my eyes and I acknowledge that The SFA have a robust and credible process to investigate King as a F&PP and they were right in their assessment". I think that statement might come back to haunt Rangers fans, though. BTW, when you say 'The SFA', is that like 'The Rangers'? Do you know something we don't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 There was a sweeping statement about all Rangers fans hating the SFA on the previous page, it happens. If you believe you hold different views, just say so and move on. Which is what I did. I resent the way he continues to generalise about the diddies. It's dishonest and brainless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for being reasonable. I think that statement might come back to haunt Rangers fans, though. Indeed. Given the current gap between income and expenditure we have a problem. This is partly acknowledged by the board but there's still a wee bit of 'chemical ali' going on. We Bears may shit in the woods but we're no where near being out of them yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So the upshot is we don't know why being a criminal doesn't prevent you from passing the fit and proper persons test nor do we know why being the director of a club that had an insolvency event doesn't matter either and we won't get to know. All we know is that the South African tax authorities are not pursuing dodgy dave at this time. A stunning victory for opacity and corruption, no wonder the bears love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the bears really love it or is this just the standard "victory" celebrations we (usually) see from the half wits. Eg sevco fan in my work says: "Fat Ashley threw in the towel cause he now thinks he'll get 'Sports Direct' plastered all over Europe". So is my colleague an aberration or are the P&B loyal just on their usual wind up attempts? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
