muirkirk nil Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 What's your IQ and I would happily prove mine is higher then Your the Dullard mate at least the niche I'm in fits me, at least when I make a point on the forum it's valid, when you make one everyone just reads over it and thinks your a wet cabbage then skips it ^^^^^^^ Kieran Prior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossbill Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The never-ending story That is an excellent piece of writing. The SMSM should read that and hang their heads in shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That is an excellent piece of writing. The SMSM should read that and hang their heads in shame. Are there really 3 years between that article and the previous one in November 2012? I assume it's been on hiatus - legal reasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Really? I have never, more than two years on, heard one word of criticism over the way it was conducted. It was clear, consistent, thoughtful and well documented. Fulfilled the "justice must be seen to be done" maxim in an exemplary way. What aspect(s) of its conduct have you issues with and why has no one else raised this? It operated on a basis that was fluid at the time and has since changed. Saying that they were doing so and had no interest in how that situation might change does not make it right. The SPL are probably more guilty than the commission here, but either way, justice was not served by such an approach. Its ruling also contained a mention of "no sporting advantage". This is a ludicrous notion and it has been discredited. It's kind of you to suggest that I'm the only one capable of seeing and highlighting such things Kincardine, but I'm afraid that it's not remotely the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHawHaw Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That is an excellent piece of writing. The SMSM should read that and hang their heads in shame. RTC is indeed an excellent source The most shameful reaction to all of this is, by a distance, are the people charged to run our game honestly, it's stunning to me how much they were corrupted by the Rangers debacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHope Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 ++++logs onto the swamp to check party line that kinky, Tedi and benny will be using++++ I have to say (if you are referring to another site) that your line of attack is a tad unfair to the guys on here who take on all-comers in this thread (dedicated to Rangers on a neutral forum). My thinking is that it would be highly unlikely that any Internet users who have such high post counts on here would be totally bereft of other things in life to have a similarly fervent forum membership elsewhere... Do you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHope Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Rangers fans don't care about the appeall Eta. Lol..where is the supreme court? Is it in the UK? Never mind, Njord. I think I have my answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHope Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The contortion was needed when you wished to tie the FTTT verdict to the title stripping inquiry; before then completely divorcing the two when the CoS revised the FTTT ruling. That's a fair point (in general terms - I have no idea if it is a relevant stick with which to beat the poster you are referring to). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHope Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 And may I just add that 'Monkey Tennis' is indeed an excellent summation of this whole thread thus far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A quote from the telegraph " However, it is believed that one argument against the supposition that Rangers secured players by means of EBTs is that a range of variable inducements were in operation at that time and not only at Ibrox. Other avoidance schemes involved investment in such vehicles as film production companies and forestry development" Film production companies? A pretty common tax dodge amongst media types, apparently. Not sure exactly how it works, but I think its something along the lines of investing money in a film production company which makes losses that you use to offset tax ...possibly. Its what some of Take That were done for I believe. How apt that Rangers main line of defence is pure whataboutery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRF-LCC-RFC Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Never had a RM account and never will, the place is a joke, probably more Rangers hating obsessives post there than genuine Rangers fans. FF, I have about 300 posts. Wunf / Njord probably has 10x that on FF, he already admitted on here to having 7 user accounts, he also claims to know a celtic fan who lives on FF and has over 20k posts. Hahaha what a sad obsession mate from CFC fansRM is alright but there's always a few really poor posters on it, (BiB ) who just talk mince sarcastically about everything etc. Even if they are a real bear it's not really worth reading for more than 30 mins a week unfortunately, that seems to be the way the big posters of that forum operate rather than check every day Edited December 1, 2015 by MRF-LCC-RFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get about this line of reasoning is Celtic cheating (if they did outside of benny's head) doesn't make Rangers cheating OK. At the most it should mean Celtic get the book thrown at them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The never-ending story Great piece and puts forward a very strong argument. The final paragraphs echo my dismay at the fact we're coming out of this saga full speed ahead back to square one. A really depressing moment in Scottish football history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It operated on a basis that was fluid at the time and has since changed. Saying that they were doing so and had no interest in how that situation might change does not make it right. I assume that the commission pretty-much disregarded the use of EBTs as their use in no way contravened SPL rules. Instead they thoroughly investigated how players' contacts were presented to the authorities and, rightly, found us culpable. Its ruling also contained a mention of "no sporting advantage". This is a ludicrous notion and it has been discredited. I thought your issue was over the way the commission conducted its business. What you actually take issue with is the outcome. The two are very different. It's kind of you to suggest that I'm the only one capable of seeing and highlighting such things Kincardine, but I'm afraid that it's not remotely the case. I was, of course, being ironic. Rightly so in the light of your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of time going on about cheating I just don't understand the desperation to keep titles from a time when your club was cheating. Honour and dignity seem to be foreign concepts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final paragraphs echo my dismay at the fact we're coming out of this saga full speed ahead back to square one. A really depressing moment in Scottish football history. I stopped reading at the end of the first paragraph. Anyone who tries to be serious yet says, "Most significantly, the campaign to have the farcical Nimmo Smith Commission findings set aside must be put on ice." is clearly marching to a different beat to we sane people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When clubs can get done for the "Sporting Advantage" of paying their players a week late yet a commission finds no advantage in not paying the taxman at all it looks like the commission might not have conducted it's business correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... as a sane person(?) you think the Nimmo Smith Commission should be put aside? And there was me saying rangers fans have no honour or dignity. I stand corrected - there is at least one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
