Dunning1874 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Seeing the completely shoeing that lawyer got there, is Ashley trying to wind King up/bleed Rangers dry with nonsense legal proceedings on purpose, or is he just desperately trying anything to keep some degree of control even when it has no chance of success?

strichener Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 A simple 'I feel vindicated with today's judgement, hopefully this now allows us to move on with the rebuilding job at Rangers' I am really disappointed that he chose to lord it up as much as he did, it is in the guys nature I suppose. Agree with you. Although I am sure that he has experienced such a strong judge previously but I am sure that wasn't how he saw it when he was plead guilty to 41 criminal charges.

bennett Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 King needlessly rubbing it in, its ok for us mere mortal football fans to have our fun but this will just antagonise Mike further Dave King has told STV that he is not surprised by today's "withering" judgement by an "experienced judge".[/size] King: "Unsurprising. Glad we had a strong judge who saw this matter for what it really is. It was a humiliating defeat for Mike Ashley."[/size] King: "I've never witnessed a strong judge really virtually tearing someone apart the way he did today."[/size] King: "It was an absolutely humiliating defeat for Mike Ashley. I'm delighted with the outcome."[/size] I disagree, general mike has caused a lot of needless hassle and a wee bit of bravado from king is fair enough. Theres no way that the tank commander will ever be reasonable and this might make him make another rash move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doleman spun it in a way which made it look worse for king/rfc, while stv grant tweeted more evenly covering Ashley's teams, rfc team and the judge. His tweets were on twitter to read for free and some people paid for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agreed, no need for anymore more than that simple statement. Serves no purpose to try an rub Ashley's nose in it. Cheers for the updates Tedi.

Fair point but his (and the 3 bears') ego are the reason they are at the club in the first place. They are in it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 To be fair losing it a bit, at BA for losing baggage is not something we should hold against him surely? been there, done that and it was an infuriating experience for me too. Of course losing baggage is a frustrating experience for anyone. There's a time and a place to complain about this, though, and maybe when you happen to have an airline lawyer in front of you during a court proceeding where you are the presiding authority is ... well, let's be generous and call that questionable. Love this bit of photoshopping. This is how it happened. It is so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesel1994 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Doleman spun it in a way which made it look worse for king/rfc, while stv grant tweeted more evenly covering Ashley's teams, rfc team and the judge. His tweets were on twitter to read for free and some people paid for the privilege. With James (or Frank) Doleman, it isn't the bits he tweets - it is the bits he doesn't tweet. I noticed this in another case being covered by himself and some other neutral reporter. (Not Grant Russell in this case......although Grant does remain neutral in his reporting). Reading the two side by side you noticed the nature of the things Doleman wasn't reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me given the the weak case SD brought to his court. Can't hand out greenies on the mobile that had me chuckling.
