Fasda Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The BBC is not 'any' news broadcaster. It is a tax funded public service broadcaster. It is not there to sell copies like the Telegraph or chase ratings like ITV. If it has evidence of criminal activity is duty bound to inform the appropriate authority straight away rather then drip feed it over time for the sake of entertainment. Rubbish, they're in competition with every other news media. Even more so when the tories are in the ascendancy and baying for cuts. BBC Newsnight, thumbs up for me. BC sportsound, sack the useless chunts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 As far as I am concerned the right reasons for supporting Celtic or Rangers would be coming from the local area or having close ties to the club, players in the family, family from the area the club hail from, etc the thing is these clubs were not built on the bigotry and hatred they exposed it to accelerate growth and dominate the game, some folks do have legitimate reasons for their support but get sucked into the shyte that goes along with it. What is needed is for the decent fans amongst them to drive out the old tired ideas which built these clubs up and move on, put the past behind them and become sporting institutions again as opposed to what they are now. Interesting. We shall have to agree to disagree on this one as I really don't see any right reason to support either of them. It's just a pity they don't all have the intellect to see through it as you did.Thanks SS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huckleberry Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Money runs out in 6 days then D&P have to somehow find the money to continue. Players contracts revert back to pre Feb 14th levels. Cant see this continuing much longer. Why hasnt there been a call for DM to loose his knighthood? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymores Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) The prize for most ludicrous piece of tripe of the day has to go (again) to the Daily Record. Instead of focusing all their efforts solely on the the issues and fallout surrounding the BBC prog., they chose to publish an article: "Rangers are going through hell but top stars still want to sign for us, says chief scout John Brown" http://www.dailyreco...86908-23871165/ INCREDIBLE journalism on so many levels. I think the only worthy comment is: Tho I did giggle at this line from the article: "Brown is gearing up for a summer of watching DVDs". what would those be? The Harry Potter ones? The Lion King?

WhiteRoseKillie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Well, there's an option for you if Mr Johnston bends over for the Ibrox shilling, don't spend your hard earned bawbees on the SPL, support a nearby team in the SFL . Dear God! Wash your mouth ou... oh hang on, A*r fan..... I am currently holding without-prejudice interviews for a more local non-SPL side to follow if things get any worse down RP way. Currently leaning towards Sheff Wed, although Huddersfield make a reasonable case (the blue's a bit washed out though, TBF). Just off-topic for a minute - well done to the Minstermen for their season - don't think many had budgeted for TWO Wembley trips! Great to see diddy fans in any country tasting success! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have these stars been told the contract they sign is singular, just the one and no 2nd contract is available to top up the basic they sign for and that is passed to the SPL. We need transparency, we have a right to know. Edited May 24, 2012 by MEADOWXI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I continued on my way without breaking my stride, but did offer them a couple of four letter words to ponder....TICK and TOCK."

Claymores Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 So what is the story about the mystery 250K to Banstead? I wondered that - it seemed to be a piece from a first edit of the programme that accidentally got left-in. It was totally diconnected from the rest of the documentary 'storyline' and thrust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingraypoindexter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Surely the recipients of the EBT's are liable for paying tax? apologies if i have completely missed something here. That's a great point actually, one i don't think anyone else has picked up on. Maybe you should email HMRC and ask them to investigate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie guevara Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 So what is the story about the mystery 250K to Banstead? Look into my eyes, only at my eyes - there is no £250k and there never was, OK? Just like there were no Arsenal shares apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
