Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!

Ah, Bendarroch - how I've missed your blinkered stupidity.

Personally, I'm prepared to take this wee Orc at face value. While he does show certain traits of the unlamented link-lover, he may well just be the latest one off the fúckwit production line. We've been a wee bit short of berrz telling us repeatedly that they don't care, on a forum which they reckon is irrelevant, to people whose opinions don't matter to them.

150 posts in a week isn't necessarily the work of an obsessed moron who has no relationships outside his Mum's spare room, so we should give him the benefit of the doubt. If nothing else, it's a wee bit point and laugh fodder to keep us going until the AGM.

Another thing being pedaled i've not said or alluded to.

I think this thread has an odd selection of posters that don't represent the majority but it's always interesting to see mixed views.

Again?

On the contrary - your fanciful invention is unlike any experience I've had. Can't say I've spoken to other Rangers supporters troubled by it either - and I've yet to meet one like aofjays created.

And still you persist with the fantasy

Diddies - bless. I guess it's the price of following a serial no-mark of a club like snmrn.

I take it you didn't read the post you quoted?

Just when I thought Sevco fans had reached the base of their delusion along comes YOU!!. Still, you provide more merry mirth to the joke of a club you follow for us diddies!

Elaborate please?

Don't see where i've been deluded, or is this a circle-jerk type post?

Delusion and denial! Mind you, I suppose it would get to you following a joke of a club that think you MUST use an sledgehammer to crush a soggy pea approach to win a league full of part timers when a teaspoon would have done exactly the same job!

You were sussed long ago as a Celtic man, it shines through. About as precocious as a lump of wood.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. The sporting continuity of the club ............

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a ruling in favour of Rangers FC following an advertising dispute over whether the club should be allowed to advertise using the ‘Scotland’s most successful club’ claim.

The ASA delivered its original ruling in June this year but after an appeal by complainants, the Independent Reviewer agreed that the case should be re-opened because a “valid question mark” had been raised over the adequacy of evidence submitted by the advertiser in the original investigation.

However, following further examination, the ASA stood by its original ruling not to uphold 82 complaints that Rangers were misleading consumers by using an advertising slogan that said: “Join Scotland’s most successful club at Ibrox… still going strong… 54 titles… Rangers then… Rangers now… Rangers forever”.

In a fresh adjudication, the ASA said it was confident that consumers would understand the claim was in reference to the history of Rangers Football Club, but did accept that that the club’s history was “separate to that of Newco”.

“We consulted with UEFA, which explained that its rules allowed for the recognition of the ‘sporting continuity’ of a club’s match record, even if that club’s corporate structure had changed,” the ruling stated.

“We also consulted with the SFA, which confirmed that its definition of a football ‘club’ varied depending on context, and could sometimes refer to an entity separate from the club’s corporate owner.

“The SFA further pointed out that, following RFC’s transfer to a new corporate owner, Newco did not take a new membership of the Scottish FA but rather that previous membership was transferred across to them so they could continue as the same member of the Scottish FA.

“We considered that consumer would understand that the claim in question related to the football club rather than to its owner and operator and therefore concluded that it was not misleading for the ad to make reference to RFC’s history, which was separate to that of Newco.”

The question of whether Newco Rangers should be permitted to trade on the history of the liquidated company has been a bone of contention in Scottish football since Rangers’ financial collapse in 2012.

The Drum understands that the ASA consider the decision final.

Not sure if it's sunk in yet, but no one gives a fck what you think.

[bennett]

You obviously do.


ASA and Uefa stick it to the P&B weirdo's who claim "it pure isnae fair"

Imagine the childish tantrums you'll be throwing when Rangers are beating you on your own ground.

Facing up to reality is difficult, so they cocoon themselves in their own make-believe world.

So essentially, the SFA and UEFA both refused to give a specific yes or no answer to the question, instead making vague and relatively meaningless statements so that everyone can take their own interpretation from it and let the arguments continue?

Doesn't really change much in terms of the arguments for and against.

Beautiful. I feel a song coming on.

It's not as funny as that made up garbage.

Thanks. I'd love to take credit but unfortunately it's all true. Feel free to believe whatever you want though. We'll continue to laugh at you, you continue to pretend not to care.

[Bendarroch]

Ah, Bendarroch - how I've missed your blinkered stupidity.

WKR - still not being taken seriously. I didn't miss your damaged input.

At all.

Summary: We asked a couple of folk and they wouldn't give us a clear cut answer.

Yip, pretty much how i saw it,

The SFA have made a c**t of this saga.

if they admitted Rangers are a new club, you'll have letter bombs, riots in the streets etc... so they need to come up with some sort of dodge every time they get asked. basically spinning a yarn to protect innocent people getting hurt.
