Rangers case at Supreme Court tomorrow

[JackSnakes]

The funniest thing is how they have convinced themselves that "they" were wronged by people - that somehow this 'entity' has been damaged by outside forces...
How utterly fkn STUPID can you be???
Putting aside for one minute this fkn stupid club/company pish (the company was liquidated - its business ceased to be - its ONLY business was running a football club - you can see where I'm going with this...) the fact of the matter is that it was Rangers FC Ltd that committed the crime. It was Rangers FC Ltd that withheld the PAYE - that dished out the side letters - that tried to con the taxman - that hired players they couldn't otherwise afford thereby cheating the rest of the clubs in the league out of a sporting chance.
(Funny how they are happy to cast aspersions on other football clubs due to the actions of members of their board - Dundee and Celtic spring to mind - but are happy to divorce their own shlthole from those who ran it...)
They got caught.
They ceased to exist.
They weren't demoted.
They weren't "voted down" by the other 11 clubs
They ceased to exist and restarted again (by no small chicanery) in the fourth tier - a situation I am not too unhappy about as it did bring a wee bit of revenue in for some other smaller clubs...
The bottom line is they tried to come wide and got caught, and now they are greetin the face of anyone who will listen squealing that they were hard done to.
They could have done something great in the last five years. They could have given their academy boys a chance - they could have stood out like a beacon of opportunity and decency - they could have washed themselves clean and come up with everyone (bar Celtic supporters) wishing them the very best for the way they handled themselves... but did they?
Did they fk.
They hired crooks and conmen and any dodgy character that was willing to launder money through them.
They bought unnecessarily to win divisions they should have been able to win with their juniors.
They have sickened everyone and are scratching their thick heads wondering why no-one likes them.
It's because you are filth, that's why.

The UK Government has added new legislation to allow HMRC to go after EBT schemes as far back as 1999, I will be amazed if the Supreme Court goes against that. Ironic that the huns are really 'at war' with the Queen and her Most Majestic Britannic Government here. I'm backing the Queen

Going back over old ground I know but some of Lord Drummond Young's utterances have nothing to do with the law (which seems to ignore 'common sense' on many issues) and ventured opinion rather than an interpretation of law.

I would be absolutely amazed if the BDO appeal fails.
Worth noting that Ronald De Boer , amongst others , stated that they would have signed regardless of EBTs

Aye RIGHT!!!

Whatever happens there is no way they'll get our titles. I can't see the SFA wanting to drag Scottish football through the mud any longer. So we'll see a Timmy meltdown either way.

I hope they do lose their titles they cheatin bastarts....

Lets face it, many of the players who rolled up to Ibrox, would not have been there without the EBT payments. They were not there to do painting, work in the restaurant or operate turnstyles so every payment generated by the club to them individually was linked to their playing career.
