Advertising Standards Authority step into Scottish football

669

I hear the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have written to complainants confirming they are investigating adverts run by Rangers International Football Club plc, in which they claim to be Scotland’s most successful football club.  You and I know that’s not the case, Celtic are Scotland’s most successful football club, followed at a distance by Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts, Hibs, Queens Park, Motherwell, Kilmarnock……. and ultimately East Fife.

The confusion has perhaps arisen following the demise of The Rangers Football Club plc, who laid claim to 54 Scottish titles before their failure to pay creditors ultimately led to liquidation.  Rangers International Football Club plc have traded for less than a year and would be pushed to justify their claim in the face of Celtic’s magnificent domestic and European history.  They cannot, of course, claim to be a now liquidated company.

The Advertising Standards Authority will write to both the advertiser and advert broadcaster asking them to submit evidence in support of their claim.  The ASA will then send a recommendation to the ASA Council for adjudication.

In the event the advertiser accepts the complaint and agrees to change future advertising claims the ASA will write to complainers to confirm the matter has been resolved.

Celtic’s claim is simple, we are the champions of Scotland, winners of more leagues and cups than anyone else still kicking a ball in Britain, Northern Europe’s first European Champions and we observe all football, tax and civil laws.

    They are a daft wee division three club, we should forget about them, give them the respect we gave elgin when they came into the league, welcome but prove your place wee man.

    “This pre-season is going to solve all our problems, not sure whether you know this or not but we never had one last year.

     

    Expect us to win every competition we enter with a pre-season behind us. ”

    100% agree with your reply. I totally detest them, regardless of what they have done to our game, but, because they are the most nauseating club and support the civilised world must have observed. Hell mend them.

    You are spot on. They will come back and attempt, and will, manufacture their way back to the top. It’s in their DNA, once a fraudster,, ach well ye know what I mean.

    Some politician said today that the recession is going to last until 2018…… I don’t know what school he went to, but it certainly didn’t teach arithmetic …… Someone needs to remind him that, thanks to politicians and bankers, (excuse the bad spelling) the National debt currently stands at circa £1.3 trillion, and rising……. God give us the patience to tolerate politicians….

    That’s exactly it.

     

     

    99% on here, me included, loathe the term ‘Old Firm’. But we perpetuate it by obsessing about a small, grubby, dead team a million miles away from us in every way.

     

     

    i can’t believe that in the great season we are having, our focus is on them.

     

     

    Talk about doing their job for them?

     

     

    If we really want to kill the ‘Old Firm’ p*sh, let’s leave the b*****s alone and talk about US, and Barcelona, and Juventus, and Benfica and the future in Europe.

     

     

    Stop worrying the corpse.
